There has been a huge upswing in author’s ebooks being returned to Amazon AFTER they have been read. As a reader this is VERY upsetting. Yes, Amazon’s return policy allows it. However, that doesn’t make it right. When you have read the book, you CONSUMED the product. Returning a book after reading 10-20% is one thing. But when the book has been read in it’s entirety it should not be allowed to be returned. End of discussion. One author had triple digit returns for March! That same author had single digit returns the prior TWO months combined. Authors are not being paid accurately for their art. Please, Amazon change your policy! Read more

Petition to University Interscholastic League, Greg Abbott
The UIL has cancelled all Spring Sports/Competitions. ***We do not need money at this time, not necessary to donate.***
Countless high school seniors will not compete in Baseball, Softball, Track, OAP, Academics, Soccer, or any of the other Spring activities. These seniors have worked towards and dreamed about participating in these activities one last time but now that has been taken away. These activities could take place in June, July, or August after the COVID-19 Pandemic has peaked and it is safe. Football and Marching Band start practice before school starts so why can't other activities start after school has ended.
Kids grow up playing with their friends and acting out the final seconds of the state championship game. "It's bottom of the 7th inning, Joe Q. Public is at the plate with 2 strikes against him, Joe can win the state championship for his school with a hit, the pitcher delivers the pitch, Joe swings, the ball is in the gap, the crowd is going crazy, the first run scores, the 2nd runner is rounding 3rd and coming home, the fielder has the ball and fires it home, the runner slides in and with a cloud of dust the umpire yells out, Safe!" Instead all we will here is crickets. No lifelong memories created. No life lessons learned.
We teach our children to dream big, set big goals, and then work hard to achieve them. They have done that and they have worked hard to reach those goals. Now "Poof" they don't even get the chance to try. But, they could still compete. Do it during the summer. Yes, it will be difficult. Yes, we have never done it like this. Yes, it is out of the ordinary, but don't our children deserve it. Don't take no for an answer, find a way. Where there's a will there's a way!!!
Play the Spring sports in the Summer.Read more

In July, 2013, my daughter was diagnosed with a bone infection. After several months of hospital visits and alot of fighting with doctors and nurses to get my daughter the care she needed (we were turned away from our local hospital 3 times without seeing a doctor and the one time we did I was told she was making up not being able to walk because I was a single mother who worked full time, we had to travel 2 and a half hours to the next town so that I could get her admitted to the hospital there) I was diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). My employer made me redundant due to 'business operational issues'. My Income Protection insurer (CommInsure) said that my claim was accepted via phone and sent me paperwork, a few months later when I still had no money coming through I discovered they were attempting to find medical history to cancel my policy. After another few months they found something and accused me of lying on my form, later they agreed that I wasn't aware and understood I acted on advice from my financial planner when completing the form (he advised what was and what was not relevent) and so called it 'innocent non-disclosure' - and still cancelled my policy. I have attempted to discus this with CBA on numerous occasions and have been told that since I have nothing in writing from my financial planner when I set up the claim I can not fight this descision. My question is how and why would I have anything in writing when the process is that the paid financial planner does all of that? How many other clients of his are in the same position as me or don't know that they are paying for a policy that would only be cancelled if they made a claim? And why do CBA staff keep apologising to me for what happened but do nothing to help?
During my battle with PTSD I was also battling with CBA, unable to focus wholelly on my own recovery. My daughter and I had to move out of our home and I sold alot of our personal possessions. I have since (almost a year after my diagnoses) moved us back into our home and returned to work. I am now battling to catch up financially. I am faced with the horrible reality that selling our home may be the best option for my daughter and I. I attempted to survive off a single parent pension and begging creditors to give me financial hardship. I can not discuss my hardship with a CBA financial planner (despite paying a premium which covers the cost of one) as CBA advised my financial planner to cease any contact with me.
I would like CBA to review their duty of care, to check all of my financial planner's client files and to pay the income protection insurance payments they advised me they would pay before cancelling the policy.
If they were to pay out this claim (approx $25,000 - a very small amount considering their annual profit margins!) I would be able to stop the ongoing calls from creditors and pay the arrears on my mortgage, ensuring that my little girl and I can stay settled after an already very rough time.
Thank you for taking the time to read my petition. Please help me keep our home and raise awareness of CBA's terrible duty of care and poor practices.Read more
