Cut and cleanout overgrown former Hearthwood East Condominiums site, 5505 Bundy Road, New Orleans East. This is a post-Katrina abandoned, blighted property.

I strongly oppose the Obama administration's plan for a 30 year program to “modernize” the US nuclear weapons arsenal. I urge the President and Congress to pursue peaceful diplomacy to reduce and eliminate nuclear weapons worldwide. As a first step, please co-sponsor the Smarter Approach to Nuclear Expenditures Act (SANE Act) (H.1534/S.831), introduced by Sen. Ed Markey and Rep. Earl Blumenauer, which would make immediate cuts of $100 billion to halt the nuclear buildup.

This petition states that citizens of New York, and those elsewhere who love and/or visit New York: - Do not want The Campbell Apartment as run and created by Mark Grossich & Hospitality Holdings, Inc. ~ over 17 years ago ~ to change hands to any new ownership or operator (including but not limited to The Gerber Group and their Principal & CEO, Scott Gerber; and their affiliates or other partnerships i.e. such as The Gerber Group Limited Partnership.) - We ask the MTA (Chairman & CEO Thomas Prendergast, Nancy Marshall - Dir. of Grand Central Terminal Development, Jeffrey Rosen - Dir. of Real Estate, and any other relevant MTA executives or employees) to cease all eviction actions towards Mark Grossich & The Campbell Apartment and specifically the eviction in place asking Mark Grossich & Hospitality Holdings, Inc. to vacate and close The Campbell Apartment by July 28th, 2016. - We want Mark Grossich & Hospitality Holdings, Inc. to remain as operator of The Campbell Apartment. We ask that The Campbell Apartment -- and specifically the cocktail space renovated by Mark Grossich -- not be handed over to any other operator. - We do not feel what is happening at The Campbell Apartment is fair or reasonable & we want it to stop. (i.e. a couple people at the MTA handing over a cultural icon / entity / institution to another operator, one who did not create it nor run it for nearly two decades.) - We feel The Campbell Apartment as run by the originators and current operators are part of the cultural fabric of New York City -- like a museum, like The Statue of Liberty -- and we are not comfortable with the cavalier and swift actions to hand it over to another operator against the will of the original creator & operator. - Mark Grossich and Hospitality Holdings, Inc. renovated a dilapidated space of historical significance at their own investment and expense (2 years and millions of dollars) --- and created a business that enhanced the value and appeal of Grand Central Station from the first day it opened; and enhanced the quality of life for New Yorkers and those who love and visit New York. For nearly two decades now. - We ask that a new lease be fairly and reasonably negotiated with Mark Grossich and Hospitality Holdings, Inc. for The Campbell Apartment located in Grand Central Station since 1999.

The time has come for birth-control pills to be sold over the counter. Countless journals and scientific evidence suggests that selling the birth control pill over-the-counter is both safe and a potential way to improve contraceptive access and use for women.

Champion a Green New Deal and mandate that all Democrats in Congressional leadership sign the No Fossil Fuel Money pledge.

New Jersey needs a mandated opt-in program for the Yellow Pages books, rather than an opt-out program. The current voluntary opt-out program does not work, creating unnecessary pollution and placing a burden on municipalities, which have to recycle the books. An opt-in program would be the most efficient system we can have, guaranteeing that only the people who want the books would receive them.

We want South Carolina to be on the right side of history by acknowledging climate change as a national emergency. And by concurring with the national youth climate strike demands (https://www.youthclimatestrikeus.org/platform) for combating climate change.

To Mary Jane Burke and The Marin County Office of Education: On behalf of and in the interest of all of the children in Marin County, we formally ask you to acknowledge and properly serve the 600+ students participating in Independent Study programs throughout the county by establishing a model that is effectively administered with proper oversight and true accountability to the Marin County Office of Education. Heartwood Collaborative currently enrolls students from across the county and they have developed a rich and tested program to serve these children. Heartwood is now poised to establish a county-wide initiative, offering a solution that is currently non-existent but is wanted and very much needed. Please take this opportunity, which we believe is the right path to a solution for hundreds of children in our county. If this opportunity is not pursued and the avenue is closed, it is likely Heartwood will be forced to file a charter petition with the Ross Valley School District. With funding in the bottom 10% of all of California’s school districts, RVSD is already burdened by a divisive and costly charter school and can’t afford the time and money required to analyze another charter petition, much less absorb the impact of administering a new charter school. Furthermore, Heartwood has no desire to impose themselves on a single district but would prefer to work collaboratively with all districts and the county. Please step in and avert this situation, pursue the best path forward and create a program that can become a model example for our State. As your constituents, we respectfully request that you: 1) Keep the path open to the right solution for the 19/20 school year, versus closing this avenue and pushing Heartwood to file a charter petition in the Ross Valley School District. 2) Rectify an unresolved need by collaborating in good faith with the leadership of Heartwood Collaborative – a 15 year+ program - to establish an Independent Study program that would serve all of Marin County, for the 19/20 school year.

No eligible American should have to choose between their job and family and their right to be heard at the polls. But with our busy everyday schedules, limiting voting to a single day can needlessly disenfranchise countless voters, particularly low-income voters, voters of color, and young voters. It's time for Congress to take action and pass nationwide early voting -- so that everyone has the flexibility they need to cast a ballot.
