1. Martin Linenko Jr. - Requesting Release from Segregation at Fairbanks Correctional Facility 
This is Nicole Smith, fiancee of Martin Linenko Jr, aka Yae Neech. Martin has never been a threat to the Fairbanks community, where he was born and raised and has strived to only become a better man and father to his family.
Since a young child he's been well known to the members of Mount Pleasant Baptist Church, participated in sports (mostly football), and spent summers doing construction jobs.
Several years back he decided to try his hand in the music business by starting a legit music label...recording music, making & selling instrumentals, collaborating with industry artists on tracks, as well as coordinating live performances here in the Fairbanks area.
The Law assumes that Martin is a threat (an expression of intention to inflict evil, injury or damage) to our community. If you know him at all, you would know that this is NOT in his character. His family and I have created a PETITION appealing to authority with RESPECT to his cause. In support of "Yae Neech" we are asking that you PLEASE take a moment of your time to SIGN THIS PETITION for him.
We GREATLY APPRECIATE all support given. WE LOVE & MISS HIM DEARLY! SO LET'S WORK TOGETHER TO BRING HIM HOME.
2. Save Union City NJ’s branch post offices
[traduccion en espanol se vea abajo]
Union City, NJ is the most densely populated city in the United States. We have a very large immigrant population, who use the post office for much more than simply buying stamps.
Our main post office is already overburdened, with long waits for service and no parking. Our many senior citizens and residents without use of a car depend on the branch offices. If the branch offices are closed, it will be a huge disservice to our community.
December 21, 2011 - February 21, 2012 is the post office’s 60 day community input period. In addition to signing this petition, it is very important to complete the survey that the postal service mailed to every residence. The survey is also available at the post office.
Finally, please contact Mayor/State Senator Brian P. Stack and let him know how you stand. Call, write or email:
Mayor’s Office
3715 Palisade Ave.
Union City, NJ 07087
SenStack@NJLeg.org
(201) 376-1942 (his cell phone)
Mayor Stack is against the closings, and will forward our correspondence to our other elected officials.
Please take action as soon as possible before February 21st. If we don’t speak up, our voices will not be heard.
Spanish translation:
Union City, NJ, es la ciudad más densamente poblada de los Estados Unidos. Tenemos una población inmigrante muy grande que utiliza la oficina de correos para mucho más que simplemente comprar estampillas.
Nuestra oficina principal de correos ya está sobrecargada, con largas esperas para el servicio y sin estacionamiento. En esta ciudad habitan muchos ciudadanos mayores y residentes que no cuentan con un vehículo para movilizarse y dependen de las sucursales. Si esas sucursales se cierran, se causara un gran perjuicio a nuestra comunidad.
Desde el 21 diciembre 2011 al 21 febrero 2012 el gobierno está evaluando la importancia de las oficinas de correos para la comunidad. . Por favor, estimado conciudadano, además de firmar esta petición, también es muy importante que complete la encuesta que el servicio postal envía por correo a cada residencia. Ese cuestionario también está disponible en la oficina de correos.
Por último, por favor póngase en contacto con el Alcalde y Senador estatal Brian P. Stack y permítale saber su opinión y su posición en este sentido. Llame, escriba o envié un correo electrónico. Estos son los datos:

El alcalde también está en contra de los cierres, y, a su vez, enviará la correspondencia que usted envíe, a otros funcionarios electos que nos representan ante el gobierno.
Por favor, tome medidas tan pronto como sea posible antes del 21 de febrero. Si no hablamos, nuestras voces no serán escuchadas.
3. I support Duffield Community Orchard
Two Duffield residents are seeking pledges of support from the wider Duffield community in order to transform an under utilised and under appreciated space in the centre of the village into a Community Orchard for the benefit of all Duffield residents.
The planned location of the Community Orchard is shown on the aerial photo and is space that was designated as a 'village green' as part of the Hawleys Colour Works housing development completed in 2002/03.
With our future generations and sustainability in mind, the orchard aims to encourage children and the wider community to forage for natural foods, fruit & nuts from a wide variety of trees/plants for free, with a view to facilitating a change in mindsets, creating opportunities to address obesity & healthy eating, and provide a better resource to connect our children and the wider community with our wider natural environment. It will also become an invaluable interactive educational resource for our 3 local schools, and will turn what is becoming an overgrown area into a better managed, more attractive, more productive space for the full Duffield community to enjoy.
