I live in a rural area of Lucasville OH and we have had extremely unreliable phone and internet service for years. The areas we experience trouble is Rush, Union and Morgan townships, specifically. We rely on land lines because of a lack of cell towers and reliable cell signal. There are elderly and disabled individuals who desperately need working communication services. We have been told by Frontier customer service that we are getting fiberoptic internet in our area, only to be informed later by service technicians that we will not be getting it on our road or those past us. We pay for services not being rendered. The bill comes regardless of whether or not we have service and we pay because we have no other alternatives. We are formally requesting that fiberoptic internet and reliable phone service be provided in our areas as soon as possible.

The U.S. allots over half our discretionary spending to the military. This encourages war and deficit spending while taking resources from higher priorities like environmental restoration, healthcare and education. This must be reversed.

In light of current news of nation-state interference in US elections, every state has the responsibility to safeguard its entire election process against rigging, hacking and computer errors. According to election security experts, only hand marked paper ballots, robustly audited by publicly witnessed hand counts, can protect our elections by catching tallying errors - whether due to rigging, hacking or computer error - after the fact. New York currently has no reliable path to 100% hand count, which courts have prevented even in very close elections (e.g. Johnson v. Martin, Nassau County, 2010). Currently, NYS law allows vendors to choose which voting machines to submit for certification. We need to establish an RFP process and outlaw voting machines that can print over voter-marked or voter-approved ballots - the only ones vendors are currently submitting for certification! And we need to establish a right to recount like 43 other states have in close elections or upon candidate- and voter-petition initiative. Otherwise, our elections are invitations to riggers and hackers. And now the courts have ruled that voters and reporters can’t ever see the ballot images - the photos taken by our scanners - because they must be preserved and therefore can’t be FOILed for two years - after which they can be destroyed! That must be reversed by legislation. Public display of ballot images would be a way for voters to verify for ourselves the accuracy of the computer count.

The straw upon request movement is a simple way to get people to reduce there impact on our amazing planet. Straw upon request means when you buy beverage or go to a restaurant they will ask you before they give you a straw. Every day people use over 500 million straws. Save the truffles - straw less NJ - stop sucking

The debate format works best with just two debaters and is useless with 10 candidates on-stage, who are competing for attention instead explaining their positions. Instead, candidates would be randomly assigned debate partners as well as their debate location. The debates would ask the same questions and be held simultaneously so no candidate gets an unfair advantage and would give every candidate a fair chance to state why they believe they are the best person to lead the country. By posting videos of all the debates on-line, we could listen to the responses of all candidates to each question to more easily figure out who gave the best answers and whose answers most closely matched our own ideas, as well as which candidates avoided giving real answers to hard questions. On-line voting could be used to assess which answers were most popular instead of who shouted loudest or expressed the most outrageous statements.

I'm a medical patient I have family and friends who are patients in need of more medical marijuana the limit of 8 ounces every 3 months isn't enough a lot of the people I know are hitting there limit within a month and the people that can't hit there limit can't because they don't make enough so I think we need discounted bud sales and to be able to buy a half or ounce Ohio deserves to be able to smoke it not have to vape it they should just have to warn us of the concerns of putting fire to bud but it should be our choice like all the other states

Mayor Kirk Caldwell June 16, 2019. The People of Hawai'i, and its Residents of Waimanalo Honolulu, HI. Hereby, declare immediate demand for Mayor Kirk Caldwell and Community Board Chair Wilson Kekoa Ho's resignation. We the People of Hawai'i hereby request an immediate investigation of fraudulent use of our taxes for unsustainable reasons by both Mayor Kirk Caldwell and Waimanalo Community Board Chairman Wilson Kekoa Ho. We have no reasons to justify these losses by both members of the City. Mahalo , Mel Wildman. ** Hi Rev Statues, HI Rev Stat § 205A-44 (2013). And HI Rev Stat §171-58.5, and §205A-44. All seem to say the same thing....Leave what is not yours alone....we could pretty much file an injunction upon the legitimate fact where public is concerned. Any public body subject to the State Budget Act, Chapter 143C of the General Statutes and exercising quasi-judicial functions, during a meeting or session held solely for the purpose of making a decision in an adjudicatory action or proceeding. ( § 143-318.12. Public notice of official meetings. (case notes AG). ** We should not allow our Public servants or Officials of Government in Office, apply waste and abuse of our funds that show lack of sustainable purpose to our human needs. This project is irrelevant to all purposes of Human need. Wildman. Additional information : This situation of his projects to the public is total incompetence of his ability to properly serve as Mayor to the City and County of Honolulu. His past service in office included an implied scam and contract with a Mr. Lyon, regarding the Airport Contract deal. Then tried to hide the information by getting rid of the documents the minute he heard Mr. Lyon was being investigated by the FBI. 1. His ability to cause conflict of public tax payers and fees are noted. 2. His ability to create huge losses to the entire STATE for the rail. 3. His incompetence to not control his rail FUNDS. 4. His mismanagement of the rail and its financial losses to taxpayers. 5. His project of Wiamanalo Sherwood is "irrelevant" and totally a loss to taxpayers. His obligations in office is incomplete in his projects, The Rail has failed since he got into Office...and still continues to plummet in COST. Instead of building a baseball field in his district he proposed a District he is not even raised or born in. And should had built it where his rail would serve the purpose of transportation in Waipahu, Not Waimanalo. He must be called to " resign " or be impeached due to his incompetent acts in Office. 6. His project of the Rail Is funded by the taxpayers , those who live on the Windward side to the East side have no use of it. Those who live on the outer Islands have no use for it. And , now he wants to build a baseball field on a sacred ground in Waimanalo...with whose taxes ? Evey person on the Outside Islands and East / Northshore / Windward Oahu have no use for the Rail. Now both, Mayor and Waimanalo Community Board Chairman Mr. Wilson Kekoa Ho, wishes for all of you named in the above to pay taxes for the Mayors Baseball Field and park. In this case the full project involves a $32 million plan to build a regional sports center, including a Little League diamond, a full-size baseball field, two additional fields that could be used for rugby or soccer and up to 470 parking stalls. Phase 1 includes one ball field, a playground and 11 parking stalls, at a cost of $1.42 million. What part of this project does he promote '' SUSTAINABILITY ?". Mayor Caldwell , can you prove to me that it is sustainable for food ? or sustainable for environmental purpose or climate control , or housing ? what part of this project is relevant to human needs ? There is no relevance to Human Need in this project. But i do see a large kickback from its Developers like the Lyon scam investigation. This is virtually a sign that you are mentally incompetent to your position as Mayor. They gym has not been repaired or completed in repairs, we have a baseball field in Waimanalo already, You are born and raised in a district that your rail is situated in...and should have had built a baseball field instead of a RAIL !....Wildman. ***** Now know the facts. (1). There was no legal Treaty of Annexation between Hawai’i and the U.S. (2). The conspirators were called insurgents by U.S. president Glover Cleveland in his address to the U.S. Congress. (3). The U.S. apology law is a domestic law which means it has no effect in Hawai’i. (4). All ceded lands aka Crown lands are not for sale for profit by the State or City. (5). City has no rights to Crown lands they are not an Heir of. (6). Damages to crown lands that are sacred by a Non-Hawaiian is "racial' discrimination. (7). People of Hawai'i and its community shall have the right to claim solidarity and peace to their community for the sake of Humanity. And shall not be abrdiged by the Government to incur distrubance to their peace, their lifestyle , or their religious beliefs. ​ The people and Residents of Waimanalo hereby call for your immediate resignations of Office. Wildman. Jun 16, 2019.

