Being a youth or adult resident of Miami, someone who works in Miami, or a person who owns property in the City of Miami, I realize; Miami ranks last of all high density cities in the entire US in park space per resident; that 4 of 5 Miami Commission districts severely lack parks; that parks add to the quality of life; that parks are proven to be economic generators; that to keep property taxes low, Florida Law provides that developers who add population, should pay for the capital costs of new parks if residents demand it from their elected leaders, instead of property taxes on all property and that Miami taxpayers own very valuable waterfront land and that if that land is to be leased or sold, it must deliver significant benefits for its resident / stockholders beyond lease fees and new taxes. Therefore, I petition Mayor Regalado or any new Mayor and the Miami Commission to take actions immediately to make it possible to collect higher one time Impact Fees on developers so park acreage is actually added to Miami so as to not further deteriorate our park acreage / population ratio as it has severely declined over the last several years; that Miami 21 be changed so parks are protected from being covered with buildings and parking lots. That the leasing or selling of any publicly owned land, especially water front land such as Coconut Grove, Watson Island and Virginia Key must produce substantial public benefit for Miami residents / taxpayers, beyond lease fees and new taxes. Specifically, 100 percent of lease fees or sales dollars or leveraged bond proceeds must be used exclusively for the creation of new parks until such time that there is a park within a ten minute walk of every Miami resident, per the Parks Master Plan. This requires 30 new neighborhood parks in the City of Miami.

We humbly request that you increase the amount of income tax deductions (1098-E) allowed on student loan interest payments. Currently, the maximum amount is $2500; we would like to see the deduction doubled to $5000. Ultimately, it will provide debtors an incentive to pay off their student loans as quickly as possible.

"We ask that Steve Shurtleff not censure Representative Debra Stevens, Ward 7, Nashua in any way and that instead, he speak about the importance of respect in public discourse and the responsibility that comes with free speech. We ask that he draw the distinction between cyber bullying and public discourse and the importance in understanding the difference. We believe that this current request from the Republican Minority Leader Dick Hinch (Hillsborough, 12) to censure Rep. Stevens represents an effort to silence those who speak out against the anti-gun control extremists. We also believe that this represents their next effort in harassing Rep. Stevens, as their first attempt, using her political page was not successful. We ask that Steve Shurtleff not allow himself or the House rules to be used as a political cudgel for extremists who wish to silence their opposition. The censure request comes as a result of opinions Rep. Stevens shared on her Facebook political page this past week about extremists against any form of gun control. Stevens shared an article discussing concerns about the motives of anti-gun control extremists on the national level. Stevens' page was subsequently flooded with comments from those who do not support any gun control, spouting NRA and gun lobby talking points instead of genuine engagement in thoughtful discussion. Stevens attempted to respond to them fairly and consistently but the barrage became constant and her page flooded with people who arrived specifically to harass and belittle her. The majority of the people came from not only out of her ward but also from out of Nashua and out of state. Their only purpose: to harass opponents of their extremist view and any stifle any discussion about their motives. The net effect most obviously, as always happens when a page is "trolled" is that reasonable discussion cannot carry on. Those not fearing harassment or not sharing the extremist views of those "trolling" the page leave. It is a well known and vicious online tactic. Many of these harassers were called out for not even being in her ward, much less the state of NH. Representative Stevens, after much consideration had to ban those who stooped to ad hominem attacks and insults to Rep. Stevens and others. The tone of Rep.Stevens political state representative page devolved into a hornet's nest of hostility toward Rep. Stevens and anyone who would engage with them. Such an environment no doubt could in effect scare off her actual constituents from engaging with her on her page. Now, within the last 24 hours, after Representative Stevens took back control of her page and her supporters came out to help quell the attacks, news comes that their political connection in the House is asking that Rep. Stevens be censured, for of all things, harassing and smearing them. They base their claim on the idea that speaking in public about certain trends of behavior among national anti-gun control groups somehow harms those groups here in New Hampshire. Like SLAPP suits, internet trolling and flooding of a page constitutes an effort to control the public narrative on an issue. Now that their online behavior has not stopped Rep. Stevens from speaking about the issue of gun control, they resort to finding proxies to do their dirty work. We respectfully ask that Speaker Shurtleff refuse to participate in this charade and to not use the censure process to further the efforts of a small group to harass and intimidate legislators. The long term desire among these groups shines clear in the light; to cause fear among legislators to vote against this small vocal minority on any gun issue that comes before the Legislature. Representative Hinch's call for a censure of Representative Stevens makes very clear the close association certain state representatives have with hostile, extremist groups. Thus we also ask that Speaker Shurtleff warn state legislators that their association with such groups places their reputations at risk. We who oppose the extremist anti-gun control view point know very well the extent of vitriol and personal attacks that our opposition will engage in to shut down discussion on this issue. We also know that women representatives have received particularly vicious and misogynistic treatment, such as the harassment that Representative Frost, (D), Strafford, District 16 has received during her terms in the House.