The future of our community and village is your hands ....... so your help and support is appreciated
Please pledge your support and provide any comments by clicking on 'Sign the Petition' below and if you are willing to actually help us turn this vision into reality please send a seperate private message to duffieldorchard@gmail.com

4. Keep Pace University Clean of Horse Feces
Due to the manner of their inhabitance of the university perimeter, the student body requests that the NYPD Mounted Unit please pick up after their horses, including their droppings which they have left around the school for the past two months.
It is distasteful, disgusting, and rude to current and prospective students visiting the school as well as its faculty, staff, and patrons of the university. This petition serves as a device for the university to speak out against the horse poop publicly left around the vicinity of the school campus by the NYPD Mounted Unit. We feel they have abused their power and their stay around our university campus, which has left us feeling uncomfortable and disrespected.
By signing this petition, we at Pace University stand up for our rights as students and as citizens of the United States and to take action against the conditions we must live and learn in. The continual protests of university students which have thus far gone unrecognized exemplify the university president’s and NYPD’s disregard for the University’s and surrounding community’s welfare. It is incorrect to think the university does not control or have say over the situation.
We do and our voice will be heard. This is about our health, our safety, our comfort, and most importantly, about respect as a community united under an environment of learning. It is high time for the mounted police officers to comply with our requests for decency and civility. We ask them to get off their high horse, metaphorically and literally, to clean up their horse poop. Pace University is not the NYPD's personal horse stable and we request that they do not act as if it is. Every university student has the right to live and learn in a safe and comfortable environment. This concerns all students, faculty, and staff at Pace University as well as all students nationwide. We must stand up for our rights.
We, as a student body, must unite against the disrespect and disgusting conditions we have been subjected to. We do not pay this much for Pace University to endure being brushed off by university higher ups, who have allowed us to be subjected to these disgusting conditions. Let this petition signify our endurance and persistence in the matter before us.
Please sign the petition below if you wish to not smell or see horse feces everyday on your way to class and/or work.
5. Save Bayside Community Childcare
The Bayside City Council has announced it will close its only community-based childcare centres in Hampton and Sandringham.
This decision was made by the Council without consulting with staff, families or the Bayside community.
These not for profit centres have provided an essential service to Bayside families for over 30 years, and their closure will force 160 families to find alternative care. Private centres have already indicated they will not be able to respond to the overwhelming demand for places.
Disabled and at risk children have not been considered. The centres currently provide priority access for these children and a high standard of care not available elsewhere.
35 employees will lose their jobs – many have worked in the centres for 10 years or more.
The Council has not offered any alternative options for families requiring childcare.
Please sign this petition to show your support in our attempts to prevent the closure of these two much loved and needed facilities.
If you would like to join our mailing list and stay updated, please email us at saveourcentres@gmail.com
Thank you.
6. Review Imminent Threat to Sheltered Housing Funding
The proposed cuts to the 'Supporting People' funding for A2Dominion Sheltered Housing sites within the borough will adversly affect the physical, mental and practical support for the elderly and vulnerable residents resulting in the loss of their Sheltered Housing officer (Warden).
The residents currently believe that their well-being, safety on site, site management (housing stock), mental and physical health are greatly cared for under scheme as it currently stands. That the Care Line system is not adequate to replace this, that the quality of support will diminish rapidly and be another faceless representation of community care.
The consultation deadline is 31 October 2011 so this is URGENT please. The council must receive our views so you can sign this petition and /or write to Representations, Supporting People Team, Third Floor Orange, Perceval House, Uxbridge Road,Ealing,London W5 2HL or by e-mail:spteam@ealing.gov.uk.
THANK YOU, we really need and value your help.
Seabury Park has been part of the South Bronx community for many decades.
Over the years this park has gone through many changes and at this time we are trying to improve the overall wellness of the park.
Seabury Park has been cleaned so many times and still seems to always be filthy and neglected. Please help us to end the neglect to Seabury Park.
8. Dedicated Servers for CoD: Modern Warfare 3 on game consoles
While the PC gaming community has for years taken dedicated servers in networked games for granted, the console community has not had this luxury to nearly the same extent.
