THE FORT LAUDERDALE RAIN TREE IS A NATIONAL TREASURE! In 1987 The Fort Lauderdale City Commission declared the "FORT LAUDERDALE RAIN TREE" PROTECTED" against REMOVAL or DAMAGE. A DEVELOPER WANTS TO BUILD CONDOMINIUMS where the RAIN TREE LIVES and wants to MOVE this tree to a too-small 90' lot next to a warehouse and away from the River. THE DEVELOPER OF "Marina Lofts" will not alter their plans to keep the tree safely ON THE LOT THE RAIN TREE LIVES ON, on the eco-sensitive New River, already home to multiple condominiums - many of which are in foreclosure and whose units are EMPTY. IT IS "Supposed to be" a PROTECTED TREE! The Only Experts who say the Tree will survive a move are the EXPERTS BEING PAID BY THE DEVELOPER and they are THE ONLY ONES WHO SAY THE RAIN TREE CAN SURVIVE on this too small lot. IF THE FORT LAUDERDALE RAIN TREE IS MOVED THE DEVELOPERS OF MARINA LOFTS ENDANGERS ITS EXISTENCE.

Employees and job applicants across Texas have reported being asked by their employer for their social media passwords. Texans looking for a job or who have one should not be required to sacrifice their personal privacy in order to get a job. This is a violation of a person's space and should have no place in employment. Several states including Illinois and California have already passed legislation banning this practice, now it's our turn to do it in Texas. Tell Texas lawmakers to support SB 118 and HB 318, measures that would make this practice illegal.

What do Cuba, Iran, Syria, and Sudan have in common? They are all on the U.S. government’s list of “state sponsors of terrorism”. Which one seems to be the oddball? Cuba? The presence of Cuba on the list of state sponsors of terrorism symbolizes everything that’s wrong with our approach to Cuba. It’s based on a myth (that Cuban sponsors terrorist groups); it reinforces Cold War-era prejudices (that Cuba is an “enemy” who we must isolate and oppose); it helps lock our foreign policy in stone. It prevents the United States from taking sensible steps toward normalizing relations with Cuba.

It has become increasingly clear to the hard working men and women of the United States Postal Service that Postmaster Donahoe has lost confidence and lacks direction. We are calling for his immediate resignation.

The protection of citizens' right to "life" is my paramount concern, as well as their right to due process. In the Book of Acts, we find that even the ancient Romans were reluctant to torture their own citizens (in this case, the Apostle Paul) without a hearing, This petition addresses current U.S. ethical standards as contrasted with those of Imperial Rome, with the hope that this might shame our government into reevaluating its policy.

We have killed too many with guns, but we have killed over 50 million with the blessing of our society. This is an evil comparable to the sin of slavery. We must address this evil for Holocaust that it is.
