Residents of the Twin Oaks, Brighten Lane, and Oak Creek Canyon Communities are concerned that 50 units on a 1.7-acre parcel of land will increase our low-density population, dramatically increase traffic in an already congested area, which will lead to more accidents, injuries, and potential fatalities.

Those in Congress do not make enough money to be millionaires. There seems to be quite a few and their excessive monies should be investigated.

Durham Bus Company has failed to fulfill the obligation of its contract for many years. This inability to provide basic bus services to the Mount Pleasant school zones is greatly disrupting the education of our students. Late and or no-show buses have created a stressful and hectic environment for families all over the county. It is estimated that over 1000 families have chosen to not use the bus service at all even though they would like to. This has resulted in a massive traffic issue in the Park West, Dunes West, and Carolina Park area. Many families do not have the option to drive their students to school, especially with a last minute notice. This causes parents and students an excessive amount of stress twice a day. The community has exhausted all effects to aid the bus company in solving this issue. Parents have organized several attempts to reach out to CCSD and Durham Bus Company, to offer parent support and professional advice as well as problem-solving strategies. Durham and CCSD have failed to collaborate with parents on this pressing issue. We are hereby requesting that CCSD revoke the contract with Durham Bus Company on the grounds that the basic needs of the contract have not been met. Numerous families report only receiving on-time bus service 3 times a week. If parents choose to drive the students after waiting at the bus stop for an extended amount of time, the student is given a tardy due to the bus company's incompetence. On many occasions, parents are dealing with multiple "no-show buses" and must scramble to drive students to multiple schools. Students are overwhelmed with the stress of not knowing if they will have a bus to take them home. Although some of the time a bus returns late, this often causes the students to miss out on valuable education time. This has effects on before and after-school activities as well. We parents and students find Durham Bus Company and the Charleston County School board incompetent in the area of transportation. Durham and CCSD have continued to blame the issue on a lack of drivers. This is not solely the cause. Inadequate management has set a standard of incompetence. Drivers have reached out to parents explaining that the buses are unreliable and unsafely mismanaged. Drivers who work multiple jobs and drive from a great distance, broken down busses, and extra routes have caused some drivers to lose their primary jobs. Durham Bus Company continues to recruit from the same demographic, despite recommendations to alter their hiring strategies to local retirees and churches and organizations in Mt. Pleasant. Under the current contract, Durham Bus Company is obligated to have a 10% backup staff available for sick or late drivers. This has not been met in years, as far as we can tell. It is our understanding that CCSD has been withholding funds from Durham due to this lack of service. No explanation as to where those funds have gone has been made available. Parents spend countless hours calling and emailing in an effort to solve this ongoing crisis. Many of our students will be of driving age soon, yet overcrowded schools lack adequate parking and our children are not likely to obtain a parking pass, leaving the bus as the primary option. Parents have stressed that the bus issue has affected their own employment status as well. Our families deserve better than this. The only alternative solution that we find acceptable is for Mount Pleasant to be removed from the existing contract and a new contract with an alternative bus company be established. If an alternative bus company is not willing to accept a contract with Mount Pleasant on the grounds that CCSD busses are inadequate, then those busses should be sold or relocated to other areas with lower student demand. This would allow for a new contract with a competing company to supply our growing Mount Pleasant with drivers and buses. We are asking for this new contract to be in place before the end of the 2018-2019 school year. Please support our students and families.

Bicycling in Greensboro (BIG) is starting this petition because bicycling is an integral part of our community. The City of Greensboro has an obligation to provide people with the safest conditions possible on public roads, regardless of their mode of transportation.

As Associate Dean of Student Life at Rhode Island College and Advisor of the Student-Parent Association, I have seen students struggle to balance paying for child care and taking classes - many of them end up dropping out or taking longer to graduate as they have to go part time or take a few semesters off. Rhode Island College currently has approximately 500 students with children, some of whom could benefit from the Child Care Assistance Program. By enabling these students to continue their studies and graduate, we are helping ensure students are able to support themselves and their families now and in the future.

Our right to vote is fundamental to our democracy -- but right now, it's in jeopardy. The Voting Rights Act, one of our nation’s proudest civil rights achievements, used to protect us from targeted voter suppression laws. States and counties with a history of discrimination had to pre-approve any changes to their voting rules with the Department of Justice -- which stopped thousands of dangerous provisions from taking effect. But the Supreme Court gutted that pre-clearance requirement in 2013 -- inviting opportunistic politicians to attack voters’ rights, pass new laws that would have never stood up to review, and make it harder for Americans to vote. We’ve especially seen the impacts of this decision in states like Georgia, where voter suppression efforts plagued the 2018 election. Congress must use its legislative power to remedy the Supreme Court’s decision and pass the Voting Rights Advancement Act -- a new, updated Voting Rights Act that protects every eligible American’s right to be heard. Add your name and demand Congress take a stand for voters.

We are drowning in medical debt. It effects our credit, and we have to decide to pay medical bills or other bills and it's not fair. We have insurance, it just doesn't cover much of anything. We pay most out of pocket. Help struggling families!!

we want animation 2 and the kids in animation would very much like animation two next year. The look on our faces will be awesome.

I have been volunterring for over 10 years doing legal research analysis for those WRONGFULLY CONVICTED , counties in New York state ( and across the country) that have CONVICTION INTEGRITY UNITS assist in getting the innocent exonerated. We need to make it MANDATORY for ALL NEW YORK STATE COUNTIES to have this UNIT as many counties have District Attorney's for decades that can compromise Wrongful Conviction Cases. PLEASE SUPPORT

We've made numerous trips down to Washington, DC over the years to fight for 9/11 victims and their families. Even though the experience is exhausting and infuriating—emotionally and physically—we keep fighting for the 9/11 responders and survivors in the Health Program who are in all 50 States and in 434 out of 435 Congressional Districts. The number of people coming forward with illnesses and cancers related to the exposures to toxins at Ground Zero grows every single day. Nearly every other day another 9/11 responder or survivor reportedly dies from a 9/11 associated cancer. As the consequences of these attacks grow so too do the costs which are taking a significant toll on the current funding for the victims of this tragic day. Chronic diseases like asthma, obstructive pulmonary disease, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and cancer continue to plague those who were exposed to the many toxins and carcinogens on 9/11 and in the weeks and months after. Currently more than 45,000 people who are in the World Trade Center Health program are suffering from at least one certified 9/11 condition caused by the toxins at Ground Zero, the Pentagon and Shanksville crash site—a large percentage have multiple conditions. It is Congress’s responsibility to provide the Victims Compensation Fund with all the funding needed to make sure that 9/11 responders and survivors get the help they need and deserve. The new bipartisan bill "Never Forget the Heroes: Permanent Authorization of the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund," may be one of the few bipartisan bills that can pass Congress this session—and we don't have time to sit around playing political games. This is not a partisan political issue. We will talk to anyone—anywhere—anytime—to make it clear that our loyalty is to those who sacrificed so much for their communities. We ask so much of our Nation’s first responders and volunteers—from firefighters to disaster response volunteers. Let us not repay their selflessness with apathy. Sign the petition. Demand your members of Congress vote to support the bill. We need your support, energy, and love!
