We Citizens of Key West, Florida and all visitors to Key West are asking for at least a twice weekly, year round, COMPLETE clean-up of the S. Roosevelt Blvd. Smather's Beach polluted jetty. The trash, rotting sea life and rotting seaweed must be removed and this area must be maintained on an ongoing basis.

Starting January 1, 2011, the California Employment Development Department began paying me federal emergency unemployment compensation benefits incorrectly and illegally, based on a historic implementation error that the Department of Labor's Robert Wagner, Chief of Special Benefits is responsible for. His mistaken and illegal interpretation of the already existing federal "definition" for the "applicable benefit year" for the federal Emergency Unemployment Compensation Program (EUC08 73-99 weeks), led the Employment & Training Administration to publish a MISTAKE in the EUC08 Program "guidelines", starting August 15, 2008 in UIPL 23-08 change 1, Q&A #7 under section D. Monetary Eligibility ("Multiple EUC Claims"). The EUC08 Program is a vital part of the Recovery Act (ARRA), but it was implemented incorrectly almost four years ago. This historic EUC08 program implementation error has affected myself and millions of other unemployed struggling workers and families nationwide. The Economy has been denied billions of Recovery Act errors because of this blunder. Every state has blindly followed the same mistake that was passed down from the federal Department of Labor through their "program guidelines". This has affected millions of claims for ARRA emergency designated funds. EUC08 determinations, payments and adjudication have all been affected by this serious error that contradicts the previous 1990s implementation of the exact same benefits (EUC08). It also violates the same federal regulations for these extended benefits that the Department of Labor wrote themselves. The federal Department of Labor issues "unemployment insurance program letters" to ALL states nationwide so they can implement the billions of dollars allocated for the federal Emergency Unemployment Compensation Program (EUC08). It was the ERROR published in these federal guidelines that caused my state to pay me EUC08 benefits incorrectly and illegally in violation of federal regulations (picked up the remaining balance from an older EUC08 claim for much lesser funds and weekly benefit amount than the most recent benefit year I was in) . This implementation ERROR contradicts what the 1990s Department of Labor did with the same definitions and regulations (see scans of documents below). I looked this all up online and was able to successfully challenge the State of California, and indirectly the federal Department of Labor Employment & Training Administration in California Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board Case No. A0-265448 on October 20, 2011. This decision REFUTED FEDERAL EUC08 POLICY and awarded me back $2786 dollars denied over 26 weeks. Now ANY AND ALL older and terminated benefits years that had left over EUC08 balances ARE IGNORED as they should be according to federal regulations (see below). This case is very significant, because I directly challenged the ERROR that the federal DOL ETA made, and published in UIPL 23-08 change 1+, that caused the California Employment Development Department to also make a faulty implementation of their state "Deferred New Claim Program", which shares the same FEDERAL ERROR IN IMPLEMENTATION, as does EVERY STATE nationwide. Federal officials at the Department of Labor have made a historic implementation error in the EUC08 Program that violates three of their own federal regulations at Title 20 Chapter V Part 615. This affects millions of claimants for emergency benefits. This affects the Recovery Act (ARRA of 2009), the Improper Payments Act, The Inspector General Act, Public Law 110-252 and 111-205 (HR4213 that "Part Time Penalty EUC08 Fix"). This also affects the Unemployment Rate and the Extended Benefits last 20 Weeks of emergency aid (triggers for EB are based on the unemployment rate over a three month look back trigger). Billions of ARRA, state and federal dollars have been wasted implementing a recovery program that has serious errors and flaws that violate federal law and regulations. The problem: the government has been exposed trying to subvert my efforts post appeal. I tried to make this case a precedent so other claimants nationwide would benefit from the same victory against the same ERROR they were affected by. They ignored the precedent request and got caught (see scans below). They cut a secret deal to keep this out of court and pay me state funds to cover this up (see FOIA documents below that exposed this). They made illegal threats to end benefits for ALL California claimants if a precedent was set (see scans below). I have exposed this all and they still won't respond, especially before the election (the White House was notified about this last November 2011...see scans below). This is not right. This is not legal. Millions of citizens have had their rights violated. The whistle blower who filed a recovery fraud complaint has been ignored and his efforts delayed and subverted (me). No agency will obey their legal obligation and oversight duty to investigate ARRA fraud...

