After reading National Geographic’s issue about Planet or Plastic, I am striving to find ways to reduce the use of it. While it might be cheap, it is ruining the earth and marine life. Paper packing material also exists and is more environmentally friendly.

Since Congress and the president aren't protecting our vote, we demand Maryland replace Bytegrid. The FBI told Maryland that the state's voter registration platform was purchased by a Russian oligarch in 2015, without state officials knowing. The oligarch has known ties to Vladimir Putin, so we must replace Bytegrid immediately to protect our vote and assure no foreign meddling in MD and federal elections.

They are attempting to damage or destroy the investigation into the 2016 elections which have proven to be racked with criminal behavior up to at least the Trump family if not Donald Trump himself and likely includes some Assembly members and senators. We must protect the integrity of this investigation until it comes to its conclusion and all involved people are punished and if currently in office they are removed. We must protect our nation from all who wish to destroy it.

We are concerned the City of Decatur and Atlanta are not aware of the people of Winter Avenues concern regarding making Winter Avenue a through street to College Avenue. We are seeking to stop this action by getting everybody on the block to sign.

Because I don’t trust anything they say. Why would they travel all the way to Russia to discuss something that Putin and Russia denies even took place? We know they helped Trump right after he asked them to! The very same day he publicly implored Russia to interfere!

I have been stuck in a crap hole apartment for 6 years due to medical bills and unfair reletting fee from Spanish Oaks Apts who has fought me whole time from removeing from my credit, it doesn't look like a reletting fee so no one even with empicable work and renters history will rent to me asept one which crap hole is putting it nicely!! The living conditions have been hazardous to our health and has only added more health issues. If any one would take the time to leave there office and come see for themselves the condition of this property and do there job it would probably be comdemed!! From lies,false advertising, constant revolving door of unqualified manager s and maittance,to a owner transfer of one slum loard to another! Raw sewage every where that isn't properly cleaned or maitained to over flowing dumpsters, no working pool! Most apartments don't have A.C 's or heat, no hot water for weeks or months at a time. Broken or cracked windows and unsecured doors. Mold and foundation issues. Some people go week's and months without stoves and referators. Then if that's not enough than let's talk about how some people are nickled and dimed with high utilities bill that cost more than a 3 bedroom house and based off of lieing about sqft. and chargeing for minor's who are occiopent s. ( They should not be allowed to charge for anyone under 16) cause so have adults who aren't on the lease and don't get charged but, then you have a single mom with two kids trying to get by and by the time you pay 150 to 200 water bill there is nothing left to feed your kids!! I also believe that if people haft to go with out basics like hot water, electrical shorts , ac,heat,stove, referators,then they should get a discount for every month they went without! At this point they owe me a years rent for sure! No security lights, broken fence's, and broken security gates and no security which are all falsely advertised!!

My birthday wish as I enter my 62nd year takes one click but will have tremendous impact if enough of us follow through. I am asking my friends and family in Santa Fe, in New Mexico and around the world to send a strong message to the Mayor of Santa Fe and the City Councilors. The message is simple and universal. Support local youth, families and public institutions. Specifically, there are three policy areas that are of critical concern, and that will be voted on or addressed by council action as early as July 25th. Here is a little background. 1. The city council may be voting as soon as July 25th to move forward with a plan for developing the taxpayer owned property formerly known as the College of Santa Fe, which was also leased for a time to pricey, private, for-profit design colleges that failed and served very few local students. Despite the city’s claims of massive public participation in the planning process, only about 1200 people responded to their surveys. Of those only 17% were Hispanos, and only 6 or so were in Spanish. These were mostly the same people that attended the three public forums, and several dozen Spanish speaking families and children from a local soccer league that uses the facilities had to demand a space at one of the forums to even be heard. So the city is trying to move forward with less than 1% of the population participating in any meaningful way. This is not equitable, not democratic and not acceptable. The most important questions have not been addressed nor even asked. We demand that the process be stopped and a new one, led by community, be supported that first addresses the most critical questions. 2. Most of the new housing development that is being built is not affordable, is concentrated in district 3 and is devouring available open space without any plan for parks, recreation, commercial or civic spaces. There is also little thought to the impact on local schools, traffic, infrastructure and existing communities. We demand that new developments be accompanied by plans, developed by local communities, for all the areas of concern mentioned. 3. A common refrain in this administration's marketing of their plans, especially around housing and economic development, is that we need to “attract and retain” talented young people to Santa Fe. We find this insulting and dismissive of local youth, their families and the educational institutions, both public and private, that help to educate and prepare them. In fact, one of the most common suggestions for the College of Santa Fe property is to “attract” an institution of higher learning, preferably from California, to locate there. They have totally ignored and insulted our own Santa Fe Community College, which is actually already there, and the partnerships with New Mexican institutions represented by the Higher Education Center. This is part of a broader dismissing of local cultures and populations, except as objects for tourists to stare at or purchase, and will not be tolerated. We demand that the city invest in and support local youth, families and institutions. By clicking on the following link you will help send a message that local youth, families and communities should be the priority, that local wisdom should lead and inform decision making, and that we need to make decisions based on equity and inclusion. Thank you for helping with my birthday wish and please share with all your networks. Miguel Acosta

