  • Paper Trails For Electronic Voting Machines
    In the US many states are conducting elections with un-auditable voting machines puting our elections in the hands of software with no verification process or means of accurate recounting. US Elections deserve better as the world's model for Democracy.

  • Evict tenants of unit 242 MLD
    On October 22nd there were five separate eyewitness accounts of Marina Bay resident, Carlos Reyes unit 242, cutting branches from the tree directly in front of unit 240. These branches contained healthy foliage that provided a natural canopy around the balcony of unit 240. They provided shade, privacy and the appealing ambiance of having a room outside. The branches were hacked off in such a poor manor that the tree is now more susceptible to obtaining a disease. The resident of 242 appears to have violated two of the policies of Marina Bay Community’s Rules & Regulations handbook. Both policies (D & F) are located on page 4 under section IV. labeled Association Property. If it is found that the resident of 242 did violate said policy then the owner of 242 has the right to break the lease per section III-E of the General Rules located on page two of the handbook.

  • Sufficient Funding for Education.
    We are getting to that time of year, where teachers and administrators are being told about the possibility that their positions will be eliminated the following year due to budget. Class sizes will increase, schools will close, students achievement will decrease if education funding will continue in its current form!

  • Moratorium on Adams County Hydraulic Fracturing
    Adams County, Colorado is facing large-scale industrial drilling with the new oil and gas boom, and current laws do not allow citizens, cities, or counties to enact local ordinances regarding where drilling can occur and in what manner. Current state regulations do not offer adequate protection to the public and the environment from the harmful impacts of horizontal hydraulic fracturing (fracking.) Residents and localities are denied informed consent and the right of refusal, and some are subjected to "forced pooling." Citizens, HOAs, developers, and municipalities are faced with uncompensated financial burdens and losses with fracking. There is the potential for: • Loss of quality of life • Adverse health impacts and expenses • Loss of property values • Possible threats to mortgage and insurance coverage guarantees • Possible water, air, and ground pollution • Threat to water security in a water scarce state • Legal costs to prove harm and loss • Cost to taxpayer for remediation of contaminated land or water, damaged roads, etc. Such coerced contracts, denial of rights, and uncompensated harms are contrary to our U.S. Constitution, our State Constitution, human rights, and common law. This petition asks for relief from harm, from unlawful denial of rights, and from uncompensated loss, related to oil and gas drilling, by asking for a moratorium on drilling in Adams County until such harms or insults are cured.

  • Stop CPS from legally stealing children
    Child protective services has over stepped their bounds and are padding their numbers to make it look like they are needed, by lying about the amount of abuse cases. Child protective services break so many constitutional laws and laws written to back the constitution just to steal our children and break up families. Children are being ripped away from loving families because people claim their abuse, without proof, and Child protective services without due process take children from their homes. When A crime has supposedly been committed it should be left up to the police department to investigate, and give parents their due process. There is no need for child protective services to existence, especially when our founding fathers were against such governments in the first place. They make laws which somehow has ignored what the constitution says, we reserve our rights of not being harassed and be accused of a crime in which they fabricate. They court system they use is a kangaroo court with no real justice, and they use threats and intimidation to kidnap children from loving homes, merely because they can, it has to stop. They aren't suppose to exist, they do not protect children once they get them they put them in hellish foster homes, with people who only care about the money they get for each child taken. When a parent stands up for their rights they fight back with fabricated evidence to take their children away. There so much corruption that it is in our power to abolish a government when has become corrupted. Now here is your chance to tell congress to abolish a government that is corrupted. Better laws need to be in place so that the small percentage of children being abused is protected. But a branch of government call child protective services needs to go, they don’t look out for the best interest of the children, they look out for their best interest of themselves. they put people in their pockets by paying them off in order to get what they want. us the people NEED to make a stand against CPS and the courts stealing our children to better THERE financial status, and by there I mean the people who work of CPS/DHS and the probate court. When CPS was originally formed, it was supposed to PROTECT the children who were being abused, that they could prove abuse in the home, and to HELP families stay together. But now the CPS and probate court are looking at dollar signs, And in the process there are hundreds of thousands of families who have to suffer the emotional and mental distraction of CPS tearing apart their family. CPS and the courts (in emmet co. that i know of for sure) in their pockets right along with a lot of the lawyers. The lawyers up here in Northern Michigan told us we have a case to get our children back. BUT Yet NOT 1 of them will go after the county, BECAUSE they will tell u straight out, because they have to work and live in Emmet county, and they know that the county will intimidate them until they moved just because they went up against them. How are you supposed to get ANY justice and help with protecting and fighting for the rights for your 4th amendment when no one will even help, because they are too scared to go up against the county. The news media won’t either because they are afraid of our county. Where is the justice???? Freedom of the press and freedom and speech?. All that Emmet County is showing is that they can do what they want because they pay everyone off or scare them. How long are we going to allow them to do this?
