It is important for the ninth graders to participate in my campaign, as it is unjust that we are excluded from the highschoolers' recreational activities despite being acknowledged as members of the school community. By rallying others to our cause, we can convey to the higher authorities that our desire for inclusion is not isolated but rather a collective sentiment. Together, we can effect change and secure our rightful participation in a broader array of activities at the highschool.

We are a peaceful state worried about our farms, land, and cattle. We have had an influx in recent years or radicalized people from other states who have taken over our politics and our society. This is not Idaho nor is it Idaho values. Tell our politicians we will not accept their behavior to our Native Peoples or our state as a whole. 

The reality is that the U.S. government is Netanyahu's largest supplier of weapons, and Congress has already passed legislation to send Israel $3.8 billion every year for the next five years. In the last year alone, Congress has voted to send more than $10 billion in American taxpayer dollars to the extremist Israeli government to buy more of the bombs and more of the weapons they are using to bomb and kill the Palestinian and Lebanese people. One in every 55 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since October 7, 2023. You read that right: One in every 55 Palestinians have been killed in the last year. Entire multigenerational Palestinian families have been killed and erased from the registry. Entire lineages have been wiped out. And nearly half of Gaza's residents are under the age of 16, and 65% are under the age of 25, effectively meaning that Palestinian children are bearing the brunt of the Israeli government's collective punishment. It must end now. 50,000 pregnant women and people remain at great risk in Gaza too, with miscarriages, premature births, and stillbirths tripling. One mother, Hind S., almost gave birth to her baby under the rubble in the aftermath of an Israeli military airstrike before she was dug out and rushed to a hospital, where her baby was born with a broken leg from the airstrike. Babies, children, and families in Gaza are also starving to death.19 Nearly 2.1 million people are food insecure, with 96% of children from 6 months to 2 years old not meeting the minimal nutrition requirements. It's egregious. Netanyahu's military has completely violated international law and committed war crimes time and time again. And none of this would've been possible without United States weapons paid for by our very own U.S. taxpayer dollars. Enough is enough! Our members of Congress need to block the $20 billion offensive arms sale to the Israeli military NOW. Will you sign the petition?

Former students, colleagues, friends, family and current residents of West New York, New Jersey, please join us in petitioning the West New York Board of Education to rename Public School #3 in honor of one of West New York's greatest teachers, Darcie Eckert Valencei.

It’s time to ban guns from every polling place in America. The voting booth should be a sanctuary of democracy. But every election year, we see reports of people openly carrying weapons as voters go to the polls – turning what should be a safe and welcoming experience into one of intimidation and fear. That's why Common Cause is taking bold action to protect voters. Just this year, we helped pass laws restricting guns at polls in New Mexico and Massachusetts – and with your action, we can bring this solution to every state in the nation. Our democracy works best when every voter feels safe and empowered. Voting is meant to be an act of hope—NOT fear—and with your help, we can make that a reality nationwide. If you agree, add your name to our petition today telling Congress: Every voter must be able to cast a ballot without fear or intimidation. Guns do NOT belong at polling places.

Senn High school should promote inclusion and acceptance for all students. Yet, this year they decided to hold homecoming on the highest of holy days for the Jewish community. Sign our letter to Principal Holly Dacres to ensure that for all future school events, the Senn administration will commit to reviewing the interfaith calendar to ensure equal opportunities for all students. 

Without financial support, Tisha's ability to return to law school may be at risk, despite her strength and resilience in the face of immense hardship. This campaign is not just about helping one person but about advocating for fairness and ensuring that students in similar situations have a path forward.

Officially, as of Monday, Sept. 30, councilmembers got a larger paycheck. Five councilmembers decided to bypass the Ethics Code and City Charter, voting to give themselves a 40% raise, from $50,000 to nearly $70,000, including allowances, effective immediately. The Mayor will earn an additional $25,200, bringing his effective paycheck to more than $100,000. This was a SALARY INCREASE, plain and simple. Laredo City Councilmembers will now receive MORE than a San Antonio City Councilmember, where the budget is $4 Billion and the population is 2.5 million. Laredo with a population of 260,000 has a budget around $980 million.

Without this therapy pool, generously underwritten by the Alice Tuohy Foundation, our quality of life is vastly diminished. The new pool under construction in Goleta will be wonderful, but it will be very difficult for many of us to make that journey. With our aging population, Santa Barbara should have no trouble utilizing two (2) therapy pools! Their are so few heated therapy pools in California, we feel each is a treasure!  Even if you are not now using the pool for therapy, you may need it in the future.  We hope you can find a way to make retaining the existing, wonderful De la Vina pool possible.

We all play on these fields and our kids are exposed to these chemicals for extended periods of time all year long. Let’s not wait for more studies that show the dangers of turf fields. Let’s get ahead of this!

Students should feel that their bodies are not ground for discrimination or bias. Also, students should also feel comfortable on campus knowing that teachers are being held accountable for issuing false dress code violations willy nilly.
