Put an Independent on the ballot against Billy Long in NovemberIt would be a humbling honor to represent the 7th District in the House of Representatives for Missouri. For too long we have not had good representation in DC and I would like the opportunity to be a real Representative for Southwest Missouri. We need to get rid of those who don't listen and don't seem to care about what matters most to us! Help me make this possible in November! The only way for me to even get on the ballot is by getting 5,000+ signatures from registered voters in 417-land. Candidates affiliated with the major parties merely file and pay $100! Before the campaign even begins, I'll have to prove that I'm the most determined, dedicated candidate in the race! Help me show the major parties that Southwest Missouri wants representation for the people, not the parties this November!70 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Stephanie Davis

We want our votes for Bernie Sanders counted.Bernie Sanders has more individual financial contributors and has regularly packed stadiums beyond capacity. Oddly voting numbers are substantially lower than poles predicted. These low predicted numbers are a red flag for election tampering. With all the organized ways that voters have been disenfranchised, we are attempting to simply compile a list of declared votes for Bernie Sanders to use as a comparison to the actual numbers of votes officially counted. Please indicate your county, state, registered as Independent =IND or D, M=Mailed513 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Margaret Lowry

Don't let David Bickford weaken the "Right to Know" lawHR 285 would add this language to existing law and allow secret meetings for; "Consideration of legal advice provided by legal counsel, either in writing or orally, to one or more members of the public body, even where legal counsel is not present." This amendment is poorly written, it will greatly weaken the law, and will lead to abuse of the public's rights and many more violations of the Right to Know law across the state.165 of 200 SignaturesCreated by George Gale

Save the University of Illinois!I am an alumnus of the University of Illinois. I support Bernie Sanders' call for tuition-free public college. When I was a freshman at the University of Illinois in the Fall of 1982, a semester's tuition was $598. Compared to today, that's virtually free. What Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner and the Illinois legislature are doing is going in the exact opposite direction. By failing to pass a budget that assures state support for public higher education, they are threatening the future of the University of Illinois. [1] Urge Bruce Rauner and the state legislature to pass a budget that funds public higher education without further delay by signing our petition.

Mr. Wood's action was illegally going against resolutions passed on behalf of 90% of the Citizens Against the Toll Lanes Project, and the Town Comissioners.

These citizens are requesting for Mayor John Woods to submit a written letter Of resignation, effective immediately, or a recall will be submitted to the NCGA on behalf of these constituents30 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Cynthia Underwood

.@SenatorBaldwin: Explain Your Vote for Pentagon BloatOn Thursday, June 9, the Senate rejected an amendment by John McCain to increase the Pentagon budget by $18 billion. [1] The vote was 56-42 in favor; 60 votes were needed to pass. McCain's amendment tried to violate a bipartisan budget accord that increases in Pentagon spending must be matched by increases in domestic spending. 31 Democrats and 11 Republicans voted no on McCain's amendment; 44 Republicans and 12 Democrats and voted yes on McCain's amendment. [2] McCain's amendment was opposed by groups who disagree with diverting our tax dollars from human needs to the bloated Pentagon budget. [3] Wisconsin Democrat Tammy Baldwin, who is widely seen as a "progressive Democrat," was one of the 12 Democrats who supported McCain's amendment to pad the Pentagon budget by $18 billion. Urge Tammy Baldwin to defend and explain her vote for McCain's amendment by signing our petition.

Tuition-Free Public College vs. McCain $18B #NDAA Pentagon BloatIt's bad enough that more than half of our federal tax dollars go to the feed the bloated Pentagon and its fat cat contractors, while we're told there's not enough money for public education. But now Senator John McCain wants to pad the Pentagon budget with $18 billion more in an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act [NDAA]. [1] How much money is $18 billion? Bernie Sanders' plan for tuition-free public college would cost $70 billion a year. So-called "conservatives" howled: you'll bust the budget! We don't have the money! But McCain's bid to pad the Pentagon budget by $18 billion is barely being noticed by the national media. You flush $18 billion down the toilet four times, you just threw away the money for tuition-free public college. Urge Senators to oppose the McCain amendment to waste $18 billion more of our tax dollars on the Pentagon and demand a recorded vote by signing our petition.

US Dept of Justice and FBI please Investigate potential Trump bribes or other crimes in FL and TXIt looks like TRUMP got the AG's in two states to allow him to not pay back students who felt they had their money taken from them under false circumstances. I would hope that this type of potential white-collar crime would never happen to anyone in my family. TEXAS POTENTIAL TRUMP BRIBE PER CBS NEWS: "Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton moved to muzzle a former state regulator who says he was ordered in 2010 to drop a fraud investigation into Trump University for political reasons. Paxton's office issued a cease and desist letter to former Deputy Chief of Consumer Protection John Owens after he made public copies of a 14-page internal summary of the state's case against Donald Trump for scamming millions from students of his now-defunct real estate seminar. The former state regulator told The Associated Press on Friday that decision was highly unusual and left the bilked students on their own to attempt to recover their tuition money from the celebrity businessman." http://www.cbsnews.com/news/former-texas-official-says-he-was-told-to-drop-trump-university-probe/ FLORIDA POTENTIAL TRUMP BRIBE PER AP "WASHINGTON — Florida’s attorney general personally solicited a political contribution from Donald Trump around the same time her office deliberated joining an investigation of alleged fraud at Trump University and its affiliates The new disclosure from Attorney General Pam Bondi’s spokesman to the Associated Press on Monday provides additional details around the unusual circumstances of Trump’s $25,000 donation to Bondi. After the money came in, Bondi’s office nixed suing Trump. The money came from a Trump family foundation in apparent violation of rules surrounding political activities by charities. A political group backing Bondi’s re-election, called And Justice for All, reported receiving the check Sept. 17, 2013 — four days after Bondi publicly announced she was considering joining a New York state probe of Trump University’s activities." http://www.toledoblade.com/Politics/2016/06/06/Florida-AG-asked-Trump-for-donation-before-nixing-fraud-case-Pam-Bondi-solicited-political-contribution-received-25-000.html1,439 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Mike White

Florida Commission on Ethics: Investigate Attorney General Pam Bondi's Unethical BehaviorFlorida's Republican Attorney General, Pam Bondi, personally solicited a political contributions from Donald Trump while deliberately ignoring complaints of fraud at Trump University from Florida Residents. A report from the Orlando Sentinel details how Pam Bondi received $25,000 campaign contribution from Donald Trump three days before her office decided against investigating fraudulent practices at Trump University. Even worse, Trump's contribution to Pam Bondi came from a Trump family foundation - a clear violation or the rules regarding political activity by charities. It was extremely inappropriate and unethical for Pam Bondi to accept contributions from Donald Trump instead of investigating him. Pam Bondi serves the people of Florida, but she decided to advance her political career over defending her constituents from the predatory practices of Trump University. If we want to protect the public trust and ensure that Florida residents are protected from fraudulent schemes like Trump University, then we need to hold corrupt politicians like Pam Bondi accountable for their unethical behavior. We demand that the Florida Commission on Ethics launches an investigation on Pam Bondi's unethical behavior.4,480 of 5,000 SignaturesCreated by Juan Escalante
