WV has some of the highest rates for utilities despite being one of the poorest states in the nation. Families are struggling with payments and shut off notices. The programs that help are underfunded and only assist the most destitute among us despite the lower/middle class who are picking up the slack. Utilities are needed to live our daily lives and we are witnessing more and more shut off notices. Utilities should be a human right.  .

Others should join this campaign for change because creating an inclusive and accepting school environment benefits everyone—not just LGBT+ students or those who express themselves differently. When all students feel safe and respected, it leads to better mental health, increased academic achievement, and a stronger sense of community. Discrimination and exclusion harm the entire school culture by fostering fear, division, and missed opportunities for understanding. By standing up for fairness and dignity, supporters can help ensure that schools are places where every child has the opportunity to thrive without fear of bullying or judgment. This campaign is about affirming basic human rights and modeling kindness, empathy, and respect for future generations. Joining together amplifies our voices and demonstrates a united commitment to building a better, more equitable educational environment for all.

This petition matters because the “Tr*mpstein” Files Transparency Act was meant to finally shine a light on one of the most powerful criminal networks in modern history and to deliver real accountability for the victims of Jeffrey *pstein and his associates. When the Department of Justice withholds or alters records, especially those tied to serious allegations. It undermines the rule of law and weakens the public’s faith that justice applies to everyone, no matter how powerful they are. Congress promised transparency and bipartisan oversight, not selective disclosure or partisan spin. When lawmakers misrepresent what the law requires or ignore the DOJ’s failure to release key evidence, it betrays survivors who have already spent years fighting to be heard. Calling for a full and fair investigation isn’t about politics. It’s about restoring integrity to our institutions, protecting victims’ rights, and proving that no one is beyond accountability when truth and justice are on the line.

This petition is important because the Epstein Files Transparency Act was passed to shed light on one of the most powerful criminal networks in recent history and to ensure real accountability for the victims of Jeffrey Epstein and his associates. When the Department of Justice appears to withhold or alter records—especially those involving serious allegations—it undermines both the rule of law and the public’s faith that justice applies equally to everyone, no matter how powerful.    Congress promised transparency and bipartisan oversight, not selective disclosure or partisan spin. If Members of Congress misrepresent what the law requires or look the other way when the DOJ withholds key evidence, that betrays the survivors who have already endured years of silence and dismissal.    Demanding a full and fair investigation isn’t about politics—it’s about restoring integrity to our institutions, protecting victims’ rights, and reaffirming that no one is above scrutiny when justice and truth are at stake.

The Original Citizens Jurisdiction and Protection Act is a proposed federal law designed to clarify jurisdictional authority and prevent the unlawful detention of Native American citizens by federal immigration enforcement agencies the bill affirms tribal sovereignty recognizes Native Americans as U.S. citizens and establishes clear procedures when immigration agents encounter native individuals in the course of their duties The issue at hand:  Native American citizens are increasingly subject to improper stops detentions and transfers by US Customs and Border protection and immigration customs enforcement these incidents stem from jurisdictional confusion, racial profiling, and a failure to recognize tribal citizenship in sovereignty. Native Americans - who are citizens of the United States and members of sovereign nations have been detained in immigration facilities despite having no immigration status issues and there is currently no federal statute that explicitly limits immigration enforcement authority in these situations or establishes a required handoff to appropriate criminal jurisdiction.

She was taken wrongfully away from her family. We need her. She is our main provider. She is miles away from us and we want to help and get her name and case out there to help us get her out and fight her case outside the facility. Our mother is a loving and caring person. She has no criminal record and all we want it to help her out and get her out.  La separaron injustamente de su familia. La necesitamos, es nuestro principal sustento. Está lejos de nosotros y queremos ayudarla a que su nombre y su caso sean conocidos para que podamos sacarla de la detencion y defender su caso. Nuestra madre es una persona cariñosa y atenta, no tiene antecedentes penales y lo único que queremos es ayudarla y sacarla de allí.

If we allow Joplin City Council to strong arm us into this potentially damaging data/Bitcoin Mining Center, then our voice will have been silenced. A twelve month moratorium will give those of us opposed to this "snake oil sale" time to conduct an environmental study, identify potential at risk flora and endangered species, research past environmental impacts of these highly controversial, and largely opposed - Data/Bitcoin Mining Operations - here, and abroad. Data suggests that these centers are just another cog in the corporate greed growth wheel, that trickles down few benefits for those of us living here. One must ask - why are we allowing a potential Chinese Data Center - or any Dra Center for that matter, to locate in our backyard? Time to stand up, show up, and speak out. Don't let City Hall silence our voice!

