After the Russian interference in the 2016 election and the millions of ads served to voters purchased by Russian accounts, our political ad disclosure laws need updating. The bipartisan HONEST Ads Act will modernize disclosure laws for online political ads and help bolster the integrity of our elections. All Americans, regardless of their political party, have a right to know who is trying to influence our votes and opinions. As political ad spending continues to shift to online platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Google, our laws should keep pace. Whether it be a big money Super PAC or a Russian oligarch, the American people should know who is paying for those ads. Modernizing our election laws around online political ads our transparency and election laws is commonsense and needed, especially after the Russian interference in the 2016 election. Every member of Congress should support this bipartisan and important bill.

Trump has a long and disgraceful history of disrespecting veterans and military families, but his callous treatment of Myeshia Johnson - whose husband was killed in Niger earlier this month - proves once and for all that he is unfit to be Commander in Chief. When Trump called Ms. Johnson, not only did he tell the grieving widow that her husband, Sgt. La David T. Johnson "knew what he signed up for," he even struggled to remember the fallen soldier's name! As an Afghanistan veteran, I want to know when Congress will finally stand up for our military community. Trump must be held accountable for his attacks on troops, veterans and their families. Tell Congress to censure Trump now.

Our country is facing a grave risk from the opioid crisis. The Drug Czar cannot be another political crony or a payback for a favor. The job demands a person of intelligence, a well-informed person whose only agenda is to rid our country of this scourge.

Voting is the most fundamentally significant right under our Constitution because the right to vote in a free and unimpaired manner is the preservative of other basic civil and political rights. Offering no-excuse absentee voting will expand access to the ballot box for all Pennsylvanians and make it easier for Pennsylvanians to participate in our democracy. “[T]he right to vote is too precious, too fundamental to be burdened or conditioned.” Harper v. Virginia State Bd. of Elections, 383 U.S. 663, 670 (1966).

I am unable to sleep at night for fear of the world's destruction at the hands of the president of the United States.

In order to prevent this President from pardoning himself or his family members.

Trump poses an existential danger. The appropriate Constitutional method to remove this danger is impeachment. Congress must act.

President Trump is too erratic to have decision-making control of the use of nuclear weapons.

Our democracy relies on a free, fair, and adversarial press to hold power accountable. It’s one of the reasons we have a First Amendment. But President Trump continues to escalate his attacks on journalists -- recently threatening to take away NBC’s broadcast license for reporting what he claims is “Fake News.” To be perfectly clear, Trump has absolutely no right or ability to make good on this threat. The law doesn’t let the President revoke broadcast licenses.. If Trump tried to, it would be blatant and unacceptable intervention in the decisions of the Federal Communications Commission, an independent agency. But we can’t allow this President to continue to bully and attack journalists for doing their jobs -- just because they’re reporting news he doesn’t like. It’s not just NBC stations that will find this threat chilling, but also smaller independent stations around the country who might lack the resources to fight back. This isn’t the first time President Trump has attacked journalists he believed were treating him unfairly. During the campaign, Trump pledged to “open up” libel laws to make it easier to sue news organizations -- and earlier this year he branded them an “enemy of the American People.” This sort of attack on the free press undermines our democracy. We are not an authoritarian state -- Americans expect the media to hold Donald Trump and anyone else with political power accountable. That’s why it’s so important to take this pledge today to oppose Donald Trump’s attacks on the free press and stand in solidarity with journalists that hold Trump accountable. Please add your name today.

I believe that medical marijuana should be accessible to people suffering with illness and disease, and it's evident to see that in states that medical marijuana is legal, there are only positive effects that have come to the surface. Less people will be struggling and everyone deserves the treatment of medical marijuana if it benefits their conditions. Lets all come together and show that we are capable of making a change, and stand up for those who need it the most!

There is sufficient indication from President Trump’s actions and speech that he no longer has the mental ability to Perform his Constitutional Duties. The President appears unable to maintain attention to the subject of which he is speaking when not reading a prepared statement. He seems to not remember the details of conversations just a few hours later, and his recollection of those conversations seem to be totally incongruent with others who were a part of those same conversations. Literally thousands of Mental Health Professionals have stated publicly that our President seems to be exhibiting sign of either mental illness or dementia. Additionally, the Political Positions the President is taking now are so opposite to his previously stated positions as to indicate he is no longer able to think logically.

Ranked choice voting (RCV) allows voters to rank candidates on the ballot, not just pick one -- making their voices truly heard. RCV discourages attack ads, eliminates the "spoiler effect," and ensures that election winners have the support of a majority of voters. RCV allows us to vote our hopes, not our fears. In 2016, Maine voters decisively passed the Maine Ranked Choice Voting Initiative (Question 5). Since then, the Legislature has been debating whether they want to respect the will of the voters, and even considered repealing RCV. Now, they're debating it again. Democracy is built on the simple idea that elections should reflect the will of the people. Now, some officials seem to think that voters can’t be trusted. Sign the petition to tell the Maine legislature to respect the will of the voters!