Instead of players connecting to dedicated servers that take on the responsibility of hosting networked games, where latency is reduced significantly, and only other limitations can affect online play such as a game’s net code. Consoles typically connect on a kind of host/client network architecture without dedicated servers as hosts, where latency is a much larger concern and can affect gameplay drastically. Some major limitations, such as network bandwidth, restrict this kind of host/client architecture from working efficiently.
With all the fan support, and huge profits generated from the Call of Duty franchise, it would not be a financial concern for Activision (one of the largest game publishers) to provide dedicated servers to the console gaming community, as well as the PC community.
9. Change the way in which Penalty Charge Notices are issued across the UK
Perhaps it is about time we changed how "parking enforcement" works. A completely new, friendly approach, not incentivised by money.
Each Council Ward can appoint its own group of "wardens", they may even be local volunteers, with the necessary powers to issue PCN's. Everyone in the ward will know who they are, and have their number to call if they have a problem. The point is however, that they will be welcoming, friendly sort of person, rather than the authoritarian set up we have now.
They will only issue tickets in the most extreme cases and will only issue a ticket as a last resort. The vast majority of PCN's issued currently are completely unnecessary and are purely issued to generate revenue - these would never get issued under this new arrangement.
I realise it may take some time to make these changes but they will be worth it if it encourages a more friendly local community.
In the UK at the moment you can steal and be fined less (or not at all), than the motorist who parks on the wrong line, displays the wrong permit, or just overstays his parking ticket. It is plainly very wrong and unfair.
Please sign the petition if you would like this to change.
London Borough of Newham (LBN) has sought to justify its decision to remove community language papers from Newham's libraries in April 2011 by arguing that the provision of newspapers and journals in community-languages creates barriers to people learning English, taking pride in 'Britishness' and prevents them from entering jobs and education.
We are concerned about the way this decision has been made, the assumptions behind it and the impact on Newham’s communities.
We believe LBN’s argument is not supported by mainstream thought or research that recognises the beneficial and complex role mother-tongue/second-language skills play in learning English as a foreign language. Neither does it address the broader value of preserving and respecting other cultures within a diverse and evolving borough.
The Government are cutting back on police.
What does this mean? It means an increase in crime and violence and an unsafe society for us and our children to live in.
Action needs to be taken and the time is now.
12. Support Second Saturday Hanalei
If you have ever attended a Second Saturday Hanalei (SSH) event and enjoyed yourself, please sign our petition to ensure its survival. It has been running successfully for over two years, having grown, evolved and adjusted accordingly to take into account any concerns by retail tenants of Hanalei.
Second Saturday Hanalei is a volunteer-run, art-focused community event. It’s purpose is to build a healthy community, in part by strengthening the connection to traditional Hawaiian values and implementing them wherever possible in contemporary life.
SSH provides a dedicated space and time for the community to gather together, watch movies, listen to local musicians and view local artists and their work. The event has become a dependable gathering for the north shore’s residents and visitors; our fun night to meet and socialize and for the art community to showcase, share and promote their work in a family-oriented environment.
Apparently now Second Saturday Hanalei cannot be held in the Hanalei Center, the grassy are where SSH erects the movie screen and we gather to view and mix amongst ourselves. This location is the best infrastructure for the event. It is a safe and centralized spot that is safe for pedestrians and children and can be seen from all around Hanalei. The coordinators are committed to handling and addressing any problems or issues the Center has faced as a result of SSH.
13. Don't Dump on Deptford's Heart
Thames Water are proposing to use green land next to Deptford Church Street and in the heart of Deptford as a worksite for the Thames Tunnel project. After works are completed a Thames Tunnel kiosk and vents to the sewage pipes will remain on the green.
We are petitioning against this because the site is valuable green space in the heart of a densely populated urban area. It is in a residential area in close proximity to two schools, a leisure centre and the High Street. Works here will have a big impact on our community. The site is also next to a grade 1 listed church and a listed railway viaduct.
We do not dispute the importance of Thames Tunnel works but we do believe there are other, more appropriate, sites available which would not so negatively affect community, buildings of historical importance and biodiversity.
14. Budapest Airport: Nyissák meg a Terminál 2A kilátóteraszát!
The observation deck of Terminal 2A at Budapest Liszt Ferenc Airport was closed due to construction works of the new terminal building.
