UPDATE: This Petition was started a few years ago after a fatal accident on Highway M in Barnhart, Missouri. That particular accident involved a mother of a student killed after dropping her son off for the day. At that time, the petition was setup, news channels were contacted and many communications were had over the following months with MoDot official, Judy Wagner. The request was submitted to Install traffic lights at Hwy M /St Lukes Church Rd and Hwy M / Moss Hollow Road AND DENIED AT THE TIME WITH MANY REASONS WHY THEY WOULD NOT DO THIS, the main reason given was that the install of traffic lights would cost too much at around $1 million. NOW THE J-TURN project is estimated to cost $1 million. Also stated that stop lights do not work. ROCKPORT School has a stoplight in front of their school as do many other emergency houses in the area that just have flashing lights during the day and become operational during PRIME HOURS needed such as morning and evening rush hours for school and those leaving for and coming home from work. The emergency houses would also have access to have the lights operate when they are in need to leave for emergencies. There are First Responder Houses (Antonia Fire Protection District and Rock Township Ambulance District House 4) as well as Antonia Middle School at those intersections. This results in a large number of school buses and families with children being forced to pull out onto Hwy M, crossing multiple lanes of traffic. These intersections absent of traffic lights with the factor of high speeds by drivers has proven to be hazardous AND CONTINUES TO BE HAZARDOUS TWO YEARS LATER WITH NO CHANGES BY LEGISLATURE AND MODOT. The amount of accidents due to high-speed and excessive traffic on Hwy M is becoming more frequent at both of these intersections, resulting in fatalities and injuries. First Responders were involved while attempting to respond to a call, resulting in injuries and delay for those needing the fire department. There are a number of families in both of these areas that send their children on school buses that are given no other option than to merge across a four-lane highway to transport the children to and from school. At Moss Hollow and Highway M, the traffic coming and going has increased now that the new Estates at Moss Hollow is complete and close to 100 new families moved into the area. (ADDING MINIMUM 100 NEW DRIVERS DAILY). There are MANY kids approaching the driving age so new drivers will be embarking on those intersections as well. Let's take safety into consideration and push Jefferson County to install traffic lights and NOT the proposed J turns AT BOTH INTERSECTIONS for the residents of Barnhart AND SLOW DOWN THE SPEED LIMIT IN A SCHOOL ZONE. As of June 2019 I was informed by Judy Wagner that the proposed construction review was being added to the “ Statewide Transportation Improvement Plan for review.” She informed me that in December 2019 they had met with families in Williamsburg to address this issue and I wa stood other affected subdivisions, including Fountains would be contacted in Spring 2020 to have community forum... I can only assume due to COVID that didn’t happen. CONSIDERATION NEEDS TO BE TAKEN FOR ADDITIONAL RESIDENTS AT MOSS HOLLOW AND THE CONTINUED POSSIBILITY OF GROWTH ON THE ANTONIA CAMPUS, FUTURE ADDITION OF NEW ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, INCREASING TRAFFIC ON ST LUKES CHURCH ROAD SIGNIFICANTLY SO THIS WARRANTS MAKING CHANGES TO INTERSECTIONS AND LOWERING SPEEDS ALONG HIGHWAY M FOR THE SAFETY OF EVERYONE AND OUR CHILDREN. J turns will greatly affect emergency crews, residents and school bus transportation. THIS PETITION WILL ONCE AGAIN BE SHARED WHEN SIGNED AFTER A FEW WEEKS IN HOPES OF EXPRESSING CONCERN AS A COMMUNITY AND GETTING SOMETHING DONE SOONER THAN TWO YEARS FROM NOW. I HAVE UPDATED TO INCLUDE NEW MODOT AND COMMITTEE CONTACTS.