Remove Donald Trump From Office for Violations of His Own Presidential Oath of Office and the Constitution of the United States of America. "It is our job as undaunted citizens of America to safeguard our endangered republic at all costs. Ours is a government of the people, by the people, and for the people, and those often recited words will never lose their meaning. It’s bad enough that this sorry excuse for a “leader” is in the pocket of Vladimir Putin, who murders his enemies and detractors with casual disregard for human dignity. It’s bad enough that a virulent white nationalist has become Trump’s most trusted advisor, privy to the most sensitive matters of national security, and that another career racist with a long history of siding with white supremacists and voter suppression is about to be confirmed as Attorney General of the United States. It’s bad enough that, without our consent, against the will of a broad majority of voters, that our country is being swept up in terrifying and worldwide wave of right-wing nationalist extremism. But to tolerate a president who stumbles clumsily all over the laws and ideals of this country because he doesn’t understand them in the first place is impossible; and to stand idly by while a handful of billionaire plutocrats rapidly dismantle the progress we have achieved as a nation is unacceptable. This is not something any of us should take lightly, accept obediently, or remain timidly silent about." - Sasha Stone 1. DECLARATION OF RESISTANCE When in the course of American history it becomes necessary for the people to save our Nation from a Tyrant, 2. To safeguard equality for all and their inalienable rights of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness from bigotry and corruption, 3. To ensure that our Government continues derive its power from the consent of the governed rather than by autocracy, 4. That whenever any President becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to make such demands upon their Congress: 5. Immediate impeachment of the President for crimes committed, or removal from office by way of the 25th Amendment to the Constitution. 6. Donald J. Trump has conducted injuries and usurpations, pursuing the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. 7. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world– 8. He has obstructed the Laws for Naturalization of Immigrants, and illegally banned refugees in need of safe haven. 9. He has continued to violate federal court orders which require the temporary cessation of this ban, thereby violating his executive oath. 10. He has dismissed an Attorney General for fulfilling her oath to defend the Constitution, defying the autonomy of the Dept. of Justice. 11. He has purged the State Dept. of its highest level officials without any regard for a responsible continuity of State Affairs. 12. He has enlisted amateur ideologues – such as the white supremacist Stephen L. Bannon – to make national security decisions. 13. He has vowed to enact policy and legislation which clearly tread on the separation of church and state. 14. He has refused to remove or address conflicts of interest regarding both his own business and that of his cabinet and family. 15. He has hastily signed multiple Executive Orders without the advisement of Congress, policy experts, his cabinet or staff. 16. He has signed an Executive Order which knowingly deprives the sick of desperately needed healthcare with no concern for their lives. 17. He has signed an Executive Order permitting a pipeline that tramples on Native American Rights and endangers safe water supply. 18. He has illegally threatened to cut off funding to Sanctuary Cities which have determined their values through self-governance. 19. He has knowingly, repeatedly and egregiously misled the public, and directed his staff to do the same. 20. He has strongly advocated for the silencing and suppression of a Free Press. 21. He has repeatedly and consistently shown contempt for people based race, ethnicity, gender, sexual identity and religion. 22. He has shown disdain and disregard for the judiciary, and the fundamental human rights that are the foundation of Justice. 23. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people. 24. We shall Resist until our Congress uses the mechanisms afforded to by the Constitution to remove this Tyrant from Power.

To Our Elected Representatives and Decision Makers, I was asked to donate almost $700 to my Seattle Public Schools elementary school to fund nursing time, literacy intervention support, math intervention support, limited advanced learning support, curriculum support, the arts, library books, and more. I’m mad that Seattle Public Schools has to create a budget with known funding gaps in the essential staff and services they provide our schools that families have to fill. Washington State, the federal government, the City of Seattle, and SPS need to work together to fully fund an updated Quality Education Council plan for elementary schools across the state by 2025. This funding must address: • Eliminating caps on special education funding to match legally-required resource costs • Identifying highly capable services as special education so all student needs are resourced • Removing local government-specific revenue caps to allow local communities to address their unique education needs • Correct teacher allocation funding to reflect costs for actual state-mandated class sizes (current "follow the student" model creates unusable budgets that result in 30+ student 2nd grade elementary classrooms) • Reading intervention and math intervention services 4+ days per week at every elementary school (non-poverty students aren't exempt from learning challenges) • Credentialed nursing services in elementary schools 3+ days per week (Tier 4 SPS school PTAs spend thousands to provide just 2 days of on-site nursing support) • Art and Music Instruction in elementary schools 7+ days per month • Credentialed social worker services in elementary schools 3+ days per week • Daily playground supervision at elementary schools (Tier 4 SPS school PTAs spend thousands to ensure safe playground environments for their students)  • State-run (and funded) continuing education programs for teachers and staff This is a critical problem for your constituents and communities. WA State now spends only 43% of its budget on education. To avoid an actual FAILURE of the Seattle Public School system, you must act now.

