With the expenses always going up and income staying the same more has closed then opened in our county and fewer and fewer services are now avialable in our county so traveling out of county to get what is needed has added to yet more expense. Mean while more and more For Sale signs and just left to collect ugliness goes on. So how and when will our elected at all levels finally see this plight and start doing something to stop it now?

Pushing more case management for those with HIV / AIDS on to UCAN who already has problems manageing all they need to by closing case management in counties like ours is wrong Please reconsider as elected officals at all levels to change this back to a county issue that is being ignored

President-elect Donald Trump must sell his assets immediately and place them in a blind trust. He should also publicly release his tax returns so that the American people can determine for themselves whether his presidency poses conflicts of interest.

In North Carolina, we have been hit very hard. Currently in the state there are 3 students that we know of who have been deported and 7 who are currently in Stewart Detention Center in Lumpkin, GA. These young men have been denied due process, and we are pleading that they are granted the necessary steps that will ensure they remain safe and sound in the United States. Yefri Bertin Sorto Hernandez, who is 19 years old (A# 206-766-187), was detained on his way to the bus stop by ICE officers on January 27, 2016, in Charlotte, NC. He is currently waiting for his Stay or Removal to be accepted. Yefri left El Salvador due to fear from gang activity. He has been separated from his mother for 13 years. Wildin David Guillen Acosta, 19 years old (A#206-799-049), was detained on his way to school. He was knocked unconscious by ICE officers who picked him up on January 28, 2016. His mother sent for him after various threats from gangs. A judge has denied his stay or removal on 3/18/2016. Pedro Arturo Salmeron, an 18-year-old ( A#206-794-982), was detained on his way to work with his father on January 26, 2016. Pedro currently has been denied a stay or removal but has a pending asylum case. Pedro was forced to leave El Salvador after receiving multiple threats by gangs. Bilmer Araeli Pujoy Juarez, an 18-year-old (A# 202-129-863), was detained on his way to work with his father on January 29, 2016. He has a stay or removal that is pending and has been granted a motion to reopen by Judge Holmes, yet ICE refuses to release him. Bilmer fled Guatemala due to threats from gangs, of which he has proof. He was significantly hurt by ICE and has severe sleep apnea. Santos Geovany Padilla-Guzman is an 18-year-old (A# 208-268-389) who was detained on his way to work on February 11, 2016. He has a pending asylum case with USCIS in Texas that was received on 3/11/16 and a motion to reopen with BIA pending, which was received on 3/11/16. He was forced to leave after his cousin was murdered by MS 13 gang members. These are just some of the few stories of the young men who are in danger of not only deportation but death if sent back to their home countries. Besides the 5 young men listed, there are also 2 more: Josue Alexander Soriano Cortez (A# 206-731-549) and Edwin Yonatan Alarez-Galvez (A#202-076-383). The undersigned ask the Department of Homeland security to stop the deportation of these students: Yefri Bertin Sorto Hernandez (A# 206-766-187), Wildin David Guillen Acosta (A# 206-799-049), Pedro Arturo Salmeron ( A# 206-794-982), Bilmer Araeli Pujoy Juarez (A# 202-129-863), Santos Geovany Padilla-Guzman (A# 208-268-389), Josue Alexander Soriano Cortez (A# 206-731-549), Edwin Yonatan Alarez-Galvez (A# 202-076-383). These students are low priority and should not be persecuted by ICE in the manner in which they currently are. If sent back, they will most likely face death due to the prominent gang activity in their home countries. Please Make a Call and Sign the petition to stop the deportation of students! Call Secretary Jeh Johnson: 202-282-8000 Call DC ICE @ (202) 732-3000 or (202) 732-3100 Sample Script: I am calling to urge ICE to stop the Deportation of Yefri Bertin Sorto Hernandez (A# 206-766-187), Wildin David Guillen Acosta (A# 206-799-049), Pedro Arturo Salmeron (A# 206-794-982), Bilmer Araeli Pujoy Juarez (A# 202-129-863), Santos Geovany Padilla-Guzman (A# 208-268-389), Josue Alexander Soriano Cortez (A# 206-731-549) and Edwin Yonatan Alarez-Galvez (A# 202-076-383).

We call for the formation of a true multi-national army, of at least 300,000 fully equipped soldiers to forcefully and effectively eliminate the IS and the terrible threat it poses to the world and everything that humanity has accomplished. If allowed to proceed unchecked, the mass murder and extermination of all those who are not aligned with their fanatical beliefs will become unstoppable, causing global destruction and plunging the world back into the dark ages. Their deluded leader is nothing less than a potential Hitler who must be stopped now, lest his genocidal global plan be fulfilled. This is the only way to stop the IS. We must stand firmly on the right side of history or there may not be much left of our history, nor of our present humankind and all its achievements and wonders.

In 2000, Ms. Katherine Harris was Florida's Secretary of State, the official in charge of making the elections fair. She was also the chair of George W. Bush's Presidential campaign, the person in charge of making sure Bush was elected. Look what happened. In 2004, Ms. Glenda Hood was in exactly the same position. So was Mr. Ken Blackwell, Secretary of State for Ohio. Despite the obvious fact that a single person cannot be in charge of making sure an election is fair and at the same time make sure one candidate wins, there was nothing illegal about this. Congress must immediately pass a law banning this conflict of interest. Any election official who takes a job working for a candidate running in that election must be forced to resign their position.

I urge you to oppose the reauthorization of the FISA Amendments Act and to do all in your power to force a real debate on the wisdom and legality of warrantless wiretapping.

We the undersigned urge WSSC to transition from its current tiered flat rate structure to a true tiered rate system by FY2017 (July 2016).

This petition is for the purpose of supporting Congressmen and Senators in supplying the government with increased income. In addition, The President should be supported in his attempts to increase the income of the United States to pay for 10 years of war and two years of needed stimulus. It is also intended to develop support in the public for increased U.S. income. The economy will fully develop when we begin to pay our bills.

Congress should pass federal legislation by Congressman Justin Amash (I-MI) ending qualified immunity for police violence and misconduct. Qualified immunity is a legal doctrine that shields police from legal liability for murder, violence, and other misconduct. Qualified immunity must end now, for the memory of George Floyd--and countless others who've suffered and died at the hand of lawless police brutality. The police should be accountable to, not immune from, the same laws they enforce. They should be accountable to, not immune from, their violation of our constitutional rights. Federal law ending qualified immunity will deter police violence by making law-breaking police accountable. It will give the public--who both fund the police, and whose protection and service is the job of the police--legal recourse for police violence. Please support and pass Congressman Amash's legislation immediately. Learn more about qualified immunity here: https://theappeal.org/qualified-immunity-explained/