The White House just released a budget proposal that would eliminate funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), which supports the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS). We can’t let this happen.  For 50 years, Americans have turned to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting for local news, quality educational programming, and independent journalism without corporate or political influence, no matter where they live. In rural communities with few or no free broadcasting options, the CPB is a critical lifeline for information.  The Corporation for Public Broadcasting relies almost entirely on the federal government for its funding. It’s one of the last remaining U.S. media groups that is insulated from commercial or political pressure -- and in today’s fragmented news landscape, the independent voices it supports are more valuable than ever.  The threat is real: We’ve seen profit-driven outlets cozy up to Donald Trump to boost ratings and ad revenues.  Last year, the president of CBS defended wall-to-wall coverage of Trump, saying that “it may not be good for America, but it's damn good for CBS” -- because “the money’s rolling in.” NBC refused to part ways with Trump as executive producer of its reality show The Celebrity Apprentice. And CNN continues to try to appeal to Trump by hiring his former campaign officials.  Over the next six weeks, Congress will consider Trump’s request to cut the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and legislators will release their own budget proposal. We can’t afford to lose the unique voices and perspectives that PBS and hundreds of local stations across the country contribute to our public debate -- and it’s time to make sure our representatives know it.  Take action now: Don’t let Trump wipe out public broadcasting!

Our kids deserve a safe, toxin free school environment. Families of MPS students recently received a General Pesticide Use Notice informing of ongoing pesticide use at their children's schools. Join your neighbors by signing today! Show your support of Superintendent, Ed Graff and Environmental Health and Safety Manager, Lee Setter in adopting healthier policies and implementing safer practices, by replacing toxic pesticides with non-toxic and mechanical pest control methods.

There are no major airports named after women in the United States nor has Eleanor Roosevelt gotten the recognition she deserves for her leadership on many issues.

From gun violence to universal healthcare, no field of endeavor or conflict in this country is untouched by the legacy of racism manifest by our American destiny. Despite scholarly and established work to the contrary, CDC cries "No evidence-based best practices to address it" as an excuse not to do their job, so the people must demand it. I have seen the stress of loss of privilege, the minute daily drips of intangible "microaggressions" and the gaping wounds of bullets; I took an oath and DO NO HARM is not enough. We're also on Twitter and would ask folks to tweet Trevor Noah and other prominent folks who "have the mic"! @Right2healthNow

PETITION PURPOSE: Missing is missing...their age should not matter because "Love has no age limit and neither should the law". Please sign and tell Congress to "require police to take reports of missing adults whenever the adult is reported to be missing; to make the "LaMont Dottin Law" for missing adults, a national law and requirement. (New York S6437 - passed 2016) . Why have an age restriction at all when everyone is somebody's loved one? Reporting requirements for loved ones must extend to all U. S. citizens regardless of age, specifically, adults between ages 21 to 64 who are inadequately protected under the current missing persons laws. The age restriction results in adult loved ones being unreported, lost and "off the grid", held against their will, murdered, or worst, buried in state's Potter's field without family notification. When is it moral or ethical to protect one group of people while neglecting another based on age? NEVER!!! Please help change how missing person cases are handled across the nation. Your signature will give families hope and encouragement to never give up. This has been my fight for the past 30 years when my 19 years old son, LaMont Dottin, a freshman at Queens College, disappeared on October 16, 1995, on his way to mail a package. LaMont’s body was found floating in the East Hudson River 6 days after he went missing, held in the city morgue for four months, and later buried in a pauper’s grave in Potter’s Field for fours years. But, this was not known to me as I searched years alone...refusing to give up. Families must be allowed to report adult loved ones, between ages 22-63, when they go missing. I am not the only one. Research shows that families across the nation are still being denied the right to report adult loved ones as missing and are still searching...alone. According to the national law 34 USC 41307(a) a search or investigation will only be launched for ages 21 or under. Again, we ask, why have an age restriction at all when everyone is somebody's loved one?   Please sign as the unreported or “The Missing Missing," (persons not reported) are at higher risk of exploitation than a person who is reported missing. Under current law, the police have no way of tracking the person to their family, as they are not listed in any formal missing database.  BACKGROUND CASES:  CASE 1: Your support can result in immediate search and rescue and eliminates valuable time wasted as in the case of Sierra Shields who went missing January 14, 2016 from LaGuardia Airport, New York. "We The People" along with the Shields' Family believe "it is imperative that the LaMont Dottin Law is passed on a national platform"...as recently signed into law in New York. "It took almost two days for the NYPD to take my sister's case. Two days of begging them to understand something wasn’t right. Two days of pleading with them to do something to help. And now my sister is gone. My sister, who loved to laugh and breathed life into the world around her, is no longer here. My sister, who loved people with not just words but with actions, is no longer alive. I grieve, I hurt, I ache and I don’t want anyone to ever feel the pain my family now endures. I wish the police would have taken action sooner. If we didn’t have to beg and plead and begin our own grassroots effort maybe the circumstances would be different. But the circumstances aren’t different and my sister is still gone. When someone goes missing time is of the essence and every moment that goes by feels endless. I cannot express with words the utter pain and anguish I feel for the loss of my dear sweet sister. The LaMont Dottin Law gives me hope that other families will not suffer such a horrific loss. The LaMont Dottin Law empowers families and ensures adult missing person cases will be taken seriously and investigated in a timely manner. I have to wonder if the LaMont Dottin Law was in effect on January 15, 2016, would my sister be alive today? Joy Shields CASE 2: Your support will also help closed the gap when adults go missing as in the case of Unique Harris. " On October 9, 2010, two young boys woke up alone. Their mother, 24-year-old Unique Harris, was gone. Unique was last seen on Saturday, October 9, 2010, wearing a white shirt, gray pants, and a sterling silver necklace that was secured with a safety pin at the clasp in the 2400 block of Hartford Street, SE., Washington, D.C.. Since her disappearance, Unique's mother, Valencia Harris, has been looking for her tirelessly with little or no help. She wants her daughter to know that her mother is looking for her and won't give up." "I will look for her with the last breathe in my body." (Copyright 2017 WWBT NBC12. All rights reserved) *The missing are also at higher risk of becoming a victim of murder or human trafficking…$36M plus business.   THANK YOU

