Woman Dies in Riptide, Amagansett 2010. Woman Drowns, East Hampton Village Beach 2012. Off Duty Lifeguard saves man from drowning, Montauk Beach 2012. Most drownings only take a few minutes. The best resource we have for a drowning victim is the closest lifeguard. Why is it that only a select few are notified of water rescues? If safety is our top priority then all town and village employed Lifeguards willing to respond to water rescues should be notified of water rescue near them.

Poor people or those who have debt are being held hostage by faulty credit reports, unfair credit scores and hiring practices which allow discrimination against those who have low credit scores. The reason people apply for jobs is to ensure that they can pay their bills, being unemployed or poor should not limit one's ability to gain employment. Please add economic class or status to the list of Title VII criteria that should not be considered by employers when making hiring decisions. Prospective employers should not be permitted to request credit reports or scores for applicants.

Calling all Arkansans...your Constitutional Rights are in danger! Have you heard about SJR 5, This proposed Constitutional Amendment would take rule-making power from the Arkansas Supreme Court and give it to the Legislature. The separation of our government into 3 branches was done on purpose, but the legislature wants to take back the power given to the courts and gut our justice system.

Deandre Poole Ph.D. is a professor of communications at Florida Atlantic University in Davie and Boca Raton FL. In February 2013 a student was disruptive and then complained to the University when Poole offfered an exercise from a textbook "Intercultural Comunications: A Contextual Approach." In the exercise students wrote the name of Jesus on paper and then were asked to step on it. (The exercise had been used before without incident. When students refused to step on the name, it was a source of fruitful discussion.) In March, after public criticism, the University apologized and said the exercise would not be used again. But a local pastor has called for a protest march and an online campaign to fire Dr Poole. As Dr Poole's friends, we want to tell the University President and the Chancellor of the State University System of Florida that it would be dangerous to bend to such pressure. Please help us protect the separation of church and state, which protects us all.

Being that State elections influence the operation of the Federal government by sending Senators to Washington that vote on Federal Issues, we need immediate accommodation for Federal Voter Photo ID to be mandatory for all State and Federal Elections. Further, with consideration to the severity of the real and potential damage of illegal voting, the act of voting illegally, inclusive of but not limited to, the use of an illegitimate ID for voting, is to be treated as a felony with mandatory incarceration and fines, as well as loss of voting rights for ten years.

Common Core is here/ coming to Connecticut. This dumbing down of standards impacts all of our children. It is a corporate/ government takeover of our education system that removes educational choices at the local level, and enslaves local schools to federal dollars.

The truth, as is so often the case, won't be found easily. It almost unavoidably lies among a thousand shades of grey in a case of great complexity and magnitude. By oversimplifying it and/or turning into an entertainment form, the media and public fail to honor the accused's right to due process Justice for George Zimmerman .

Sign this petition if you are tire of lame politics, especially $10,000 golf trips, Million dollar trips to Paris and London, and taking friends to lunch in other countries on the taxpayer's money.

CPS/CBOE has not complied with the law!

We are a nation with problems. One of these problems lies in the ability of corporations like Monsanto to throw vast sums of money at Congress to bend the law to fit an underhanded scheme. Tell Congress that we have had enough- consumers deserve the right to know if what they are eating contains under-researched GM food substances-- after all, it is your right to know what you put in your body. Label GM foods now!

This Petition is to let teenagers in high schools & teachers use social networks to their learning experiences. 90 percent of teens have a profile on a social networking site. 69 percent of teens have a Facebook account. So why not use their social life & add their learning life into the mix as well? It'd make learning more interesting and fun for the teens, and more interactive.

With all of the thousands of flights that happen every day, animals die. Wouldn't those eggs be better with some fresh fruit than an anemic piece of meat? Certainly humans can go 6 hours or less without eating meat.
