21 new ballots have suddenly appeared in the Maine Senate District 25 election. All of them are for the Republican candidate and have flipped the election in her favor. Only 171 voters were recorded casting ballots on Long Island, but with the mysterious appearance of these 21 votes, there are now 192 ballots from the town. So far, Republicans have shut down attempts to investigate this potential fraud. A committee of the Maine Senate, the Maine Secretary of State and various law enforcement agencies could all have a role in investigating this issue. They need to hear from us that the integrity of our elections must be upheld.

To avoid another situation like Ferguson where there is only conflicting eyewitness testimony and no video evidence.

In light of the most recent injustice dealt at the hands of the Ferguson Police Department and the ongoing legacy of abuse by police departments all over the country, it's time that the Federal Government be compelled to act on our behalf by making it mandatory that every police department be accredited by an exacting group of standards that include, but not limited to mandatory body cameras for each and every officer, mandatory diversity training in order to learn how to interact with people of color, mandatory mental evaluations in order to weed out potential threats to citizen safety, annual testing to insure that federal standards are being met, automatic dismissal for officers that break the law with no intervention from police unions accountability to civilian review boards with authority to influence policy on behalf of the community. Finally, if a department fails to meet these standards in total, that department goes on a probationary period with federal oversight at the local level. Should that department fail after the probationary period, it will be disbanded.

This petition has been started in support of the Brown family who is requesting that we push this agenda to help with the injustice happening.

Reasonable Americans realized within a short time after the Benghazi attacks that Congressman Darrell Issa--and the GOP--only intended to cynically use the horrible event as a political tool to discredit and undermine the President and the State Department. Those same Republicans are continually voting against, and have successfully denied, taxpayer-funded money for much needed social services in our communities. WE, the taxpayers and bosses of the U.S. Congress, are sick of paying for these absurd conspiracies when millions of children are starving and many thousands of our veterans are sleeping homeless on sidewalks. WE demand that a full accounting be made of the costs associated with the Benghazi investigations and that Darrell Issa, a multimillionaire worth over 500 million dollars, immediately return the money to the U.S. treasury. Background: On November 21, 2014 the Republican-led House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) released the findings of a nearly two year investigative report into the attacks on two U.S. facilities in Benghazi. This report, like many before it, debunked myths about the attacks, concluding that there was no intelligence failure prior to the attacks, no stand down order was issued during attacks, and the administration's initial talking points about the attacks were based on the Central Intelligence Agency's assessment at the time, as the administration has long maintained. The Committee also found that there was no intelligence failure prior to the attacks. The GOP, with Congressman Darrell Issa as the main ring-leader, has relentlessly pursued an investigation into the 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya. These hearings have been cheered on by right-wing media, and according to a Pentagon commander have reportedly cost taxpayers multiple millions of dollars and wasted thousands of hours in government funded personnel time.

We are all affected by this. It is designed to eliminate the Electoral College.

Because Speaker John Boehner won't do his job and work with the President or the American people, he needs to step down as speaker. If he won't step down, he should be impeached!

California is one of the largest economies in the world, yet our public education system had been radically defunded over the last two decades. We are at the point where the UC system, once the jewel of California's public education system, is reliant on out-of-state tuition. California ranks 47th out of 50 in national per pupil funding of K-12 students. Prop. 13 has severely decreased funding for public education. Corporate entities use artificially low tax rates to increase their profits. That was not the intention of Prop. 13. The costs of goods and services rise over time. Corporate landlords should pay market rate property taxes so they can contribute their fair share to public education. We all rely on public education to produce the next generation of entrepreneurs, doctors, nurses and engineers. Let's educate the next generation. Reform Prop. 13.

Elder financial abuse/exploitation is becoming the crime of the 21st century as the growing senior population is increasingly targeted. Elder financial abuse/exploitation by use of "undue influence" must be criminalized in the District of Columbia. DC Councilmember Marion Barry introduced Bill 20-107, "Charles and Hilda Mason Elder Abuse Clarification and Expansion Act of 2013." The Bill was referred to the Judiciary Committee chaired by DC Councilmember Tommy Wells in February 2013. Councilmember Wells is letting Bill 20-107 die in the Judiciary Committee instead of marking it up to criminalize elder financial exploitation by use of "undue influence," as 14 other states do, and reporting the Bill mark-up out of the Judiciary Committee to the Committee of the Whole for an up or down vote before the CY '2014 legislative year ends on 12/23/14. "It was once said that the moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; and those who are in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy and the handicapped." Hubert H. Humphrey

My freedom is in jeopardy because of my government that is meant to protect and preserve my rights. I demand a bright future for my kids and their kids and so on, and the NSA is one step closer to tyranny. I am concerned for the future of our nation.

He said he will not help n******s. You should not have a person of his character working for your county.
