Stop Croke Park GAA (PACT) Suing Local Community & Handball Centre Members and Families In Dublin...We are asking members and supporters of the GAA. to petition that: “The GAA through PACT immediately cease and take no further legal actions against members of the Community & Handball Centre in St. Josephs Avenue, Dublin 3, and that the GAA / C.L.G. and PACT not interfere in any way with the running of the Centre”. The GAA is an amateur association of members, families, and communities with a stated objective to nurture communities and respect individuals. On 15th March 2012 RTE Prime Time (See YouTube - Croke Park Dispute) revealed that: 1. Pairc An Chrocaigh Teo (‘PACT’) the GAA’s company, in the weeks before Christmas, sued through the committee all members/families (over 400) of the Community & Handball Centre (the ‘Centre’) that the community and handballers built and maintained for 40 years. Many being sued are GAA members. A Croke Park executive acknowledged to RTE a reason Croke Park want to knock the Community Centre is so that they could turn lorries. 2. The Community & Handball Centre is a hugely important facility to the local community. 3. A Dublin City Council committee has condemned the GAA’s company PACT for suing the community. {Our Note: See YouTube - This may be the first time the GAA has been condemned by any local authority committee in the Republic and raises serious questions about GAA policy}. To sue people that have given a lifetime as GAA volunteers is a disgrace – to sue them just before Christmas signals something has gone seriously wrong with our association; who, if anyone, advised Croke Park GAA to do that. The GAA is not allowed to sue its members (GAA Rule 1.9) nor should the GAA use its company, PACT, to sue members. Croke Park GAA has enough property and wealth. Anyone that is part of a community group knows how destructive to people’s lives it becomes when a vested interest seeks to sue and destroy it. All the community request is that PACT enter a legal binding agreement to provide full replacement facilities if they want to knock our Centre. Despite promises Croke Park has not done this. GAA/PACT uses professional advisors. Reddy Charlton Solicitors, 12 Fitzwilliam Place, Dublin 2, is acting for PACT in the legal case against the Community & Handball Centre members.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Croke Park Eye

National Term LimitsOur Founding Fathers probably did not intend for our national legislatures to consist of "professional polititions" If Congressmen were restricted to 4 terms of two years, and if Senators were restricted to 2 terms of six years, they would be less swayed by lobbyists and special interests and would not need to spend as much time and energy getting re-elected.13 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Peppino Lynas

Early voting should be the same in all districts in Ohio.Voters in Republican districts will generally have broader access to early voting than voters in Democratic districts in Ohio. Ohio's Secretary of State, Jon Husted, claims Ohio is "not 7-Eleven and can't stay open 24-7 and let anybody vote by any rule…we have standards" (Laura Ingrham radio show...as quoted on The Rachel Maddow Show 8/10.) This is a sad day for democracy in Ohio. All voters in all districts should have equal access to early voting.448 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Carol Sheffield

Governor Dayton, keep up your good leadership.Governor Mark Dayton has used good sense in how he governs Minnesota. He was a good senator too. He won the race for governor--although he was not endorsed by the Minnesota DFL party--because people think he is a smart, honest, and fair person, and the best leader for the job.3,677 of 4,000 SignaturesCreated by Jean Zamboni

Help Stop Boko HaramIn the past two years, Boko Haram has terrorized innocent and law-abiding Nigerians. They are responsible for attacks on churches, schools, media houses and government buildings including the August 2011 bombing of the UN building in Nigeria's capitol city of Abuja. They have killed more than 1400 men, women, and children, and has hindered freedom of religion. I have several relatives who have become internally displaced, some lost their parents and many their means of livelihood. The Nigerian government has been unable to curb their actions. Help us tell US State Department to declare Boko Haram a Foreign Terrorist Organization which will help cut off its funding sources within and outside Nigeria.139 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Kanayo K Odeluga
