For truth and transparency in our government.

Haverhill residents voted overwhelmingly for legalization in 2016. The mayor and the city council should show leadership by enacting downtown zoning for the same fairness provided to liquor stores, bars, and restaurants.

Progressive Democrats have expressed a clear preference for Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard to be the Speaker of the House. Whereas National exit polls show that over half of Americans who voted Tuesday hold an unfavorable view of Pelosi, newly elected House members said they would vote against Pelosi in favor of a progressive Democrat. WE THE PEOPLE believe that Rep Tulsi Gabbard by virtue of her strong leadership is the clear choice for our new FDR progressive Democratic Party

Jim Acosta is a CNN White House reporter. We believe his press pass was revoked not only for the incident last night, but because President Trump who referred to how the 'press' treats 'Sarah Huckabee' during his rallies and press conferences. Sarah Huckabee Sanders has attacked Mr. Acosta during afternoon press conferences upon multiple occasions. Ms. Sanders issued a lengthy lie-filled account on her Twitter feed last night and also released a doctored video from a right-wing conspiracy program. What this White House seems to ignore is written clearly in the First Amendment of the constitution. Jim Acosta is representing the American people by asking questions on our behalf.....questions this White House refuses to answer. The White House needs to remember they work for the American people. Please sign and share this petition demanding the White House restore Jim Acosta's right to do his job.

Trump is scared and desperate after Republicans lost the House. Trump knows his corruption will finally be exposed so he forced Attorney General Jeff Sessions to resign. He then put Matthew Whittaker in charge of the Department of Justice in what seems like a clear effort to undermine the Mueller investigation. This is a moment of crisis for our nation and we need to be assured that Whitaker does not interfere as Trump clearly wants him to. That's why we're demanding Matthew Whitaker immediately recuse himself from any involvement in the Mueller investigation.

Donald Trump fired his Attorney General, and will likely attempt to replace him with someone who'll put loyalty to the White House over the duties of their office. And that could mean a premature end to Mueller’s investigation, with the full results never shared with the American people. The American people must demand that anyone who replaces Sessions atop the Department of Justice pledge their complete independence from Trump -- and promise to carry out the responsibilities of their office fairly and impartially.

Bernie has been the leading figure of the Revolution, the Resistance, and our moral voice for decades. Now that the mid-terms are over, we don't have time to play the "will he or won't he" game. We need him out there, leading the pack, as he always has.

Someone trying to assassinate the political opponents Trump has demonized is the last straw. Just voting against his supporters is not enough. We need a stronger movement of resistance and rejection.

I believe that if We The People, demand that every candidate running for office will agree to these principles, and work to implement them, once elected, we can take back our government from the Oligarchs who currently control it.

I have loved ones who are survivors of domestic violence and they never saw justice for their abuse. I want them to feel free to vote without fear of being hunted down and killed.

Our current representatives and senators are caught up in the moral crisis pervading Washington DC, and have forgotten their basic South Dakota values. Please vote for those people who have moral character and say no to big money lobbies. Vote for Sutton and the democratic team. Let's bring back values and morality to our state--and our country.

I was deeply offended and disappointed when I read that Joe Biden plans to honor former President George W. Bush with the National Constitution Center’s Liberty Medal for his “commitment to veterans." As a veteran of the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq, I’m joined by thousands of fellow post-9/11 veterans as part of About Face: Veterans Against the War who are disgusted to see Biden award this man for his newfound philanthropic interest in Veterans which is only necessary because he used us to unleash death and destruction that continues today. How could anyone agree to honor a man who used his wealth and privilege to avoid service in Vietnam but, as president of the United States, helped send the nation to war based on misinformation that was later proven to be false? Wars that forever changed the lives of millions of Iraqi and Afghan civilians. How could anyone honor a man who sent more than 2.7 million of my fellow service members into a war with “insufficient protection and aging equipment,” forcing many of us to resort to hiding behind rusty scrap metal that many of us called “hillbilly armor”? How could anyone honor a man who, on his way out of office, cut funding for healthcare veterans desperately needed, leading even his ally, American Legion National Commander Paul Morin, to “blame President [George W. Bush] and Congress for insufficient funding of the VA health care system”? George W. Bush sent many veterans like me into combat zones based on false information with poor planning, lack of preparation, and then cut his support for vital programs, effectively abandoning us when we returned home. He put us at the front line of military invasions that turned many of us into occupiers of countries we knew nothing about, and in some case torturers, and then left many of us homeless or disabled when we returned home. His carelessness with our lives is one of the causes leading more than 20 veterans a day to commit suicide. We know these wars continue to this very day in more than 7 countries, and Muslim communities here in the United States face harassment thanks to the policies the Bush Administration created. While former President Bush may have made headlines recently for public comments in support of U.S. veterans, and even gone so far as to paint bizarre guilt-laden portraits of us, I instead point to the words of the late Iraq war veteran Tomas Young, who in his final letter to Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney said: “You may evade justice but in our eyes, you are each guilty of egregious war crimes, of plunder and, finally, of murder, including the murder of thousands of young Americans—my fellow veterans—whose future you stole.” Signed, Ramon Mejía USMC on behalf of, About Face: Veterans Against the War (formerly Iraq Veterans Against the War)
