Hi everyone who wants to preserve the trees and wilderness in Glen Canyon: Rec & Park is planning to remove the first 60 to 70 trees soon and has already posted 30 day notices, so the clock is ticking, with tree removal to begin after October 15th. This is just the start of the Rec & Park tree removal projects that will likely cut 300 to 400 trees to permanently mar the character of Glen Canyon Park while continuing to waste limited RPD funds. For more information about what is going on in Glen Canyon, please visit: sfglencanyon.net What you can do now: **PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION **COME TO THE SFFOREST COMMUNITY MEETING: Saturday, October 6th, 3pm at the Recreation Center in Glen Canyon Park -- 70 Elk Street. **CONTACT: Rec & Parks Commission: [email protected], Supervisor Scott Wiener: [email protected] and the Mayor: [email protected] **GET INVOLVED and let others know If you would like to help with the effort to stop the deforestation of Glen Canyon Park or Mount Davidson, please contact the San Francisco Forest Alliance: website: sfforest.net facebook: http://www.facebook.com/ForestAlliance Thank you for helping!

On September 15, at approximately 7:00 a.m., Twitter suspended the account of Repeal Citizens United (http:/twitter.com/simplelaw1) for "sending multiple unsolicited messages" to approximately 20 persons who had previously and voluntarily chosen to follow that account or retweet those messages.

The Supreme Court's "Citizens United" decision has created a "buy the election" situation across the country. We need to reverse this decision by legislation in Connecticut.

I have noticed the increasing amount of republican lawmakers and who have felt the need to suppress the vote or outright try to make unsubstantiated claims to get President Obama off the ballet. I think this is unamerican and veiled racism. If Mitt is so presidential and worried about the people of this country then he needs to stand up to this fringe of his party.

If there is no paper trail how can the vote be verified?

The lockout leaves many team employees jobless and hurts surrounding businesses. The NHL forgets the 'little people' whose livelihoods are impacted by a lockout.

This petition is about fairness, accountability and the democratic process. I call on the North Carolina Democratic and Republican Parties to change the way they elect their leaders to allow all registered party members to vote on who represents them. A political party that does not elect its leaders by popular vote has no legitimacy.

Shame on the General Assembly and the courts for agreeing to the blatantly biased redistricting of Missouri. Jackson county has had a teardrop shape carved out of it to go into the rural 6th district, meanwhile the rest of Jackson county is in the 5th district with Ray, Lafayette and Saline counties. Urban and rural populations with dissimilar interests. Over in St. Louis, the districts with 2 incumbent Democrats were merged into one, so that will make for one less Democrat in Congress. Clearly the plan in redistricting was not to serve Missourians, but to decrease the number of Democrats who can win their district and serve in the US Congress. This should never have been approved. It is clearly politically motivated and politically drawn to serve one party. It's too late for the 2012 election, but not too late to say "Shame on the Missouri General Assembly."

We need to make sure votes are counted fairly with a paper trail. We cannot trust the voting machines.

On Friday, our junior Senator declared that he is "crystal clear" that he will not vote to extend middle class tax cuts for those making less than $250,000 -- unless the wealthiest 2% get their own tax cut extension as well. This even though the average Bay Stater only makes about $65,000. He claims it's because he's not just looking out for millionaires and billionaires, but for small business owners, too. But only 3% of small business owners earn over $250,000 and would benefit from this tax break. I am a small business owner, who, like the vast majority of small business owners, makes less than $250,000. Small business owners and the middle class need the tax break extension proposed by the Democrats. And we all need the wealthy to pay their fair share so our schools, roads, and other common goods can be funded. Join me in telling Scott Brown to start looking out for working folks, not just the richest 2%.

The State of Kentucky needs to either stop using electronic voting machines or immediately adapt them to a process that generates a paper record of each vote when the vote is cast. There may not be a problem with the machines at this time, but if a problem does occur, there needs to be a more accountable method for verifying which ballots were cast. By not having a paper record of votes cast, in a case of recount or trouble with the machines, the vote may become subject to question.