Why? Simple! The people demanded it. That was in 1971 - before computers, e-mail, cell phones, etc. Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took one (1) year or less to become the law of the land - all because of public pressure. Warren Buffett is asking each addressee to forward this email to a minimum of twenty people on their address list; in turn ask each of those to do likewise. In three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message. Congressional Reform Act of 2017 1. No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman / woman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they're out of office. 2. Congress (past, present, & future) participates in Social Security. All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose. 3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do. 4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%. 5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people. 6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people. 7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void effective 3/1/17. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women. Congress made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and go back to work. If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people, then it will only take three days for most people in the U.S. to receive the message. It's time! THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!

For low-income people, a single encounter with the courts today can result in a sentence to a life-long cycle of debt. The recent statewide Traffic Court Amnesty Program (Amnesty) reduces debt for people whose traffic tickets were issued prior to 2013 and reinstates suspended driver’s licenses for people who enroll in traffic court payment plans. Amnesty is a step in the right direction, but the City and County of San Francisco has the opportunity to go further and truly stop the endless cycle of debt for its low-income residents. To create impactful and lasting debt relief, the City and County, along with other stakeholders, must commit to the following: 1) Fund Amnesty education and outreach in the City’s FY 16-17 and FY 17-18 budget. • Provide funding to local community-based organizations to assist people in accessing the Amnesty process, with the goal of 100% participation from qualifying San Franciscans. • Fund additional necessities for participation, such as interpretation/translation services, the $50 Amnesty participation fee, and the $55 DMV license reinstatement fee. 2) Eliminate the use of license suspensions for unpaid fines and fees. • Establish as local policy that license suspensions are an inappropriate collection tool for infraction-related debt. • Direct all city agencies to cease reporting non-traffic violations to the Department of Motor Vehicles. 3) Terminate all contracts with private debt collectors and establish a fair and just approach to debt collection for San Francisco. • End the use of private debt collection for debt owed to the City and County by terminating relationships with Alliance One. • Build a locally-based public debt-collection system that incorporates core San Francisco values, including transparency, fairness, and inclusiveness. • In addition, the City and County must urge the San Francisco Superior Court to allow low-income San Franciscans to clear past debt through a debt-relief court calendar and dismiss court-ordered fines and fees for low-income people. In addition, the City and County must urge, and partner with, the Superior Court to: 4) Allow people to access the courts without regard to income. • Dismiss all outstanding bench warrants for people appearing voluntarily in court. • Allow people who failed to appear in court to request relief from any imposed civil assessment (a $300 fee) without having to first pay that assessment as “bail.” • Allow people who failed to appear in court to schedule new court dates. 5) Provide alternatives to full, lump-sum payment for low-income people. • Expand access to community service options to include participation in social services and educational or job training programs. • Increase the value of work credit hours for community service, and allow a reduction in the total amount due relative to any community service completed, even if community service is not completed in full. • Eliminate fee requirements for participation in the work credit/payment plan program Project 20.

