"The proposed rule would allow hunters to lure brown and black bears with bait, hunt black bears and their cubs using artificial lights, shoot bear cubs and wolf and coyote pups in their dens, and use dogs to hunt black bears. It would also allow hunters to shoot swimming caribou from motorboats." A 60 day public commet period begins Tuesday. Let Washington know this new proposal to lift this ban is inhumane and just plain wrong

The 5 rules to a good flag are: it should be simple, it should use meaning symbolism, it should use 2-3 basic colours, should not contain and seals or lettering, and it should be distinctive. The Maine flag violates the majority of these rules. It is hard to distinguish it from the majority of state flags, it has a seal and lettering, it uses a plethora of colours, and air is definitely not simple. The old flag is much simpler and will make our flag distinct.

As we approach October's contract negotiations with Amazon, there should be new additions to any contract or agreement between Amazon and the United States postal service. #1. During Sunday, all large packages should be taken to each customer's door with the exception of small packages or envelopes, which can be delivered to mailboxes/parcel lockers if said package fits. #2. During holidays that are recognized as official holidays where the postal service is not officially operating but packages are being delivered from Amazon, any and all regulars, RCA's, and ARCS who are required to report for duty should receive holiday pay equal to 1 1/2 times the normal pay rate for the holiday. #3. Priority, First Class packages should be optional to be delivered on Sunday in cases where it does not get delivered on the day prior due to extreme weather conditions or hazards beyond the carrier or the postal service's control. Thank you in advance.

I've heard from community members and activists about how this sheriff has defied SB54, declaring California a sanctuary state, by publishing the identifying information and discharge dates so that ICE can intervene before immigrants are released and start deporting them. He called the appointment of Judge Diana Becton, a woman of color, to the position of Acting District Attorney, "appointing her would be a slap in the face of law enforcement.' He has also banned CIVIC, a volunteer organization working in the ICE detention center, from their work in the jail, in retaliation for their reporting of abuse and medical neglect. He is running unopposed, largely because he intimidates potential opponents. Let's send a signal about our concern and opposition: Write in NO CONFIDENCE for Sheriff on June 5th.

Hilton has made good strides to eliminate one-time-use plastics and styrofoam, which are detrimental to the health of our planet and are filling up our oceans. Now it's time for them to take another step and lead the way in the hotel industry by replacing small, one-time-use plastic containers for items such as shampoo, conditioner, lotion, etc. with large permanent dispensers that can be refilled, cutting down on the amount of plastic waste in the world.

Representatives too often avoid constituents and just meet with donors and other big money people. If they are going to represent us, they need to hear what issues are important to us.

We, the 20% of the voting owners at Bay Island Condominiums, respectfully request that the Board of Directors of SIA, Sun Island Association hold a special meeting to conduct a vote as time is of the essence involving the issue of a contract under Chapter 718, Florida Statutes, the Florida Condominium Act, and Chapter 720, Florida Statutes, the Florida Homeowners’ Association Act. We believe the Board of Directors' vote to enter into a contract to change our current cable/internet vendor to one that requires Dish (Satellite) installation should have required a community vote of the 713 units at Bay Island since the Dish installation is a material change to a common area. One Board member has argued that said vote was to simply engage in entering into a contract for Cable/Internet Services. We argue that since the contract included the installation of Satellite Dishes, the common area rule applies. The Board has argued that the rule does not apply as Satellite Dishes had been on the premises at a prior time. However, no one can recall such time and no evidence has been supplied to support that fact. We request a vote from the Board to cancel the BroadStar contract. We also request to be heard to support arguments to reconsider all Cable/Internet options previously set forth by Spectrum including those that do not include the use of Fiber Optics as well as the renewal of the existing contract.

All residents of East Island will be directly impacted by a sewage pump failure.

The nonprofit SCRG realized that the New York City Council was one of a few agencies within city government that did not have an actual Community Affairs Bureau. To help serve the constituents with following areas: Community Affairs; Chaplains Unit; Community-Police Relations Unit, the New York City Council - Community Affairs Bureau was established as an initiative of SCRG and we need council members to recognize it as an initiative and support the initiative serving the constituents of the various council districts.

Saving lives is what this petition is about. Our legislators appear to be unwilling/unable to even take baby steps to protect Americans from our guns. Maybe they will see we mean business because we are sickened by the carnage even if they aren’t.

There are many Royal Caribbean cruisers that are disgusted with their new website. It is very frustrating to use. Would like it changed.

More than 300,000 people in Connecticut live in poverty, many of whom work minimum wage jobs. The current minimum wage in Connecticut is unacceptable. Sign this petition in order to get this message sent to Congress and have the minimum wage in Connecticut be raised to $13.