Mail service in Raymond is not a convenience — it is essential infrastructure. Residents rely on timely delivery of prescription medications, medical supplies, Social Security documentation, tax correspondence, legal notices, and financial instruments. Delayed mail can result in missed medical treatments, late payments, penalties, interrupted benefits, and legal complications. Local businesses depend on dependable mail flow for invoicing, payments, contracts, and operations. Inconsistent delivery disrupts commerce and places small businesses at financial risk. Reliable postal service also underpins civic participation. Election materials, absentee ballots, and voter information must be delivered promptly to ensure access to democratic processes. The United States Postal Service was established to bind the nation together through a universal and reliable delivery network. Raymond, Maine deserves the same level of service afforded to every American community. Restoring consistent mail delivery is about public safety, economic stability, legal compliance, and fairness.

Key reasons for limiting cooperation include: • Undermining Public Safety: When local police act as immigration agents, it creates fear in immigrant communities, making residents less likely to report crimes, seek help, or cooperate with law enforcement. • Legal Liabilities and Constitutional Violations: ICE detainers are not judicial warrants, and holding individuals based on them can violate the 4th Amendment regarding illegal search and seizure. This exposes local jurisdictions to lawsuits. • Resource Depletion: Assisting with federal immigration tasks uses local tax dollars, personnel, and jail space, distracting from local public safety priorities. • Racial Profiling Risks: Programs like 287(g), which authorize local police to perform immigration duties, have a history of systemic racial profiling, such as incidents reported in Arizona and North Carolina. • Reduced Trust: Community trust is essential for effective policing; if immigrants fear that contacting police will result in deportation for themselves or family, they will not cooperate. (ACLU) • Local agriculture impact: In agriculture, approximately 41% of workers are undocumented, while 23% hold H-2A visas. Sign the petition today asking the Ontario County Board of Supervisors limit the use of county resources in federal immigration enforcement.

Bill Nye—Science Guy—here. I’m writing on behalf of Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) with an urgent request for you to take action to help keep science in policymaking in your state. It’s only been one year under our current administration, but they have already done more damage to science and democracy than perhaps any administration in modern history. They have shuttered entire agencies, frozen billions of dollars essential to research and public health funding, and fired or otherwise pushed out hundreds of thousands of dedicated civil servants. They’ve rolled back pollution standards, lied about climate science, and boosted fossil fuel profits at the expense of people, wildlife, and our environment. And they’ve made changes to hundreds of public health, safety, and environmental rules without public input—even when it’s required by law. Now, we need to be reaching out to our elected officials to ensure that they keep science in policymaking. You and I both know that what’s happening right now is not normal, and it is not okay.Like so many authoritarian leaderships, they want to be the sole source of truth—and know that independent science threatens that power. That’s why the work being done at UCS is more critical than ever. If we want to protect our communities, our democracy, and our planet, we must fight back against these attacks. Please join me by telling your elected state officials to keep science and transparency strong in your state. The scientific community and UCS supporters are and always have been stronger together. As UCS President and CEO Dr. Gretchen Goldman says in arecent article, co-authored in Science magazine:  ““The ability to tell the truth, even (or especially) when it does not suit any particularly partisan aims, is an essential prerequisite for a free society. Scientists can leverage their substantial social standing and trustworthiness to preserve this vital ingredient.”” It’s an all-hands-on-deck moment for protecting science and our democracy. Now is the time to join together and demand that elected leaders at all levels represent our communities and prioritize public safeguards informed by science, to ensure that our democracy remains and our voices are heard. We need your help holding these protections and holding the line against these attacks on science for the public good. The founders included Science in the Constitution. They knew its value for our quality of life and international competitiveness. Join me today in defending science and democracy. Sincerely, Bill Nye Science Educator and National Advisory Board Member for Union of Concerned Scientists

There is a large amount of minority people in our county and we don't want them to be in danger of being kidnaped, assaulted, or murdered. We want our community to be protected, that can't happen if ICE is welcomed into it.
