Protect Oak Hills Woodlands as Permanent Open SpaceOak Hills Park is a city park in Norwalk, CT occupied primarily by an 18-hole golf course. Approximately 7-10 acres of natural woodlands are located within the park's boundaries behind the restaurant parking lot. The Oak Hills woodlands comprise hundreds of mature trees and are situated on a steep slope including a rock ledge and bordered by a wetland, forming habitat for many species of wildlife. In 1999 and again in 2012-2013, the woodlands were threatened by Oak Hills Park Authority's plan to construct a golf driving range on this site. At its August 15, 2013 meeting, Oak Hills Park Authority voted unanimously to *NOT* pursue the driving range proposal in this location, and to work instead with a developer proposing a driving range on existing golf course acreage near the first tee. While we applaud Oak Hills Park Authority's decision not to destroy the woodlands at this time, we don't want to have to fight this fight again. Therefore we call upon Norwalk's Mayor, Common Council, Oak Hills Park Authority, and other governing bodies to designate the woodlands in Oak Hills Park as permanent open space, to preserved, conserved, and protected from development in perpetuity. The League of Women Voters of Norwalk voted on September 16 to advocate protecting the woodlands as permanent open space. This position is in accord with the LWVUSA position on land use and open space.242 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Elsa Peterson Obuchowski

Air the documentary "Citizen Koch"As a supporter of Public Broadcasting and KIXE, I believe we need to show the Independent Lens episode "Citizen Koch" to tell the truth about the Koch brothers, even though David Koch is a major donor to public television.341 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Roderic G Stephens

WGBH-Boston: Please air the film documentary, Citizen Koch, fulfilling your obligation to your va...Pulling the plug on "Citizen Koch" sets a bad precedent for *public* television, an important place for citizen engagement and discourse, and sets a bad precedent for our already fragile and beleaguered American democracy. It is incumbent upon WGBH to stand up to the Koch brothers, while standing up for the citizens who deserve, and have paid for, all aspects of a given story, and as this story has particular import, WGBH can have little to fear in doing the right thing by its public and citizen sponsorship, while enabling for the larger conversation and engagement that must be had surrounding this important documentary.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by lisa wiesner

UNC-TV air the documentary, "Citizen Koch".Corporations have great power through their freedom to spend unlimited funds to political advantage to gain even greater wealth and power. Many people are unaware of this danger to our democracy. I want this documentary to be shown to add transparency to "we the people" having lost control of our nation. I look to public media's help shedding light on this unfolding disaster to our nation.319 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Lewis E Patrie, M. D.

Koch AddictionsI always notice that Kochs make a point of sponsoring some of the PBS shows here in Maine. Is that supposed to bestow humanist credibility upon them? They should have absolutely no influence on the content we can see. They don't sponsor "Citizen Koch." Fine. That should be all.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Charles Blaisdell

Wisconsin Public Television: Air the documentary Citizen Koch!"Citizen Koch" was pulled from national public television broadcast due to fear of upsetting David Koch, who has been a major donor to public television. Public television is supposed to provide unbiased information to the public--without billionaires like the Koch brothers controlling what can or cannot be broadcast--and I would like to be able to see "Citizen Koch" uncensored on public broadcasting in my area.4,820 of 5,000 SignaturesCreated by Carl Hosterman