Governor Tim Walz Petition to Require ICE Agents in Minnesota to Be Identifiable and Unmasked During Enforcement Operations Dear Governor Walz, We, the undersigned residents of Minnesota, respectfully petition your office to take immediate action to ensure that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents operating within our state are required to be fully identifiable and prohibited from concealing their faces during enforcement activities, except in clearly defined and narrow circumstances. Minnesotans value transparency, accountability, and trust in law-enforcement. When federal agents conduct raids or enforcement actions in unmarked vehicles, wearing masks or concealing their identity, it creates an atmosphere of fear and confusion — particularly in immigrant and mixed-status communities. It also increases the risk of impersonation, abuse, and civil-rights violations. A Proven Legislative Model: California’s New Law In 2025, California passed the No Secret Police Act (SB 627) and the No Vigilantes Act (SB 805). These laws: • Prohibit ICE agents and other law-enforcement officers from wearing masks, balaclavas, ski masks, or other facial coverings that conceal identity while performing official duties. • Require non-uniformed officers to visibly display identification — including agency name and badge number — during enforcement operations. • Establish a statewide standard ensuring that all communities know who is exercising authority in their neighborhoods. These laws were designed to prevent secretive, anonymous policing and to protect residents from impersonation and unlawful detention. Minnesota can adopt similar protections to reinforce our existing commitments to fairness, transparency, and community safety. What We Are Asking From Your Office We respectfully request that you support, introduce, or direct the drafting of legislation that would: 1. Require all ICE agents operating in Minnesota to wear visible identification, including name or badge number, whenever engaging the public. 2. Prohibit the use of face coverings that hide an agent’s identity during enforcement operations, with narrow exceptions (such as medical needs or hazardous-materials protection). 3. Create clear penalties for violations to ensure accountability. 4. Protect residents’ right to verify an agent’s identity before complying with enforcement actions to prevent impersonation. Thank you for your leadership and for considering this vital request. Sincerely, Mohamed Mohamed

No Presidential Pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell We write to the United States Congress with one clear demand: Do not support, recommend, or remain silent in the face of any effort to pardon, commute, or grant clemency to Ghislaine Maxwell. Stand unequivocally on the side of justice and the survivors of one of the most heinous child sex trafficking operations in American history. THE FACTS In December 2021, a federal jury convicted Maxwell on five counts including sex trafficking of a minor. She was sentenced to 20 years. The Second Circuit upheld her conviction. In October 2025, the Supreme Court declined to hear her appeal, exhausting every legal avenue. She is exactly where the law said she should be. WHY WE ARE PETITIONING NOW Some House Oversight Committee members support pardoning Maxwell in exchange for testimony. Her attorney says there is a good chance of a pardon. Trump has not ruled it out. This is unacceptable. Maxwell already invoked the Fifth Amendment when subpoenaed by Congress, refusing every substantive question. A pardon in exchange for testimony she already refused is a corrupt bargain. As Rep. Krishnamoorthi wrote to the DOJ: "It is unacceptable that DOJ would be engaging at all with such an outrageous request." THE VOICE OF A SURVIVOR Annie Farmer, one of Maxwell's own victims and a trial witness, asked Congress: “"My sister Maria Farmer risked everything to report Ghislaine Maxwell, and I was asked by our government to be a witness against Maxwell at trial. Could you live with knowing that you have chosen to put a felon who recruited, groomed, and threatened underage girls and young women above survivors?"” We stand with Annie Farmer and every survivor. WHAT WE DEMAND We call upon Congress to publicly oppose any pardon for Maxwell, communicate that opposition to the White House, reject any testimony-for-pardon deal, pursue full Epstein network accountability, and center survivors in every decision. As Rep. Robert Garcia stated: "She is a sexual abuser who facilitated the rape of women and children. This is a shameful way to treat survivors." Rep. Anna Paulina Luna confirmed "the votes aren't there" for a pardon. Hold that line. Oppose this pardon. Protect the survivors. Defend the rule of law.

Call for a temporarily halt of new and expanding factory farms until Iowa's water quality crisis is addressed and counties have more say in where factory farms can be built.

I oppose SB 1262, which will make any Virginia locality that intentionally restricts the enforcement of federal immigration law with the intent to "thwart" enforcement of such law (which the bill defines as a "sanctuary city") JOINTLY AND SEVERALLY LIABLE for tortious injury to persons or property caused by an "illegal alien" (the term used in the bill) within the "sanctuary city." By its terms, if a civil action is brought against the wrongdoer and a "sanctuary city," and the wrongdoer is found liable, the "sanctuary city" could be wholly responsible to pay the full judgment should the wrongdoer be indigent (in a civil case arising from an arson, a battery, or a murder, the judgment could be extremely high). Moreover, given the litigious nature of society and the natural inclination of plaintiffs to name "deep pockets" as defendants, even a locality not ultimately found to be a "sanctuary city" will still likely be subject to frivolous lawsuits and will likely have to pay (or absorb) the costs of defense of these actions (again a costly matter). These judgments and costs would ultimately be paid by the taxpayer. Insofar as localities already have a legal obligation not to intentionally thwart enforcement of federal immigration law, SB 1262 is redundant and unnecessary. If SB 1262 adds increased obligations, should our state/local police and officials, who are already fully occupied with local matters, bear that burden? Should the citizens of Virginia pay the costs associated with those increased obligations? The answer to both questions is "No!"