Petition to OPPOSE a lease with "Friends of Wilmington/USC Alumni" and continue the lease with the Wilmington Jaycees and/or Vince Ferragamo Foundation Wilmington Athletic Complex, 1700 South Figueroa Street, Wilmington, CA, 90744 7-31-21 1. For the last 40 years the Wilmington Jaycee Foundation successfully ran this facility. The first lease was a 30- year lease. Currently, the Jaycees are 7 years into the second 30- year lease with the Los Angeles County Sanitation District. 2. LA County Sanitation District who owns the buffer zone property, wants to terminate the lease. This was primarily due to the pressure by LA City leaders and Council District 15 Staff. The same people who obstructed high level funding and ability to maintain the Complex by the Jaycees. Pressure during a worldwide Pandemic, with increased LA County Health Orders. 3. RFP (Request for Proposal of the site) involved three groups. Each RFP response included a large investment for improvements. i. “Friends of Wilmington Sports Complex”/ USC Alumni funded non-profit for Track & Field “Throws” competition, They brought in their tenants "Wilmington Juniors Soccer Club" (LA Monsters) to replace current tenants. ii. Vince Ferragamo Foundation, the legacy of the Jaycee Foundation (Vince is our native son) iii. Kix Soccer Centers 4. CD 15 Councilmember (Buscaino) sits on the LA County Sanitation District Board so he proposed that this field be given over to the LA City Recreation & Parks. That way he can have more control and so he can hopefully gain mayor votes. CD 15 staff member Fernando Navarrette sits on the “Friends of” non-profit, helping push the undermining process and is a conflict of interest. 5. USC misconduct cannot be adopted in Wilmington. Don’t forget the National Media covered scandals of USC i. Remember the $1.1-billion-dollar settlement of sexual misconduct involving HUNDREDS of female students. ii. “Friends of“ leader Steve Lopes, CAUGHT / FIRED in the USC Varsity Blues scandal- These are the same people behind and leading this proposed takeover of our WAC / Wilmington Jaycees field. 6. What about the future uses of this property once in the hands of the corrupt USC and the Councilman / MAYORAL CANDIDATE? Once the agreement is signed, can they repurpose the land for housing according to the Coastal zone? What kind of housing? 7. Joe Buscaino has already given our Harbor College Sports field parking lot to TINY HOMES for the homeless. 8. Wilmington has no open space for sports and USC wants it for investment? For-profit and to raise money for the University? LA County Sanitation District, We the undersigned, are concerned Residents & Stakeholders who urge you to act now: Please continue the lease with the Wilmington Jaycees and/or Vince Ferragamo Foundation and save the park for our children.!!!

We, the parents of Evergreen, residents of the community, business leaders, community partners, education advocates, and parents of other local schools in Marion County all believe that Evergreen Elementary should be kept open and given the support and resources to make it a great school. The student population of Evergreen Elementary represents the most vulnerable students in Marion County. However, these students’ spirit to learn and their desire to succeed are the cornerstones of why we support a new plan and strategy to keep this school open. When public decisions are chosen, prior to testing, we unintentionally plant the seed that the student cannot succeed. For those of us who believe in students, we know that when a student’s self-esteem is challenged then his or her propensity to learn is defeated. Therefore, we fight for our children now because we are fighting for their willingness to learn and succeed in the future. Our students need to see us believe in them. As such, we affirm our position. We are strong supporters of free, high-quality, equitable public education. We believe that all children deserve the opportunity to attend a school that provides the best strategy and model to succeed regardless of their socioeconomic status. We believe and support placing the best teachers in the classroom especially in our most vulnerable schools. We believe and support a “community centered” academic model to be implemented to support schools that educate our most vulnerable students. Lastly, we believe and support a plan to encourage our students to succeed now and in the future. Therefore, we call upon the Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Heidi Maier, and School Board Members, Kelly King, Beth McCall, Angelia Boynton, Bobby James, and Nancy Stacy to support the students and staff of Evergreen Elementary by supporting and implementing the following steps: 1. Reject the proposal to close Evergreen Elementary and transform it into a middle, magnet school, and to rally with the community to give the students of Evergreen Elementary a fighting chance to achieve academic success and proficiency. 2. Investigate and review whether the academic strategies, such as the “no homework policy” at a failing school and staffing decisions, helped or hindered success. 3. Support an engaged community who are offering their support to provide small group tutoring and incentives over the next several weeks to improve the scores by permitting Saturday school and providing Saturday busing for students. We believe this support WILL catapult our students’ scores and bolster their self-esteem. 4. Request that the Florida Department of Education grant additional time to Evergreen’s turnaround program as the most critical component of a turnaround program is now in fully engaged: THE COMMUNITY. 5. Support a new Education Task Force that will work with School leaders to provide consistent communication to the community about the state of our schools; offer new strategies to achieve success in failing schools; assist with organizing parents by providing community support; and, organize and coordinate outreach programs that provide mentor/leadership programs to assist students who attend failing schools or who are in danger of failing.