However the construction is finished the Airport Authority is not willing to reopen this great viewing area for public.
The Arches Youth and Community Project previously ran a local youth club from two Arches on the Evelyn Estate. We first secured use of the building way back in 2002 and have been using it ever since.
In March 2008 Lewisham Council asked for the keys to be returned and a few months later another group was allowed to used the building.
We have written to Council representatives on numerous occasions and even though it is clear that we have been wrongly evicted, our complaint is yet to be upheld.
16. Petition for Lifeline's Plea for Hornsby Council Support
A significant number of Lifeline Harbour to Hawkesbury’s face-to-face counselling and support services are at risk of closure due to Lifeline’s own crisis struggle for financial viability and sustainability. Wendy Carver, Lifeline Harbour to Hawkesbury’s CEO, said “It would be an absolute tragedy if any of Lifeline’s services ceased to operate and stopped being able to provide support to people in need in our own local community.”
Lifeline has therefore reached out to Hornsby Council for assistance. Lifeline’s hope is that Hornsby Council will be able to provide them with a Council owned retail property at a subsidised rent which will assure financial survival of their multiple counselling and community services from revenue raised through the selling of high quality second hand clothing, books, brick a brac and furniture. This will ensure residents of Hornsby and Ku-ring-gai are able to continue to receive the support they deserve and need.
For over 40 years Lifeline Harbour to Hawkesbury, based at Gordon, has been providing a wide range of counselling and community service to residents of the North side of Sydney with some services having between 40-50% of clients residing in the Hornsby and Ku-ring-gai Municipalities.
For more information on our services visit our website http://www.lifeline-h2h.org.au/
Please support Lifeline Harbour to Hawkesbury by signing this petition.
17. Cinema & Bowling Alley Complex in Trowbridge Wilthire
There has been a promise of amenities for young people in Trowbridge Wiltshire for many years. Many promises have been disappointed.
There are stark few resources for young people, but The County Town of Wiltshire has failed its young people for many years. Even now, in these challenging financial times failing young people is a big mistake.
18. Russell Island Footpath from Jetty to Sandy Beach
As it stands currently, Russell Island only has a small section of footpath that covers only a couple of Km's of our wonderful Island. Many people are left unable to use all the wonderful spaces our Island has to offer because the road edges are dangerous and inaccessible to many.
Mothers with prams suffer, those with less abled bodies are also unable to reach our only sand beach, and children are unable to ride their bike or walk to school due to lack of footpaths or smooth road edging. Those without cars are hindered by the lack of footpath so therefore have no choice but to use the local cab to get from place to place, putting a large dent in their weekly budgets.
19. Save a Natural Heritage Area: Deny Aydan Court Rezoning
A developer is proposing 90 condominiums on Highway 54 east of Meadowmont in a state-designated Significant Natural Heritage Area and adjacent to the Upper Little Creek Wildlife Impoundment.
20. Reinstate Funding for Occasional Care
It has been announced that funding will stop on the 31st December 2011 for for the Take a Break Occasional Child Care program provided at neighbourhood houses and community centres across Victoria.
This program provides a valuable service for carers to take a short break, they are affordable to all and encourage stronger, closer more caring communities.
21. Campaign for additional reception class for St. Werburghs by Sept 2011
Hello, my name is Rob Tinkler and I have set up Facebook page ‘Local schools for local kids’ as a support group for parents unhappy with the places and schools that they have been offered in the local school admissions allocations.
On Friday 6th May 2011 we held a public meeting to discuss the matter and push for a solution by September’s entrance date.
In attendance were local councillors Jon Rogers, Gus Hoyt, Clare Campion- Smith and the council officer responsible for school admissions Mick Brannigan ( Service Manager; Capital, Assets and Access) as well as approximately 25 parents.
A lot of issues and possible solutions were discussed (I enclose a copy of the minutes from the meeting) the general consensus was that St. Werburghs and the local area needed another school in order to provide local schooling for local children.
22. Allow gardening and food growing on Brighton Mound
The Mound is a food growing project in the heart of Brighton's North Laine which has attracted a lot of positive attention over the past few months because it has transformed a space derelict for 15 years into a flourishing community garden.
