@Bolivia_ONU, @RussiaUN: Demand @UN Security Council Save Yemeni Children From Starvation"Hundreds of thousands of Yemeni children languishing in refugee camps and remote villages are nearing starvation," the Washington Post reports. Airstrikes near the port of Hodeida - main entry point for food, medicine and humanitarian aid into northern Yemen - have slowed the delivery of supplies. Half a million children are severely acutely malnourished. The UN says Yemen is “on the brink of famine.” U.S.-backed Saudi airstrikes have destroyed roads and bridges across Hodeida province. Unexploded rockets have landed inside the port, further reducing imports and the number of ships willing to come to Yemen. The Saudis are enforcing a blockade that is restricting food imports, and have told humanitarian agencies to redirect shipments to Aden. That would mean vital food and medicine would need to be trucked from Aden through war zones to reach the millions at risk of starvation in the north. [1] To save hundreds of thousands of Yemeni children from starvation, someone must stop the U.S.-backed Saudi attacks on Hodeida. Sadly, so far Washington has turned a deaf ear to the cries of Yemeni children. But any member of the UN Security Council can demand a meeting to discuss action to save Yemeni children from starvation. Of the fifteen current members of the Security Council, [2] Bolivia and Russia are the most independent of the U.S.-Saudi alliance that is pushing Yemen into famine. A vigorous Security Council debate would put pressure on the U.S. to stop supporting the Saudi assault on Hodeida. Urge Bolivia and Russia to demand action by the UN Security Council to save hundreds of thousands of Yemeni children from starvation by signing our petition.

Transparent schedules for members of CongressIn the past year, I have tried to engage with all three of my US Congressmen and have in all three cases been told blatant lies by their staff - that by signing up for their newsletter, I will get an e-mail notification of any public events they hold. This never, never happens. The only event postings I have seen are created by constituents to organize groups to attend town halls, and after-the-fact pictures on their FB feeds. They and their staff are colluding to make it needlessly difficult for the public to engage with them, and this needs to stop. It is undemocratic, un-American, and serves neither the interests of their supporters or their opponents.137 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Luke Hill

Democrats: Boycott Trump’s First Address to CongressI am frightened at the prospect that more Americans will suffer under a deliberate effort of the Trump administration to denigrate immigrants, perpetuate greater economic inequities, severe our ties to our allies and the global economy. I fear the platform that Mr. Trump has given to White Supremacists and others who fail to respect and appreciate our differences.17 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Renee Weiss

Do Your Job, Jason ChaffetzThe Yemen raid was approved by Trump without adequate planning or investigation, and according to military sources was a complete disaster as a result. The Miami Herald reported today of the anguish caused the father of Ryan Owens as a result of his death, and his request for an investigation. http://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics-government/article135064074.html It would be hypocrisy of the first order for Rep. Chaffetz not to investigate how this happened with the same zeal that he investigated Clinton after learning she planned to run for president.205 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Tom Jerman

Congress: Investigate Trumps Mental Fitness to be President.I believe that Donald Trump is not mentally fit to be President. I think Congress should force Trump to be examined by a Psychologist or Psychiatrist to determine if he is mentally fit. His actions since he has become President have led me to believe that Trump is mentally unstable. He is paranoiac, he thinks that everyone is against him, that every bad news story is fake. He is overly narcissistic, he believes that he is Gods gift to this country even though polls show otherwise. We need our representatives in Congress to investigate the possibility that Trump is mentally ill. Thank you for signing this petition.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Daniel Mackay

@ChampaignCoDems: Vote to Save Our County Nursing HomeOn April 4, Champaign County voters will vote in referenda to decide whether to save our Champaign County Nursing Home. On March 22, Champaign County Democrats will vote on whether to endorse the referenda campaign to save our county nursing home. When the Vermillion County nursing home was privatized, the new management dramatically cut the staff, contradicting promises they had made to county officials. [1] Three years later, the nursing home was being cited by the state for life-threatening abuses. [2] Over the years, the Champaign County Nursing Home has tended to thousands of residents. [3] But now, the Champaign County Chamber of Commerce wants to privatize our nursing home. [4] We know where this would lead: more cuts in services for people who need them. Urge Members of the Champaign County Democratic Central Committee to vote on March 22 to endorse the referenda campaign to save our nursing home by signing our petition.

Meet with your constituentsMr. Walberg (Michigan Congressional District 7) avoided all public events during the recent recess, and constituents were forced to hold "empty chair" events. We have a lot to say that Mr. Walberg should hear. Calls and emails are answered with unrelated form letters, and he needs to hear our concerns in person to be forced to directly address them.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kathryn Foyle

We must REMOVE Steve Bannon from the White House!!!Steve Bannon, a self-avowed Leninist (“I’m a Leninist. Lenin wanted to destroy the state, and that’s my goal too. I want to bring everything crashing down, and destroy all of today’s establishment.” ) has been given the highest power of an elected official within our Government under the President as Chief Strategist. His attacks on the press, calling them "The Opposition Party", is part of an obvious attempt to divide the people of the U.S. His speech at CPAC has outlined their Nationalist agenda. Anyone who is trying to dismantle our democracy is an ENEMY OF THE STATE!! We must remove Steve Bannon from any position of power!49 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Robert Stone

DNC Chair Perez: Commit to Jon OssoffThe Democratic Party is at a crossroads. For too long, it's allowed races like this to slide by, losing crucial contests that have allowed the GOP to entrench its power. We must see that the Democratic Party will be the party to stop the Trump agenda. That starts with backing Mr. Ossoff.144 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Robert B McMonigal
