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.

Technology should serve the people and not oppress the people. The more you study smart meters, the more you will NOT want them on your house or in your state. Hi Smart meters are being rolled out despite being a class 2b probable carcinogen, causing heart arrhythmia, head ache, other health problems and invasion of privacy. Private military organizations and utilities were awarded 3.4 billion to implement smart meters and smart grid against peoples wishes and behind the false premise of "green". We should be able to choose if we want our privacy invaded and if we want to expose ourselves to carcinogens. This invades our Constitutional rights to privacy, liberty and life. That's why I signed a petition to President Donald Trump, Governor jay Inslee, The United States House of Representatives, The United States Senate, The Washington State House, and The Washington State Senate, which says: “We the undersigned citizens of Washington State are very upset at the idea of having smart meters imposed upon us. We have researched this new technology and now understand that it is not healthy. Indeed, given their inaccuracies and health risks these meters are more accurately called “dumb dangerous” meters rather than "smart" meters. Smart meters/smart grid is an assault on the health of Americans and an invasion of our privacy. People should be informed about the risks of having a smart meter.People should not be charged a penny to retain their health and privacy. That is extortion and should be punishable be jail instead of funded by our government! Public Utility Commissions (PUCs) and legislators across the country need protect our constitutional right to heath, life and privacy! Corporations should not be able to profit at the expense of public health or by trampling on our Constitutional rights!"

It is unacceptable that society continues to turn a blind eye to the systemic racism that exists in the criminal justice system. While most of us don't have a daily/active role in the criminal justice system, we do have a say on funding spent on prisons. I suggest we measure every dollar we spend on prisons and jails against every dollar we spend on education and prevention.