But not all the attention has been positive: despite the fact that the owners of the land do not have the planning permission they need to develop it they are nonetheless forcing the local community gardeners to leave so that it can return to it's previous state of dereliction.
The gardeners want to stay until the owners are ready to start actively developing the site, so we can continue growing food and use the garden as a space where the community can meet and learn about local, sustainable food production and it's increasing importance in a world with it's resources fast running out.
The Taylor Road Day Centre is a community centre in Mitcham providing day services for elders as well as for the youth of today to get to know one another within the community. The centre is also used by a number of local agencies, voluntary groups and also different ethnic backgrounds (English, Caribbean, asian etc) .
Unfortunately the government and the council don't see Taylor Road centre as a way forward but would rather get rid of it by starting to kick everyone out at least two months earlier without notice.
24. Save Our Fields - Charterhouse Residents Association
If you do not know the background to this battle or would like a recap, please click on the following link, Keri-Anne's Facebook notes, which will take you to a Facebook page that has the original preamble. You can also get more in depth information from Dave's Facebook notes and up-to-date information from Charterhouse Fields Facebook page and our You Tube channel:
Latest from the Charterhouse Residents' Association Leaflet
You may have heard or read reports about the result of the campaign to Save Charterhouse Fields. We thought we should keep you informed.
The Council have granted the lease of part of the fields to Blue Coat school.
Does this mean we have lost?
- No! *They had to add in to the lease the rights of residents to use and access the land.
Our rights are clearly stated. - *Also, all the northern half of the fields will now be registered as 'Public Open Space'.
- *The school and council have declared there is no intention to fence off any fields.
So, the lease talks of our rights and the council say they agree with dual use of the fields by both the school and the community.
BUT ... Those concessions we won from the Council are not legally guaranteed, indeed parts of the lease contradict our rights. It is helpful to Coventry citizens that our rights are stated, but we cannot be confident that in the longer run those rights will be legally protected.
That's why at a recent packed meeting the residents' group unanimously agreed to continue to support Councillor Dave Nellist's application for the fields to be made a Village Green. That way, public rights to the land would be established in law.
In summary, Charterhouse Fields was public land left to and bought for the citizens of Coventry. We have not yet won full legal rights to the land because of the resistance of Coventry council, a council that is supposed to be there to represent us! But we are much further ahead in terms of our rights of use than we were in April when the council decided to give the land to the school.
WHERE DOES THIS LEAVE US AND THE SCHOOL?
The school say if we win Village Green status, they won't be able to use the fields. But this is not so.
We residents have never disagreed with dual use by both ourselves and the school.
Currently we believe we should refrain from using areas in use by pupils for lessons. If Village Green status is won, we will give the same agreement to the school as applies currently, organising restraint of our use, certainly until the school's future use of the old allotments is determined, and beyond if agreed.
All a Village Green would mean is our long term legal rights to the area are established.
So we continue to urge residents to use common sense and not use areas pupils are using for lessons and keep the fields clean. We should continue to show responsibility and coexist with the school.
Thank you! Can we thank you deeply for all the brilliant support from the neighbourhood for the campaign to keep the fields public. If we and Councillor Nellist hadn't reacted so quickly in March/April it could have been very different. The council told us there was nothing we could do, that if we resisted we may lose more of the fields. The marvellous campaign proved all their arguments wrong.
We forced a U-turn on the council. But it was through gritted teeth that they conceded points to us.
They refused to even consider our hard earned evidence at the recent council meeting. That is why the campaign must go on. We cannot let down our guard.
Best wishes, Charterhouse Residents' Association.
So, if you live in Coventry or have lived in Coventry and have used the fields at some point, then we may like to speak to you about using your comments in order to support our legal campaign. Also, if there is any support you would like to give the campaign, then please drop us an email on Charterhouse.Fields@gmail.com and we will be in touch.
To reiterate the last preamble:
"Now is the time for us to unite against the powerful few in order to protect what is ours. Today, it's the Charterhouse Fields the Council are willing to sign away, but tomorrow it could be YOUR Open Space.
Together, we can win!"
25. Support New Reader Libraries
As our supporters will know, we believe a national public library service is vital to the democratic impulse which lead to the great Libraries Act of 1850.
There is some great work going on in the public library service, and we want to celebrate that (see Libraries We Love) , but change is needed.
