Wild Wings Cafe still uses "Chernobyl" to describe a sauce type and how hot it is. The Chernobyl disaster should not be remembered in this way. I am asking that the name be removed from the Wild Wings menu.

Torrence-Lytle High School in Huntersville, NC was build tin 1937, had only one principal, Isaac T. Graham and one librarian, Esther S. Johnson. In 1966, the only school for blacks in the northern end of Mecklenburg County was closed. Today it has the designation of a historic landmark but some buildings may be slated for demolition because refurbishing them will cost millions. Several companies have created plans to buy the site but none were successful. We're seeking individuals who believe that this site should be saved and brought back to its original character where individuals of all nationalities can walk the sacred halls of my Alma mater.

The Massachusetts Southcoast cities of Fall River, New Bedford, and Taunton are the only eastern Massachusetts cities not served by the MBTA. Consistently, the Massachusetts Southcoast has higher unemployment than the rest of Massachusetts and remains in a recession long after the rest of Massachusetts recovers. Economic recovery in the communities of the Southcoast require passenger rail service. Recently, the MBTA heralded a passenger rail link through Providence to South Kingston in Rhode Island. The Massachusetts Southcoast should be linked to Boston via the MBTA.

We need to protect our water shed from pollution and corporations

The City of Gainesville, GA, Hall County, and the entire State of Georgia are considering passing breed-specific legislation concerning pitbulls in our area. For many residents, this may mean having a ban put on a beloved member of the family and possibly having to choose between killing their loved one or becoming an outlaw. Please let the members of the Gainesville City council and the Hall County Commissioners know that this isn't fair by signing this petition.

Karl Menninger said an accurate diagnosis can greatly enhance a cure. We need a cure, but few are suggesting the diagnosis. We all are greedy beyond bounds. The crime of hoarding is not a crime until you are caught. The crime of huge bonuses, unseemly pensions, fraudulent practices leading to personal ruin are rampant. A beginning would be a combination of Bill Daley and Warren Buffett's amendments---a four-year term limit for representatives,period, and then to receive social security and medicare as a benefit, no consulting or working for corporations with which you wrote legislation. The income tax code would be rewritten to reflect a concern for the human infrastructure and the communal infrastructure.

Oregonians deserve true representation of their needs by all the legislators they elect to the Oregon Legislature. Eighteen Oregon Republican Representatives and Senators are associates of the powerful and secretive American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) which claims to be a nonpartisan charity yet lobbies for the interests of large corporations rather than the public interests of Oregon citizens who elected them to office. The subterfuge under which ALEC operates has been challenged by Common Cause, which filed a complaint in April with the IRS, charging that ALEC is a lobbyist organization rather than a charity and misuses charity laws, extensively under-reports lobbying, and improperly obtains tax breaks for political donations by ALEC’s corporate funders to state candidates, ballot measures, leadership, and other political committees, funneling millions of dollars into Oregon in order to skew the Oregon political process. The ALEC agenda seeks to remove federal and state environmental regulations, repeal the federal health care reform law, dump state minimum wage laws, and bust unions. What the ALEC agenda does espouse is taxpayer support of public subsidies for private schools, privatization of prisons/detention centers coupled with support for Draconian immigration laws to provide profits for the private corrections industry, and restrictions on voting rights which discriminately disenfranchise people of color, senior citizens, students, and the poor. Oregonians have the right to expect that their interests will be served by their elected officials without the interference of undue monetary and philosophical influence of out-of-state mega-corporations. The following Oregon elected officials who hold current ALEC affiliations have been identified using three resources: Oregon’s campaign finance database ORESTAR, The Oregonian, and analysis by the Center for Media and Democracy at ALEC Exposed (http://alecexposed.org/wiki/ALEC_Exposed). (Those legislators who contact this petition framer to report that they are not current associates of ALEC will be removed from this list. Updated as of November 17, 2012.): Oregon Senator Larry George, R-Sherwood Oregon Senator Fred Girod, R-Stayton Oregon Senator Ted Ferrioli, R-John Day Oregon Representative Sal Esquivel, R-Medford Oregon Representative Tim Freeman, R-Roseburg Oregon Representative Kim Thatcher, R-Keizer Oregon Representative Gene Whisnant, R-Sunriver Oregon Representative Bruce Hanna, R-Roseburg Oregon Representative Jason Conger, R-Bend Oregon Representative Mark Johnson, R-Hood River Oregon Representative Dennis Richardson, R-Central Point Oregon Representative Sherrie Sprenger, R-Scio Oregon Representative Jim Thompson, R-Dallas Oregon Representative Kevin Cameron, R-Salem Oregon Representative Wally Hicks, R-Grants Pass Oregon Representative John Huffman, R-The Dalles Oregon Representative Bill Kennemer, R-Oregon City Oregon Representative Mike McLane, R-Powell Butte

For eight years, senior officials within the George W. Bush administration had knowingly and wilfully commmitted crimes against humanity. They have violated the U.S. Constitution and the Geneva Convention Accords by lying the U.S. government into war with Iraq, allowed torture to occur under their watch, illegally spied on American citizens' telecommunications such as e-mails and cell phone calls without a warrant as an excuse for "national security policy", and commited treason by revealing the identity of a covert CIA operative, Valerie Plame-Wilson, as a means of political retaliation. Today, these felons are walking free and doing book tours and speaking at lavish, high-paying events when they should be arrested, investigated, given a fair trial and prosecuted for their crimes against humanity. These Bush administration officials have snickered at the face of justice and have damaged the reputation and influence of this once-great nation. Something must be done to preserve the "rule of law"!

I am Viet Nam Marine Corp Vetern and I am not considered Service connected and the amount funds per year they have me and my wife living on is $6,685.00 below the Federal Stanard Proverty Level and I do not think it fair of Congress and the Senate when making up the money which goes to the Vetern Adminstration that there allowing us to live below proverty Level which is set by the Federal Standard Provety Level for a couple these days in the year of 2012 it just not right if we were willing give up our lives so they can free and all American in our United States Of America.

Our representatives do not represent the people any longer; they represent the corporations and the rich. As long as special interests pour money into the pockets of politicians, the politicians will do their bidding. All elections should be publicly financed. Only then will the people's best interest be at the forefront.
