NORTH CAROLINA NEEDS EXPANSION: More than half-a-million North Carolinians would gain quality, affordable healthcare that they need, especially for substance use disorders or chronic conditions like diabetes. The Expansion would inject billions of dollars back into the state to provide more coverage for more people while protecting families from medical debt and bankruptcy. click on http://www.actionnc.org/expandNC

The purpose of this would be to show Riot, the owners of League of Legends, and whomever else it may concern all the interest (if any) of an animated League of Legends Series. I had sent Riot support a message asking why they hadn't already done this and what it would take to make this a reality. They said they weren't sure. I asked what if enough people showed interest, for example, something that had a million signatures of people that would be very interested in them pursuing this. I was told, that's something that they would have to take very seriously and would probably help to get that achieved. So here we are; let's see if there is as much interest as I think there is seeing as the hype towards each new animated short they put out is usually very high.

Because IDIOCRACY is actually more relevant to our times than the actual State of the Union address.

We all use Amazon. The Amazon name is ubiquitous. But Amazon's discarded boxes are ubiquitous too. There is an unnecessary waste of boxes (and inside packaging) that comes with Amazon's shipments. Many items in boxes are not breakable and can be shipped flat in smaller recyclable envelopes. The sum total of the time and cost to all of us to recycle Amazon's boxes is fantastic and an environmental burden.

So no one will watch the President if he does not open the government.

The entire country is being affected by this completely unnecessary shut-down, and the longer it lasts the wider the damage. We should support those being most grievously affected-- federal government and contract workers. All citizens can demonstrate support for these individuals by participating in a national strike and by putting pressure on their representatives, particularly on their Senators.

I am asking federal and state legislators to take action to address Facebook's discriminatory practice of bias against Minority Communities (People of Color, Women, and the LGBTQ). Facebook's employees consistently block and censor facebook participants that post comments that make Christian, White, Males, with right-wing political leanings uncomfortable. These comments are consistently tagged with being against community standards, yet when a second review is requested the second reviewer reposts the comment and restores the commenters account access. If the poster does not request a review, which is often the case the commenter is unnecessarily denied account access In effect, facebook's employees with the lack of oversight by executive management have created "jim crow" practices to silence the voices of Minority Communities on social media. I and others have been repeatedly censured, blocked, or have comments removed simply because facebook's employees are uncomfortable with comments that address and call out racism, the criminality of the current administration and the privilege and entitlement White, European-Americans in the USA. On December 23, I posted the comment " I look forward to the imprisonment of tRump and eventual execution for HIGH TREASON", after reading a second child had been died while illegally detained at the USA and Mexico border. My comment addressed this administration's possible treason, racist policies and incompetent execution of their duties. My comment was reported and the first reviewer stated it was against facebook's bullying policy and against community standards. My comment was based on the fact that execution is an accepted sentence for HIGH TREASON. At around 6:00 that evening I requested a secondary review. At a little past 11:30 pm facebook that night, I received an apology they got it wrong, they had reposted my comment and would restore my account access. My account was never restored because some facebook employees felt entitled to block my account. Everyday since 12/23/18, I requested through facebook's process that they need to again review their documentation and restore my account. Everyday for the last THIRTY DAYS my request was ignored. It was ignored because facebook's employees believe they are entitled to ignore citizens of the Minority Community, and especially Women of Color. AND KNEW NO ACTION WOULD BE TAKEN FOR THE CENSORSHIP OF A WOMEN OF COLOR BECAUSE THEY HAVE DECIDED TO SILENCE MINORITY VOICES! I want both state and federal legislators to review facebook's documentation for their review process, and resulting actions based on race, color, and orientation. Based upon my experience and anecdotal comments from others, "Minority" (Women, People of Color, and LGBTQ) communities are ''policed" at highers rates than right-wing, White, Males on facebook. The verbal abuse, slurs, threats, and stalking allowed by this group on facebook is against community standards yet consistently allowed after review by facebook employees. And too often, the reporter is provided with the glib suggestion by the facebook employee to "block" the commenter has become the standard mode or operation for when "Minorities" report posts on facebook. Please join me in ensuring Facebook is held accountable and their employees are not allowed to censor the voices of People of Color, Women and the LGBTQ community to enforce a Right-wing propaganda agenda. If you have also been subject to their employees sliding scale of review please share your story with your legislators BELOW IS MY DOCUMENTED REVIEW BY FACEBOOK ON 12/23 Your reply Dec 23, 2018 You let us know you don't think your post should be deleted. We're reviewing your comment Dec 23, 2018 Someone will be taking another look at this post. Your comment is back on Facebook Dec 23, 2018 We're sorry we got this wrong. We reviewed your post again and it does follow our Community Standards. We appreciate you taking the time to request a review. Your feedback helps us do better.

Because the only way to get their attention is to NOT give them the attention they crave. Maybe then we can open the Government back up and stop using furloughed workers as hostages!

Villas Property Management, There has been a sharp increase in car break-ins in our apartment complex during the past few months. The residents of Villas at Oakwell Farms pay to live in a gated community with a security guard with the belief that our property, ourselves, and our loved ones will be safe. Since the car break-ins have increased, the Villas has provided no response to how safety measures will be improved to prevent future break-ins from occurring. We believe this inaction is negligent especially since reports of theft have been increasingly reported to the Villas management. We, the residents, demand: 1. A meeting for the entire apartment complex that addresses the following: a. Inform residents of all security issues that have occurred in the past 12 months: car vandalism, car break-in, property damage, theft, burglary, and assault and the steps the Villas has taken to address these security issues. b. Inform residents about security measures the Villas will take including but not limited to: i. Having security guards make hourly rounds around the entirety of the apartment complex ii. Installing two security cameras per building iii. Hiring another security guard, outlining their hours on duty, job description, and frequency and areas of patrol iv. Timely address of broken gate issues and notifying residents via email or text when the gate is malfunctioning so they can take actions to protect themselves and their property If preventative measures do not take place within a month, we demand that our rent is decreased by 10% because we no longer live in an apartment complex that can meet our security demands.

I am starting this petition because Burlington, NC doesn't have a street that honors Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I feel like this would show the community unity. We have a confederate solider statue in Graham, NC, so why can't we have a street named after such an honorable and astute man as Dr. King.

There is no reason except interest group driven domestic politics that Cuba should be the only non-conflict country in the world for which the US government requires its citizens to have a license to travel. While the door has opened considerably, too many Americans fear they do not qualify to explore Cuba independently or cannot afford the high costs of group travel. The emerging private sector in Cuba has been badly damaged by the decline during the Trump Administration of self-directed visitors from the US. Polls show as many as 81% of Americans, including 57% of Cuban Americans, favor normal freedom of travel. Bipartisan majorities in both the Senate and House are also in support, but it has been a low priority issue that faces opposition from a few powerful politicians. The removal of virtually all US Consular staff from Havana has crippled normal visa procedures for Cubans, requiring they make expensive and time-consuming trips to third countries that are uncertain of success. The US obligation to provide 20,000 migratory visas annually is far from fulfilled. Educational, professional and cultural exchange and business missions have become impractical for most Cubans who want to visit the US. Greater travel in both directions is essential for mutual understanding and trust building to achieve real normalization of relations.

Shooting's, stabbings right in our residential neighborhood. Our kids playing on the streets and drunks parking in front of our homes to avoid detection from police. Wandering our streets after closings causing disruption in the middle of the night. Gunfire so close to where our children play and sleep. This place must be closed. A residential neighborhood is no place for that kind of business.
