I am a bisexual white male, who just has good friends of other skin colors that I am tired of seeing completely taken advantage of by the higher class. I'm tired of seeing the higher classes get people who specifically ring true to them on GOP side. I'm tired of the Democratic thinking small moves are the way to go. I'm tired of the gridlock that spanned for most of Obama's presidency. If he had been allowed to push through ACA earlier(GOP shutting down congress) we could have had something that actually worked by the time he left office. Instead the incomplete mess that we have will be scrapped and millions will lose insurance, this is not a better situation the better situation at least would have been to work from what we had.

Americans who oppose lies, bigotry, bullying, misogyny, and wholesaling of ignorance want to put first things first. We want to make clear that, whatever the economic issues, whatever the need for change, we cannot sell out basic moral values for economic and political objectives. Many voters set aside these ethical and moral standards for what they thought would be the economic gain and political change they think we need. We cannot begin there. We cannot build anything positive on such a base. First we need to unequivocally reject these evils. Then we can get our economic and political house in order. Not the other way around. What next? Principled, reasoned, rigorous, non-violent resistance. Please forward and circulate on social media.

When the will of the American majority is forcefully ignored by an antiquated system, it is time to abolish it and adopt a fair voting system where our votes actually do count. If there is more than one candidate running and the top candidate does not receive more than 50% of the vote, there should be a run-off vote between the top two candidates. This is fair. It is not fair or American to force the clear loser of an election upon the people.

Twice in 20 years Democrats have lost a national presidential election while still carrying the popular vote.

Tragically, Donald J. Trump is the president-elect of the United States of America.[1] As we watched state after state turn red, we could not escape the realization that the country was taking a sharp turn for the worst. To be clear, we’re under attack and we're scared for our families and loved ones. And we know we must resist, and change the culture that allowed Trump to rise to power. The stakes have never been higher. We have work to do and we need to be powerful enough to organize and refuse to support Trump’s regime and its heinous agenda. Pledge to resist Trump, defend those who will be targeted by his hate, and please ask your friends and family to do the same because no one should go it alone. 1. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/09/us/politics/hillary-clinton-donald-trump-president.html

Israel’s ambassador to the U.S. Ron Dermer is set to receive an award from the Center for Security Policy. CSP head Frank Gaffney claims that Hillary Clinton’s top aide Huma Abedin has ties to terrorist groups. Gaffney has suggested that President Obama might be a Muslim, that Muslim members of Congress shouldn’t be given access to classified information, and that white nationalist Jared Taylor’s website is "wonderful." Donald Trump cited a bogus survey Gaffney produced as justification for his proposed ban on Muslims. [1] The Southern Poverty Law Center classifies the Center for Security Policy as a hate group. [2] J Street has called on Ambassador Dermer to refuse the award and to condemn the dangerous activities and views of the CSP and Frank Gaffney. [3] Urge Members of Congress to press Ambassador Dermer to refuse this award and condemn this hate group by signing our petition.

Protestors at the Standing Rock #NoDAPL protest have alleged that police have jammed their cell phone communications [1] and have spied on their communications. [2] Cell phone jamming by state or local authorities is illegal, and general surveillance of protesters without probable cause violates the Fourth Amendment. Proving or disproving allegations about jamming is very difficult for anyone except the Federal Communications Commission [FCC]. Only the FCC can work with wireless providers, protesters, and local law enforcement to find out definitively what’s going on. The FCC is the only expert agency with authority to require law enforcement to disclose their use of any wireless devices and the only agency with the expertise to assess what is actually happening. If the FCC investigates and finds that there is no illegal jamming happening, then it can settle this concern. If the FCC discovers that there is illegal jamming happening, it has an obligation to expose the jamming and use its power under federal law to order local law enforcement to stop interfering with First Amendment rights of freedom of speech and freedom of the press. [3] Congress and the President may request the FCC to take appropriate action to determine whether illegal jamming is taking place, and whether law enforcement have violated the terms of the FCC license to use IMSI Catchers ("Stingrays") by expressly requiring local law enforcement to use IMSI Catchers in accordance with due process. The Administration can order the Justice Department to investigate whether local law enforcement have violated the civil rights of the protesters through unlawful surveillance and illegal disruption of their freedom to communicate and freedom of the press under the First Amendment. Urge President Obama & Congress to act to protect the First and Fourth amendment rights of #NoDAPL protesters at Standing Rock by signing our petition.

