• No 2nd chances for Hasani Wesley: To prevent children from boarding schools on highways.
    I am Hasani Wesley's older sister Halima Wesley , I have started this petition for all of the children that have died or got hit trying to go to school. An aware community can make a difference, and save many lives. My brother was a beautiful spirit and he didn't deserve to die because of failure to abide school laws.My brothers murderer has not been charged.... I got all green lights while driving home yesterday... It was as if riding on the highway but I was on highpoint rd in greensboro..which is a busy street. I realized that even if my brother isn't visual he can be my light when I'm driving or the bird in my window that sings when I wake up to all of my responsibilities he is my everything literally, but for the most part he is my Angel. An 11-year-old boy died Wednesday morning after being hit by an SUV while trying to get on a school bus. Hasani Wesley, 11, died after the collision, which happened around 7 a.m. on N.C. 66 near Shaddowfax Drive. N.C. 66 remained closed until around noon. Wesley was trying to get on the bus just a few hundred feet from his home when the collision with the Jeep occurred, troopers said. The bus's lights were on, and the stop arm was out, troopers said. The driver of the Jeep, Billy Roger Bailey, 47, of Kernersville, was coming from the opposite direction, troopers said. Bailey remained at the scene after the crash, troopers said. Bailey told investigators that he simply didn't see the child crossing the road. He was driving the speed limit, and alcohol wasn't a factor in the crash either, troopers said. Wesley normally caught the bus from the right-hand side of the road, but he missed it Wednesday morning, school officials said. The bus driver saw Wesley when coming back through the area and stopped to pick him up, which is legal, school officials said. Wesley was a sixth grader at East Fosyth Middle School, said Theo Helm, spokesman for Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools. Wesley had been taken to Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center after the collision, Helm said.

  • No Cheating! One person, one vote, Period.
    Republicans know that they can't win on their policies so they are trying to cheat their way into power. We can't let them undermine our Democracy. Tell all our elected officials to make no changes to our electoral system in Pennsylvania.

  • Familiarize yourself with The One People's Public Trust
    Corporations posing as governments all over the world were put on notice to cease and desist their treasonous actions in 2012. The necessary documents to do this were filed in the UCC and in due course unrebutted. This means they have been foreclosed on and are now the property of the People, assets included. Business as usual is forever changed in the people's favor.

  • Say No to Bank of America in Hartford
    Bank of America has far more foreclosures pending against Hartford homeowners than any other bank because of their own bad business practices, and because other companies hire them to evict hard working families. They also makes a practice of foreclosing on homes in inner cities while preserving suburban homes. It is not right to let a company that is so aggressive and hostile to the people of Hartford continue to provide services. Hartford City Council will vote on Wednesday, February 13th to decide whether or not to renew the contract with Bank of America to provide the city's primary banking services.

  • Veterans who have served 20 yrs or more should receive 100% of their pay in retirement
    My two brothers are veterans, one 20+ years. This has affected him and his family. As a result, he continued to work other jobs to have a decent standard of living. After three tours of Viet Nam and receiving a Purple Heart for bravery, you would think that America would be more supportive and appreciative of his valor for his country.
