The Meaderboro Road community is firmly united against a cell tower at this location. We already gathered over 200 signatures against AT&T's proposal of a tower at the same location in 2014. After being denied, AT&T walked away from their application because they realized they were in the wrong. Since then, another home has been built extremely close to the proposed location, homeowners in the neighborhood lost money on the sale of their home due to the possibility of T-Mobile's proposal, and eleven other locations in the area have been identified as possible alternatives, many of them much farther away from neighbors and less visible. The Meaderboro Road area is one of the most beautiful parts of Rochester, and we feel it should be kept that way. There are other locations that would not harm the scenic or historic nature of the road and would not financially harm the residents of the road.

Currently, the U.S. Department of State will only allow people who are female or male to travel out of the United States by restricting documents such as passports to two options: male and female. This is a horrifying and completely violates the Fourteenth Amendment, as it prevents nonbinary and intersex people from simply vacationing. Worse, it prevents nonbinary people from even seeking asylum in the few countries which will take them. This is completely absurd and unacceptable. If the U.S. does not want nonbinary people, it should at least allow them to leave, not imprison them and slowly watch them suffer. That is also a violation of the eighth amendment.

I am a survivor of sexual abuse on several levels. Though I have not personally received any settlement payments, the fact that an employer of a perpetrator could benefit from such payments through a tax deductible loophole in our current tax law, is an abomination. As a taxpayer, this adds insult to injury. Please sign my petition to tell our U.S. House Representatives and Senators to eliminate this loophole.

Many AKC Parent Clubs are taking advantage of the AKC ruling to allowing qualified non-permitted individuals to judge specialty shows. The DCPA Constitution & By-Laws requires that individuals nominated be AKC Approved Judges. The Constitution needs to be revised to allow members the right to nominate any individuals the membership deems qualified to preside over our dogs at Specialty shows whether they be AKC permitted or not..

For many Americans, the American dream includes many years of graduate school and extremely frugal living along the journey to a Ph.D. Traditionally, in a great many fields (such as biology, physics, chemistry, and mathematics), the only way this has been possible is through teaching and/or research assistantships, which grant graduate students with a small stipend (in the ~$20K-$30K/year range) to live. This Republican move will almost certainly guarantee that middle and lower class highly talented and intelligent people will be locked out of higher education.

My Grandson, Marty W. McMillan Jr. was set up and murdered, and to date, we don't have closure or his remains. He went to meet a girl he met on PlentyOfFish, and he never returned. We reported this to the police on April 22, 2017, and they would not file his case until they said for three days. We tried to explain to them that he would not contact any family members for days in at a time. He did not report to work, and to his PO officer, not talk to any of his friends, and not answer his phone that was not his behavior. His father had to cry to them after going to the precinct to check to see if they had heard anything. They had not assigned his case at all to any detective. That day they decided to appoint a detective that day. They came to my house to ask me questions. I told them how he went to work that day, that was a Saturday, and we thought he was over his father house, and his father thought he was over my house. He had not been to either that was on a Thursday morning. So he had been missing since that Saturday, and neither of us knew. I told them he had not talked or text his mother and he texted her every day. They got information from me. I was told by them not to file a stolen car report let them see what they could find out. However, days went by, and I decided to submit a stolen car report. We then find out they had not assigned the case to the detective that came to my house. The fact had not been assign to any detective. Then it was finally given to a detective in weeks later, and then again a different detective came to my house. The first detective that came to my house told me not to call his car stolen. However, they kept saying to me when I call they had heard nothing. My daughter lives in Charlotte NC, and she drove here after work every Friday evening, and we looked for him every weekend. I searched every day. We went everywhere putting up flyers, all over DC and Maryland. We met a person that was a missing exploited children activist, and he started to communicate with us. We were going to searches, knocking on doors in the neighborhood his car that I found. One day I called the detectives to asked them had they heard anything, he said he got a call tip Marty car was somewhere in Bowie Maryland. I went there the address was not a proper address. I kept searching during the week and my family I searched on the weekends. We drove all nights and days. I called the detective and asked have you heard anything, he told me the car pinged twice and told me the area it has pinged. That was how I found his car. The police did not respond either time to the pinged. I drove the city he said, me it pings, and I saw the car. I called them to come, to check to make sure it was his car and it was. I knew it was his car had the temp tags still on it. People were sitting out front where the car was parked, and I was afraid to get out of my car to check. Was told to stay in the car and wait until they got there. It took them at least 40 minutes, or so I had to wait. I called them to let them know I think I found his car. They took fingerprints, and I had the car towed to my house. I cover it and make sure it stayed intact. I did not want to move anything I felt it was more they should check. I kept asking them to come and check more may be able to find something more from the car. It took them a month to his car and checked it out more. Time went on my daughter decided to call the captain at the police department and talk with her about how she did not feel she was getting the best action taken done by them. The captain did and found out that the detective was not doing anything for this case he should have been doing. She apologized and assigned a different detective to the situation. She reprimanded him for his negligence actions. However, this is now two months later. The new detective came and asked me questions and agreed everything handled wrong. He would be taking the case, and we started over again. My daughter did all the footwork and all the research to find out the person name he had communicated with last, the real girl name he met on PlentlyOfFish dating site; I found his car. We gave him all of the evidence we found out gave them the case. He did make the vehicle and retook fingerprints but the finger came back smeared and had to do DNA, and we had to wait for another for this. The DNA came back, but nothing has updated or done to date everything fell through the cracks, and we still don't have anything, and he has been gone and presume deceased and can find his remains. First of all, if they had done what they needed to do in the beginning, we might be able to find him. If they had gone after the car, they might be able to get people that were driving his car to talk. We gave them the evidence, and they let it sat before they took action. Should have evaluated his case in the beginning and involved the FBI could have utilized better resources. They did not apply the rules to Marty case from the beginning when I to them my grandson would not just walk away from his life and family. Someone should be held accountable, and Marty case should be with the FBI, he met a girl on PlentyofFish a dating site that causes him his life. It now seems the case has run cold and we may never know who killed my grandson. This issue should be an investigated, and rules should have been applied to the person such as Marty William McMillan Jr. case and might not save his life but at least get the killers off the street and stop dating site from being used for criminal activity. Marty was set up and murdered by meeting someone on PlentyofFish, and the FBI was not brought into the case and should have been from the start.

