The legislature of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is considering multiple bills that would alter how Electoral College votes are distributed to Presidential Candidates. The people of the Commonwealth deserve to have their vote preserved by the current way votes are distributed.

San Francisco has a unique treasure - an 80-acre cloud forest only 1000 feet above sea level, in the heart of the city. Now the public university, University of California, San Francisco - one of the world's leading medical schools - plans to destroy 30,000 trees and the whole cloud forest ecosystem. [UPDATE 2017: UCSF has issued another Plan in which it revises its estimate for the number of trees in the forest from around 45,000 to... around 13,000. But it still plans to cut down over half of them, around 6-7,000 trees. See this link: https://sutroforest.com/2017/02/23/how-many-trees-in-sutro-forest-and-what-will-be-left/]

This petition is for the protection of or nations future, the youth. Since Columbine shooting in 2001 our government had failed miserably to deter in school shootings. Now that the Sandy Hook massacre has occur states are taking law enforcement off the streets and into the schools, leaving everything else vulnerable to attacks. What's worse is that police are trained to arrest. Now students are being charged with felonies for fighting in school which often happens. What I am proposing is that we use privatized armed security in schools as well as movie theaters as a deterrent to armed shooters. The shooters only attack places where firearms are not allowed and frankly president Obama you cannot take every him off of the street.

I am one of a number of former Federal Investigators and Federal Judges that have made whistle blower allegations or alleged Prohibited Personnel violations against the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's management and executive management. The long list of allegations includes targeting companies, accepting bribes, harassment, retaliation, destroying federal records in an attempt to obstruct justice, Prohibited Personnel Violations, the passing over qualified veterans for hiring in violation of federal law, collusion with the union to obstruct and cover-up whistle blower allegations. For those who might think that this is a joke or not a mattter which concerns them, I am attaching links to recent cases which illustrate the fabrication of evidence and target which the Commission has committed against private employers, complaints or some of its employees and payments of tax dollars which are being made for these wrongful lawsuits. I have also attached a copy of my last contact with the EEOC's office of Inspector General --in it he refuses to conduct an investigation of criminal conduct on the part of Executive Level Employees after two years of complaints in their regard. http://blog.personnelconcepts.com/2012/08/eeoc-loses-frivolous-lawsuit-pay-140k-attorneys-fees/ http://blog.personnelconcepts.com/2012/06/firm-turns-tables-eeoc-wins-750k-judgment-wrongful-lawsuit/ http://wiley-law.com/?p=526 http://cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/opinions/2012/07/30/10-55866.pdf http://ricohenry7.wordpress.com/2011/04/10/eeoc-chair-jacqueline-berrien-letter-from-naacp-on-her-performance/ http://ricohenry7.wordpress.com/2011/03/29/us-attorney-seals-lawsuit-to-protect-fraud-at-eeoc/ Commissioners, How is this at all fair...the Inspector General of the EEOC maintains that if there were criminal violations within the agency by its highest ranking officials and even if it is found that an employee was wrongly dismissed in retaliation for being a whitsle blower...he refuses to pursue the matter...he complains that to pursue or investigate the matter would have to be weighed against "the office's investment of resources". The whitlsle blower has hounded the agency for two years to investigate the matter and was put off until several people who were involved were allowed to retire and now is being told that it might be difficult to investigate since many of those involved have retired. I have provided his office with transcripts of the officials acknowledging the the criminal behavior under sworn oath. How much investment would it take to read the documents and questions the officials involved. ----- Forwarded Message ---- From: INSPECTOR GENERAL To: XXXXXXXX Sent: Fri, February 1, 2013 8:21:22 AM Subject: Re: FOIA & Inspector General's Request - Dr. Brian K. Mitchell Mr. Mitchell, I have completed a review of your complaint. I completely understand your complaint and can empathize with your situation. However, you are wrong to assume there is an investigation of your complaint. That decision has not been made! The issue does fall under the authority of the EEOC Office of Inspector General. Before we conduct any investigation we must weigh our investment of resources against the most likely outcome of any investigation. Other issues to consider is the time lapse in your complaint and the fact that some of those people named in your complaint no longer work for the Agency. Your allegation that the agency has destroyed federal records, as it relates to your application for a position with the Agency and the certification list associated with that application, is clearly stated in your complaint. At this time, I see no point in conducting an interview with you. You must also understand, that no matter if we conduct an investigation or not, nothing can be done to resolve your dissatisfaction with the Agency or to restore you to a position within the Agency. I assure you all consideration is being given to your complaint. Thank you for contacting the Office of Inspector General.

Let's delay fracking in New York State! Gas companies are not declaring what chemicals and dangers thereof being used in hydo-fracking process. Many of my associates are extremely opposed to such a process due to the above reasoning. Think about New York State and the horrors of chemical spills into our water supply. Your dad would not appove if you were to sanction hydro-fracking!!

This will be a petition in favor and support of a ban against all private ownerships of all military type assault guns firearms in america-usa.

Repealing the Government Pension Offset (GPO) and Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP). I have worked 27 years in the Social Security System and am approaching 20 years in the OPERS System. Upon retiring I find that I will be penalized in the Social Security System and not allowed to draw my full benefit that I worked and pain into. Furthermore I will be penalized by 2/3 if I choose to draw on my deceased Husband 's benefit, who worked and paid into the system for over 40 years. Because I have been the supportive spouse and worked for a low wage, just worked so we could provide a college education for our children, my pension will be cut substantially and I hope not at poverty level. For years now there have been Senate and House bills introduced to repeal this law but they never make it to the floor to be voted on, simply because of the battle over Social Security. This law is unfair and should be repealed. Ohio is one of eight states with that law. Many others will be affected and don't realize it. To name a few, Teachers who have spouses that work in Social Security, Public Servant workers with spoused in the Social Security. This law should be brought to the floor of both the House and Senate and repealed.

OK, hunters and others who like guns, at least let's curb the unnecessary assault weapons from public use in order to protect our children.

I am asking that we have mandatory water testing of wells prior to connection to a home. In Oregon people have no protection under the clean water act if you are servicing under 10 people. Houses are rented while landlords are pulling water from streams. With the ground water and surfice water contamination and the natural high minerals that can cause health issues, we need to test before pumping contaminates into homes. My daughter and our family moved into my elderly parents home. They received a low income housing rehabilitation loan. the driller was in and out in a day, no flushing or tests. The water was so filthy you could not see your legs in a bathtub. My youngest began to experience stomich pains and gas. She contracted 3 protozoa. The health Dept tested water positive for total coliform. Thats where the walls came up. The regulating body for well construction OR Water Resource refused to hold contractor to the laws, EPA and DEQ had no authority nor seemed to care. We need protection under the law because without potable water, your home is a danger to your family. No one is watching the safety of the water.

Remember the movie with Jimmy Stewart where he filibustered for days trying to get the vote. Well Senators don't do that any more. They don't even have to be present to stop a bill. We the People need to know who is against what and Why...... It is time we require congress to explain who is holding up a bill and WHY... How can be be informed if the system is completely secret. Please join me in helping congress explain thier position. This is very under cover operation. Its time we open the door to see who is doing what and why.
