Fighting For Our Community!We, as the people who have all in some way been affected by the past storm Matthew, know that we have yet to recover. We are all from the Columbus County area in some way, shape, or form. We know that currently the Town of Fair Bluff, NC has been devastated by the flood and has left what little the town has to ruins. Our youth (our future) has been left with nothing to be a part of....just something positive for them to be a part of so that their minds can focus on growing instead of mischief. We are a Non-Profit Organization designed to bring families together in the most peaceful way... LOVE. We currently have two youth basketball teams and a youth Kickball Team, which we have already started a kickball league in the area. Our main goal is to bring back the smiles and joy that you get when surrounded by family and loved ones. We always guarantee to provide a safe environment at all of our events, and this being our third year we have yet to have any incidents. We are currently fighting to be able to gain access to the basketball gym in Fair Bluff, NC, and right now it's not looking good. As you know, we have already had two SUCCESSFUL basketball tournaments there in the past two months. I am afraid that the Board Of Education is now trying to take that from us, stating the gym they have been using is no longer up to par for the public. We have contractors on standby and many other volunteers who are willing to do whatever work is necessary to address whatever the issues may be. This is an attempt to get your support and help us bring excitement back to our community, so will you stand with us?40 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jeremiah Shipman

Support "BREE'S LAW!"Our daughter Bree Moore was murdered by her boyfriend as a result of dating violence and we have made it our mission to make sure this doesn't happen to another young woman. We are about to lose the opportunity to formally name the 'teen dating violence and prevention education' our family advocated getting passed in 2015 in Alaska, as 'Bree's Law.' We are arming our teens with the knowledge to protect themselves from unhealthy dating relationships through prevention education, but we must reach their hearts in order to effect long-lasting change. Please help us in continuing to touch our kid's hearts with the sharing of Bree's story. We have the overwhelming support of 54 of the 60 legislators, but sadly Senator Kelly is blocking it from a vote. By signing this petition you are telling him to stop the abuse and allow a vote this 30th legislative session on HB-214 Naming Bree's Law.565 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Cindy Moore

Busing Children from Their Daycare to SchoolThis is to petition changes to the busing system in Orchard Park School District. Current policy is that the district will provide busing to and from a daycare facility within the boundaries of your child's elementary school. South Davis and Ellicott Elementary schools do not have a daycare facility within their busing boundaries. Thus we would like OP to provide busing for children from OP daycare centers to South Davis and Ellicott Elementary schools.126 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Natalie Burns

Allow the Russia Investigation to Proceed Without Congressional InterventionSample text that will accompany petition distribution to entities and individuals asking for assistance. Each will be customized. As one of North Carolina’s largest sports organizations, we respectfully ask that you bring pressure to bear against Representative Mark Meadows who is leading an initiative to impeach Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. Meadows and others are attempting to obstruct justice rather than let the investigation run its due course. Americans recognize that North Carolina duly elected Meadows; however, his behavior along with a few others is jeopardizing our Democracy. If President Trump has committed no crime, he has nothing to fear; however, if he has committed crimes, then he needs to go through a full investigation and the American people have the right to know. Your Representative does not answer to the American people. He answers to the voters of North Carolina. We are requesting your help as American citizens. Thank you!68 of 100 SignaturesCreated by S Lee Caudle

Help Kwaj Pets Fly!!United Airlines is keeping families that are relocating from Kwajalein Atoll (in the Republic of the Marshall Islands) back to CONUS from transporting their pets. Since most Kwaj residents only have one option for air travel, this is making it very difficult. Pets have been flying out to Kwajalein for years. Changing their rules doesn't make sense when Kwaj people have no other options for bringing a loved member of their family back with them. Please help convince United Airlines to make an exception for Kwaj families!!425 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Matthew Hess

