College Students need a break in fuel prices.Every college student has a budget to succeeding in their educational goals but when the cost of fuel keeps climbing that takes a big bite out of the monies alloted to use and puts a slow down on our abilities to afford our education. The government subsidies fuel for those that truck our commodities across the nation. Why can't the government subsidise college students fuel cost with the same card that the truckers get while they are attending their semester studies. I spend $600.00 in fuel cost each semester which wouldour fuel be subsidised only while attending, spring, summer a pay for one semester class and now that I can't afford that class I am one step behind in my graduation schedule. I ask that nd fall classes and not for trips to the beach or errands, only education! You did it for the truckers so they would not band for a boycott on fuel. What if all collage students said to heck with their education and boycotted fuel cost, what would happen. I would say a lot of public and private colleges would close and the U.S. educational system for the future would also have to take a hit on hiring anyone with a timely degree. Boom there is another hit on the economy!! Help us students while we are striving to make our great country higher in the ranks of education! Give us a break on our fule costs!!20 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Linda S. Rex

Tell Mitt Romney to Disavow Ted Nugent's SupportOn Friday, March 2nd, controversial musician Ted Nugent, a proud misogynist with a history of inflammatory comments about women, announced his support for Republican Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney via Twitter: @TedNugent: "after a long heart&soul conversation with MittRomney today I concluded this good man will properly represent we the people & I endorsed him". Here are just a few of Nugent's disgusting utterances about women: (On Hillary Clinton) "You probably can't use the term 'toxic c--' in your magazine, but that's what she is. Her very existence insults the spirit of individualism in this country. This bitch is nothing but a two-bit whore for Fidel Castro." "And if you're a woman who feels that his lyrics to ditties such as the immortal 'Wang Dang Sweet Poontang' are sexist, Nugent says, 'Fuck you and go to a Garth Brooks show. Kiss my dog's dead, diseased, rotting ass. If you don't have a sense of humor, you're not allowed in Ted's world. I don't objectify women. I'd like to think that I'm optimizing their hardware.'" Feminists "are just women who aren't getting it often enough." [St. Petersburg Times, 3/12/99] "...I met a couple of guys in line yesterday and they say write something to my girlfriend, she won't let me go hunting. I wrote her something, I wrote Drop dead bitch. What good is she, trade her in, get a Dalmatian, who needs her, the wench." The Romney campaign seems to have actively sought Nugent's endorsement and are boasting about it. Romney's son Tagg -- who regularly represents his father's campaign as a surrogate -- tweeted: @tromney: "Ted Nugent endorsed my Dad today. Ted Nugent? How cool is that?! He joins Kid Rock as great Detroit musicians on team Mitt!" This is simply unacceptable. Speak out on behalf of women everywhere and tell Mitt Romney to disavow Nugent's support.61 of 100 SignaturesCreated by David Brock, American Bridge

It is in the interest of our cherished local arts scene and ever-evolving cultural history of San Francisco that TWINSPACE remain open to the public, and continue to spread its message of passion and community.

The idea of a corporate office taking over our space and our losing our lives' work, every single penny, and every drop of sweat, goes against the principles of advancement and integrity that we know are at the heart of this community. PLEASE help us retain our space by signing . Help us remind our landlord that Twinspace is of value to the neighborhood and the city. Refuse the allow corporate offices to take over the beautiful recycled maple floor, fully mirrored dance studio and colorful seamstress studio, that we created with our own hands and hearts!!!

PLEASE share this with anyone you know who cares about the future of the Performing and Healing Arts in San Francisco!
