Seattle Central Community College's Film and Video program has been a bright source of solid training and immense talent for our state's film and video industry for 26 years! Tragically, this legendary program is being cut in 2012. We are calling on SCCC's President Dr. Paul Killpatrick, Chancellor Jill Wakefield, and the Board of Trustees to stand for this vital and relevant technical program. Please accept the full-time faculty proposal to stay open at reduced costs while collaborating with SCCC to reconfigure the program for continued viability and excellence in the future.

Hi, my name is Emily Sell and Daniela Pelaez is one of my very close friends. Daniela is valedictorian of her graduating class. She is a Questbridge Scholar, in the International Baccalaureate Program, has the highest ACT scores in her class, and has a 6.7 GPA. Her brother has served in the US military for 2 years, and she has already been separated from her mother. She is truly an amazing individual and never ceases to inspire me with her passion, determination, and positivity. To be without Daniela in our lives and the country's lives is a loss of one of the most brilliant individuals I have ever met. PLEASE sign this petition and help Daniela and her family to stay in the United States. PLEASE email Congressman Rivera at this link: https://rivera.house.gov/contact-me/email-me Put your zip code as 33015-7222 so the message goes through!!!

This petition is to confirm support from registered voters for Esau A. Freeman to run for office congress in the 4th congressional district.

Allow all local governments to move away from property taxes to sales and income taxes as a fairer tax structure. Taxing perceived wealth is old an antiquated tax structure. Its time local governments tax structure are updated to the 21st century. HB 2230 will allow every county in Pennsylvania to have a referendum question for a 1% county sales tax to reduce school district millage rates. It will also allow every local government entity, from county to school district to levy their own Earned Income Tax (EIT) or Personal Income Tax (PIT) to provide a minimum 30% reduction in their property tax millage rates to complete elimination. If a local government decides to do reduce property tax millage rates, then their rates are frozen at the level and they can raise their income tax rates based on inflation. For school districts, they will be locked into Act 1 of Special Session of 2001. This is a comprehensive approach to ending the property tax system and moving local governments to a fair and transparent taxing system. No tax should have the ability to make you homelsess!

According to this story in the Santa Fe New Mexican, police responding to an alleged Internet crime hopped a fence into the property of the reported VICTIM of the crime and shot her 11-year-old dog, leaving its corpse on the front porch for the innocent owner and her young children to see when they returned home. http://www.santafenewmexican.com/Local%20News/State-police-shoot-dog

This procedure is not medically necessary and is instead merely a political tactic to undermine women's reproductive options and a blatant attempt to legislate morality and emotionally damage women. It seeks to make ultrasound (transvaginal or abdominal) a requirement and requires the practitioner to share the images with the woman receiving abortion services, even if it is necessary to remove a miscarried fetus or ectopic pregnancy. In the US, we are given the right to refuse certain medical services and this legislation attempts to violate and remove those rights because of the moral objections of others who are not receiving the service. This legislation is unconstitutional and therefore violates the Fourth Amendment.

I pledge to Stay I pledge to Fight I pledge to Help The current proposed 2012-13 budget provides substantially less funds for the next school year, resulting in the loss of a classroom teacher and five para professionals. The school board does not vote on a finalized budget from the district administration until June, so there is time for our school board to deny the proposed cuts and choose to provide adequate funding to maintain our current staff.

Abortion Laws Do Not Give The Unborn Fetus The Right To Life. A Mother Does Not Have The Right to Protect Her Unborn Baby. A Battered Mother Cannot Claim It As A Defense From A Violent Attack From A Domestic Partner & Is Hidden From the Jury. The Lack of Understanding of the Battered Women Sydrome Defense Has Failed. Judges, Presecutors, and Defense Attorneys Do Not Understand How to Apply The Defense-Consequently, Mothers Are Receiving 25 Years To Life Instead of An Acquittal or Short Term Manslaughter Sentences. And Then They Are Robbed of the Very Children They Were Trying to Save In the First Place. Defense Should Not Be A Crime! Inspite of The Abortion Laws!