Every voter deserves to have their voice heard and vote counted. But according to the Washington Post & others, some Trump supporters don’t agree -- they’re targeting Clinton voters with fake ads that falsely claim you can vote by text message. The ads are made to look like official campaign ads -- one says “Avoid the line. Vote from home. Text ‘Hillary’ to 59925,” with a picture of Clinton and her campaign’s logo. Even worse, many of these deceptive ads feature and are targeted at Black voters and Spanish speakers. Activists have asked Twitter to remove them, but Twitter says that attempting to deceive voters doesn’t violate its terms of service. That’s no excuse for letting trolls use your platform to discourage Americans from making their voices heard. And while they've deleted some of the deceptive posts, there's more out there -- and no plan from Twitter to prevent this from happening again or to change its terms of service. We need to put immediate, massive public pressure on Twitter to take these deceptive ads down. Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey is looking to sell the company right now, so they’ll do anything to avoid bad press. It’s great that new technology has made voting easier and more accessible -- like online voter registration and automatic voter registration. But there’s no such thing as voting by text message -- and lying about it to trick voters into staying home hurts our democracy. Twitter must take a decisive stand against voter deception, stop allowing trolls use its platform to confuse and discourage voters, and remove any and all ads on its platform that use false information to prevent Americans from showing up at the polls.

On October 28, Senator Bernie Sanders sent a letter to President Obama requesting that he intervene to protect Native Americans peacefully protesting the Dakota Access Pipeline. [1] At least 140 people were arrested at the construction site in Cannon Ball, N.D., last Wednesday after police moved in with tanks and riot gear, using sound cannons, pepper spray and rubber bullets. Hundreds of Native American protectors have gathered at the site since April to protest the pipeline’s construction on land they claim is tribal under the 1851 Treaty of Fort Laramie. States which have recently deployed personnel against the Standing Rock protests include Wisconsin, Indiana, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wyoming, and Nebraska, according to an October 23 press release from the Morton County Sheriff's Department. [2] Some Minnesota elected officials called on Minnesota authorities not to send police officers to the Dakota Access Pipeline protest at Standing Rock after it was revealed that the Hennepin County Sheriff had done so. [3] Urge Governor Pence and Indiana legislators to discourage Indiana law enforcement agencies from sending police officers to the #NoDAPL protest at Standing Rock by signing our petition.

On Friday, October 28, Senator Bernie Sanders sent a letter to President Obama requesting that he intervene to protect Native Americans peacefully protesting the Dakota Access Pipeline. [1] At least 140 people were arrested at the construction site in Cannon Ball, N.D., Wednesday after police moved in with tanks and riot gear, using sound cannons, pepper spray and rubber bullets. Hundreds of Native American protectors have gathered at the site since April to protest the pipeline’s construction on land they claim is tribal under the 1851 Treaty of Fort Laramie. Sen. Sanders asked that President Obama direct the Justice Department to send observers to the site to protect protestors’ safety and First Amendment rights; call on North Dakota Governor Dalrymple to remove the National Guard from the protest camp; and direct the Army Corps of Engineers to issue an order to stop work on construction of the pipeline near the protest site to reduce tensions while awaiting judicial action. Sanders again called on the president to suspend construction of the pipeline until the Army Corps of Engineers completes a full cultural and environmental review. Urge President Obama and Members of Congress to take action to protect the protestors at Standing Rock by signing our petition.