Judge Benjamin Smith has caused irreparable damage through his abuse of power & manipulation of civil & criminal law. In our case, a single mother & sole provider of her child for 4 years lost custody after being set up & accused of a crime to which she hadn’t been proven guilty. During the court hearing, an exparte communication was made in the Judge’s chambers giving custody to the paternal grandparents & no testimony or evidence to the family’s ignobility or precarious lifestyle allowed. However, any testimony that could be used to decimate the maternal family’s character was welcomed. The maternal grandmother’s testimony was completely suppressed, all evidence refused & witness refused. Custody was first given to paternal grandparents, who were absent from the child's life since birth, & per the Texas Family Code had no legal standing to intervene in the custody dispute. The Petition for Intervention filed by the maternal grandmother was abandoned completely. Judge Smith gave full power & authority over the child to the paternal grandparents, including the right to decide the estranged father’s eligibility for visitation. Although the child's father owed more than $12,000 in back child support, he was not ordered to pay, however, the mother was ordered to pay support to the paternal grandparents. The Judge supported this decision through the complete suppression of opposing testimony, evidentiary support, & disregard for Texas Law. Following the hearing, the child’s mother’s attorney set a reconsideration hearing. During that hearing, without the mother present, the attorneys agreed & allowed the Judge to change temporary custody to the estranged father, although he was clearly proven unfit in the hearing, admitted to having 3 children over the past 5 years he didn’t visit/support & had only lived in Collin County 2 weeks breaking the law of required legal standing. Since that time, the child’s father/paternal family have been allowed to move the child out of state to an undisclosed location, changing phone numbers & blocking all social media profiles giving the child’s mother/maternal family no access to him for now 6 years. The last time the mother/maternal family saw the child was March 2015 only for 15 minutes while videotaped by the paternal grandmother Marguerite Alba who used her legal ties & legal assistant position with the Dallas Law Firm who represented her to, per witness testimony, “destroy” the child’s mother. Since the father has had custody, he abandoned the child at least 5 times, moved him 9 times, changing schools at least 8 times. It has been 6 years since the mother/maternal family have seen this child. Though the mother wrote letters to the Judge advising him that the paternal family would not communicate with her, & refused visitation, he did nothing. The mother is young, can’t afford an attorney, & even if she could, she would have no chance because the Judge & defendants are acquaintances outside the Court. All attorneys called refused to take a case in this Judge’s Court due to his “manipulation of the Law,” & Legal Services refuses to help as the long-arm of this Judge has reached the as well. We have heard so many stories of civil rights violations by this Judge with other families. Please help us send a message to this Judge that his illegal, unethical, bias, partial rulings will no longer be tolerated. If your rights have been violated by this Judge please contact us at https://www.facebook.com/injusticeincollincounty. Please sign & share our other petition to impeach Judge Emily Miskel at https://sign.moveon.org/petitions/please-sign-to-impeach-2. The law provides strict policies governing Texas Judges by way of the Texas Code of Judicial Conduct. Texas law upholds that “our legal system is based on the principle that an independent, fair & competent judiciary will interpret & apply the laws that govern us.” It is required that a Judge should act as an arbitrator of "facts & law" to resolve disputes fairly only after allowing parties their right to testimony without showing bias or partiality "under the rule of law" while "establishing & maintaining high standards of judicial & personal conduct.” Canon 2A "admonishes Judges to conduct themselves in a manner to promote public confidence." Canon 2B states: "He (a judge) should not lend the prestige of his office to advance the private interests of others." Canon 3A(2) "admonishes judges to be unswayed by partisan interests." Canon 3B(5) states “a judge shall perform judicial duties without bias or prejudice.” Canon 3B(7) states “a judge shall require lawyers in proceedings before the court to refrain from manifesting, by words or conduct, bias or prejudice based on race, sex, religion, national origin, disability, age, sexual orientation or socioeconomic status against parties, witnesses, counsel or others.” Canon 3B(8) states “a judge shall accord to every person who has a legal interest in a proceeding, or that person's lawyer, the right to be heard according to law. A judge shall not initiate, permit, OR CONSIDER EXPARTE COMMUNICATIONS or other communications made to the judge outside the presence of the parties between the judge & a party, an attorney, a guardian or attorney ad litem, an alternative dispute resolution neutral, or any other court appointee concerning the merits of a pending or impending judicial proceeding.” Texas Constitution Article 15 entitled “Impeachment” states "any judge of the District Courts of the State who is incompetent to discharge the duties of his office, or who shall be guilty of partiality, or oppression, or other official misconduct, or whose habits & conduct are such as to render him unfit to hold such office, or who shall negligently fail to perform his duties as judge; or who shall fail to execute in a reasonable measure the business in his courts, may be removed by the Supreme Court."

