Citizens addressed the Waukesha Co Ex Committee in February asking them to craft a resolution supporting fair non-partisan re-districting in Wisconsin just as 37 other counties (out of 72) have already done. Paul Decker, the Chairperson of the Board has refused to place this item on the agenda. We are asking for the Waukesha Co Bd to weigh in on this state-wide issue.

New York's voter rolls are out-of-date. 37 other states have Early Voting. Nearly all states have more accurate and complete voter rolls. It's time for New York to lead rather than follow on elections!

The residents of Dumas are finding a hardship to pay for gas and water in this city

I think it is in the best interest of trying to get our state on better economic footing and trying to achieve true democracy where people rather than establishment political parties rule.

The intelligence community is waiting for President Trump's permission before they begin the process to protect and defend our election system. This is unconscionable. We the people demand that this protection process begin immediately without waiting for President Trump's permission.

There are two Democratic County Mayor candidates: State Senate Minority Leader Lee Harris and Shelby County Sheriff employee Sidney Chism. Unless our candidates publicly debate issues that move our county forward, Republicans will dominate the conversation. That means we’ll be talking about cutting education funding, arming our teachers, and who knows what other right-wing, fringe policy positions get handed down from the Trump White House. Shelby County cannot address our most pervasive challenges without bringing Democratic policy positions to the forefront. We need to hear where our two candidates stand before the May 1st Democratic Primary. Join us in demanding a televised Democratic Shelby County Mayoral debate.

Decriminalizing and legalizing the consumption and cultivation of Marijuana by pointing out that The F.D.A. has already removed cannabis from its classed scheduling system, hence defying the systems definition of "Toxic" " Harmful" and "Physically addictive". These terms are used to describe dangerous drugs, mostly Narcotics, that qualify them for classification under the "Controlled Substances Act". By declaration of disassociation, this petition is to remove the classification of marijuana from the Class 1 scheduled list of "Narcotics" FM, and redefined as a "Clinical Therapeutic Commodity", regulated, taxed, and punished similarly to Alcohol or Tobacco.

We must stand up to Kleptocracy in America.

A question on citizenship has been proposed for the 2020 census. This is a terrible idea as it discourages non-citizens (legal or not) from participating in the census. And the census affects resources for your state/county/city etc. and re-districting decisions. Everyone should be counted. If enough of us pledge to refuse to answer this question, regardless of citizenship status, then it will show this question to be the worthless & racist question it is. The online form might require the question to be answered, so we may all have to wait for the paper version. That increased cost alone may influence the decision makers. Feel free to send this far and wide! Each of us who pledges makes a difference. Ideally, if enough of us pledge BEFORE the census forms go out, the citizenship question will be scrapped.

We demand that the Florida Legislature Stand with Women and Families and: - Reject the $100 million additional in tax breaks for millionaires proposed in the House and Senate and instead invest in programs that support women, children, and families. - Stop financing Crisis Pregnancy Centers that lie to women about abortion services - Increase access to health care - Make housing more affordable - Don’t put more guns in our schools - Stop targeting immigrants and tearing apart families - Protect the wetlands that protect us - Stop attacks on unions and working families - Stop the attacks on our public school system

Seven Vermont legislators have signed a letter urging Burlington voters to vote “Yes” on ballot question #6 regarding the F35s. Sign the petition to stand with them, thank them, and ask your representatives to sign on in support of Yes on #6. See the letter below: We stand together in favor of Burlington’s ballot question #6 to oppose the basing of the F-35s at the Vermont Air National Guard. The issues are as follows: 1. Noise/Housing: The F-35 is over four times louder than the current F-16, which will put over 6,600 people’s home in a high decibel noise zone that the Federal Government classifies as unsuitable for residential use.1 2. Crash rate: The planes are still new and as such have an eight times higher crash rate than the F-16s. Typically the Air Force chooses a remote base for the new military aircraft. With 1,400 homes in the crash zone, we cannot take this risk. The current runway aims directly at the largest shopping area in Vermont with two dozen big box stores one mile away in Williston. This is not an abstract issue. In 1965, a military jet crashed in Williston. Fortunately, the area was an open field at the time so the casualties were limited to the two people on board.2 3. Jobs/Air Guard base closure: The Air Force has repeatedly stated that there were any number of other military aircraft for the VT Air Guard to fly if the F-35 did not come here. They would simply get another flying mission, as they have in the past. They could fly another fighter aircraft, or a military transport, or drones, or perform cybersecurity missions. And the jobs could increase. For example, the C-130 is a possibility and it needs three to five crew members per flight as opposed to one sole pilot for the F-35.3 4. Timeline: We know that it is not too late to take a stand and change the trajectory of this decision. Basing decisions have been reversed because of public outcry, congressional action, or legal action in Florida, Virginia, North Carolina, and Alaska.4 We urge you to vote yes on ballot question #6 to oppose the local basing of the F-35s. Thank you for joining this growing movement for a safer, quieter, mission. Read the whole letter here: http://www.pjcvt.org/seven-state-legislators-call-cancel-f-35-basing/
