Verizon has filed an application (Silvertail) to place antennas on top of the Kings' water tower, which is a prominent feature of our landscape. The tower can be seen from Kings Hwy as people travel into the historical Sugar Loaf Village, from Knapps View, Derose La., Pewter La., Well Sweep, Bellvale, Sugarloaf Mtn Rd., White Oak, Lake Station Rd., Ridge Rd., Silvertail Rd, Hambletonian Rd., Skyview Rd., West Meadow Way Rd. and in Warwick - Evan Rd., Helene Rd., Mila Rd., Evan Rd. and Darin Rd. Verizon has better choices than to mar the scenic landscape by placing antennas on this landmark.

The Port Authority of NY & NJ is governed by a 12-member Board of Commissioners. The governors of NY and NJ each nominate six state residents. Four other counties have representation on the board right, but no resident of Hudson sits on the board. The Port Authority has no greater impact in NJ than it does right here in Hudson, which hosts six of seven of NJ's PATH train stations, both major tunnels, Port Jersey, Port offices at 2 Montgomery Street in Jersey City, and the JSQ transportation hub. Please join this call to Governor Murphy to fill this new vacancy with a Hudson resident! Please sign and share. (Read more: http://s.nj.com/UmO4WZD)

A lot of janitors across the nation are disrespected and underpaid. Help the janitors feel good about themselves, and sign the petition.

I am heartbroken that the Brooklyn Botanical Garden has practically erased it's free admission hours. My high school students used to go after school on Tuesdays to sit under the cherry blossoms. Families used to spend Tuesdays, and Saturday mornings wandering the paths, their children delighting in wonders we city folks can't normally access. We have to raise our standards; it is not okay for our cultural institutions to be available only to the economically privileged. When I was a kid, the garden was free to all, every day. My mother still remembers the day, right after they began charging, that a big family turned away in disappointment, unable to afford entry. Free hours only on a Friday morning mean that no working person can go, and no young people can go. This is unacceptable! I have lived in Brooklyn my entire life, and been a member of the garden for the last four years. It is one of my favorite places. And I miss the sweetness of the Tuesday scene when the garden filled with families, youth, couples on dates. This is a plea to fix this wrong immediately; please BBG, be the community resource you are meant to be. Do not participate in discrimination!

Defer for 12 months from the most recent contact a man who has had sex with another man during the past 12 months. Defer for 12 months from the most recent contact a female who has had sex during the past 12 months with a man who has had sex with another man in the past 12 months. These are the rules that stopped me, a gay man, from saving babies and victims' lives. We need to abolish these rules and live in a world where everyone can give blood no matter what sexual preference or gender! Blood is given based on your blood type, not what you like.

My brothers and I came to this country as little kids over 20 years ago. This country has been our home. Now my brothers, my only siblings, have been deported. My family misses them, and we need them back home. ICE instills fear in every community. They picked up my brothers at their home and work, told them everything would be OK, and then left them across the border after taking their passports and bank cards. We cannot let ICE win. Please help us #BringEddyAndJustinoBackHome!!

Between 1880 and 1946, twelve black women in Georgia were either lynched, shot, or burned alive for crimes they didn't commit. These "crimes" range from simply knowing about a murder to having grievances about the lynching of another person. We encourage you to sign the petition to erect a memorial in honor of these innocent lives lost to the barbaric agenda of racism because they should not be forgotten in our history. Georgia is a state that should be conscientious of our mistakes and should seek to reflect on these instances and rectify the pain of the past.

THIS IS OBVIOUS AND SO INGRAINED IN AMERICA WAY BEFORE ALL THE VICTIMS & THEIR FRIENDS WERE BORN. IT IS JUST THE WHITE NOISE OF THEIR AMERICAN LIVES! KIDS NEED TO TURN TO THEIR FRIENDS AND SAY STOP THE VIOLENT GAME PLAYING. ANGRY AND BORDERLINE KIDS FALL EASILY INTO EXPRESSING DESPAIR WITH WHAT THEY HAVE BECOME EXPERTS AT. POWER. I NEED MY POWER!!!

We, the band students at Rush City High School, believe that Mr. Boneske is a qualified and skilled teacher who has greatly improved our band program. Over the last year, we have grown to enjoy and appreciate his knowledge If he is terminated, the band program may suffer from lack of participants.

Zundel's Road going to Mobile Bay in Point Clear, AL was blocked with a fence by the County Commission on April 24, 2018. My husband and I tore down the fence and deposited it in the Commissioner's office. We have stopped the Commission four times before but they continue to ignore the Alabama Supreme Court decision in (McPhillips v. Brodbeck) of 1971 that states you cannot block vehicular access on Zundel's Road.

As young people, we bear the biggest burden from gun violence, regardless of our political leanings. Bullets don’t discriminate between Democrats and Republicans when they are flying through the air in a school, a neighborhood, or a church. Oftentimes, it is our friends, brothers, and sisters who are hurt or killed when these bullets find their targets.Our generation is building a national coalition of old and young, rich and poor, across all races and ethnicities, who are fed up with the constant stream of tragedies that have occurred due to a failure of our elected officials to take action. We need these bills to be brought to the table to usher in new laws that defend our Constitutional rights, preserve our liberties, and protect the lives of our fellow citizens.

Because I have friends that are Filipinos. They would love to come over here to visit. We Americans can go over to the Philippines without a visa. I think it would only be fair that the Filipino people can come to America without a visa as long as they have a passport.
