i am a parent at dr. tanner g duckrey school and community activist and organizer in north philadelphia. This petition is for the reevaluation vs. school closures. There are gonna be 66 schools in total planning to close by june 2013 and only 37 are being publicly closed and most of them are in north philadelphia. We have been rallying meetings in regards of school closures and demanding a moriitorium which is an extension for further evaluation vs. closures. So far we have the votes from city council of philadelphia for the moritorium so the we are now waiting for School Reform Commisision Board to agree with the moritorium.

Investigate Chase Bank & J.P. Morgan Chase for predatory, illegal and unethical banking practices against it's account holders. Have you been subject too what appears to be a protracted, consistent and calculated manipulation of your account by Chase for it's own gain and profit through calculated manipulation of "pending" charges and fraudulent overdraft fees, and by a systematic processing of debit card transactions not in the order in which customers conducted them but instead from the highest-to-lowest transaction balances; the change allegedly caused customers to drain their accounts quickly and maximized the overdraft fees assessed against them. Goldman Sachs isn’t the only rotten apple on Wall Street. They weren’t alone in defrauding investors and America. JP Morgan Chase, along with other major U.S. banks, have made billions in ‘deceptive fees’ in the form of real-time mobile alerts, ‘selective transaction’ postings and other tactics. For example, Chase’s real-time mobile alerts — until recently — weren’t exactly real-time. Overdraft alerts in the past were always sent the following business day. This feature wasn’t designed with the account holder in mind — only the bank. Another deceptive tactic employed by Chase and other U.S. banks is selective transaction posting. The banks essentially cherry-picked transactions to levy overdraft fees, choosing to post larger purchases first over smaller ones. How’s that for siphoning your money? Of course, Wall Street and the banks will all deny any wrongdoing, but the facts clearly show otherwise. After trillions in taxpayer bailouts, and billions in deceptive fees, it’s time for U.S. banks to have their day in court, too.

In North Carolina, there are 720,000 uninsured adults who would be eligible for Medicaid if the state expanded its Medicaid program. Providing such coverage will help people gain access to the care they need, which can improve health outcomes. In addition, the expansion would add about $1.4 billion to North Carolina's economy and total employment would increase by about 23,000 jobs.

Cannabis agriculture is both unique and essential for resolving climate change. California's Governor must take responsibility for the true essential value of Cannabis. A protocol to implement "essential civilian demand" for "hemp" (Executive Order 13603) must be implemented in time to plant a crop in California this spring.
