"On 30 March 2012, all Facebook Pages will get a new design." -Facebook This new design is the same ugly "Timeline" available for personal pages, except on March 30th our fan pages will permanently change. The "Timeline" design will make our pages look the same as a personal page and will confuse fans and potential fans. This all together will make it harder on the average artist/page owner. We need to stop this, or at least make it optional!

The proposed leveraging of publicly-held resources for up to 50 years to pay for an arena is the wrong choice to make at this time in Sacramento's history. Those funds would be better used to put more police officers on the street, keep firefighters on the job, fix our crumbling infrastructure, and restore the services that have been slashed for our city parks and other amenities.

My petition would start classes from high school, to college. A single class would enable the student to obeserve themselves, in the mirror. Too many times, have I seen a sucessful-educated person, who has no idea; what life is really about. So I propose we introduce classes in school systems. Having children talk about: character issues, pride, fear, ego etc. Teach our children that: big cars, golf memberships and fancy ties; will not find you complete happiness. Imagaine the effects on the ecomonoy, in the long-run. Divorces woud go down; crime-rate decreased; TAXES would go down; so much more. So I move to have a form of classes introduced to our systems, to better improve our children's tomorrow.

Illinois has many watersheds that are not safe for drinking. There are very few inspectors to keep track of all of the water supplies and unfortunately, they often do not follow through with giving citations to communities that are in clear violation of EPA drinking standards and are not aggressive enough about expecting those in violation to make necessary changes to ensure safe drinking water. Contaminants such as vinyl chloride from nearby landfills, dangerous levels of nitrates, water not treated for bacteria, and nuclear plants leaking radiation into groundwater are examples of what people unknowingly drink everyday. Please regulate the water supply appropriately and expect water inspectors to issue citations as needed and not turn a blind eye to them, our health depends on it, as water is a basic human necessity! Please make budget cuts someplace else that does not effect the health and safety of Illinois residents any further!

For 7 years, the Taylor Energy Company and the government of Louisiana have hidden from the general public the fact that a well 11 miles off the Louisiana coastline has been leaking steadily since 2004. A lawsuit was filed February 2012 in Federal District Court to make the company stop the leak, clean up the oil, and lift the veil of secrecy surrounding the spill.

Governor Fallin has proposed to slash Oklahoma's top income tax rate, a move that could cost the state as much as $1 Billion. She proposes to offset these losses by eliminating tax deductions for our veterans and middle class families. This brazen proposal could leave our state in financial ruin, forcing us either to be insolvent or slash vital services.

Tell Obama to fire Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe who is sticking with a Republican approved plan to devastate the USPS. Instead of looking for new funding, paying USPS executives less (Donahoe makes $800,000 a year) or any other thoughtful solution, the plan is to destroy the USPS and turn all services over to private carriers that won't serve rural areas and will decrease service quality. The USPS is a legacy written into our Constitution and not something we will want to lose.

Topix is a website that is based for people to use fake names as there log in name so they can say anything they want, true or false, about other individuals. There is no trace of the actual person that starts or replies to each topic. Children and adults both are being bashed,slandered, and bullied on this site. We need to have this shut down before the post made cause serious problems including suicide & homicide. This site has already caused friendships to cease, marriages to end in divorce, and kids to be taunted in school and social gatherings. So lets please STOP TOPIX before its to late!!!

Ok has a US patent 5,771,518 ( Total Precast Bridge manufactured in a Factory , erected in days) being delayed March 1 2005 to 1 March 2012 at OK Department of Okla, which, if allowed to be included in a US DOT GRANT for Testing, we believe, these ( Tested Total Precast Bridges manufactured in a Factory , erected in days ) with Carbon Fiber material would COST approx $56.00 per sq foot, vs the new I- 40 and 5,000 OK bridges COST Approx $98.00 per sq foot over next Gov Fallin's 8 year Plan

In his 2013 budget, Illinois Governor Pat Quinn proposes to "zero out" the state's contribution to the Retired Teachers Health Insurance Program (TRIP and CIP). Active teachers and their districts contribute every pay check to this insurance program, while retired teachers have paid a substantial premium every month. But now without warning Governor Quinn has unilaterally proposed to slash state support. As a result, retired teachers' health insurance costs will significantly increase. Governor Quinn is breaking the state's promise to the men and women who spent 35 years teaching the children of Illinois. Tell Governor Quinn this is no way to support teachers!

Yesterday the Senate passed the HB 462 mandatory ultrasound bill, which would require women in Virginia seeking an abortion to receive a medically unnecessary and expensive ultrasound prior to the procedure.We are calling on Governor McDonnell to send a message to the lawmakers the women of Virginia that the government will not interfere with women's reproductive health decisions made between her and her doctor.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel believes in public education for the few, not the many. He has called the rapidly expanding Noble Street Charter Network the “secret sauce” to public education in Chicago. But what’s in that “secret sauce”? $386,745. That’s how much the charter school has made from $5 fines and $280 “behavior classes” imposed on low-income students for behavior like leaning back in your chair, chewing gum, forgetting your belt, and not following the teacher with your eyes at all times. If you can’t pay, your options are limited—be held back a year, or leave the school entirely. Forty percent of all Noble students drop out or transfer before their senior year. It’s a scenario that’s far too common across Chicago, where Mayor Emanuel is aggressively expanding the use of extreme discipline policies at all schools. The rising use of fines, arrests, and multi-week suspensions for infractions that could better be--and once were--handled by a trip to the principal's office means that more and more students are leaving Chicago schools with a record, not a diploma. Black and Latino students, who are over three times more likely to be arrested for minor offenses than white students, are hurt the most by these policies. Our tax dollars should be used to put all our students on a path to college, not a path to prison. Instead of defending Noble, Mayor Emanuel needs to end extreme disciplinary practices at all publicly-funded schools. Tell him that we need a common-sense discipline code that works for all Chicago families.