Libraries could do much more to meet social and individual needs. New thinking and additional money needs to be brought so that libraries can reach out to the greatest and growing need.
Our own experience shows that shared reading can play a practical and important role in delivering outcomes in public health, employment and educational attainment and we want to further develop the reach of the library services to deliver these and other outcomes.
We want to work with library staff and local authorities to bring these great changes about.
26. Revitalize Downtown Hopewell
What comes to mind when you think of Downtown Hopewell? It may not be the most euphoric or happy thought. For some time, economic activity in the downtown Hopewell area has continued to stagnate. With its unique historical and cultural attributes, Hopewell has the potential to be a vibrant community.
The Hopewell Downtown Partnership (HDP) is an organization that will partner with local government, existing community and business organizations, as well as our richly diverse community at large, to develop and implement a program for a healthy, vibrant, and prosperous central downtown district. This program will entail new retail shopping, improvements to existing businesses, casual and fine dining restaurants, and entertainment for citizens of all ages.
The HDP will partner with the Virginia Main Street program which has a proven track record of successful downtown revitalizations in cities throughout Virginia. From 2005 to 2009 Virginia Main Street has been able to assist in the creation of almost 5,000 new jobs, 1,500 new businesses, 1,600 rehabilitation projects and has logged over 361,000 volunteer hours.
In addition, for every $1 invested it has seen a return of $22.25 for all investment and $15.01 for private investment.
We need community support to let our city council know that the citizens of Hopewell care about their downtown community and would like to see it brought back to life. We have a special opportunity at this time to ask city council to approve in its budget, specific funding for an organization that will do just that. With the support of the Main Street foundation, our own community and government, we are confident that measurable positive changes can be made within our downtown community.
The current government policy of the "Big Society" will heavily rely on volunteers in the local community.
Having been a senior volunteer for a national charity for some 30 years I recently, along with several other senior volunteers resigned over a major internal disagreement with the charities national headquarters chief & salaried staff.
On attempting to pursue a grievance it was refused, as I had left. Then on trying to raise a case for "Constructive Dismissal" we found we had absolutely no protection under any UK employment legislation as we were "only volunteers".
Charities have to adhere to all Health & Safety legislation it is time they also had to adhere to fair personnel practices........
28. More Fairtrade Products in Schools - Fairtrade the Fair Way
On average, producers are able to sell only 20% of their output through Fairtrade channels; the rest of it still goes to the ordinary market...thus proving the need for us to buy more products of this nature.
Our petition demands for more Fairtrade products to be sold on our supermarket shelves, regardless of cost, and for more of these products to be available in local schools in order to encourage their sale and set an example for future generations.
29. Hexthorpe River Corridor Restoration
Hexthorpe Flatts is a public park located on the site of a former limestone quarry in Doncaster. The site has been continually developed since 1902 with the aim of creating a park that is safe, accessible and enjoyable to all.
The riverside path is a valuable feature of the park; it connects the two local towns of Hexthorpe and Sprotborough and also forms part of the Trans Pennine Trail. A wide range of wildlife has been seen at this site including otters, foxes, grass snakes, & potentially water voles (UK protected species).
However, the area has not been well looked after in the past and has become a ‘no-go’ area in the main with a reduced value for wildlife due to it being dwarfed by non-native Himalayan Balsam. Visitors also feel enclosed and unsafe when walking the pathway due to the density of Balsam. The local community wish to change this.
Volunteer groups will pull by hand 1000m2 of Himalayan Balsam before composting on-site as habitat piles. Although labour intensive it is the best way of preventing its spread. This will then allow the river bank to naturally recolonise with native flora and fauna and the rotting Balsam will create new habitat for invertebrates elsewhere. It will also mean people can better access the site and feel safer whilst doing so.
Funding is needed for this project to happen. It is supported by Friends of Hexthorpe Park, Living Streets, Hexthorpe Primary School and many other local people and organisations.
30. No to Adult User Fees Proposed For Jimmie Simpson
The 2011 City budget proposes to add adult user fees at Jimmie Simpson. This means that unless you qualify for the city’s “Welcome Policy” that Adult Programs at Jimmie Simpson will cost between $48 and $75 for a 9 week session.
If we don't do anything about it now, the City can continue doing this for all the other free community centers that some of us need.
