If the administration won't show compassion and allow people access to safer pain relief, the General Assembly needs to. Is it a good use of state resources to appeal the court's decision on including chronic pain in the medical cannabis program? Tell Governor Rauner to drop the appeal and allow pain patients access to the medical cannabis program.

State Senator David Carlucci has not caucused with Democrats in the senate since he was elected in 2010. Instead he has allied himself with Republicans, allowing the GOP to control the chamber and block or water down all progressive legislation. We voters thought we elected a Democrat but we were wrong. It's up to the leadership of our party now to work seriously to find and support a REAL Democrat to primary Carlucci so Rockland and Westchester voters are not continuing to enable the Trump agenda in New York by sending a turncoat to the senate.

The people of Nebraska need Planned Parenthood locations in our State. This is a service used by both men and woman. The funding of Planned Parenthood should not be a political decision. It should be an independent decision to help the residents of the State of Nebraska. Please let your Senators know you want Planned Parenthood funded in the State of Nebraska.

The proposed 20-foot extension of the 38 Geary bus stop into the intersection at the northwest corner of 48th Ave and Geary Blvd in front of Sutro Heights Park is bad for the neighborhood for many reasons, including but not limited to the following: 1. Makes safely crossing the street (48th Ave) on the north side of the intersection (where there is no stop sign or crosswalk) impossible and much more dangerous for pedestrians 2. Impedes access to Sutro Heights Park for neighborhood residents, children, dog walkers, and recreationalists 3. Will reduce parking spaces in the neighborhood for residents and visitors 4. Increases the potential for accidents at the intersection (where there is no stop sign and a history of accidents with MUNI) as buses will be pulling out from a parked position into a 90-degree direct left turn onto 48th Ave 5. Passengers will now catch the bus in the middle of the intersection where there is no stop sign or crosswalk and be dropped off in the same place, which is very dangerous (what about wheelchair or handicapped passengers?) 6. Increased congestion, noise, and litter at the intersection The proposed bus stop extension does not improve our neighborhood. It will endanger pedestrians, motorists, and bus passengers at the intersection, and impede public access to Sutro Heights Park. Please sign this petition if you are in agreement to oppose the extension of the 38 Geary bus stop prior to the Engineering Public Hearing at City Hall on February 2nd, 2018 at 10 am when the issue will be heard. Thank you for your support.

Apple's default applications such as iTunes, iPhoto, and iMessage are crucial to both iPhone users and hundreds of millions of people. Unfortunately, Apple has gone out of its way to make these applications incompatible with Linux based operating systems. We demand that Apple make these applications cross-compatible for the millions of Linux users across the world who also use iPhone's and iTunes regularly.

Social workers are the lowest paid people on the planet! and they have the most student debt, which causes financial hardship and causes workers to leave the profession for better paying jobs. Plus, policy reflects the lack of social work education requirement in hiring social workers (a DHS worker requirement is a degree in any field), which sets the salaries for social workers on a low scale and Indian Health Service social work salaries (most of those positions are in rural areas) are even lower.

The Florida state bird is a Northern Mocking bird. Obviously, Florida is in the South, so why do we choose a Northern Mocking bird? The Northern Mocking bird is a very small bird not easily noticed, meaning not popular. The Pelican is a very lovable bird full of interest. It is very well known and can be found in the beautiful oceans of Florida that we love. Therefore the Pelican should be Florida's state bird, that we may all enjoy.

We want to start out stating this is not a petition to attack religious beliefs. It is a petition to remove the tax exempt status that ALL religious organizations have. Religious organizations should be entitled to tax write-offs like all other businesses but should not continue to receive a Non-Profit operating status. The taxes collected from the church can go into helping our communities infrastructure, public schools/education, health care and public assistance programs to help stimulate the economy.

The County Counselor who is the attorney for St. Louis County, works at the pleasure of the County Executive. The County Council should have their own in-house council so council-members can better serve the districts they represent. They develop and review hundreds of documents every year that are legally binding to every resident of St. Louis County and they should have legal representation that is beholden to the Council and not the County Executive.

The privacy of the internet has been compromissed. Control has been turned over to big corporations. The corporations can control who gets access to the internet as well as the speed of the internet.

I am personally involved teaching Dreamers.

Americans deserve better than pissing contests in Congress. We need to have our voices heard and those elected officials need to hear us. Until there is an amicable solution US House and Senate should not be paid for their lack of cohesion and work. Stop their pay over first.
