Donald Trump launched his presidential campaign by calling Mexican immigrants "murderers" and "rapist," and has since deployed similar attacks on target women, Muslims, and most recently veterans and their families. Last week, Donald Trump dismissed the sacrifices of Khizr and Ghazala Khan, the parents of fallen U.S. Army Capt. Humayun Khan, and has proceeded to insult them repeatedly on national television. Another target of Donald Trump’s insults earlier this year was Gonzalo P. Curiel, a U.S. Citizen born in Indiana who serves as a federal judge in California, who Trump accused of being unfit to preside over the Trump University litigation due to Curiel’s “Mexican heritage.” Instead of denouncing Trump's abuse and disrespect towards the family of a fallen soldier, a federal judge, and other minority groups across America, Richard Burr continues to support and defend Donald Trump's racist policies and offensive attacks on our fellow citizens. Even worse, Richard Burr still supports the Trump campaign even after Donald Trump called on “second amendment people” to do something about Hillary Clinton - a disturbing suggestion that should not be made by any presidential candidate. If Richard Burr wants to represent all North Carolinians adequately in the U.S. Senate, then he must disavow Donald Trump’s racism and revoke his endorsement immediately. It is unacceptable for Richard Burr to continue supporting Donald Trump while seeking to represent the state of North Carolina, and its diverse population, in the U.S. Senate. We demand that Richard Burr puts people before politics and revokes his support for Donald Trump!

Nuclear weapons pose a grave threat to people and the environment, and must never be used. By building more accurate, "usable" weapons, the Pentagon's plan actually increases the risk of nuclear war. Also, NY State's share of the proposed nuclear buildup would be a whopping $90 billion over 30 years. We can put this money to much better use by investing in clean energy, housing, education, health care and mass transit.

The Democrats have turned their backs on Progressives and moved to the right. The Green Party is now the one best positioned to continue supporting our views.

Lauren Steiner proudly voted for Jill Stein in 2012 but supported Bernie Sanders for the Democratic Primary because, like Bernie, she thought he had a better chance to be President running in the Democratic Party. However, it was always her intention to endorse Jill Stein, if Bernie did not make it, and work for her campaign, if she was so fortunate to be hired. Lauren put her blood, sweat and tears into Bernie's campaign for 58 weeks building LA for Bernie into the largest Bernie organization in Los Angeles with 40 neighborhood, college and constituency groups and 1800 volunteers in the database. She worked straight through the Democratic Convention where she organized the Monday night protest against the TPP seen around the world. As an activist and an organizer, Lauren would be able to reach out not only to Bernie supporters, college students and Millennials in California but also to groups organized around issues. In addition to being a good organizer, Lauren is an excellent communicator who can write articles and press releases, produce videos and memes and speak to organizations and the media as a surrogate for Jill. Please consider hiring Lauren for this position, You won't be sorry.

I just came back to live in Puerto Rico after 36 years in the continental USA. The powerlessness of Puerto Rico is oppressive. While Walmart, Walgreen's, Sam's Club, Burger King and American companies make millions of dollars from a captive audience (almost tax free), we have no money to pay for special education services and to invest in our basic education and health services. Now our government has been declared by the US dysfunctional and with the approval of PROMESA , an oversight board named by the President who will rule over own elected government, our colonial status is more evident than ever.

I was not allowed to represent myself in a lower court criminal case and when I tried to appeal the decision my case was taken over by an international syndicate of attorneys. Since I was unable to protect myself from denial of my 4th Amendment right to feel secure in my person and possessions and since I was denied my 14th Amendment right to own property the NSA should be responsible for their attack on those 2 Amendments by stealing the paid for property of Americans, the integrity of their phones. The Court must order an end to the 2 party system and the Electoral College and order NSA to prepare a voter data base and also put all parties candidates on the ballot because Dr. Jill Stein made the ballot in Washington and under the Constitution that means that all the voters get her on their ballots.

Donald Trump just asked Vladimir Putin, Russia's dangerous dictator, to commit espionage on Secretary Hillary Clinton and publicize state secrets that could threaten the security of the United States. Trump’s unprecedented request is not only dangerous, it may also violate federal law. What’s even more horrifying is that, as the Republican Nominee for President, Trump is scheduled to start receiving classified national security briefings as early as tomorrow. Donald Trump is a very real, dangerous, and serious threat to our national security. And he should not be let within 10 feet of any classified security information. We must join together and raise a massive outcry NOW before it’s too late!

Donald Trump just called on "Second Amendment people" to act if Hillary Clinton appoints a Supreme Court Judge. This veiled threat is not just unpresidential—it's dangerous. As the Republican nominee for president, Donald Trump will soon be given access to highly sensitive intelligence briefings about national security. Because Donald Trump has never held a position of public service—such as being a state representative, governor, or public official—he has never been vetted for a security clearance. Giving someone like Trump access to this sensitive information is unprecedented and dangerous. Even national security officials have expressed concern about Trump's misunderstandings of the military and foreign policy. In April, CIA Chief John Brennan condemned Trump's position on waterboarding and torture, and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Joseph Dunford condemned water boarding, calling it "unAmerican." And just last week, more than 50 Republican security officials just warned that Donald Trump would put America's security "at risk." Trump has proven himself unstable and untrustworthy already—using incorrect and exaggerated information to stoke fear among his supporters throughout his campaign. Pulitzer Prize-winning PolitiFact reports that only 4% of his statements can be verified as "true." We must continue to stand up to Donald Trump. Tell Director of National Intelligence James Clapper to block Trump's access to national security intelligence now.