We call on Alameda County Superior Court Executive Officer Leah T. Wilson and fellow Court administrators to reduce the Court’s exorbitant new online search fees. In support of those who cannot afford the high fees, attorneys may refuse to waive mail service of judicial orders until the Court corrects this affront to the poor. In April 2014, the Court began charging the public to retrieve civil records online, costing an excessive $1.00/page for the first 5 pages, 50 cents/page thereafter, up to $40 per document. The Court charges $1.00 just to perform a party name search – another $1.00 to repeat the name search under a different spelling or on a different day. The system provides no means of selecting specific pages from a document, charging the same for covers, captions, tables, proofs of service, or blank pages. These charges vastly exceed those collected under the federal PACER system. The Court’s flat fees fall heaviest on the poor. They raise serious constitutional concerns under the Sixth and Fourteenth Amendments (right to counsel, due process and access to justice), as well as red flags under the California Public Records Act., notwithstanding its vague sanction under Government Code § 68150 and California Rule of Court 2.506(a). The new fees will or may have all of the following disparate impacts: • Advantage represented parties over non-represented parties; • Advantage law firms and well-to-do lawyers over sole practitioners and pro per litigants; • Advantage exempt government parties over non-exempt civilian parties; • Advantage corporate media over independent media and independent journalists; • Undermine the dissemination of public information; • Undermine settlements by increasing parties' costs; and • Strain Court resources by causing more people to line up to search paper files, thereby burdening access by that means too. Solutions include: • Curbing the fees; • Granting free access to one’s own case (litigants pay filing fees after all); • Granting free or sliding scale access to the indigent including those with fee waivers on file; • Granting free access to judicial orders; • Eliminating the charge for a mere party name search; • Charging only to print or save documents but not merely to view them; • Enabling retrieval of less than a full document; • Establishing a one time fee for ongoing access to an entire case file; • Establishing an annual subscription service with added features enticing to those with the ability to pay. The Court claims the fee-based system is necessary to recoup the costs of providing public records access. But this accounting skirts the fact that the Court scans documents for the benefit of Court staff too. The monetary cost of maintaining public records access pales compared to the social costs of burdening such access, a burden borne disproportionately by the poor, to say nothing of the damage this regime does to the public’s faith in the Court’s economic fairness.

1- Este arresto y encarcelamiento es a la vista de todo el mundo ILEGAL ya que no se tienen pruebas en su contra. Esto disminuye aun más la creebilidad en el Estado y el Gobierno Federal y Estatal. Se observa a leguas que es por revanchismo del Gobernador de Michoacán Fausto Vallejo y lo más preocupante de la situación es que el Gobierno Federal por conducto de Presidente de la Republica Enrique Peña Nieto, permita esta detención y encarcelamiento; así como la persecución y agresión del grupo de autodefensas de La Ruana de Hipólito Mora, por un seudo grupo de autodefensas integrado por TEMPLARIOS ARREPENTIDOS, encabezados por el que se dice El Americano y que el día de hoy ya tienen asolada a la región de La Ruana, con apoyo de la Policía Federal 2- Este arresto y encarcelamiento fue en forma por demás eficiente y eficaz por las autoridades policiacas y nos preguntamos por que no lo han hecho de esa forma en contra de los Narcotraficantes de los Templarios o de las Autoridades Estatales y Municipales que los han apoyado y que han sido señalados por la población. Donde está La Comisión de Derechos Humanos; Ya que al ingresar a Hipólito Mora a la Cárcel, corre peligro su vida, por que ahí están detenidos Narcotraficantes y delincuentes de toda índole. Hacemos Responsable al Gobierno Estatal y Federal de la seguridad de Hipólito Mora y de lo que le pudiera suceder a el en la cárcel, a sus familiares en La Ruana y a Todo su grupo de Autodefensa 3- Exigimos la LIBERACION INMEDIATA DE HIPOLITO MORA 4- Solicitamos la pronta intervención de La Comisión Nacional de Derechos Humanos. 5- La Intervención de Amnistía Internacional y en su momento al Tribunal de la Haya, para que intervenga en como y de que forma fue aprehendido y Encarcelado Hipólito Mora 6- A todos los Ciudadanos Consientes del Mundo les pido Firmar esta Petición

