• Release The Second Memo
    Trump and members of the Republican House and Senate have been looking for a way to shut down the Mueller Investigation. Rep. David Nunes tried to help Trump early last year when he took information that should have gone through the House Intelligence Committee directly to Trump instead. He was asked to recuse himself from the investigation, but claims it wasn't official. Nunes found a new path to help Trump by responding to his request to investigate the FBI. Nunes started his investigation a month ago, and using classified information from the FBI, he and his staff wrote a four page memo accusing the FBI of illegally obtaining information that lead to the arrest of former Trump campaign advisor, Carter Page. This would undermine the investigation and give Trump the pass he's been looking for and a reason to fire Mueller. The Democrats are angry that the memo, in their view, cherry picks facts to paint the FBI in an unfairly negative light. They say Republicans are essentially using the document to discredit the probe into the Trump campaign and ignoring information that is unhelpful to them. The Democrats wrote a rebuttal memo, but the Republicans refuse to release it. Although both memos have been placed online for the public to read, it's still not enough. We need the SECOND memo to be included in the official record. We need the Democrats to choose the path of Resistance by taking to the floor to read the memo outloud thus entering it into record. This would show the Republicans they will not sit by and let them run over the rule of law. NOW IS THE TIME TO RELEASE THE SECOND MEMO. The speech or debate clause of the Constitution (Article I, Section 6, Clause 1) provides that “for any Speech or Debate in either House, [members of Congress] shall not be questioned in any other Place.” An unbroken two-centuries-old tradition has rightfully interpreted this provision as forbidding prosecution or lawsuits against a legislator for speeches made on the floor or in committee. This gives anyone who reads classified information into record no matter the content immunity from prosecution. If the second memo releases classified or damaging information on any one in the Trump campaign, including Trump and members of his family, and it's the most guaranteed way to keep the investigation unencumbered, then so be it. Rep. Schiff, Rep. Pelosi, and Senator Schumer, we need you to be strong and bold right now. We are concerned as you are that this kind of reckless exposure could create a dangerous and harmful precedent for the future. We need to believe and trust in the FBI and DOJ to lawfully conduct investigations and do what's best for our country. Don't let ignorance and arrogance be the downfall of our checks and balances, our DEMOCRACY. TAKE TO THE FLOOR AND RELEASE THE SECOND MEMO!!

  • LGBTQ Equal Employment Act
    While I have not personally been affected by this issue, many of my closest friends are part of the LGBTQ community. I believe they deserve equal rights under the law, and should not be discriminated against simply because of their sexual orientation. Arizona should catch up to the 21st century and pass common-sense human right legislation so nobody in the LGBTQ community can be discriminated against for one identifying factor.

  • Change Pennsylvania statewide elections to even years
    Many if not most Pennsylvania state elections are held on odd numbered years. How many voters realize they need to go to the polls on odd numbered years? The state would save considerable amounts of money, resources, and election worker hours if such elections were held only on even numbered years.

  • Tell Senator Scarnati to do his"Day Job!"
    Senator Scarnati has refused to follow the laws he has sworn to uphold. He is too busy peddling his name in grocery stores, state funded gift shops, and his candy stores to do his "day job." Let's tell him our voters need proper representation and a senator who will uphold the law! http://www.philly.com/philly/news/gerrymander-pa-scarnati-map-us-supreme-court-20180131.html?amphtml=y http://m.thecourierexpress.com/jeffersonian_democrat/news/one-sweet-year/article_62f77775-330b-59f7-9a3b-c6ad998b29de.html

  • Make Federal Elections a National Holiday
    We feel that it is important to increase voter participation. Those who work long hours or have jobs that do not allow them time off do not have the opportunity to vote. Voting is a fundamental right in our democratic society. Democrats have proposed House Resolution 1 on the floor of Congress. This resolution will expand transparency and accessibility in elections. This resolution also suggests making Election Day a national holiday for all Americans in order to increase voter turnout across the country, as folks would be able to take time off from work to fulfill their civic duty. Mitch McConnell has stated that this is a desperate attempt by Democrats to power grab, but the only reason McConnell is saying this is because he is scared of what it will mean for Republicans if more Americans are able to vote. The agenda of the Republican party has been to disenfranchise as many Americans as possible in the voting process, and we have to fight back against these attacks on our democracy. Let's pass HR 1 and make federal elections a national holiday.

  • Devin Nunes must be removed from Russia probe
    The House Intelligence Committee just voted along party lines to release the so-called “Nunes memo” -- a document drafted at the direction of the committee’s chairman, Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA). Many who have seen the memo say it gets basic facts wrong, cherrypicks information and has absolutely zero credibility. This memo is just the latest in a long string of attempts by Republicans in Congress to undermine and smear Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Donald Trump and Russian election meddling. It’s especially telling that during last night’s partisan vote, Committee Republicans blocked release of the Democratic members’ memo which rebuts Nunes' claims. We cannot afford to let this become a partisan fight -- our democracy was attacked and Americans deserve the full truth. We can't allow Devin Nunes to continue spreading unfounded innuendo about the Russia probe to undermine its credibility as Mueller investigates the President for obstruction of justice. Please speak out and pressure Speaker Paul Ryan to remove Nunes from participating in the Russia investigation.

  • DON'T Appoint Collin Dias To the Fall River Wattupa Water Board
    This petition is being started to protect the taxpayers of Fall River from having to pay for poor decisions made due to political differences. Colin Dias has shown, numerous times, that he is unable to make informed decisions. Dias has shown, through articles written for Southcoast Media, that he has a bias against many of the elected officials in our city. I believe that this would create a conflict that could negatively affect Fall River taxpayers. Dias would likely make decisions to prevent duly elected officials from executing the job the citizens elected them to do. Additionally, Dias' petition to get appointed to the Fall River Wattupa Water Board appears to be an attempt to force Mayor Correia to appoint him or face accusations of not having appointed Dias due to his relationship with Former Mayor Flanagan.
