A little background on Ivan Ewing. Ivan is 35 years old and he comes from Nashville. He also has a beautiful 4-month-old baby that he has never met, Ivan Jr. I am his (wife, GF, fiancee) Heather; we have been together now for (years, months). When Ivan was arrested, he was charged with tampering with or fabricating evidence, possession/manufacture with intent to resell, criminal trespassing, and possession of drug paraphernalia. Ivan is pending an 8-year sentence for the crimes that were committed. He is fully aware of what he has done and that is was wrong. Ivan wants to do the right thing. He wants to live the right way and be there for his family and show them how life should be. Ivan wants to be the role model that his son deserves to have. Ivan Jr. is currently only 4 months and has never gotten the chance to meet his daddy, not to see or be held and loved by his dad. Ivan Jr has been through a lot since he was born. Ivan Jr was born prematurely. They had to do an emergency C-section to get him out because the labor cord was not in the right place. They believe that it is possible that he may have had a stroke before he even came out. He cant hear and has only partial eye sight Baby Ivan will have to have surgery to repair a bulging part of his brain. He has alot of medical needs and needs both of his parents to help care for him I want more than anything for Ivan Jr to know his daddy and for his daddy to know him; to be a part of Ivan Jr's life, to help raise him. I know typically family isn't taken into consideration with the deciding vote. I completely understand that; I just ask that you try and take us into consideration. Ivan Jr and I are currently living out of a family shelter, trying to get back on my feet with our son who needs special nurses and around the clock care. This is very difficult for me as I am doing this all on my own. I don't have family to help and nowhere else to turn. I didn't want to live on the streets, especially with our son; not to mention the special treatment our son needs. This isn't something easy to admit but I can't do this on my own. I am aware of his actions and I know what he did was wrong. However, I have seen so much of a change already in him. I am not asking for sympathy, I just ask that you take us into consideration as you decide whether or not he should be paroled.

I am personally affected by this issue, given that I am a future educator and will surely be working with kids who have disabilities. This issue affects everyone because if we are not inclusive as a society we are missing out on different perspectives and experiences that people with disabilities bring to the table. I hope that by creating this petition the state of Texas will begin designing and redesigning play-spaces with all children in mind.

This petition seeks to preserve this open acreage where Bend area residents currently hike, bike or just walk, rather than see every such property be turned into real estate developments. This affects our quality of life, which is the very reason so many have moved to the Bend area in the first place. We need such places close to our homes to go for walks, enjoy exercise, enjoy undeveloped, open land we can walk to after work, or on the weekends with our families, without having to drive for half an hour to get there! And there has been so much development in Bend, that we now have to speak out to preserve what we have.

My son is a special education student at Niwot Elementary. The Special Education Facilitator helped him, and many other students, through the long and arduous process of getting an IEP (Individualized Education Plan). The Special Education Facilitator supports the school and special education team by working directly with children who are having behavioral and/or emotional struggles. The work of the Special Education Facilitator position is not going away, it is being pushed on to the remaining special education team who have their own responsibilities to attend to. This cut will have a huge impact on all students and staff at all SVVSD schools.

I have seen a multitude of Confederate flags ammoung our community, and they should not be allowed to serve as a respresentation in our society.

Local officials need to know that Megan's Organic Market is your preferred provider for medical cannabis.

I am making this petition because Marvel horrible to pull this on us, and the fact the school gets no time to mourn for all the lost is just uncalled for.

Our 501 c3 non-profit, based in Danville CA, called Transition Express Inc believe WE CAN DOUBLE THE NUMBER OF STATES with CCA LEGISLATION and trend towards 34 STATES with this legislation to HAVE RENEWABLE POWER GO NATIONAL. We need governors to be leaders on this. There are 3 NEW SCIENTIFIC STUDIES OUT in March/April 2018, documenting our accelerating climate change. They document the 'Jet Stream Slowing Down' (Mann study/Penn State), 'Mother Nature Going Out of Sync' (Kharouba study/Univ of Ottawa) and 'Accelerating Melting of Glaciers' (Winski study/Dartmouth). We need to accelerate RENEWABLE POWER to counteract this most CONCERNING TRENDING TOWARDS CLIMATE CHAOS. GOVERNORS: we need your commitment to RENEWABLE POWER, NOW.

This petition is about bringing environmental change while helping stop the unethical attack of industry on communities of color. As an Environmental Student also interest in Human Rights Abuse, I have created this petition to urge Congress to make greater efforts in stopping not only environmental abuse but environmental abuse specifically targeted at Non-White Hispanic communities, a blatant human rights abuse. -Climate Change effects low income and communities of color disproportionately greater than that of non-white Hispanic communities. - hazardous waste sites and industrial facilities are located more frequently in communities of color -children of color are more likely to be affected by lead poisoning Articles Cited Where you can also learn more... https://www.americanprogress.org/issues/race/news/2016/04/25/136361/5-things-to-know-about-communities-of-color-and-environmental-justice/ http://nationalhumanitiescenter.org/tserve/nattrans/ntuseland/essays/envjust.htm

My daughter has been the target of racially discriminatory, gender degrading, belief insulting harassment by the same student who has spewed hate speech at her twice in the past year. I will not allow it to happen for a third instance. My child and all children deserve to feel safe, supported, and equally important in school. We must demand accountability from our school system to ensure their policy is put into ACTION.

Safe Bicycling- we need our own safe lanes, green-ways and safe alternate transportation. Also, Ryan Cuason the vision teacher that hit me should be fired.

Maine has reduced the time to bring conviction for sexual assault from 10 to 8 years. Sexual assault is committing trespass which is covered under due process in the Constitution. Statutes of Limitations serves to violate this civil right of due process.
