• Congressional Democrats: Please Speak Up!
    Democrats are too polite or way too laid back and as a result, the Republicans frankly beat us at every turn. Take a page out of the Republican playbook. They repeat, shout, demand, and win.

  • Correction
    Every year, 636,000 people walk out of prison gates, but people go to jail over 11 million times each year. Jail churn is particularly high because most people in jails have not been convicted. Some have just been arrested and will make bail in the next few hours or days, and others are too poor to make bail and must remain behind bars until their trial. Only a small number (195,000) have been convicted, generally serving misdemeanors sentences under a year. 1 in 5 people are locked up for drug offenses. The bottom 50% earned 20% of the nation's pre-tax income in 1979; this fell steadily to 14% by 2007 and 13% by 2014. ... Half of the U.S. population lives in poverty or is low-income, according to U.S. Census data. The ACA only works when everyone is insured--otherwise people wait until they are sick to buy insurance and this makes insurance unaffordable. In a Center for American Progress survey of roughly 3,000 DACA recipients, nine-tenths of respondents said they had jobs. Their average hourly wage was $17.46 an hour, up from $10.29 before receiving DACA. About 72 percent of respondents were in higher education. After getting DACA, nearly 80 percent of respondents said they got driver's licenses. About half became organ donors.

  • Hold Republicans accountable for obstruction of justice
    If we don't nip these traitorous actions by some Republican members of Congress....we will all lose grip on our great democracy. This is a real and present danger to our way of life.

  • Criminal Investigation against complicit GOP members
    Undermining the Judiciary process is eroding our democracy. Members of the GOP who are arbitrarily initiating actions to discredit the Mueller investigation are obstructing the process, which could ultimately undermine our system of justice. The American people have a right to know whether or not these actions are supported by facts that warrant opening up closed investigations, such as the Clinton investigation, or opening up an investigation that discredits the author of the Steele Dossier. If there are no supporting facts, then there should be consequences for these GOP members and they must desist from commenting on the investigation so that it might be completed as intended by our forefathers - independently.

  • Use the 25th Amendment to Replace the Mentally Unfit Trump
    ALL people on earth are now threatened by a psychologically unstable, mentally unfit U.S. President who tweets about the size and power of his "nuclear button" months after threatening to unleash "fire and fury" on the more than 25 million people of North Korea, in violation of the United Nations Charter and, therefore, under the "Supremacy Clause", of the U.S. Constitution, as well. A Yale psychiatrist recently testified for hours before Congress about Donald J. Trump's mental fitness (Yale psychiatrist briefed members of Congress on President Trump's mental fitness - CNNPolitics, and Washington's growing obsession: The 25th Amendment - POLITICO) , and Michael Wolff, author of "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House", says that "100%" of the people around Trump question his intelligence and fitness for office ('Fire and Fury' author doubles down on book's claims on Trump's mental health - AOL News). Before this dangerously unfit man uses the nuclear launch codes to start a nuclear war, he must be replaced.

  • Give Justice Kennedy a way to distinguish gerrymandering
    I write this petition so that we can build a coalition against districts of unusual shape, which often characterize gerrymandered electoral maps. Care will have to be taken to identify what constitutes an edge in the border of a district, to distinguish between borders which coincide with bodies of water, or external political boundaries, which may include sharp changes of direction, but which should be considered as part of a single edge -- as opposed to artificially legislated edges, whose complexity is engineered without regard to geographical barriers.

  • Merge Veterans and Election Day
    By merging election day and Veterans day, and establishing the first friday after the first Monday in November as national elections day, all Americans, regardless of race, age, or social standing, will have an equal opportunity to vote. Further, the national recognition of our veterans on a day when elections are on everyone's mind will compound the national respect for these heros.

  • Fire Jeff Sessions
    As the cannabis market moves forward US companies are being forced to play a game of wait and see. By continuing to keep cannabis illegal we are robbing investors and entrepreneurs of their chance to profit in an emerging market projected to be worth $18 billion by 2021. Jeff Sessions' attitude towards cannabis, as the Attorney General, is negatively influencing what could be a billion-dollar boon to the US economy and therefore does not deserve the title of Attorney General.