Since the creation of the amendment, women have been taking advantage of their rights. They make obscure comments about men, and worst of all, they have created feminism.

Waiting tables is an extremely involved job. It requires more than what meets the eye as the general public has very little idea of what it entails. It’s extremely demanding and people can be so rude, they act as if they are the only person in the restaurant. The idea that the customer is always right is a fallacy that allows this behavior. It should be within reason of course to receive the best service, however often times people take things out on the server that is out of their hands such as the kitchen’s mistakes. A bad tip takes away from a good tip and when you’re forced to pay 3% of your sales to hosts, bussers, and bartenders a 20% tip is already a 17% tip. To do a job where you are constantly moving for 8 hours, never sitting down, hot, sweaty , rude people and you still have to smile is a performance that is NOT easy. People will sit in your section and take their time to order an appetizer and water, spend 1 .5 hours in the seat playing on their phone on a Saturday night. Not realizing the window a server has to make their money is about 3 hours and we do this by flipping our tables, so tipping by percent then is really a slap in the face. Also the federal government taking away gratuity for large parties really cut our income by a 1/3 . Same thing a large party takes up your whole section so let’s say they stay 3 hours and don’t tip, you actually end up paying for their food, losing money. If the kitchen messes up, the food is comped but there’s no recourse or respect to servers time or compensation. In order to balance this out servers should at least make 6$ hour or minimum wage . I feel the time that corporate restaurants not paying their staff and using servers to pay with their hard earned money needs to end . I’m waiting on change !!!!!!

This energy-intensive, coal-burning smelter will emit hundreds to thousands of tons of greenhouse gases and other coal toxins annually. The carbon footprint will be tremendous. The Pend Oreille River Valley, the Little Spokane watershed and North Idaho will be blanketed with toxic emissions. This smelter will be located within one-to-two miles of eight Newport schools, athletic fields, parks, the Newport Hospital, and downtown Newport. HiTest/PacWest claims it will be a “green” facility, but only 5% of its product will be for solar cells. The tremendous carbon and toxic coal footprint of the smelter will never be offset. Governor Inslee: you claim to be the “climate candidate”. But your support for this proposed smelter only demonstrates a contradictory approach to climate change. Our livelihoods, health and economy will be devastated. Governor Inslee: we ask that you please withdraw your support and endorsement of the HiTest/PacWest Newport smelter.

Ken Cuccinelli has a shockingly regressive record on immigration, including: - Comparing immigration policy to pest control and insinuating that the government should break up immigrant families. - Sponsoring a resolution to amend the Constitution and strip US-born children of undocumented immigrants of their citizenship - Introducing legislation to let employees get fired for speaking languages other than English at work and disqualifying them from unemployment benefits - Repeatedly referring to immigration as an "invasion" and speaking in favor of invoking "war powers" to drop due process and militarize the border The head of the union that represents US Citizenship and Immigration Services employees did not mince words: "the possible appointment of Ken Cuccinelli ... spells the end of legal immigration as it currently exists." As Virginia attorney general, Cuccinelli embarked on a multiyear legal campaign to smear and discredit one of the world's most prominent climate scientists, Michael E. Mann. Cuccinelli demanded thousands of emails by invoking a discredited conspiracy theory in order to allege fraud. It was a clear case of political interference and censorship, and Cuccinelli ultimately lost. The episode demonstrates the danger of putting Cuccinelli into a position of power over others. Now, as climate change drives forced migration around the globe, Cuccinelli is set to take over the US Citizenship and Immigration Services, which handles the legal process of gaining residency and citizenship in this country. Even many Republican senators loathe Cuccinelli, who led a group that has boosted their conservative primary challengers. Tell your senators that Cuccinelli is too unqualified and extreme for this, or any, position in our federal government!
