School-Within-School (SWS) will move to the Goding Elementary School building that currently houses Prospect Learning Center at 10th & F Street NE this fall. School Within a School is one of our most popular neighborhood elementary schools and has historically admitted a majority of neighborhood students through its local school boundaries. Currently, it has the highest percentage of neighborhood children of any school on Capitol Hill. School parents and neighbors applauded loudly when we learned it would receive its own school building at 10th & F, but we are very disappointed to learn that DCPS has dropped the school boundaries and is not providing ANY neighborhood preference. Already this year, two families who live directly across the street from the school had their children denied admission to SWS. Last year, SWS has the one of the few longest waitlists for PreK3 admissions in the entire city with 275 families seeking, but not obtaining admission. With a continuing boom in our neighborhood’s young population and no preference for neighborhood families, Capitol Hill parents stand to lose one of our most popular schools as a viable public school option for our children.

I can not turn my head and allow workplace bullying. I have a new diagnosis with what I just experienced: PTSD due to a hostile work enviroment. I am still wondering if I am actually totally disabled from the bullying I just experienced, and am facing weekly appointments with mental health professionals. What can you do? I did talk to an attorney who said their's no law against "abusive work enviroments, that's why workplace bullying continues and is on the rise". Well, please help me to make an antibullying law, the bill is already written, and can be found under Mass.HB1766. Please everybody get involved! This is far too important to ignore, and is this worst form of discrimation as it has been brushed under the carpet for too long. I am just one of the millions that have been injured.

This petition is about stopping Social Services from taking children from loving and deserving homes and putting them up for adoption. This happened to our family not once, but twice because my nephew was taken from my sister, he was placed in foster care and then with me where he was subsequently taken for mandates, whatever that means. I feel that he should be home with my sister as she complied with their demands and was told she had a year to comply, after 4 months of complying, they forced her to sign her rights over. He is currently up for adoption, all he wants is to be home and that is all we want to!!

Jeff Flake voted against the Gun Control measure though the majority of the people in this country want us to pass such legislation and go further in preventing gun violence in the streets. By voting "No" he is bending to whim of special interest groups and not to the will of the people. You have to ask yourself how many does the NRA have in their pockets and those are the representatives we have to root out and send home pakcing.

The citizens of the United States of America rejected SOPA/PIPA. The CISPA was passed by the House under our noses. It's the SAME THING. Stop the Senate from passing this bill. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyber_Intelligence_Sharing_and_Protection_Act

By passing a national law to create a 38-hour workweek, we can strengthen the economy and increase employment. For every 19 people working 40 hours a week, a new full-time job or two new part-time jobs can be created. With 114 million people employed full-time in the United States, decreasing the workweek by two hours will generate up to 6 million full-time or 12 million part-time jobs.

Leo is NOT A CRIMINAL but ICE wants to deport him. Leandro Jose Frageri Carlos (A# 098-714-990) has lived in the United States and New Jersey for over 8 years. His fiance and their US citizen daughters would be devastated if he left. His family and community wants to keep him here!

To Whom It May Concern, I was the immediate supervisor for SPC Annzala Pitt at C.Co 225 BSB. In the time that SPC Pitt was part of my squad she encountered numerous difficulties which I believe were entirely due to being mistreated by her senior leadership. When SPC Pitt arrived at 225 BSB she had a medical situation that required attention prior to her deployment to Iraq. When she voiced her concerns to 1LT Riglick not only were her concerns dismissed but her private health information was erroneously released to multiple parties. SPC Pitt filed a complaint for the HIPPA violation against the offending party, 1LT Riglick. A few months later 1LT Riglick was assigned to C.Co as our Platoon Leader. This is undoubtedly the situation that caused SPC Pitt to be labeled as a problem soldier by C.Co leadership. SPC Pitt was not protected from reprisal and was treated badly for the duration of her time with C.Co 225 BSB. The result of filing her HIPPA complaint against 1LT Riglick was having a stigma placed on her by the very leadership that was supposed to be protecting her. She endured rumors, attacks on her character, and even attempts at discrediting her intellectual capacities. She was even accused of having inappropriate relationships with multiple senior Non-Commissioned Officers by our Platoon Leader 1LT Riglick. SPC Pitt continuously sought only to do her job as a mental health specialist and as her first line supervisor I pushed for her to be moved from the company to the Troop Medical Clinic. When SPC Pitt was sent to the Troop Medical Clinic to preform her duties as a mental health specialist C.Co leadership made sure to let the incoming social worker know what their impression of her was. SPC Pitt then worked with Major Ball, who had already been told she was a problem soldier, and was subsequently treated horribly to include having to undergo a mental health evaluation without provocation. SPC Pitt requested on numerous occasions to be moved from C.Co 225 BSB to another company, battalion, or division to get out from underneath the stigma placed on her. These requests were heard by our Company Commander, 1SG, Platoon Leader, Platoon Sergeant, Command Sergeant Major, and even Division Command team but nothing was done. Instead of helping the soldier 1LT Riglick and Major Ball ordered me to counsel her for their perceived insubordination. When I disagreed with these orders it was made clear that my military career was also in jeopardy. I was ordered by 1LT Riglick to counsel SPC Pitt for not properly using her chain of command to which, I informed the command that she had done exactly what procedures are outlined. The result of my not counseling her for this was to have my MEDPROS status changed to non-deployable by 1LT Riglick. This retaliation against me for defending SPC Pitt would have ended my career if I had not already been found deployable and fit for duty by the Medical Review Board in 2008. Despite her outburst which finally concluded her time in C.Co I would still recommend that she be retained by the United States Army. SPC Pitt endured being mistreated for months and still maintained a positive attitude. Her intellectual prowess combined with her willingness to work make her a viable asset. I believe that if SPC Pitt had been able to move to another command away from the toxic leadership of C.Co 225 BSB her military career would have flourished. SGT David Trapolsi

The gross display of militarized force during the recent Boston Marathon catastrophe has gone too far. Our rights as Americans are being gladly traded for what many think is "needed security" in the face of domestic and international terror. From being groped in a security check in the airport to the families that were in a mandated lock down in Boston recently- Americans should never have to look outside of their homes and see thousands of military troops riding around in armored vehicles, brandishing weapons, and telling you that you can't leave your home. We have reached a point where the wants of the government have become incompatible with the freedoms promised to us in our Constitution.
