My grandson Christopher Salters (Chris) was direct filed into the adult court system. The prosecutor direct filed him without, it seems even considering the fact that my grandson has had two (2) traumatic brain injuries and he has been diagnosed with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), he also suffers from depression and at times has had suicidal tendencies. My grandson was hit by a car, while riding his three-wheeler, in March of 2017. The impact was very intense, my grandson was thrown in the air and flipped three times in the air, before landing on his head, he was not wearing a helmet. Chris has had several surgeries on his brain. He was not expected to live and if he lived, he could be a vegetable or remain in a child-like state of mind. However, God heard our prayers and brought Chris back to us. The Chris we welcomed home after the accident was not the same Chris that we knew before the accident. Chris remained at times, child-like, acting on impulses, becoming depressed, then hyper-active, easily frustrated, sometimes not understanding what we were saying, he would blurt out inappropriate words or comments. His mother Lakesha Robinson, talked to him about the words he used that were not appropriate and tried to give him directions on how to behave. However, I could tell that he really couldn’t control what he was saying. Later he would apologize and tell us he didn’t understand why he was talking like that. Chris doesn’t understand the effects of injuries to his brain. With all the emotions and turmoil going on in his mind, he still dreamed, trained and planned on playing sports in high school and getting a job after school. Chris was training, preparing to play high school football, months after he returned home after suffering two (2) traumatic brain injury. Chris was trying very hard to lead a normal teenage life. However, Chris began having terrible headaches and he would faint or pass out at times. The doctor prescribed him pain medications. Sometime later, Chris began to get arrested, he was in and out of court and the juvenile detention center. I believe, that like his outburst, just as Chris couldn’t control the inappropriate words coming out of his mouth, he couldn’t control his actions and acting on impulses and fear. Chris was charged as an adult after a school staff member found a gun in his book bag. He didn’t threaten anyone with the gun, he never displayed the gun. I don’t know all the details about this case. The school never informed us that Chris had been in a fight the day before this incident. But I do know that Chris never had issues like this before the accident. We need help, I am reminded of a scripture in the bible in Isaiah 6:8: it says, “Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying,” “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I, send me!” We Need Help, We Need, Someone, Somewhere to Stand Up and Say, “. Lord Here am I, Send Me I’ll Go” I’ll help Chris get the Medical and Legal help he needs. Thanks for taking the time to read and sign this petition, God Bless You.

Healthcare in Ohio has many sides, and all sides matter. Out of every 10 Ohioans without healthcare, 4 work fulltime, 2 more work at least part-time. That is 60% of uninsured Ohioans that have a job! What, in the Ohio Senate, is your plan to fix this NOW?

Trump has gone too far. 1.) We can't have a president with an enemies list. We must protect those that have security clearance. These patriots are protecting our nation. 2.) The press is not the "enemy of the people".

I’m starting this petition because it is wrong for a sports team that the entire state of Georgia cares about to come out in favor of a candidate for governor, especially one as divisive and seemingly bigoted as Brian Kemp. Do the Atlanta Braves want to support an anti-immigrant candidate ? An anti-LGBTQ candidate? A candidate who does not support common sense gun laws? Send the Atlanta Braves a message: Atlanta does not support Kemp, and they shouldn’t either.

The so-called opioid crisis is not being fairly and fully defined or properly addressed. As a result, many responsible people are being labeled as addicts and are denied the pain medication they need for chronic pain. The chronic pain population is being penalized because doctors are being threatened if they "OVER" prescribe. Non-pain specialists should not be allowed to dictate to and control those who are suffering from pain that can only be relieved by opiates.

My family draws our household water from the Coconino Aquifer, which is at risk unless the ADEQ effectively regulates toxic flowback and brine in waterways, wells and aquifers. Community health should not be jeopardized for the convenience of industrial wastewater producers.

