Bazaar Cafe has re-opened and is applying for its Limited Live Performance (LLP) permit.

I've been personally affected by Grace. I am concerned that we cannot hear her.

Let's stop preventable accidents on this corner. Something needs to be done!

Scientists have proven that climate change is occurring quickly mainly due to human activity. According to some experts, we have only about 12 years before this change is irreversible. I am a senior citizen with no children, so I will probably not be alive to see the truly catastrophic effects of our current policies. However, I have witness the majesty of the Earth and its life forms. I don't want our planet to become uninhabitable to the living things that bring such beauty and meaning to our lives.

In October, 2018, I went to the emergency room and found out my court ordered health insurance was terminated by my former spouse in July. I didn't have the money to take him to court and didn't have the money to get the necessary treatment. I also started to receive letters from doctors that I had seen in the previous months demanding pay because the insurance payout had to be returned to my former insurance company. My situation and situations similar to mine are common. We can support the stabilization of families with Medicare For All.

We attempted to get a visa for Canadian theater artists to come to the United States to perform their award winning disability theater play "Crippled." Even with the support of Actors' Equity Association, the Canada Council on the Arts, academics and professors in the field, disability activists, and theater practitioners we were denied by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services. You can read their denial letter at http://www.theexit.org/uscis-denial-ltr-2-2-2019.pdf . US immigration policy for artists, as interpreted by USCIS, is unduly restrictive, does not protect the security of the US, and impedes international cultural exchanges. This petition seeks to create a clear and limited policy that would allow theater and other performing artists, who already have the legal right to be in the United States, to perform for a limited period of time.

I am fed up with having to stand at check out lines where these tabloids are staring me in the face.

This petition advocates the repeal or nullification of the electoral college, which is the reason Democrats lost the 2000 and 2016 election despite having 3.5 million more votes.

arcye viṣṇau śilā-dhīr guruṣu nara-matir vaiṣṇave jāti-buddhir viṣṇor vā vaiṣṇavānāṁ kali-mala-mathane pāda-tīrthe 'mbu-buddhiḥ śrī-viṣṇor nāmni mantre sakala-kaluṣa-he śabda-sāmānya-buddhir viṣṇau sarveśvareśe tad-itara-sama-dhīr yasya vā nārakī saḥ If one thinks that the worshipable śālagrāma-śilā is a mere stone, that the spiritual master is an ordinary human being or that a pure Vaiṣṇava preaching the bhakti cult all over the world is a member of a particular caste or material division of society, he is considered a nārakī, a candidate for hellish life. CC Antya 6.294 (Quoted from Padma Purāṇa) N.B. Nara-matir means literally “[ordinary] person-mentality” if we consider a Vaisnava or Vaisnavi guru or teacher to be an ordinary human being that is a hellish mentality and Jāti-buddhir means literally "birth-mentality” if we consider an aspect of a Vaisnavas or Vaisnavis material birth to be a disqualification, it is a hellish mentality. Females are also a material division of society. The malcontents against VDGs (Vaisnavi Diksha Gurus) say that the above does not apply to those born female, it only applies to those born male. Thus they consider the qualification for being a Vaisnava Mantra Diksha guru to be dependent on a customary or social convention i.e. that only dvija born males can be diksha gurus. Srila Prabhupada did not teach or agree to follow the caste and gender discriminatory rules given in those certain sastras which deal with hereditary, customary social or ecclesiastical conventions, as a basis for the purely spiritual position of Vaisnava Diksha Guru. Srila Prabhupada did not accept that the qualification to be guru is based on customary hereditary, ecclesiastic or social considerations. He tells us this clearly in the section defining Guru Tattva in Caitanya Caritamrta (the first chapter of Adi Lila teaches Gaudiya Vaisnava Guru Tattva): Śrī Jīva Gosvāmī advises that one not accept a spiritual master in terms of hereditary or customary social and ecclesiastical conventions. One should simply try to find a genuinely qualified spiritual master for actual advancement in spiritual understanding. CC Adi 1.35 purport Accepting a guru ONLY from a group of hereditary lines of dvija born male gurus is wrong as per this statement. Accepting a guru ONLY from a customary social group i.e. only (dvija) males is wrong as per this statement. Accepting a guru ONLY from an ecclesiastically approved group i.e. approved by a Church system (ecclesiastical convention means Church rules or GBC resolutions) is wrong as per this statement. One may accept a guru from one of the above groups, but one must not think that only those who are hereditary gurus, male gurus or Church approved gurus are the ONLY spiritually qualified persons to be guru. If one does then as stated above in the Padma Purana, he has a hellish mentality. This evil hellish mentality must not be allowed to enter ISKCON.

Establish minimum standards and requirements to be able to run for President, so unqualified people will not be able to run in the future.

Approximately 40 %of our country is being lied to daily. We need the Fairness Doctrine to expose these misinformed citizens to the truth.
