On Sunday, November 24th, an innocent woman was killed in a deadly car crash -- due to STREET RACING. Despite numerous calls to the Bakersfield Police Department, emails and pleas to elected officials as well as heightened media/stories on the issue over the last few months, STREET RACING still occurs NIGHTLY in SW Bakersfield. More than 1000 cars have been known to gather at Kohls on Gosford, where it seems to begin. Where is the response from our city leaders? Why can't city leaders work collaboratively with businesses and shopping center owners to put in preventive measures? Please sign this petition to indicate silence is not acceptable and this type of street racing has to be addressed and stopped. How many innocent people will be killed? Waiting for new police cadets via Measure N funds is not an acceptable answer. Street racing like this is not acceptable!

Parents demand immediate action to remove FLAVORed e-cigarets. Our children are not guinea pigs. We can not let them be the first generation who will suffer lifelong diseases related to vaping. We are the only one who can help them today to protect them from child targeting marketing including chocolate milk flavors with the same amount of nicotine in one package as is in a pack of cigarettes. Loudoun county community is known for its clean air, strong middle-class families and health-oriented lifestyle. “Seven states in America have gone all-in on e-cigarette bans. Massachusetts outdid earlier vape bans in New York and Michigan by banning the sale of all vape products—not just flavored ones. States from Rhode Island to Montana to Oregon are enacting their own bans as more consider similar regulation.” Let’s join this movement.

HB3888 will protect IL communities from cancer-causing ethylene oxide gas that is emitted in the air our children breathe.

Mitch McConnell MUST recuse from participation in the Trump Impeachment trial. It is inappropriate for him to be in a position to influence who testifies and how the proceedings of the trial would take place. He has publicly stated that he will not be fair in his Oath of Office duties. He also has a conflict of interest where his wife is directly employed by, and, owes her job in the President’s Cabinet directly to Trump. A U.S. Senator in this situation with any integrity would recuse oneself from participating in the trial of the President, as he cannot fairly speak for the people.

This petition requests for HB3888 to get out of the Executive Committee to be voted on the Senate.

We lost a great man who gave New Mexico a great name because he was representing us around the world with his positivity and willingness to spread love and positivity so effortlessly.

Growing up in a Latino household, after the holidays we would always celebrate El Dia de Los Tres Reyes Magos, aka The Three Kings Day. It is a tradition widely celebrated throughout the Caribbean and the Americas. As the years go by, different ethnic groups have the right to celebrate their cultures and traditions. Nevertheless, it is our time for us Latinos to have our own holiday days off.

President Trump wouldn’t be in power without voter suppression and the broken Electoral College. And time after time, he’s openly abused that power for his own private and political gain. Now, he’s throwing millions of dollars around to blackmail lawmakers and save his own skin. As the House’s impeachment inquiry into the president gains momentum, Trump is resorting to dirty schemes to curry favor with GOP senators -- who’ll serve as jurors in his impeachment trial. He’s tapping his vast fundraising network and urging his wealthiest donors to give money only to those senators who oppose impeachment. Trump is once again abusing his power to send a message: senators who ignore the rule of law and blindly support him will be rewarded -- while those who take seriously their constitutional duty to remain impartial will be punished. AND... because the Supreme Court has declared open season on campaign finance, there is NO LIMIT to how much money the president’s wealthiest donors can contribute at Trump’s direction to the senators who do his bidding -- and the PACs that support them. It’s extremely corrupt -- but probably legal. The only way to stop this is if Republican senators put their country before their party and reject this blatant conflict of interest. That’s we’re calling on every senator -- who will likely soon sit in judgment of the president in the constitutional impeachment process -- to publicly pledge to reject fundraising help from Trump until that process concludes. Add your name to tell them: don’t take President Trump’s dirty money.

We must stand against Religious extremism as a paid job in Government. This is paid propaganda out of tax dollars! https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/468437-televangelist-paula-white-joins-white-house-staff?fbclid=IwAR1cztk2EoV5CklPYYbUOZTkPJ_GuiqonaNov5yp2qmO70YwLMeJqubCWXs

A defendant must not be allowed to bribe potential jurors. Potential jurors who have accepted anything, directly or indirectly, from a defendant, must not be allowed to serve on a jury for that defendant.

Trump may hold the record for the number of FERC Commissioners he's been able to appoint within three years. James Danly is his sixth nominee to the 5-member commission. One of his appointees only stayed a year and another passed away shortly after becoming FERC's chairman. With the exception of the very competent Richard Glick, who Trump appointed to one of the two Democratic seats, his appointees have continued the tradition of rubber-stamping natural gas projects and have ignored even the courts that have told them to consider climate impacts. “And last week, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit chastised FERC for its ‘decidedly less-than-dogged efforts to obtain the information it says it would need to determine that downstream greenhouse-gas emissions qualify as a reasonably foreseeable indirect effect’ of a project (Energywire, June 5).” Here we go again. James Danly's confirmation hearing has been scheduled for November 5th. “Evidence of Danly's [approach] might be found in his leading the commission last year [as FERC General Counsel] to abandon the approach it had employed toward evaluating the effects of downstream greenhouse gas emissions from natural gas projects, using authority found in the National Environmental Policy Act." (E&E News, June 10) Please sign our petition calling on the Senate to say NO to making Trump's "humble regulator" a FERC Commissioner.

Our entire representative government is being corrupted by SuperPAC, Corporate or Special Interest money at the expense of our citizens. Its time to put an end to it.