My grandson was murdered by someone that he met on a dating site. Dating sites need to be secured. He was only 22, just a kid and he met this girl that he thought was a nice girl. He went to meet her and Lords only know what he was confronted by. He never returned. His remains have not been found. Not only that, other people have been murdered and robbed by going to met people out there. It has been in the news several times for this in all states. They are well known for this type of criminal activity on their site. However, nothing has been done about this. The owners of these should add security application to monitor and make sure criminal activities are not occurring on their site, such as, make sure of addresses, phone numbers, and to include pictures identification to be used to sign up on these dating sites. The owners and the investors can add all types of technical protocol to the site as well as post notices of the dangers to be aware of with a warning blurb. A statement of the facts to educate the public and notices of how to obtain knowledge of the person they are communicating with out there. If a person ends up missing after going on dates out there it can be easily traced back to the person/s that they were communicating with. Implement policies and procedures for verification of identification and not be able to use fraudulent names such as with signing up for Facebook. If a person ends up missing or murdered it can be traced easily. There is no warning for people to be aware of this type of activity that is going on before signing up for these sites. People are losing their lives and it has been in the news many times. Yet nothing has been changed to help to prevent criminals from continuing to use these sites to set up people. Also, people have to sign and agree to these policies to be on their sites. Because if this is proof that a person was murdered for using these site that company is liable to be sued.

Inadequate staffing at Cornell Health is putting students at risk with an average wait time of 4-5 weeks to get an initial counseling appointment and 5+ weeks to get a psychiatry appointment. The health and well being of Cornell students should be the number one priority of Cornell Health and a diverse group health care providers must be hired immediately.

Former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney said it best: "Innocent until proven guilty is for criminal convictions, not elections. I believe Leigh Corfman. Her account is too serious to ignore. Moore is unfit for office and should step aside."

The NRA has bought Congress for years, preventing commonsense gun control laws from passing. It's past time to throw their money back and stand up for the lives of your constituents. My MoC should represent me and my neighbors, not the NRA.

Access to firearms is the single most common predictor of a woman being murdered by a current or former partner, regardless of employment status, education level or relationship status. It's increasingly evident is the flaw in our nation's background check system. When records prohibiting domestic abusers from gun possession are excluded, dangerous individuals, like the shooter in Sutherland Springs, Texas, are able to pass a background check, obtain guns, and do harm to our communities. Our laws must keep deadly weapons out of domestic abusers' hands. As advocates for victims of domestic violence, the National Domestic Violence Hotline knows far too intimately how dangerous firearms are at the hands of an abusive partner – whether the abuse is physical, emotional, verbal, digital and/or financial. We can all agree that such dangerous individuals should not be permitted access to firearms, and prevention of future tragedies cannot be accomplished without demanding that our elected leaders take action. Congress must ensure law enforcement officers have access to the information they need to identify dangerous individuals. And we demand that current federal gun laws are expanded so that the prohibited purchaser category includes current and former dating partners because the threat of harm is just as dangerous coming from a dating partner as it is coming from a married one.
