• Senator Toomey: hold open and accessible weekend town halls
    Senator Toomey's offices around Pennsylvania and in DC have been sending calls directly to voicemail, or are just busy. He is supposed to work for his constituents, yet we are unable to share our concerns. Senator Toomey should hold multiple open and accessible town halls in the coming weeks and months for all his constituents so that he can hear directly from Pennsylvanians who are personally affected by how he votes in the Senate.

  • Stop Trump's Nominees & Hold Senate Accountable
    To Mr. Trump & Congress: From everything we have witnessed in the last few weeks and months, Donald Trump only responds kindly to LOYALTY and PROMISES and people who say YES to him. To that end, we the undersigned, would like to say a few words. We are LOYAL. We are LOYAL to the values that we hold close and we do not sell out to empty PROMISES and lies. We PROMISE to fight for those values. YES, we believe that climate change is real. YES, we believe that Scott Pruitt would be a detriment to the environment. We PROMISE to fight against his nomination. If he is confirmed, we will still be LOYAL to our beliefs and, YES, we will continue to fight him every step of the way. YES, we believe that the current education system could use help. YES, we believe that Betsy DeVos is the absolutely worst choice to accomplish that. We PROMISE to fight against her nomination and, if confirmed, we will continue to keep our PROMISES to our children to fight for their future. That is what LOYALTY is about. YES, we believe in healthcare for all. YES, we believe that Tom Price is more concerned with doctors and corporations and profits than he is about patient care. We PROMISE to continue to be patient advocates and to fight for affordable healthcare for all. YES, we believe in equal rights for everybody. YES, we believe that Jeff Sessions’ LOYALTY to you and his racist beliefs are a problem. We PROMISE to LOYALLY hold onto our core values and we PROMISE to ensure that persons of all races, colors, creed, religions, gender, nationality and sexual orientation are treated fairly and equally under the law. And YES that even means for people that we don’t agree with. Because, once again, we are LOYAL and we keep our PROMISES. YES, we believe that a woman’s right to choose is her right and should not be taken away. Staying LOYAL to the Supreme Court ruling that gave us that is a PROMISE we intend to keep. We PROMISE to fight to keep conservative, religious values out of judicial opinions. We PROMISE not to inflict our beliefs on this matter onto others. YES, we PROMISE that if a person does not want to have an abortion, they do not have to have one. But YES, we PROMISE that those who do will be able to do so safely. We PROMISE to fight against the appointment of Neil Gorsuch. Finally, we are putting all Congressmen on notice, regardless of party affiliation, that we are the most LOYAL, passionate and persistent constituents you have ever faced. YES, right here and right now, is our PROMISE to you: Do not fight against Trump’s hateful, divisive, hurtful policies, executive orders and nominees and we PROMISE those of you up for re-election in 2018 will lose. Because we are LOYAL to our cause and our beliefs, we will continue to fight til the end of this presidency and we PROMISE to fight those who continue to go along with him. YES, we will show you what LOYALTY and PROMISES look like. Thank you for your time. Now, please, give us our country back. Sincerely, Aimee (New York)

  • FIGHT TRUMP'S ROLLBACK OF DODD FRANK
    Donald Trump ran on a platform promising to help the average working man and woman. Now he's rolling back protections specifically designed to protect these men and women. While his appointments are getting huge coverage, as they should, this will affect all of us, both Red and Blue. We need to get the word out on this.

  • Pennsylvanians Against DeVos
    During Betsy DeVos' confirmation hearing, her answers missed the mark to ensure the safety and equitability of students around the country. Here is what that hearing revealed to us: ~DeVos refused to agree that schools are no place for guns, citing one school that needs a gun to protect against grizzly bears. ~DeVos seems to lack a basic understanding of the Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA), which requires public schools to provide free and appropriate education to students with disabilities. ~She refused to agree that all schools that receive federal funds should be held to the same standards of accountability. This includes traditional public, public charter, and private schools that receive voucher money. Her political donations in Michigan prevented charter schools from being held to the same accountability standards as public schools. She has fought against accountability for charter schools which begs the question, what are these schools hiding? ~DeVos said that she would review gainful employment regulations without agreeing to enforce them. These regulations are in place to protect students and taxpayers by withholding federal student aid to career training programs that leave students buried in debt. ~She could not give her opinion on one of the most basic issues related to education when asked how she preferred to measure student progress- by proficiency or student growth. Her agenda to use taxpayer money to funnel money towards Christian Schools is unconstitutional. In 2001 Betsy DeVos and her husband were interviewed at "The Gathering," an annual summit for wealthy Christians. They were questioned about their work promoting the use of government funds on private and religious schools. She stated: "Our desire is to be in the Shephelah, and confront the culture in which we all live today in ways that will continue to help advance God's Kingdom, but not stay in our own faith territory. "It goes back to what I mentioned, the concept of really being active in the Shephelah of our culture - to impact our culture in ways that are not the traditional funding-the-Christian-organization route, but that really may have greater Kingdom gain in the long run by changing the way we approach things - in this case, the system of education in the country." You can listen to the entire interview here: http://www.politico.com/story/2016/12/betsy-devos-education-trump-religion-232150 Her family has donated millions of dollars to political campaigns to buy policy outcomes and they have done a lot of damage to students and the public school systems in Michigan. According to the Nation’s Report Card, Michigan ranks near the bottom of fourth and eighth-grade math and fourth grade reading on a nationally ranked representative test. However, the charter schools in Michigan scored worse than the traditional public schools according to federal data. She is highly unqualified for the position of Secretary of Education. Our children deserve better than Betsy DeVos.

  • Demand the Senate to reject Bannon on the NSC
    Mr. Bannon is an avowed white supremacist who is clearly exercising undue influence over the POTUS. He is not qualified to serve on the NSC, especially when the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs has been summarily removed. This action requires the consent of the Senate to be legal. I am concerned that the Constitution is being subverted and our freedoms lost because of ignorance of the law.

  • Demand Stephen Bannon immediately resign.
    Stephen Bannon is a White Nationalist and has led satellite radio and an extreme bizarre right-wing magazine (Breitbart) by racism, anti-Semitism, and xenophobia. There is no room in our country's leadership for this type of person. He must immediately resign.

  • If Congress repeals ACA, Congress Loses THEIR Healthcare
    Everyone needs healthcare insurance. We all pay for the uninsured. Without protection from the ACA, millions will lose their benefits. As a person with disabilities and a former nurse, I've seen first hand how everyone benefits from access to preventive and comprehensive healthcare.

  • Tell your Senators: Repeal Trump's Muslim Ban!
    President Trump's executive order on immigration that suspends the US refugee program and resettlement of Syrian refugees and bans immigration from seven Muslim-majority nations is un-American and possibly unconstitutional. This order is creating massive chaos around the world, hurting the world's most vulnerable populations, and keeping families from being reunited. Leading Senate Democrats Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and Chris Murphy (D-CT) have both introduced legislation to immediately repeal and defund this order. But Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is refusing to let it come to the floor for a vote – even though a growing contingent of Republican Senators are calling Trump's Muslim ban a threat to our national security and makes Americans around the globe less safe. Congress needs to hear from you to take action to overturn Trump's Muslim ban executive order.