Resignation for SCDC Director StirlingREMINDER: National Prison Strike August 21st -September 9th State and Federal Prisons. We are demanding the resignation of SCDC Director Stirling. There are many, many reasons and I am sure so much more than I list. First of all let me set the record straight...the incident that happened at Lee County Correctional Institute on April 15th and lasted throughout the night ending in at least 7 inmates deaths...this incident didn't have anything to do with phones or contraband, it was simply because they choose to mix rival gangs together in the same dorm. Why did it take 7 hours?! 7 hours to help the injured or even stop what was going on, because it was noted that when SLED arrived there was no issue with the inmates. No employee inside that prison even tried to take any kind of action. It has been known that these same CO's have hosted 'Gladiator Matches'. Where they set it up to watch the inmates fight to what potentially could be the death. As for the cell phones, Stirling happens to be hiding behind one (YES ONE) incident that happened in 2010; September 1st, 2010 actually, against a CO. Capt. Robert Johnson, who was ordered a hit on from a Cript gang member. Now before we go any farther with this... it is my understanding from a source that this all could have been avoided had Capt. Johnson not received money from a group of individuals for a "pack" he went and got, then giving it to another group of individuals...this causing the anger and having it directed towards him. So was it the cell phone or even gang member that was at fault for this...absolutely NOT, if Capt. Johnson chose to be crooked, then toy with the individuals money and pack. I call that instigating. Yet here he is blaming cellphones...the same cell phones he was helping bring into this prison. I understand being upset or angry, but this is a grudge for an incident that he instigated and happened almost a decade ago and it seems to be the ONLY incident you ever hear about from Stirling. You do the math. Ratio of cell phones confiscated versus attacks against officers involving cell phones.. Hundreds of thousands to 1 (ONE). Most of these men share their phones so others can call family members, to call family members and loved ones; they aren't fighting over them. If it weren't for those cell phones, this would have been swept under the rug, like many other incidents have. Which is exactly why Stirling is punishing F1, F3 and F5 dorms....because they leaked the information that has caused an avalanche of lawsuits, angry inmates and REALLY angry loved ones, on top of him The cell phone isn't the weapon...unless it is used to expose what conditions Stirling is having them live in and the real life inside the prison. There are incidents on many occasions involving inmates' deaths and how they are rushed off in a van before the ambulance even makes it there. One incident happened to be on Officers Appreciation Day. There was a stabbing, the man was quickly rushed off, leaving others to wonder what happened, where he went and whether or not he bled out. The prison doesn't have enough money to hire more employees (Yet the people that would work there, there is always a reason for them not to be hired) or pay employees more for their time but will spend millions to block cell service and now drones, or I don't know maybe, just maybe clean these crap holes up and make it suitable for people/ human beings to live in. Seems to me that Stirling has it all backwards... You were always taught never to bite the hand that feeds you, but Stirling you are starving each and every one of them... employees, inmates, families, loved ones and every single person that has to cover up YOUR mistakes... and I hate to tell you but you're gonna get BIT! Moving along and again, surely I will miss probably many things and when signing the petition if anyone can think of anything, please add it to your comment. Let's start with food. Food is typically expired and in lack of proportion. Sometimes inmates are not fed until almost dinner and they are just tossed slop. There is nothing healthy about what they are served, I have a lot of photos of food sent to me and I have yet to see fruit and if there is a vegetable it doesn't look right. The only time it was seen that they had any kind of healthy FRESH food was when they were posting pictures of the volunteers smiling...'Look at me I'm doing good'. Meanwhile, they were fed that for the entire next week. I have had employees tell me how these people were fed stuff to make dog food...yes, you heard me right, DOG FOOD. Clearly stated on the package, it said "not for human consumption". So what do these employees do? Serve it up and pass it out to inmates. Every time I even think of that it makes me cry. Who does this to other human beings? These men are degraded, dehumanized, isolated, and improperly fed. These men are treated as slaves. You're welcome, Warren Buffett. In case you weren't aware, he has many plants that have inmates making his products for him. Why, you ask? Because it is cheaper than having them made on the outside...how is this not considered slavery? How is this rehabilitation? These men get treated terribly and live in deplorable conditions. They have been punished already; they had their freedom and rights taken away. They shouldn't have to be put through this as well. This is torture. Give them rehabilitation, teach them how to be so they can return to the streets properly...instead of creating bigger criminals. The longer you keep them in the further away from the outside they become, detaching them. You then release them back into society setting them up for failure. Everyone makes mistakes. Help fix them instead of making it worse. South Carolina prisons are said to be the worst in the nation. There have been many, many killings on Stirling's watch. Most are hidden and rushed out to have the bodies disposed of...so the public doesn't find out. Murder Camp. J...866 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by K C
