Dear Governor Cuomo, We are NY tough and see that right now COVID is taking over the State. COVID metrics are rising at an alarming rate, hospital capacity is dwindling and our health care workers are exhausted. As New Yorkers who follow the science, we have seen transmission rates and positivity rise greatly since October. We see the maps and dashboards showing increasing number of cases, hospitalizations and deaths. Briefings assert that living room gatherings are the main culprit while presenting minimal supporting data. The statement is then used to minimize the role that schools, bars and restaurants have and justify keeping them open. However, we have read multiple studies showing schools, bars, restaurants and group gatherings all drive transmission. We believe more aggressive mitigation strategies need to be implemented, and respectfully urge you to reinstate NY PAUSE measures immediately. We also want people who read the history of this pandemic to know that citizens were aware of the science and put forth this petition to ask that we take the necessary steps to stop this virus. Specifically, we ask that you: 1. Move all schools to remote instruction and develop regional assistance plans for essential workers impacted by school closures. Our State has not gone below 400 new positive cases since the beginning of the pandemic. In the summer, COVID was quietly seeding until schools and colleges opened. We are now at spring levels of transmission with the entire state being impacted. Despite efforts at widespread masking and distancing, the evidence points towards significant asymptomatic spread occurring within schools around the world, causing the Reproductive number in the community to rise. While testing in schools may not show this (in part due to tests used), the community is suffering from in person schooling. 2. Close bars and restaurants, allowing take-out only. Create campaigns that can be used to promote take-out that local governments can distribute out through Chambers and economic development. 3. Limit the size of groups in gatherings, as well as store occupancy. A campaign asking New Yorkers to pivot to curbside service, online shopping and shipping whenever possible should be implemented. 4. Close workplaces for those who can work from home. We recognize that these measures may be difficult for people to understand, thus we ask that a campaign to educate people about aerosol transmission be developed to show why these places are the sources of infection. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/faq.html?s=09#Spread 12/17/2020 update: These particles can be inhaled into the nose, mouth, airways, and lungs and cause infection. This is thought to be the main way the virus spreads.

Senate Republicans shouldn't change the rules to confirm Judge Gorsuch. That's like taking steroids to hit more home runs. If his positions are not moderate enough to earn 60 votes, the President needs to find a new nominee who is truly moderate. We urge all party leaders to do everything in their power to find and confirm a true consensus nominee.

Our new neighbor, Kim Cooper, scares the neighborhood kids everyday. She yells, threatens them, cusses at them, tries to hit them with belts when she gets the opportunity, often chasing them. Last month she injured a 17 year old boy by striking him in the head with a blunt object causing him to bleed out.

The food waste composting project that Ecoverde has established in East Aurora, NY is one of a kind and is taking steps toward making a cleaner future for everyone. Unfortunately, concerned neighbors are fighting against it without understanding the positive impact that this project is making on our environment as shown in this video: https://www.wkbw.com/news/ecoverde-creates-soil-from-food-waste

Please Common Council, don't stand in the way of progress for Richmond, Indiana: vote AGAINST the ordinance that stops the development of new walking and biking paths. Hundreds and hundreds of residents participated in the planning to get us this far, and we can't afford to say "no thanks" to the funding that will help us be a more appealing regional destination for young people, students and tourists.

Paul Ryan just held a news conference and with a straight face hailed his achievement in passing legislation that strips millions of chronically ill taxpayers of their itemized deduction for medical expenses. Laughably, he boasts of closing a loophole. Our only hope rests with the Senate -- please sign my petition and do whatever it takes to pressure them not to abandon the sick!

We the undersigned concerned citizens and voters have seen Marc Fishman with his four children and believe he is a loving, dedicated and caring father. We believe Mr. Fishman's children Joanna, Jonah, Aidan and Skye should be reunited with their father and that Judge Klein of the Family Court of New Rochelle should vacate the order suspending visitation and custody immediately.
