Congress must fully investigate and hold public hearings on the massive no-bid contract awarded to the two-employee Montana company Whitefish Energy to rebuild the Puerto Rican power grid devastated by Hurricane Maria. Whitefish Energy is located in Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke's hometown. The contract also contains troubling provisions that prevent claims against Whitefish for delays AND prevents government entities from "the right to audit or review the cost and profit elements" of the contract. We deserve the answers to why this massive contract was awarded to this tiny company with these strange and troubling clauses.

In the 2016 election, 65 percent of Americans identified the internet, or an online platform, as their leading source of information. Yet our outdated transparency rules — which still include references to telegrams and typewriters — don't require adequate disclosure for online ads. No matter if it’s organizations with ties to Russia or wealthy special interests at home, Americans have a right to know who is paying for online political ads. More than three in four Americans — 78 percent — want full disclosure of who paid for political ads posted to social media platforms. That includes 80 percent of Republicans and 82 percent of Independents. It’s time for the FEC to make it happen.

It does not seem like main stream Corporate America is taking the issue of sexual harassment seriously, as evidenced by Sinclair Broadcasting Group's considering putting Bill O'Reilly in a position of power, from which he can once again sexually harass women. It is obvious that Bill O'Reilly does NOT take personal responsibility for his actions, given his recently aired statement in which he blames God for his problems. He shows absolutely NO remorse!!! It is time for American citizens to have a place to register their outrage at the continued harassment/abuse of women, Sincerely, Me Too

Facebook enabled Russian interference in the United States election in 2016, but refuses to provide a full account to the public. In fact, it has recently removed data that allowed independent researchers to understand the nature and scale of the problem. American citizens that use Facebook deserve to know how they were exposed to Russian disinformation and propaganda. Facebook should provide this data to users in an application that makes it easy to understand. Users should be able to see how content and advertising messages from identified Russian sources appeared in their timeline, whether they interacted with such media, and basic metrics that quantify their exposure.

The mass shootings must stop. The NRA enables the means by which mass casualties can occur.

We've seen an escalation in gun violence in all areas of life, and in more mass shootings with larger and larger amount of dead and injured. NO one has a need for an assault rifle and other military type weapons.

We and our families live in fear of assault rifles and massive amounts of ammunition falling into the hands of murderers, as seen recently in Sutherland Springs, Las Vegas, Sandy Hook, and other places. It's time to stop talking and praying and act. My representative, John Carter, has received $27,014 in NRA support. Demand Representative John Carter give back or donate the money you received from the NRA to a group that supports the victims of gun violence.

Our elected officials should not be accepting campaign contributions from the National Rifle Association. How can they be unbiased on NRA matters that come before them if they are receiving NRA money. We sent them to Washington to work on our behalf. Ninety percent of voters say they want background checks on all gun sales. And yet, the people we send to vote on our behalf do nothing to protect the American people from the proliferation of guns.

NRA and their responsibility for gun violence in this country.

Representative Ken Buck has received $800,544 in NRA support. My family owns guns which we have had to use on injured livestock and wild dogs attacking our livestock, but we do not support the NRA nor do we believe that anyone needs an assault weapon. I have lost one friend to gun violence and have watched my grandchildren become terrified of going to movies and being in crowd situations. Enough is enough.

An investigation and open rescue at Saba Live Poultry in Oakland found animals gasping on their own blood, collapsed on the cage floor, and cannibalizing one another in squalid conditions. As a city of animal lovers, there is no place for such a facility in San Francisco... or anywhere else in the world. We are asking the city of San Francisco to reject the expansion of this national chain and take a stand for animal rights. Animal rescue, and not animal torture, should be promoted by the city, and preventing the expansion of slaughter operations is a crucial affirmation of our collective values.

The Democrats say they support meaningful government action to stop gun violence, but they're being pushed around by Republicans and the industries which line their pockets. Thoughts and prayers are appreciated, but we need the DNC to reject donations from the gun industry—and some of the other worst offenders like the tobacco and payday loan industries. We lost our daughter in Aurora, and our heart breaks everytime someone with a gun unleashes carnage on innocent Americans. But we will continue to speak up. We will not go away. Please sign the petition and share. Also please call Chairman Tom Perez at 202-863-8000 and tell him you want the DNC to reject contributions from these industries which are responsible for the death and injury of so many Americans from all political parties!