Shrimp has caused the decline of sea turtles globally and mangrove forest destruction for shrimp farms. Shrimp has long been associated with ecological destruction from trawlers clear cutting the ocean bottom and killing sea turtles, and the destruction of mangrove for shrimp farms. Shrimp also has a darker side, with thousands of workers enslaved in brutal conditions so consumers can enjoy cheap, all you can eat shrimp.  With 90% of shrimp imported, these products are killing American fisheries, which are better regulated and managed. Consumers of "Endless shrimp" and larger shrimp promoted by America's largest seafood chain are complicit in human and environmental crime. The lack of ethical consumption promoted by Red Lobster is heinous and promotes slavery and environmental destruction. Boycott Red Lobster until all unsustainable and unethical shrimp are removed from the menu.

Whereas scientific studies associate exposure to pesticides with health risks to infants, children, pregnant women, and the elderly; Whereas pesticides are harmful to pets, wildlife, beneficial insects (including bees, currently at great risk from colony collapse disorder), and natural ecosystems; and Whereas, toxic runoff from pesticides and chemical fertilizers pollutes lakes, rivers and drinking water sources: We, the undersigned, call upon the Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board to enact a policy to entirely eliminate the use of pesticides and synthetic fertilizers on all park-owned and park-leased properties, including all land and all bodies of water under MPRB control, in order to protect the public and promote a healthy, sustainable environment; and we call upon the Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board to implement a pesticide-free management policy on all park-owned and park-leased properties.

I firmly believe Oklahoma is about to execute an innocent man unless Richard Glossip is granted a 60 day reprieve. Richard Glossip was convicted on the testimony of his coworker, Justin Sneed. Sneed confessed to the murder and avoided the death penalty himself by implicating Richard. The prosecution committed grave errors by withholding and destroying evidence during Richard's trial and key witnesses lied under oath. After years of inadequate legal defense, Richard now has some of the best death penalty lawyers working pro bono on his case, and his lawyers just uncovered damning new information, including that Sneed bragged about setting Richard up. Two independent investigations have found that Richard Glossip’s conviction for the tragic killing of Barry Van Treese is unreliable. Oklahoma’s Attorney General, a pro-death penalty Republican, has appealed to have the conviction vacated and is taking that appeal to the Supreme Court while many Oklahoma legislators who are pro-death penalty have urged that Richard's conviction be thrown out. Richard’s new lawyers need a 60 day reprieve to prove their client's innocence, and Gov. Kevin Stitt has the authority to stop the execution.