Block Island’s groundwater supplies are finite, irreplaceable, and essential to the town’s quality of life and economic well being. Block Island also prides itself as a hub for forward thinking and preserving its robust ecosystems. The senseless use of lethal environmental toxins should be stopped in order to protect these irreplaceable resources that sustain Block Islands ecosystems and inhabitants. In recent days, San Francisco jurors ruled that Roundup - the most popular weedkiller in the world - from the same department as Agent Orange and the Terminator Gene in GM food, gave a former school groundskeeper terminal cancer. They awarded him $289 million in damages. This former groundskeepers victory could set a massive precedent for thousands of other cases claiming Monsanto's famous herbicide causes non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The significance of this case not only exposes the dangers of Roundup and other potentially dangerous (Glyphosate formulated) pesticides, herbicides and fungicides used on our gardens & lawns and in our GMO foods, but it is also an opportunity for the Block Island community to become more aware of its use at the expense of exposing these toxins to our children and pets, our neighbors, our water systems & soil microbiome, as well as to the insects that are vital to Block Islands ecological health. There are many studies that suggest that Glyphosate (alone) in is not dangerous, and there are many studies that suggest it is dangerous. Very few studies have been conducted using Glyphosate in formulations such as Roundup and the illustrate an even uglier toxic stew. Sadly, we cannot rely on the biases and pseudoscience of the studies being published. Monsanto (Bayer) and our government agencies are not our leaders in advocating for our health and the health of our environment. For example, most studies use Glyphosate (alone) in their experiments - You might find that you have this active ingredient that appears nontoxic - but that DOES NOT MEAN that the commercial formulation (co-formulants that fly under the regulatory radar) is also nontoxic. We all know that combining and mixing chemicals can make a toxic stew. Furthermore, other ingredients in products like Roundup are trade secrets and unavailable for inspection. According to the Journal of Entropy (Jan, 2013), Glyphosate (alone) enhances the damaging effects of other food borne chemical residues and environmental toxins. The negative impact on the body is "insidious" and manifests slowly over time as inflammation damages cellular systems throughout the body. There is growing evidence that GMO foods are the culprits in the destruction of our intestinal microbiome which leads to gut permeability. Consequences are most of the diseases and conditions associated with a Western diet, which include gastrointestinal disorders, obesity, diabetes, heart disease, depression, autism, infertility, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, and a host of other autoimmune diseases. The Journal of Entropy also explains the documented effects of Glyphosate and its ability to induce disease, showing that Glyphosate is the “textbook example” of the disruption of homeostasis by environmental toxins. We need to stand up to to these companies and government agencies and say no to dumping poison into our systems and say yes to keeping the health of our soil and water systems as healthy as possible. We are asking that you place an island-wide ban on the senseless use of all Glyphosate containing formulas that gradually and inevitably destroys otherwise healthy systems. Links to understanding the damaging affects: https://jacquithurlowlippisch.com/tag/glyphosate-map-lake-okeechobee/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4808927/ Conclusion from this study: Up to now, endocrine-disrupting effects of pesticides have been studied mostly based on tests on their declared active ingredient. Here we report for the first time that, below their toxicity thresholds, the co-formulants, generally classified as inerts and kept confidential, act as endocrine-disrupting chemicals at levels up to several hundred times below the level at which the declared active ingredient demonstrates the same activity. Glyphosate is never used alone, but always with its co-formulants. Thus the physiological effects of co-formulants should be more thoroughly tested and declared. We also recommend that the calculation of the ADI for pesticides should be based on toxicity tests of the commercial formulations rather than solely the declared active ingredient. Countries that have banned or placed restrictions on the use of glyphosate: Germany France Belgium Bermuda Colombia Netherlands Sri Lanka El Salvador Saudi Arabia Kuwait Qatar Bahrain Oman United Arab Emirates Argentina Australia Brazil Canada Denmark England Greece Italy Luxembourg Malta Scotland Slovenia Switzerland In Connecticut: Branford Greenwich Manchester Cheshire Watertown Woodbridge Roxburg In Massachusetts : Marblehead Warwick Wellesley There's a saying -- If something is not eating something else in your garden, then your garden is not part of the ecosystem.

Use of single-use plastic bags have severe downstream impacts - affecting both human and marine life. Newtown is trying to pass its own single-use plastic bag ban, and without the support of the residents here, it would be hard to pass a ban.

Twitter Suspension Here’s my Story and a copy of my appeal. If YOU are #RESISTANCE and have been SILENCED BY TWITTER, then WE NEED TO ACT! @JACK, Twitter.com runs an organization WITJOUT CUSTOMER SUPPORT!!

I (the American people) want to know the truth about the President's racism, misogyny, and xenophobia. If recordings exist from out takes, rehearsal footage, or edited content regarding the President's comments, the American people deserve to know.
