Less than 24 hours after the Senate Republicans took the first step to repeal the Affordable Care Act, 13 Democratic Senators voted against lowering drug prices for the working class. They voted down an amendment, proposed by Sen. Bernie Sanders and Sen. Amy Klobuchar, that would have allowed the import of drugs from Canada. The Democratic Senators who voted NO: Michael Bennett (CO) 202-224-5852 Cory Booker (NJ) 202-224-3224 Maria Cantwell (WA) 202-224-3441 Tom Carper (DE) 202-224-2441 Bob Casey (PA) 202-224-6324 Chris Coons (DE) 202-224-5042 Joe Donnelly (IN) 202-224-4814 Martin Heinrich (NM) 202-224-5521 Heidi Heitkamp (ND) 202-224-2043 Bob Menendez (NJ) 202-224-4744 Patty Murray (WA) 202-224-2621 Jon Tester (MT) 202-224-2644 Mark Warner (VA) 202-224-2023 According to Jezebel, some of these Democrats are among the top recipients of Big Pharma funding: "Sen. Booker received $267,338; Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA) received $254,649; Robert Casey (D-PA) received $250,730; Michael Bennet (D-CO) received $222,000" between 2010 and 2016. [1] Shame on these Democrats for voting against the working class, when they should be doing all they can to protect our healthcare!

One hundred million sharks are killed each year, primarily for the shark fin trade. Twenty-five percent of sharks, skates, and rays are threatened with extinction and populations of large sharks are crashing globally. 35 airlines including UPS, DHL, and Air China have policies refusing to participate in this unsustainable trade of endangered and threatened sharks. We call on Fed Ex to help protect sharks and ocean health by dropping shark fin and Ray gill rakers as cargo.

The Union CWA signed an agreement against the employees wishes. People come to work with Infectious viruses and spread to other employees and customer's. The company refuses to change the policy.

There were many signs that President-elect Donald Trump would be a disaster for working families, but his choice for secretary of labor—fast food CEO Andrew Puzder—is truly horrifying. Puzder's anti-worker views are no secret. He opposes raising the minimum wage and doesn’t believe millions of working people should be paid for the overtime they've worked. He supports the practice of letting corporations hire temporary or contract workers to avoid bargaining with employees. Outside of his opposition to policies that would help millions of working people, Puzder has done everything he can to cut corners and shortchange the tens of thousands of hardworking people at Carl's Jr., Hardee's and the restaurants his company owns. He's called workers at Carl’s Jr. and Hardee's—workers who have made him rich—"unskilled" and said they "don’t produce enough economic value." More than half of Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s restaurants that were investigated for wage and hour violations were found to have violated the law. He refused to pay his managers overtime they earned, saying paying them more would take away their "sense of ownership." He's talked about replacing workers with machines. Puzder's track record raises serious concerns about his qualifications. Sign the petition to tell members of the U.S. Senate to oppose his nomination for labor secretary.

The auto industry has endangered the public by producing larger, wider, and heavier vehicles. This petition aims to pass laws limiting the size of the new oversized models being sold to the American people and forcing the auto industry to eliminate these new bloated monsters from our streets and highways.

We are a group of concerned neighbors and constituents from all walks of life who stand together against this absurd cell tower construction. Our neighborhood would see property values plummet by upwards of 20% according to some studies. We believe that the homes of our neighborhood are more important than better 4g coverage. We also believe that the church they are building the tower on has been taken for a ride because English is not their first language. We will not be bullied by a corporation and we will not allow our neighbors to be bullied either.

We are a group of concerned citizens who are alarmed by the proliferation of fake news on the Internet and want to help combat this problem. Currently, many American get their news from Internet sites that include misinformation or downright lies. The spread of false news outlets is poisoning political discourse as well as affecting world events in unpredictable and dangerous ways. We believe that the Internet needs to adapt and provide a means to assist people in differentiating news based on facts from fake news that is written with the intent to deceive or for entertainment purposes.

Donald Trump's tweets are ill-conceived and at times dangerous to American foreign policy and world stability. He embarrasses not only himself but the entire country. This type of unfiltered social media vomit by the president-elect is very worrisome and a problem for our Democracy. We need to take action soon before any more damage is done to American credibility and policy. Tweeting about increasing American nuclear capability is the last straw.

We, Tiffany and Rebekah Brannan, founded the Pure Entertainment Preservation Society in October of 2016 to help save the arts in America. Our goal is to submit this petition to the seven major motion picture studios to show them that Americans are tired of corruption in the cinema. Our president, James Brannan, would head the New Production Code Administration and oversee the enforcement of the Code.

This week, we went toe-to-toe with Trump over his intimidation of government scientists -- and Trump backed down. Now, scientists are mobilizing to block Scott Pruitt’s confirmation in the Senate based on his clear anti-science record -- and they need our support to swing crucial Senate votes against Trump’s nominee.

Donald Trump does not have a mandate to enact an extremist agenda aimed at destroying some of our most critical government programs and institutions, including healthcare, public schools, and civil rights. Taken together, President-Elect Trump’s appointment choices to date present a significant threat to our democracy, to the people of our country, and to our economy. The short list includes: REPRESENTATIVE TOM PRICE, nominated for Secretary of Health and Human Services, who has made dismantling the Affordable Care Act a landmark goal of his political career; BETSY DEVOS, a leading proponent of schools vouchers, who, as Education Secretary, would be in a position to chip away at one of the most fundamental cornerstones of civil society: public education; SENATOR JEFF SESSIONS, nominated for U.S. Attorney General, who has record of racist rhetoric and was previously rejected by the Senate Judiciary Committee over his embrace of policies that would undermine basic civil rights; ANDY PUZDER, nominated for Labor Secretary, who has consistently prioritized corporate profits over the local economy and welfare of workers; STEVE BANNON, selected to be incoming chief White House strategist, who is a propagandist for white supremacy, and would bring sexism, anti-semitism, homophobia, racism and transphobia with him to the Oval Office. Selecting cabinet leaders who have a history of being anti-healthcare, anti-public school, anti-civil rights, anti-worker, and pro-white supremacy is not the America that the majority of Americans voted for. Remind Senate leaders that Donald Trump does not have a mandate, and tell them to stop his appointments now!

It's enough. The people of Hagerstown need to break the monopoly held by Antietam cable. Prices continue to go up as service options and reliability decline. My bill has gone up $30 as my service level was eliminated and I am forced to pay for a higher level of service. We need our service for school, work, and entertainment. Please sign this petition and pass it on.
