It's important to capture the minds of preteens and teenagers coming into man or womanhood. I really feel that a high school education should provide a young person a real chance at success. It's so unfortunate that a lot of millennials don't want to contribute to society by earning their keep. But I don't put the blame completely on the youth. Do to broken homes, minds,spirits,and poor parenting skills and a failing education system. We have so many young people rushing to be nothing, or a ball player, rapper, or drug dealer. So I've took upon myself to start petitioning to bring back vocational high schools starting with the one I graduated from in 1992 . Wymore Tech gave us opportunity to learn various different skills that captured students interest. Also it brought about a certain pride an admiration about yourself. That made your education the most important thing in your life. Knowing once you graduate you will have a certified trade, for a better chance at employment opportunities. So i DaShan Magwood would greatly appreciate it if you would take the time to care for the youth and sign my petition and take this journey with me. Thank You

As can be seen by the Presidential elections of 2000 and 2016, the current Electoral system can elect a candidate who receives a smaller portion of the popular vote. While this seems inherently unfair, there are those that feel that without the protection of the Electoral College, larger, more populous states would have the ability to dominate the smaller states and render their voices mute. This new proposal keeps the current protection of the smaller states. They receive the same number of votes, but it eliminates the inherent unfairness of the current winner-take-all system. This ensures that a conservative voter in a conservative district in an otherwise liberal state (or vice versa, a liberal in a conservative state) would actually have a voice in the presidential election, it would matter how they vote. Since every vote would matter, it would encourage more people to vote.

Because people are out here starving , no food to eat and children are under nourished and can't focus because they're hungry. Parents don't know whether to pay bills or feed families and we throwing food away by the tons on a daily basis like that's the right thing to do all because people worrying about being sued.

Our democracy is being attacked by Trump.

I HAVE A GRANDCHILD THAT I HAVE BEEN IN HER LIFE FOR 4 YEARS AND WHEN MY DAUGHTER GOT A NEW BOYFRIEND. HE DIDN'T WANT HER OR MY GRANDDAUGHTER AROUND HER FAMILY BUT ONLY TO HAVE HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS. SO IT'S BEEN 8 MONTHS SINCE I SAW MY GRANDDAUGHTER.

This is important because people that have already become addicted to cigarettes,cigars,snuff,chewing tobacco and vaping will have to cold turkey which has been proven to potentially cause hazards to their health.Its also not a fair law to a lot of the citizens, I know countless students going straight from high school to the military,oilfield or mines. From personal experience working in oilfields/mines since I was 18 those 30+ hours days and what oilfielders face is incredibly stressful and tiring. Nicotine can help those workers stay awake where they can't drink any energy drinks at all because several companies in Gillette do not allow energy drinks so it keeps oilfielders calm and cool headed as well as awake. The impact on energy production could potentially decrease heavily if 18 year olds in the oilfield can't perform safely and get injured and or killed. Its also an unfair law because if a person is old enough to defend their country and people they should be able to come back home and have a cigarette with family or friends. My main question is how do they plan on containing the age to 21? All individuals that know anyone 21 or older still have access to tobacco all a person has to do is ask a parent or friend or partner. This law is completely pointless, the law should be directed towards juuls, homemade vape products and homemade THC products. The homemade products are incredibly dangerous because they are not made correctly and people can put anything in them. Juuls are extremely dangerous because one Juul pod is equivalent to 20 cigarettes being smoked at once according to truth initiative. They also contain benzoic acid which an FDA approved vape juice doesn't. The vape juice i use is made by trained professionals and sold all over the USA my entire 60 ml bottle contains 36 mg of nicotine in total. I have been vaping since I turned 18 and I haven't seen any sign of health problems caused by my vaping. I know several people that have been vaping for 5+ years and have no sign of health problems. Its not the broad spectrum of vaping that's the problem its the salt nic, juuls and homemade juices that is the problem. This law also got 10 people I know of fired from a job because they weren't old enough to use it so they weren't old enough to sell it. Its completely unfair to teenager starting out and trying to avoid drugs and alcohol. Not all people wanna start their career path in fast food like many in the past and vape stores and gas stations are great starting jobs so this law is forcing teenagers starting out Into very specific jobs. When I first turned 18 I had a child on the way and fast food wouldn't cut it so I went to gas stations and made enough to take care of my family so anyone in a similar situation might be in trouble for the simple fact that they can't sell tobacco or use tobacco in general.

I should have the autonomy to make my own choices about my style and what I do with my hair. I am old enough to make informed decisions and accept any consequences of my actions.

This is adversely impacting the commutes, quality of life, and property values of families served by these bus routes.

This action is important because in recent weeks, the majority party in the senate including its leadership, Senator McConnell, have stated and implied they do not intend to honor their required oath of impartiality. This trial is the only recourse that the citizens of the United States have in an effort to determine if a president of the United States has committed high crimes or misdemeanors worthy of removal from office. This is not a political sideshow; rather it is a basic expression of our democratic power and will as citizens of the United States. It must not become a mockery of justice or our Constitution.

The House of Representatives impeaching a sitting president is historic and needs to be taken seriously by the Senate. Unfortunately, however, Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans are falling into their political lines and staying complicit with the greed and corruption of this administration. Mitch McConnell is protecting an administration rife with bribery, obstruction of justice, and corruption. McConnell must remember he is accountable to the American public, not this administration. As such, he must allow witnesses to publicly testify. If this administration has done no wrongdoing, then these direct witnesses will be able to provide President Trump some very much needed exculpatory evidence. If there was no wrongdoing, Republicans, McConnell, and this administration should have nothing to fear from the questioning of first-hand witnesses. First-hand, direct witnesses should be required to testify in front of the Senate for a fair impeachment trial. The American people have a right to hear the truth.

Seasonal workers are spread out throughout Pierce County, so it is hard to organize. It is the hope that this petition will help seasonal workers share their stories and also spread the word about our local HR department's deceptive (or in the least- very disorganized) hiring practices of seasonal workers to each other and our community. This time of year, companies like UPS, Fed Ex, and Amazon ramp up hiring due to the increased volume of deliveries. UPS is a large company here in South Sound, and our community should know how they are currently treating many seasonal employees. Seasonal employees are essential to getting work done during the holiday season. They deserve to be treated with respect and dignity. Many were deceived or had their pay rate misrepresented when they were hired. As far as the petition writer knows, there has been no written communication from UPS HR to confirm that employees who are being underpaid will receive back pay and have their wage changed to the rate at which they were hired. Seasonal employees deserve to be compensated for the hourly wage they were offered (and that was publicly advertised), and there should be consistent ($18/hour) wage for all Driver Helpers. Middle management and union reps have been working hard (at least from the petitioner writer's experience) to support seasonal workers and advocate for the pay they were offered when hired. The high turn over of seasonal workers impacts management and all the full-time drivers at our regional UPS.

Cause if u suspended their license then how would you expect them to be productive in landing a job
