NOBODY comes here to see trash on the beach, and I seriously doubt that any locals like seeing it either. We can do better!

Anyone who knows me knows that my furbaby Mabel is the love of my life and my reason for living. My mother has decided to be a horrible person and hold her hostage from me regardless of offering money, pleading, and begging for her to live with me. She knows full well that I have hand-raised Mabel since her first few weeks, feeding her, burping her, stimulating her bowel movements, and staying up all night with her and loving and cherishing her. My mother claims that I am not able to properly take care of her because "I don't have a real job or place to live," but I work in an animal clinic where I get free procedures and vaccines done and good pay, and I do have a place to live and I will soon be moving closer to work with my friends. The only reason my mother wants to keep her is out of spite and complete selfishness and disregard for her own daughter's mental health and happiness. By getting a good amount of signatures on this petition, I am hoping that my mother comes to her senses and simply surrenders Mabel to her real mother, me, or if she refuses, then I will have this petition as legal evidence for a lawyer, and maybe even a courtroom judge, that it is a widespread belief that Mabel is mine and belongs with me so we can both be safe, healthy and happy. Please show your support and sign, share, and boost my message. You have no idea how much I have missed her, my mother won't even send me pictures of her. What she is doing is cruel and unnecessary. She will never love Mabel as much as I do. Thank you for your time and support.

The Mayor of Ocean City, the Ocean City County Council, and most of us are in favor of green energy. However, when initiating a green project some common sense needs to be in place. The turbines initially proposed for Ocean City were 3 mega- watt units. They were 200’ tall from the water line to the hub with a 300’ blade diameter. The overall height from the waterline to the tip of the blade was therefore approximately 350’   The currently proposed turbines are 8 megawatt units, they are 370’ tall from the water line to the hub with a 550’ blade diameter. The overall height from the waterline to the tip of the blade is therefore approximately 650’ - the height of the Washington Monument and more than twice the height of the tallest building in Ocean City. When a change of this magnitude is encountered, it is not unreasonable to expect the distance from shore would increase to ensure that the turbines will not be seen from the shore. These projects are being subsidized by Maryland electric consumers through a special fee added to your electric bill.  The current proposed field off the Maryland coast consists of 86 turbines constructed in 3 phases and extends the entire length of Ocean City, from the inlet to the Delaware line. Phase 1 is located 17 miles offshore, phase 2 is 15 miles offshore and phase 3 is 13 miles offshore. The current field off Delaware supported by the Maryland subsidy consists of 15 turbines. The location starts just north of the Town of Fenwick and runs to the indian river bridge. It is located approximately 19 miles from Ocean City. There are plans to construct 50-60 additional turbines in the northern portion of the Delaware lease area but these would not be subsidized by Maryland utility customers. There are many businesses that depend on the ocean view and there are many people who value the unadulterated, untainted view of the horizon, of the sunrises that the ocean shoreline bestows. The ocean has been there long before we walked this earth. It is one of the few untouched views that are left in this world. It would be a grave mistake to take that pure, unsullied view away for the sake of 20 years of “clean” energy. We should fight to keep our visual environment CLEAN as well. We can have the wind turbines and the view with a mere ten mile east movement of the turbines.   We the taxpayers are subsidizing the turbines that will cause the destruction of a view that is unparalleled and now it is time to stand up and demand that we, the people, are heard! We do not want to see the wind turbines. U.S.Wind and Skipjack make your millions, but put the turbines OUT of our sight. They can be green and also NOT seen!

Oklahoma is obviously the best state in our country. In honor of the Sooner State, we would like to change the name of the United States of America to Oklahoma.

I've started this petition due to the realization that overturning Citizens United may be a long way off, so in the meantime, I've been thinking on ways to approach it from the grassroots level. Personally, it is my hope that voters rediscover legitimate news sources, the art of having real conversations to solve real problems, and that social media rediscovers its civic duty.

Animals are being abused by genetic scientists. Not only are the animals suffering, but by consuming these genetically engineered animals you are subject to unknown viruses and illness-causing toxins. There is at least $3 million being put into these gruesome experiments, where is it coming from? No company or person has claimed to donate this money, the question lingers in my mind, "Could this be our money, used without our permission?" Our animals are in pain, we are in pain, our planet is in pain. Change is a ripple effect, someone has to throw the first rock. Be a part of the ripple.

Someone very close to me was violently raped and because the perpetrator got an attorney, he wasn't investigated at all. The rape kit is just sitting there, untested, and we are left picking up the pieces. I've spoken to many victims of rape who have been treated like they were the ones who were guilty while the perpetrators were treated with respect. I thought those days were over! Shame on Idaho and the Boise Police Department. These women want and need JUSTICE.

San Francisco just became the first major US city to ban fur! This is the precedent we need to take the fur ban global, and other cities and countries are already discussing passing this progressive law. Let's show support from around the world for a fur ban in the UK!

Parents and certain teachers have created issues within the McClave School District and presented requests/demands to the Board of Education. We would like to show our support of the current Administration and staff that have been the target of those demands/complaints.

On at least two occasions, President Trump has threatened to fire Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who is investigating Russian involvement in the 2016 election and related matters. Earlier this week, after the FBI obtained and executed a warrant to search the office and premises of Michael Cohen — Trump’s personal lawyer — Trump had a public tantrum in which he called the investigation “an attack on our country” and mused about firing Mueller. Amidst all the drama, one thing is certain: The President cannot be permitted to fire an independent investigator simply because the investigator is looking into allegations of misconduct by the president himself, or those close to him. That’s the pathway to authoritarian rule. The bipartisan Special Counsel Independence and Integrity Act would protect Mueller’s investigation and enable him to follow the evidence wherever it leads.

I am a citizen of North Carolina and I abhor the idea that my state is represented in the US Hall of Statuary by a white supremacist.
