Washington State has used mail-in paper ballots for years. No problems with electronic hacking. Why not share it with the rest of the country?

Coats and Rogers have an obligation to taxpayers and the public to answer the Senate Intelligence Committee questions that call for non-classified, non-privileged answers, period, regardless of whether the answers involve conversations with the President.

The congressional majority and president have made their priorities very clear, seizing tax money and turning it over to corporations, financiers, war profiteers and the very rich. These are not our priorities. The single act of slashing the budget for war will make our priorities clear and free our tax money to support what we really value, the well-being of human life and the life of the planet. I am 77 years old, suffering from a progressive neurological disorder that limits my activity. I cannot guide this petition in the usual ways, but only offer it, hoping that one or more of you would be willing to shepherd it on.

In these trying and sometimes uncertain times it is more and more crucial to treat one another with kindness and respect. We want to to live in a world that reflects these values. In that spirit, We are asking that you proclaim October 1st, 2017 Peace and Joy Day in The United States of America. We are honored to say Mayor Sylvester Turner has already proclaimed Peace and Joy Day for the 8th consecutive year In Houston, Texas. Peace and Joy Day is intended to be a non-denominational, non- political celebration to promote conscious compassion, awareness and peace and joy FOR ALL. We hope this vision of peace can be realized someday and with your help we believe it can. Thank you.

Because we voted for medical marijuana to be legalized, and the state government has taken apart what we voted for and created something completely different out of it. It will unavailable and unaffordable for most people who need it. Also, Florida as a state will benefit economically by full legalization. It will provide jobs, create a money flow that can aid schools and other necessary programs, and will cut down on illegal and unsafe drug activity in our state.

All entities in the State of Illinois who are supposed to receive state funds are being neglected because the state has had no budget for 2+ years! This includes schools, higher education, the sick, the poor, retirees, any disadvantaged. The legislators have tried but the governor just makes demands without negotiating.

President Trump's decision to abandon the Paris Climate Accord has abandoned the people of the United States.

You and/or your company have publicly supported the Paris climate agreement. Trump has now withdrawn. Tesla/SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has already resigned in protest, and you should follow his lead. As a business leader and public figure, you can step down from Trump's Business Advisory Council and send a message to your customers, the US, and the world that despite Trump's shameful actions, the United States still understands that climate science is real and that action is urgently necessary.

Michigan Lt. Gov. Brian Calley is pushing for a part-time legislature, something he has particular experience with - he didn’t show up for work for a third of session days during 2013 and 2014 while he was leaving the state to attend Harvard on the taxpayers’ time. He needs to do the right thing for once and return one-third of the paycheck he took from the public while he was skipping work.

The Trump Administration’s proposal to cut the Women’s Bureau’s budget by 70%, eliminating all regional offices, would essentially render the agency unable to fulfill its mission of empowering women to achieve economic security. For nearly 100 years, the Women’s Bureau has served as the only agency in the federal government charged with advocating for the interest of working women and for the economic security of women and their families. It has worked on high priority issues for working women such as paid leave, earned sick time, as well as highlighting the needs of women veterans. It has been at the forefront of addressing equal pay, ensuring breastfeeding and pregnancy accommodation, as well as working with women in the trades. Issues that the Bureau once raised as “women’s issues” have become the standard for all workers today. Sign on now to save the Women’s Bureau from the Trump Administration’s budget cuts!

Dear Sen. Felder, Your constituents in New York's 17th Senate district are requesting an on-the-record meeting with you as soon as possible before the end of the current legislative session so that we can discuss key issues before the New York Senate. Major unresolved issues before the body include: - The New York Health Act (S4840) - Legislation requiring New York to release the state tax returns of federal officials, including Donald Trump (S5572A) - The New York State Liberty Act (S4075A) - The Reproductive Health Act (S2796) - And other important topics affecting New Yorkers everywhere. We have been unable to learn where Sen. Felder stands on many of these matters. It is critical to publicly establish his position on these and other bills - and if he doesn't have a position on them, we want to discuss what information and analysis he is waiting to hear before making a decision. We are happy to discuss the logistics of our request with you (for example, whether Sen. Felder would be able to host one meeting, whether he would prefer several shorter meetings, and whether he would conduct the meetings in person or by phone). By an "on-the-record" meeting, we mean that the conversation can be recorded, so that it can be made publicly available and shared with Sen. Felder's other constituents. Thank you for your consideration, and we eagerly await your reply.

President Trump’s transgressions extend beyond incompetence; they are rooted in motivations that are transparently contrary to the values expressed in our nation’s Constitution. Collusion by House Republicans makes a mockery of the system of checks and balances our Founding Fathers envisioned and installed to protect our democracy. Every day Donald Trump remains in office stands as a repudiation of our system of governance and proud heritage of rule of law. Mike Coffman, Paul Ryan, and other Trump allies continue to back Trump at every turn. Even after his district sent a clear message by voting for Hillary Clinton with a 9 margin over Trump, Coffman has supported trump over 93% of the time. When those we’ve elected betray our trust and their oath of office, it falls to citizens to step into the breach. We don’t have time to wait for a Democratic Congress to hold Trump accountable. Unless and until he is removed from office, Trump will continue to do immense damage to our country. Coffman has proven countless times that he will change his positions to protect his own skin, such as when he vocally supported Republican’s move to take healthcare away from millions of Americans to pay for another tax cut for the 1%, only to vote against it when Paul Ryan said he could. In general, such naked self-interest is not to be applauded. But if Coffman’s true north is survival and if his constituents can convince him that his political survival depends on standing up to Trump before 2018, we certainly should. Anything that keeps more people from being harmed by Trump’s reckless policies is a victory for Americans. Since Coffman has proven he’s willing to do the right thing so long as he’s not expected to show actual leadership, I’ve worked with a team of legal experts to make it easy for him. We’ve assembled articles of impeachment and easy to follow step-by-step instructions that will allow Coffman and other Republicans to perform their constitutional duty and remove Donald Trump from office. We’ve done the hard work, all Coffman and other Republicans need to do is uphold their oath to America’s Constitution. Instructions: 1) Download the Articles of Impeachment at leviforcolorado.com [this can be done by an intern or staffer] 2) Print out the PDF [this can also be done by an intern or staffer. If you do not have a printer, Levi will hand deliver them to you at your district office or arrange to have them printed at a convenient union print shop for you to pick up] 3) Publicly call for Paul Ryan to bring these articles to the House floor for a vote [you need to do this one yourself] A simple majority vote by the House will initiate a trial. President Trump is operating outside the boundaries of ethics and law. His conspiracy-addled civic nihilism is at odds with the sober bedrock of idealism and progress, upon which our country was founded. Any clear-eyed citizen committed to seeing the world as it is rather than through the warped lens of partisan ideology must admit: Trump’s actions and associations during the campaign have breached innumerable ethical norms, traditional standards, and laws; the barriers erected by our forbearers to preserve civility, decency and the democratic order in our republic. Fortunately, Trump does not represent the collective will of the American people. Three million more people voted for Hillary Clinton than Donald Trump in the 2016 election. No doubt, Trump would lose election today in a crushing defeat. But that is cold comfort. Instead, he must be removed from office. Fealty to the law and to public decency demands his removal. By providing the necessary documents, we’re making it easy. The crimes are clear. The public is disgusted. The articles of impeachment are written. The only missing ingredient is leadership.
