• Requesting an Enviromental impact Study on the YMCA Project
    The YMCA is buying land in New Market Township for a camp, neither the state or county has required an Environmental Impact Study. Even though they will put 72 horse in a fenced 10 acre lot where acid from manure and urine will soak the ground and enter ground water, filling and maintaining a swimming pool for 300 people plus toilets and showers-which may effect the aquifer and last taking a small dirt road which runs through a natural watershed, where wild life exist and turning it into a bus and large truck road. This will require the changing or draining of a natural pond where the wild life comes to drink. The road may also cause a higher rate of drainage into neighboring properties. The impact of noise from vehicles and the change in air quality from diesel buses, trucks etc is also a concern to the bees and other wild life.

  • Sanyi Law
    At age 12 my daughter had court-ordered visitation with her father after a long custody battle. He was given the entire summer. While in his care she was sexually assaulted by her stepbrother and verbally and physically abused and neglected by her father. She did not want to go to begin with, stating to her guardian ad litem. When she spoke on things she endured at the supervision of her father, no one would listen. She then decided to start recording. The magistrate refused to listen to the recordings or even talk to my daughter. My daughter's life will never be the same; she has been diagnosed with PTSD behind the traumatic physical, mental, and sexual abuse. Now my daughter is 14 and an order is in place for her to return to yet another full summer visitation, facing her attacker, now age 16. My child has threatened to kill herself or run away if she ever has to go back. I'm here to start a petition. If a 14-year-old can work part-time or schedule their own high school courses, they should be able to come before a judge and state why they do or don't want to live or have visitation with a non-residential parent, especially when in danger or fearing for their life. A child at age 13 can refuse to be medicated, a child at 12 can be unsupervised and seen as responsible enough to be left home alone. So with Sanyi Law, with proper evidence and part of the investigation, a 14-year-old should be able to voice their concerns and experience as with whom they prefer to live and have visitation. We the people are obligated to protect our children. The court system has failed my child; she has now been exposed to experiences that will forever haunt her. Sanyi Law At age 14 in the state of Ohio, one should have a say in who they reside with and be protected from harmful visitation and exposures, before a magistrate or judge makes a decision pertaining to custody matters. Thanks.

  • ATV Access to Missisquoi and Lamoille Valley Rail Trails
    Vermont needs to allow ATVs access to the Missisquoi and Lamoille Valley Rail Trails to increase revenue in the northern part of the state. This will connect the ATV communities together allowing Vermont to have a interconnected trail system like Maine and New Hampshire. All ATVs granted access to the rail trails would have to have Trail Access Decal from VASA. If this is allowed it would increase community taxable revenue. Increase property Value and allow more Vermont citizens to enjoy the rail trails.

  • Accept the Hialeah High School girls water polo team’s appeal to disallow the 9th goal in the Reg...
    My teammates and I expected a just game, certainly our opponents from RE as well. Although we understand that referees can err, the evidence of the video shows that this mistake cost Hialeah the game and the path to the state championship. Sportsmanship and fairness should be exercised in all aspects of the game. Winning or losing a water polo game should be based on the team’s athletic abilities. The rules of the sport should be applied correctly. This situation must be resolved before May 10th., the date of the State Semifinals Championship.

  • English Electives for LW
    You may have heard the recent news that Lake Washington High School will most likely not have English electives as a course option for the 2019-2020 school year (Creative Writing, Poetry, Film as Lit, and many more). Creative English classes are important to the student culture at LW since they provide a safe and engaging space for expression. Please help us show the school administration that we have a voice and an opinion in this matter!