Mayor Rico Medina and Council Member Irene O'Connell have not acknowledge the need to review the TCP parking requirements. They have been asked by the public to take action. Without revisions our neighborhoods will become parking for future development projects. Council member Salazar asked the council to review the TCP at the last city council meeting. Council member Marty Medina and Laura Davis supported Mr. Salazar's request. The more support we get for this petition the more likely they will be to make the revisions. The TCP requires new development to provide 0.75 parking spaces for a studio apartment, 1 parking space for a 1 bedroom and 1 or 2 parking spaces for a 2 bedroom. The new construction at 406 -418 San Mateo Ave was approved and is being built with 86 apartments and 106 parking spaces. There are (2) studios, (43) 1 bedroom, (30) 2 bedroom, (3) 3 bedroom apartments and (5) retail spaces. The city waived the parking requirements for the retail. As a result, more than 30 cars will likely park on Taylor and Mastick Ave. The TCP calls for 1610 new residential units. If they do not revise the TCP, our neighborhoods will become the parking lots for the new development. Where will you park? Please email Mayor Rico Medina, Vice Mayor Laura Davis, and Council members Iren O'Connoll, Marty Medina, and Michael Salazar, at [email protected]. Ask them to listen to their constituents, not the wealthy developers. We must make them hear us. Please sign our petition. Please share our petition with 5 neighbors, asking them to share with 5 more. Thank you.

Onondaga County District Attorney William Fitzpatrick said Saccone was driving 86 mph at the time of the crash. 3 Young Adults lost their lives that night: Baylie C. Rose, 19 Michael S. Walker, 18 Samra Osmanovic, 20 Rose was driving a 2014 Chevrolet Impala south on Onondaga Road when she drove into the intersection of Onondaga Boulevard and Onondaga Road at about 3:40 a.m. Feb. 23, police said. Her vehicle was struck by a 2015 GMC Acadia operated by Saccone, police said. Rose and the two passengers, Walker and Osmanovic, were all pronounced deceased at the scene, police said. Saccone was seen fleeing the area and was apprehended by OCSD K9 unit at his mother's house right up the road where he was destroying evidence and hoped to evade capture because he was driving a rental car from a local dealership with dealer plates on it. Anthony Saccone 's family pleaded for donations via GoFundMe just 4 days after Saccone posted either a $250,000 bail or a $500,000 bond to secure his release from jail ahead of trial at his May court date. Since then Saccone has been seen at several local hot spots enjoying his freedom and his life while his victims are decomposing in the ground. That's not right... Pictures surfaced of him drinking and partying at several different locations thought CNY, which people who know Saccone are not surprised he shows no remorse and is living the same lifestyle he had before the crime. As of July 14th, Anthony Saccone is awaiting an October trial date and is free on $250K bail. This petition goes to all the Moms and Dads that had to bury their children due to Drunk/Ability-impaired drivers. Saccone lived here his whole life, his mother lives within walking distance of the scene. He deliberately drove 50+mph over the speed limit rushing to get home at 3:30 in the morning after receiving a call from his irate Baby Momma, probably about him being out drinking at 3:30 in the morning when he has his own kids at home. Defense lawyer William Sullivan argued that the murder charges should be dismissed as evidence shows that Saccone attempted to swerve around the time of impact, proving that he did not act with the depraved indifference required for murder. Of course he swerved; it's a natural instinct to avoid a collision and how do we know he swerved before the crash and he wasn't just reaching for his phone or too drunk to keep it straight between the lines. Saccone is facing up to 25 years to life in prison if convicted of murder let's sign this petition and get it in front of DA Fitzpatrick and Hon. Judge Doran. THANK YOU

I've started this petition because President Donald Trump has caused many families to be separated, other countries don't like him which puts our country at risk to be attacked, and President Trump has no filter on what he wants to say and acts on impulses. I have personally been affected by Donald Trump tearing apart families who have done nothing wrong, it is cruel and unfair to the children.

To save our beaches and keep the water clean and keep our families healthy!!

Food trucks are being asked to get permits/inspections from health departments and now fire marshals in every county/ territory/town in Virginia... This is costly for a tiny food truck vendor - specifically in the NOVA area (even DMV for that matter) who travels multiple zones for their business. For example, a NOVA food truck could go to Loudoun, Fairfax, Alexandria, Vienna, and Arlington all within a weeks time to vend food. For every permit - a great deal of time and money is spent (hundreds of dollars on each permit). The costs and bureaucracy involved are a heavy burden for the tiny food vendor - it set's up the small business to fail. We ask for 1 permit for the entire NOVA region that allows Food Trucks to vend freely. 1 permit that works for all fire marshalls and health departments across all zones. We need a universal code for the area that allows food trucks to do business across the region - without the worry of fines. (because they don't have this sticker for Arlington and this paper from Loudoun doesn't work in Fairfax etc... ) 1 Permit for the NOVA region eliminates multiple yearly inspections and costs. Please change the law and allow us to do what we do best - make delicious food affordable and easily available for the consumer.
