Even some computer programmers/analysts working at Federal Government sites must pass a Security Clearance. Why shouldn't a Presidential candidate, whose hope it is to lead our country, and who will have access to highly sensitive information have to pass this clearance as well? This process would ensure the veracity of candidates and that they are not compromised by a foreign government, corporation, etc.

An internet that's equally available to all is vital for democracy and consumer choice. The FCC just killed Net Neutrality, but California can get it back by passing SB 822 & SB 460 and creating the strongest Net Neutrality laws in the nation. SB 822 & SB 460 work together to stop ISP practices that are currently legal yet constrict consumer free choice and make it harder for everyone's voice to be heard, including nonprofits and grassroots activists. No more fast lanes and slow lanes, access fees just to reach users, self-dealing "zero-rating", and blocking content they don't like. No more playing favorites with some websites and hurting others. SB 822 & SB 460 face their final votes this week. Please sign and share this petition to Assm Blanca Rubio asking her to vote “Yes” without watering them down with amendments!

Predatory lenders disproportionately target service members, but according to recent news reports, Trump’s Director at the Consumer Bureau is planning on no longer supervising them. The Military Lending Act works to ensure that servicemembers and their families are not a target for abusive financial practices. Trump and his choice for the CFPB, Mick Mulvaney, no longer want to monitor if payday and other lenders are complying with this important law. With this action, the administration is siding with predatory lenders over servicemembers, and threatening harm to them, their families, and the readiness of the armed services. Sign our petition to tell Trump to protect our troops from payday predators. Don’t throw our servicemembers to the loan sharks.

We are coming together to show that we oppose the appointment of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. We believe him to be unfit in every way for this position. His record shows a consistent pattern of siding with big money and corporations over the interests of the American worker. He has expressed dissent against the Affordable Care Act. He has a history of blocking access to abortions. He lied during the confirmation hearings for his current position on the federal appeals court about his involvement with the terrorism policy following 9/11. And he has consistently sided with arguments that favor broad executive authority during his 12 years on the bench in Washington. His most shocking stance is that a sitting president should not be subjected to criminal investigation. Many are in support of Kavanaugh’s appointment simply because they believe he will help overturn Roe v. Wade. The desire to have it overturned is due to their belief in the sanctity of life. But we believe in sanctity of life too! We believe in the sanctity of women’s lives, that they should have access to local, safe, and comprehensive reproductive healthcare and have the right to make decisions about their own bodies. We believe in the sanctity of Black lives, that they should not live in fear of police brutality and being killed by those who are sworn to serve and protect. We believe in the sanctity of Flint lives and the lives in our own East Chicago, Indiana, that they should have access to safe drinking water in their cities. We believe in the sanctity of Puerto Rican lives, that they should be given the aid due to American citizens to restore electricity and help rebuild their lives. We believe in the sanctity of Indigenous lives, that they should be remembered, respected, and represented on this land of theirs. We believe in the sanctity of immigrant lives, regardless of whether they are documented or not, that they should be welcomed and given a chance to build a safer and more prosperous life alongside all of us. We believe in the sanctity of Muslim lives, that they should not be discriminated against or harmed due to their religion, and we say NO to the Muslim ban. We believe in the sanctity of Jewish lives, that they should not still face anti-Semitism in the twenty-first century. We believe in the sanctity of children’s lives, that they should be able to go to school without the threat of guns disrupting their learning and their very lives. We believe in the sanctity of LGBTQIA+ lives, that our Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex and Asexual siblings should not face violence or discrimination because they are true to themselves, and they should be allowed to live in peace — and if they desire it, in matrimony — with whomever they love. We believe in the sanctity of the life of this earth, that it should be taken care of and used with respect and not exploited for gain. We believe in the sanctity of military lives, both actively serving and veterans, that they should be afforded the best healthcare and every amenity we can provide in gratitude for their service and sacrifice. We believe in the sanctity of the lives of the average American, that they should be able to work at an honest job and make a living wage with margin to provide for their futures, and that they should have access to affordable healthcare regardless of pre-existing conditions. We believe in the sanctity of life, every life. And we demand a government and a court that reflect and uphold these same values. This is why we say NO to Kavanaugh. This is why we tell our senators, Joe Donnelly and Todd Young, to stop Kavanaugh by voting against his appointment to SCOTUS. This is why we unite – for justice, for all.

Everyone has been affected by this, even people who voted for #45, some of whom are still in denial. I’m starting this petition because our country, our environment, our children’s futures, our democracy, our freedom from the tyranny of ambitious dictators, and the the delicate balance of world peace hang in the balance. Please sign my petition and help support the bipartisan cause of removing a dangerously unhinged man from office.

To submit a comment to almost any elected official these days, the first thing you are required to submit is a title. You’re included in the pre-set list if you’re a Mr., Mrs., or even a Dr., Honorary, Professor, or Dean. But if you’re a non-gender-conforming individual – and chances are that if you’re not one yourself, someone you care about is – the message is clear: you don’t belong. And it is the hundreds of seemingly small exclusionary instances like this that make life so difficult for non-gender conforming people in the United States and around the world. As it stands, organizations such as the Sierra Club, who strongly believe in building a more inclusive country, are still required to cause potential harm to their supporters by requiring titles whenever comments need to be submitted directly to an elected official. We hope to help all senators and House members to realize their obligation to make their constituents feel heard by offering the gender-neutral “Mx.” option on their web forms by the time the next Congress gets underway in January 2019. While momentum to offer gender-inclusive title options on web forms has made progress in recent months, it remains stalled at the moment, and we hope you’ll join us in getting this one over the finish line!
