Hundreds of constituents have sought to meet with Lee Zeldin with no success, I am one of them.

Senator Paul has not listened to the pleas of his constituents. We want to demand him to hold a town hall so he can explain to us in person why he is ignoring the will of Kentuckians.

The proposed bill will undermine academic research working on social and racial justice topics. Not only would the creation of new Federal geospatial databases on racial disparities be prohibited, so too would access to existing geospatial information of this sort and the use of Federal funds from agencies such as the National Science Foundation to study such data. As written, this represents a direct attack on the ability of geographers and others to produce actionable and policy-relevant research on racial disparities in this country.

It is time for the Kentuckians to have a voice within the Senate. Both Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul need to be doing things that actually align with the views of Kentucky. Senator Paul should have a town hall meeting with his constituents so he can vote and produce bills that actually align with our views.

With so many important issues facing our country and our community, it's critically important that our representative in Congress understand our concerns. Congress will be in recess from February 18th to February 26th, but so far, Rep. Faso hasn't scheduled a public town hall meeting. Join us to demand that Rep. Faso hold an open and accessible town hall meeting so that he can understand voters' positions on important issues and represent us in Congress.

Despite numerous attempts by many of his constituents to reach out to him and request for the town hall to be rescheduled we have received no promise that he will hold one and in fact we have only received replies of fabricated events of harassment and violence as reasons he will not have a town hall.

Let's hold our politicians accountable to the people, and help Americans have a voice in the decisions that affect them.

Elliott Abrams, a neoconservative who championed the Iraq war in the Bush White House, is reportedly emerging as Trump's choice to be Deputy Secretary of State. While serving at the State Department under Reagan, Abrams covered up gross human rights abuses by the governments of Guatemala and El Salvador. In 1991, Abrams was convicted of lying to Congress about the Iran-Contra affair. [1] Republican Senator Rand Paul, a longtime critic of the neocons, has said he opposes Abrams' nomination. [2] Christopher Preble of the less-war, less-Empire Cato Institute calls the idea of nominating Elliott Abrams to the State Department "baffling." [3] As Senator Elizabeth Warren wrote during the Democratic presidential primary, "personnel is policy." [4] Urge President Trump and your Senators to oppose the nomination of neocon Elliott Abrams to the State Department by signing and sharing our petition.

On 2/9/17, counselor to the President, Kellyanne Conway appeared on Fox & Friends (a news program) to encourage viewers to purchase Ivanka Trump's products. This is a clear violation of ethics and is against the law. She cannot be allowed to misuse or abuse her position as representative of the POTUS for private gain, for the endorsement of any product, service or enterprise, or for the private gain of friends, relatives, or persons with whom the employee is affiliated in a nongovernmental capacity. Please join us in demanding that she be relieved of her duties as acting counselor to the president.

This petition is about ethical violations. There are pending lawsuits against the President for ethical violations, but we need to be sure that everyone on his team acts within the ethical standards put in place to prevent corruption. If Conway is allowed a free pass on this clear violation, it leaves the door open for many more such ethical violations to come.

This issue has not been properly addressed and we, as American Citizens should not rest until it is.

Trump has promised to release his taxes, pending an audit. That promise has been renewed recently, but also disavowed. I don't need to see his taxes, but the Senate certainly does. They should review his taxes so they can be assured that there are no problems.
