• *JASPER COUNTY JAIL* Cleanliness, dietary issues, recreation.
    I was stopped by CPD while residing in Carthage. The end result was I got tickets for improper registration and no insurance. I moved to Joplin before my court day and honestly had so much other stuff going on that I'd forgotten all about it, honestly. Well, I was stopped by JPD and got arrested. I spent a few days in Joplin city jail, then got transferred to Jasper county jail where I also spent a few days. When in Jasper county jail, the conditions were beyond horrible; and I mean for anyone. But I don't wish to share any names or specifics; however, there was an incident that I heard about where a young woman did not only attempt to, but she hung herself. She passed out; later came to in a puddle of blood, her chin cracked, her neck all messed up and bruised up horribly. Needless to say, she wanted nothing more than to die, with a whole beautiful life ahead of her. And that's what that place does to most people. All the disease and filth and hunger. No wonder people constantly go mad. Think about this. Our Jasper county jail is only teaching people to be lazy and to not take care of any responsibility at all but then they expect them to get out and just work and be responsible. That's just insane if you ask me.

  • Speed Bumps for Kennesaw Acres
    Our neighborhood has become dangerous to walk through as people exceedingly drive over the speed limit on our roads. I can’t walk my baby in a stroller because many drivers speed and aren’t paying attention. We also have people who aren’t residents constantly cutting through the neighborhood. Since they don’t live here, they don't understand or respect the need for the safety of our children. Please help our neighborhood become safe!

  • Tell Congress: Investigate all of Trump's crimes
    The only reason we know about the Ukraine extortion was because Democrats kept pushing, rather than limit their investigations. If they stop now, they may miss other crucial evidence or other crimes Trump has committed. Grassroots pressure helped make the impeachment inquiry a reality. Now we need to make sure its scope is broad -- and by sending a message to Congress, you can help make it happen. Can you help?

  • #BoycottNYPost: Advertisers Divest Now!
    The NY Post has engaged in racist & bigoted reporting that has victimized communities of color for decades! On April 11th, the New York Post published its front page with the Twin Towers in flames & Rep. Ilhan Omar’s comments taken out of context from a speech earlier this year. This coverage created national hysteria inciting death threats to Rep. Omar as well as fear among Muslim Americans. This kind of journalism is an attack on communities of color nationally and we cannot allow a paper to victimize our communities any longer! The Yemeni American Merchant Association (YAMA) has launched a #BoycottNYPost Campaign in April of 2019 that has led to 2,000 bodega's boycotting the sale of the newspaper as well as a coalition of 30 organizations mobilizing to spread awareness & demand the advertisers divest now!

  • NJDEP DENY Permits for NESE
    Please sign and share: The NJDEP was to decide on the permits for Williams -Transco's proposed Northeast Supply Enhancement (NESE) Project on Oct 25th BUT Williams- Transco withdrew 3 applications and asked for an extension on the other. The NESE Projects includes a new gas-powered gas Compressor Station (—the most polluting type—in Franklin near South Brunswick & Princeton- in an active blasting zone, in a wooded area, where there is very low water pressure and no functioning fire hydrants) and a 23-mile Pipeline Expansion underneath the Raritan Bay and Lower New York Harbor (the construction project will dredge up industrial toxins like arsenic, lead, zinc and mercury and organic compounds PCBs, DDT, and dioxins that have been buried under the seabed for decades.) If Governor Murphy and The NJDEPare serious about stopping the greenhouse gas pollution that’s driving us towards irreversible Climate Catastrophe, the choice is clear. We are well beyond the point where we can let the greed of the fossil fuel industry halt our transition to 100% clean renewable energy.

  • Make Into Law: “The Donald Trump Presidential Indictment Act”
    Naming the law after Trump will remind generations to come of Trump’s rampant corruption, and ensure the name Trump will forever be associated with criminality.

  • Hope X
    This petition is for Moms Demand Action extension from an African American who is has kids in the school system and marched for MarchforOurLives & Enough is Enough. We need radical change and reform with the political thought process of making teachers arm their classrooms with weapons. More can be done when a panic button is hit and perhaps a classroom is locked to trap the gunman or prevent the gunman from entering a classroom. Surveillance cameras should be installed to watch the hallways and swift manuerving from the local resource officer can happen. I hope that you find this a beneficial way for prevention of more school massacres in the future. A resource officer should always be present to greet the students period in all school levels. Thank you for reading this petition and please network with others to voice your opinions.

  • Boaters asking Governor to halt one aspect of the possible 130% slip fee increase
    DNLR proposed a bill that significantly increases the slip fees in all the State of Hawaii Boat Harbors. The bill was approved by the Land Board and Governor Ige in August, to take effect November 1, 2019. One aspect of the bill is quite expensive and unfair to boaters. Until now, boaters have been charged by the length of their boat, but the new legislation allows the harbor to charge for the maximum length of the dock, which in some cases can be 9 feet of 'airspace.' We are asking the Governor to intervene and order the DNLR to charge the new fee according to the size of the boat. Then, in the upcoming year, DNLR can work on the legislation to abolish the size categories (within the harbor). Boaters who want to move to shorter slips are NOT currently allowed to do so because it would upset the waitlist, which is approximately 5 years. Charging by the 'length of the dock' puts an extra financial burden on the smallest boats. The size 'Category' system used for the waitlist and placement of boats in the harbor should be abandoned. Each size 'Category' is 10 feet in length so the boats with lengths on the cusp of categories will be paying for 'airspace'. This aspect of the rate increase was not fully thought out by the boating division. DNLR-Boating administrators have suggested that people in this situation 'move to shorter dock', yet the Harbormaster says we must reapply and wait potentially 5 years for a smaller slip. Please start the new fee using the established 'per foot of boat length' as each boat has already been measured. Do not use the length of the dock for pricing. We are asking Governor Ige to make the emergency provision regarding this matter during the 'grace period' between the signing of the law and before the new fees take effect, November 1, 2019. For example, I have an O'Day 35 sailboat in a 'Category C' slip. (The base rate does not include Dock Box, Bathroom Keys, Taxes, Electricity, or proof of Insurance.) My current Base rate per month is $253.00 My New November 1 rate based on the length of my boat would be $468.00 My New November 1 rate based on the length of my dock could be $ 585.00 depending on how the dock is measured. The current dock permittees have not been notified in writing what their exact individual dock measurements are. The harbor agents are still measuring the docks and can't give exact individual bill amounts yet. We do not know exactly what will be charged on November 1, 2019. Staying with the per foot of BOAT length is a better way the start the new fee. Mahalo.

    Do you believe students should have greater power in determining the course of the university, which would include fully funding the panther shuttle, pharmacy, and counseling center services? Administration is not carrying out the will of students.