List of Common Sense Changes Needed on a National Level: 1) NO MORE Automatic or Semi-Automatic military ASSAULT WEAPONS for Civilians, PERIOD. No more multiple high-count ammo cartridges sold to civilians, PERIOD. 2) Persons with a criminal record, anyone arrested for domestic battery, persons with mental illnesses, under age persons, and other persons unsuitable for gun ownership should NOT get a gun license or permit of any kind. 3) Every Gun Owner Must have a background check. NO more gun shows without background checks, PERIOD. 4) Every Gun Owner Must take a gun safety course & renew the same course every year or two. 5) Every Gun Owner Must have a gun permit for each and every gun they own which MUST be renewed regularly just like a driver's license with a demonstration of competency in the use the weapon and a written test of the rules. Legal gun owners with a current permit are the ONLY persons allowed to buy ammo of any kind. 6) No Internet Sales of Guns or Ammo. 7) Make it illegal to "Loan", "Lend" or otherwise allow another person who does not have a current, legal gun permit to borrow or use your firearm PERIOD. Gun owners should be Proscecuted for allowing ANYONE without a legal gun permit to use their firearm, PERIOD. 8) Gun owners MUST purchase an appropriate Gun Safe BEFORE purchasing a gun and it must be installed (attached to wall/floor) by the Gun Dealer and inspected by the local police every year. Gun Owners who don't use their gun safe properly should be Proscecuted for any accidents or crimes due to their Gun Safe Negligence. 9) Gun owners MUST report loss or theft of a firearm and/or ammo IMMEDIATELY or face procecution for failing to do so. 10) Add lost or stolen weapons to a National Database for police agencies. Anyone caught possessing or using an illegal firearm and/or ammo on this database should be procecuted for this violation in addition to any other charges. Mandatory jail sentences should be used for illegal weapons use or possession. 11) ALL new Ammo produced after 2012 MUST be the new kind that goes "bad" after a certain time limit. All old ammo should be traded in "for free" for this NEW ammo. Then make the use of the old ammo a felony after a period of amnesty for the old ammo. Controlling the ammo is much easier and more effective than controlling the guns. 12) There must be a record of the sale of all ammo, limits on amounts of ammo per gun owner, restrictions on how much ammo can be purchased within a certain time limit which makes it impossible to legally "stock-pile" ammo. 13) All ammo must be sales MUST be "tagged" to a gun owner's gun permit to prevent lending, borrowing, gifting, trading or otherwise exchanging ammo ESPECIALLY with unlicensed persons.

Board of Trustees University of the Cumberlands Dear Trustees, For the majority of Alumni, University of the Cumberlands/Cumberland College will always hold a special place in our hearts. The institution has always been a place full of wonderful memories, love, compassion, friendship and so much more. Cumberlands is a place that has represented growth, outreach and unwavering support for anyone within the campus or local community. Most importantly, Cumberland has always represented a sanctuary where the love of Christ has been passionately shared - to believers and non-believers a like. The Scripture that is often associated with Cumberlands is “You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden” (Matthew 5:14). And it is a Scripture that has perfectly embodied the spirit of this wonderful institution. However, in lieu of recent events, it seems as though the compassion and light of the world Cumberlands has represented has since been abandoned. President Jim Taylor’s Facebook post this past weekend focusing on the resignation of Patriots’ head football coach John Bland took many of us by surprise. Not only because of the unprofessional approach President Taylor took regarding the issue, but also because of the shameful way he attempted to tarnish the reputation of a man and family who gave everything they had to our beloved institution. Regardless of the circumstances, no person deserves the public ridicule that was handed down by President Taylor. This behavior has detrimental to the reputation of the university and the ethical guidelines of an academic institution. While this has become the most public display of misconduct directed towards employees/former employees, sadly this is not the first incident. In recent years, elongating lists of grievances from many parties have surfaced. We do not forget the time, effort and years in which he has donated to the university, but there comes a breaking point in which poor treatment of employees, faculty and staff can no longer be ignored. Many of us have differentiating opinions regarding the forthcoming steps to be taken by the University/Board of Trustees – yet that is not a decision of our choosing. However, the silence of the University and President Taylor has spoken volumes to many of us – as it seems as though the institution condones/supports this type of behavior. This letter has been written to you in hopes of improving the reputation of our Alma Mater – a reputation that this unfortunate situation has sadly decimated. The alumni/future alumni signing this petition have gravely decided that all donations to the university will cease until action is taken. Others that have considered giving in the future will be forced to reconsider. As part of the Cumberlands’ family, we pray that we can soon return to proudly giving and supporting our beloved institution just as we did before this situation. The love and compassion of the Cumberlands family, students and faculty is too important to allow it to be tarnished by these acts. Thank you for your time and willingness to read our concerns.
