Alt-right “conservatives” and white supremacists do NOT belong in the White House. He’s a racist, xenophobic, misogynist, and a anti-Semitic nationalist. Remove him from the Security Council is not enough - remove him completely!

As a black female, I no longer want to stand by and say nothing; it is up to us at the grassroots level to speak up and condemn Senator Cotton's unfortunate and outrageous name-calling of another woman, especially a black woman who has served our country proudly, as has Ambassador Susan Rice. Last week, Congresswoman Maxine Waters was disparaged by Bill O'Reilly; this week, Ambassador Susan Rice was vilified by Tom Cotton. Instead of bragging about this, Senator Cotton should refrain from this behavior in the future and apologize to Ambassador Rice. Now.

There has been a 2803% increase in the number of opioid related bookings in Palm Beach County alone since 2011. The numbers are probably even more significant in Broward and Miami Dade & Pinellas Counties.

We seem to be losing our democracy and since the Supreme Court is the last resort to defend our rights, confirming a nominee should require buy in from both parties to keep the court not becoming even more partisan. This time the Republicans are in control but that will not always be true.

Save the Supreme Court from radical conservatism.

We are calling on Senator Dean Heller to oppose changing the Senate's rules to rush through a lifetime appointment, especially while the Trump administration is under criminal investigation. On Friday, the full Senate will likely vote on Trump's right-wing Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch and fortunately, at least 41 Democrats are planning to stand strong and filibuster to stop his confirmation. But now that Democrats have effectively blocked the 60 vote threshold for Gorsuch's nomination, Republicans are threatening to change the rules by invoking the "nuclear option" to rush through Gorsuch's confirmation. Only ONE Republican needs to oppose the "nuclear option" to shut down this reckless power grab. Let's send a strong message to Senator Heller we are watching he needs to oppose Nuclear Option to protect Nevada and our country. Gorsuch stands with corporations not individual rights.

The Supreme Court Justice should require a minimum of 60 votes in the Senate. Stop the Republicans from going nuclear. Trump should not be allowed to choose a Justice while under investigation. We do not want a Justice that sides with the Corporations while hurting the common people. They need to stop changing the rules. They are there to protect us.

From WhyLegalizeMarijuana.com So, Why Legalize Marijuana? Marijuana is an enjoyable and relatively harmless drug. Marijuana is less harmful than tobacco and alcohol, both of which are legal. The criminalization of marijuana represents an unjustified intrusion of big government into our private lives while the legalization represents respect for freedom of choice and personal privacy. Punishing non-violent marijuana users, growers, or sellers serves no legitimate purpose and is inhumane and destructive. Legalization of marijuana would increase respect for police, district attorneys, judges, and the courts. Legalization would save taxpayers billions of dollars by eliminating needless police, court, and prison costs associated with the prosecution (and persecution) of marijuana users and producers. Legalization would also produce billions of dollars [nationally] in new tax revenues while reinvigorating the economy by creating legal jobs producing and selling legal marijuana. Criminalization does not prevent children or adults from obtaining marijuana. Marijuana is medically beneficial.

It is important to maintain the norms of democracy if we want our republic to survive. Democracy only works if all sides agree to serve both the needs of the majority and the minority. Judge Gorsuch is an extreme candidate deserving of filibuster on the Democratic side. Republicans should change the nominee, not the rules.

I worry about the damage that playing politics with this empty seat for the last year has done to the Supreme Court. The judicial branch of our government draws its power from its impartially. We need justices that are moderate enough to gain wide bipartisan support. To restore faith in the court, the President and Senate need to find a way to compromise.

Many residents of NJ07 district are trying to discuss their local and national concerns with congressman Lance. Lance constituents have been leaving many voice messages and writing many emails but it would be much more fruitful to have a public event to understand how the congressman is representing the NJ 7th district in Washington. We ask Rep. Lance to please schedule a town hall during the Congressional recess between April 10th and April 21st 2017.

For decades, a Supreme Court nominee had to get 60 votes in the US Senate to be confirmed. This ensured that the nominee appealed to a consensus of Senators from both parties. On Friday, the Republican Senate majority will vote on changing the rules so only a simple majority can confirm Trump's nominee, further politicizing the Court. We need to petition our Senators not to take this unprecedented step.
