#312016-06-30 09:12It is about time for SASL to be recognized as a 12th language so that we Deaf people have equal rights as hearing people and access to social media etc |

#322016-06-30 09:26Our Bill of right states that "Everyone has the right to use the language and to participate in the cultural life of their choice" and goes further to say that "Everyone has the right of access to— (a) any information held by the state; and (b) any information that is held by another person and that is required for the exercise or protection of any rights. (2) National legislation must be enacted to give effect to this right" Therefore what we are petitioning here is not asking for a favour but a DEMAND that our government MUST live up to its promises. |

#402016-06-30 16:45SASL need to be officially recognised because Deaf people still exist including me..I want the world to know it so that they can communicate with us.. You see people tend to exchange language and cultures of other people,may that applies same to Deaf people... "As long as there are Deaf,we shall have sign.I hope that you all will cherish and defend this beautiful language as the noblest gift that God has given to us" SASL must rise! |

Cancel NPC's Car Park Management Contract in GMV West
The Issue The leaseholders of Greenwich Millennium Village (GMV) feel strongly that the decision to have parking enforcement in our private car parks—specifically those in Holly Court, Maurer Court, Metcalfe Court, and Moseley Row—was made without proper consultation with us. This lack of dialogue and transparency has resulted in a management system that does not align with the interests and needs of our community. One of the primary reasons for our concern is the imposition of parking enforceme...

Hardworking People Against AB 928
Assembly Bill 928 is a reckless, poorly written legislative proposal. Whether it's for breeding, showing, rescuing, or keeping roosters for personal, cultural, or spiritual reasons, this bill undermines our way of life. It affects thousands across the state who cherish and maintain these animals as an integral part of our lives. Assembly Bill 928, under the guise of regulating cockfighting, does not distinguish between illegal activities and responsible rooster ownership. Legitimate breeders an...

The adoption and ratification of a new calendar for the United Global Trade Organization
To whom it may concern, I hope this article finds you well. **The Case for a New Calendar System Based on a Deck of Cards** The current Gregorian calendar, though widely accepted and functional, has long been criticized for its irregularities and inconsistencies. Months vary in length from 28 to 31 days, making planning and scheduling less intuitive. Adopting a new calendar system with "twelve plus one" months of 28 days each, and an additional "transition day" at the end of the year—would br...

Oppose Islamophobia Definition
We the undersigned oppose any government definition of so-called ‘Islamophobia’. We assert our freedom to expose and oppose the errors and violence of the Islamic religion and to bring the truth of the Gospel to Muslims. We deplore the inherent bias of the Government ‘Working Party on Anti-Muslim Hatred / Islamophobia’ in which every member is either a Muslim activist or, in the case of its chairman, Dominic Grieve KC, an apologist for Islam. We are dismayed that the sole focus of the ‘Working...
