We, Deaf West Virginians support Karen Kingrey's idea to create new decal on the special license plate. We prefer blue ribbon and George Veditz instead of symbol of ear with slash. We want to honor George Veditz, former President of NAD who preserved our sign language which is most noblest God-given gift and blue ribbon represents Deaf culture, language, community, and history.

Why has education become so expensive? It's not because children are educated better. On the contrary. They come out of our State High Schools in such a disadvantaged Educational Status, that it is so much easier for the Student to rule out Further Education

The world has changed much since the Cuban Embargo's inception in 1960 over 50 years ago. As far back as 1975, U.S. Senator Edward M. Kennedy urged the U.S. government to lift the embargo and normalize relations with Cuba. "I believe the idea of isolating Cuba was a mistake," says Kennedy. "It has been ineffective. Whatever the reasons and justifications may have been at the time, now they are invalid." Now 37 years after Kennedy proclaimed it a dead policy, I, a Cuban-American, son of Cuban immigrants, call for this completely failed policy to end. Please sign this petition to help bring about a new policy that fosters dialogue and productive interaction between our two countries.

While Title IX, in theory, is and has been a respected attempt to provide equality between genders in athletics and academics, a revision to Title IX must be considered. Countless young student-athletes are increasingly losing opportunities to compete for and enroll in higher education institutions. The negative impacts of Title IX are starting to be seen at the high school level as well. Questionable cuts have been made most recently at the University of Delaware, University of Maryland, University of California and Millersville University. The administrations at many Universities across the US have put the educational experience of its students second to profits, how well their school ranks against others, and personal career goals. Administrators are making decisions to cut teams based on short-team incentives, without taking into account the effects on students, both now and in the future. Throughout all of these cuts, administrations have found a way to manipulate Title IX to stand as its excuse. The outdated Title IX has done its job, and is now being abused my selfish administrations. While so many of these Universities are blatantly lying and acting in bad faith, nothing has been done to stop them because of the way Title IX is written and enforced. Sign this petition if you feel the current enforcement of Title IX is doing more wrong that right. Sign this petition if you demand to see a Title IX reform that ensures equal opportunities for both male and female student-athletes, and a certain level of accountability for the Universities involved.

The war on drugs has failed. The public is seeking alternatives to punitive drug policies that have done little to curb substance abuse or drug-related crime and violence. We want President Obama to initiate a national dialogue that would identify policy alternatives grounded in science, compassion, public health and human rights.

The federal government subsidies the companies who produce ethanol from corn. The proponents of this subsidy erroneously believe that use of corn bases ethanol is environmentally friendly, when it has been scientifically proven that the production and use of corn based ethanol in gasoline has a negative effect on the environment. It also drives up the price of corn, beef and pork to the consumer.

The MBTA wants to raise fares. It's been a time of record unemployment, people have been forced out of homes, many have gone bankrupt. Few outside the MBTA Union workers have received 3.5% cost of living increases and pay little toward their health insurance + minor co-pays for health services. The MBTA Board has to go back to the drawing Board for a better solution. Getting more off the backs of seniors + disabled peopkle isn't right.

Taxes,jobs and the economy.

The Oklahoma legislature is facing an agenda packed with urgent issues. Governor Mary Fallin has the opportunity to stand behind the people of Oklahoma on these issues by letting our voices be heard as well. As an Oklahoman, I am calling on our Governor to support our ideas, needs, and wants as if, she herself, was an average citizen.