  • Drop all charges against No More Deaths volunteer Scott Warren
    Our son Scott is facing three federal felony charges for providing humanitarian aid to two migrants in the southwest borderlands of the United States. We’re asking you to sign this petition demanding that the US Attorney’s office drop all charges against him. He has been charged with two counts of felony harboring and one count of conspiracy for, according to the charging documents, "providing food, water, clean clothes and beds". If convicted, faces up to 20 years in prison. Each year persons fleeing poverty, oppression, and violence in their home countries make the desperate decision to confront Arizona’s western desert, one of the harshest landscapes on earth, in search of a better life. For many, the decision ends in a painful and lonely death in the remote reaches of the Sonoran Desert. No one deserves to die in the desert. No one deserves to go to prison for trying to prevent those deaths. The work of Scott and other humanitarian aid volunteers to alleviate suffering should be upheld as standards of virtue for all of us rather than punished by threat of prison. Help us show the USAO that there is widespread support for humanitarian aid work and that prosecuting our son is both morally wrong and politically unpopular. Scott’s devotion to his humanitarian work consistently inspires us. We first realized the extent of his commitment when we saw – as parents, felt – the pain he suffered upon encountering the bodies of migrants in the desert, and the deep sense of responsibility he feels to commemorate their journeys both as migrants and as human beings. That the USAO would seek to criminalize compassion and respect for human dignity is unconscionable.

  • Verizon: We Need A Second Cell Tower
    We, the people of Priest Lake, have cellular service so inadequate as to render phone calls unreliable from April through October, and virtually unusable data. People have been unable to call 911, which poses a risk to both residents and tourists. We are resolved that this situation needs to be rectified by placing a second cell tower in the area in order to provide bandwidth sufficient to meet the needs of Verizon customers and provide the service we pay for.

  • STOP DCFS CHILD EXPLOITATION
    This petition has been started to bring attention to the unchecked and criminal behavior experienced first hand from and within the DCFS SYSTEM in Louisville, KY. Below you will find the introduction email sent out to almost 100 news stations & politicians; only to reach deaf ears. Please take up my challenge to change this system tearing innocent families apart! This email and attached documents are being sent out to you in hopes of bringing to light a great travesty being perpetrated on hundreds of thousands of American families from every walk of life. Within these attached documents you will find my own eye witness account of the nightmare a DCFS cabinet member in Louisville, KY escalated to nothing short of HELL. The attached timeline will take you through two very similar incidents; with VERY different outcomes. The first a parent's resolution to a small storm and the second an elevation of said storm to hurricane with the inclusion/intrusion of DCFS. I am reminded of a very similar encounter; to which you will find within the timeline of these attachments. I was led to have the following discussion with my son. His father had yet again not visited him. And my son, through tears, continued to make excuses for his father's behavior and blame me for his father's actions. As my son sat beside me I looked him dead in the eyes making sure that he knew without a doubt I was serious; when I asked him to please stop making excuses for the man that was hurting my child. Because if the roles were reversed and he were not with me; there would be no excuse, there would be nothing, not hell nor hurricane that could keep me from him. So, in closing, I will once again implore your help to not only bring my son home. But, to begin to change the plague within our country that continues to tear our families apart. And know that, As for myself: I do not mind the heat nor have I ever been afraid of the rain! I will do everything within my power to bring my son and all those ripped from their homes unconstitutionally; back to the loving arms of their family. "The only thing necessary for the Triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." - Edmond Burke Sincerely An Unwavering Mother, LeaAnn Tate Trauma Nurse Author of Burdened Promises former Quality Care Staffing, CEO former Alliance Staffing, COO MOTHER OF TWO

  • Janet Napolitano – A lifelong career of abusing immigrants, workers, women, and tax payers.
    First, she partnered with human rights abuser Joe Arpaio as Governor of Arizona. Then as Secretary of Homeland Security, she built the deportation machine that Trump is now using to separate families from their children. Now as President of the University of California, she has allowed her negotiators to bargain in bad faith for two years with UC’s largest unions, leading to a series of disruptive strikes. She is continuing rather than reversing the trend of rising gender, income, and racial inequality and privatization at UC. She has overseen an increase in outsourcing of jobs to private interests with links to UC executives and an ongoing attack on working standards. She is sacrificing the world-class education, research, and healthcare at the UC by putting the interest of UC executives and their partners in private industry – some of whom make more than $1 million annually – over those of front-line workers. Enough is enough! The University of California is a public institution, not a slush fund for UC executives and regents
