The City has posted tree removal permits on DOZENS of beautiful, healthy, NATIVE trees, including twenty-one redwoods, many of them multiple feet across and many stories tall, as part of a so-called 'restoration' project. Public comment is urgently needed to save them.

A GREAT idea for the remainder of the Campaign would be for Obama to have a Press meeting to say that he is pulling the rest of his political ads and plans on donating the funds to help the Recovery effort for Sandy. This would speak loudly, make him look fabulous, get him more votes than the ads and help the relief effort. People get tired of the campaign bashing. I think he could really shine.

79 healthy trees in Dimond Park, including many mature redwoods, have been tagged for removal by the city of Oakland. Please help save these trees.

The United States was created on the basis that all its citizens are equal before the law. Congress has voted themselves benefits for life, including pensions and health care, which destroys this notion of equality. This petition would lead to an amendment to the United States Constitution, that would if enacted, end this gross injustice to the welfare of the citizens of the United States of America. The only way to stop this abuse is by Grass Roots uprising in the form of petition to our Senators and Representatives of Congress.

Mitt Romney is running false advertisements in Ohio alleging that Chrysler is planning to move its Jeep plant to China. Radio and TV stations in Ohio need to stop playing Mitt Romney's factually incorrect advertisements.

I am concerned that holding the election on its current date will disenfranchise millions of voters on the Eastern Seaboard who have been affected by Hurricane Sandy. Transportation is at a standstill in one of the most populous cities in the US, and thousands of homes and businesses are flooded in the wake of the hurricane.

This petition is to add more math 104A classes to CSULA.

I have had issues with depression when I first started college and began involving friends and staff but felt that, although they had the best intentions, tried to help in ways that made matters worse for the both of us. A group of us would like to see a policy implemented that requirs colleges and universities to include, in their curriculum, education on mental health awareness as a prevention tool for students and staff. There are counselors available and that is wonderful but peers and staff can help even more by knowing what to do and what not to do when faced with a frien, peer, or student that is showing signs of mental illness especially depression. Saying or doing the wrong thing can make matters much worse.

Every four years the major media outlets have declared the winners in Federal elections before the polls in California, Alaska and Hawaii close. The votes in those states are marginalized by the already declared winner. There should be a election law that Major Media Outlets are prohibited from making any national projection until the polls in these western states are closed. They can report present, official vote totals when that individual state poll closes, but no national projection on the next President of the United States. (or lessor federal office)

Women have a difficult time breathing in mid to late stages of pregnancy. During my pregnancy there were times, day and night, that I had to stop and rest on a stranger's car while walking through the parking lot of a business. I think that there should be designated expectant mom parking near the entrance of all businesses so that a pregnancy is not put at risk due to symptoms brought on by long distance walking.

Friends, it is time to hold politicians accountable for their actions. We recently invited Jeff Flake to speak to our community and he completely ignored us. As undocumented youth, we are tired of being played as a political football. Flake went on a Spanish news paper recently saying he will vote yes on the DREAM Act. HOWEVER, when he had the chance in 2010 as a House Rep. he voted NO! Tell Flake to stop the lies, stop flip flopping and stop playing with our lives.

I am Adonis Flores, a student leader at Wayne State University, and public relations director of my fraternity. I have lived in the United States since I was brought to Detroit by my parents as a child. I've been an active advocate for the DREAM Act, a spokesperson regarding the issues affecting students, and have organized forums on the issue for everyone from students to union members. Recently, I've been active organizing students to support DREAM Relief and voter registration efforts. Secretary of State Ruth Johnson just announced she's denying drivers licenses to young immigrants who have been allowed to stay under a recent action by the Obama Administration. So I'm calling on Ruth Johnson to give drivers licenses to DREAMers, because it's not right to tell us we can work but we can't drive.
