The word democracy does not appear in The Constitution nor does it appear in The Declaration of independence. America is NOT nor was it ever intended to be a Democracy. We cannot spread Democracy by war all over the world if we are not a Democracy! All too often in our political system we fight with left and right, it's time we all stand in unity as a Republic, the way our forefathers intended...one nation under God

Yes, it is about preserving in the wild these magnificent animals who are in fact returned natives here in North America and contribute positively to the ecosystems they inhabit when not subject to the unjust and dishonest "squeeze plays" of corrupt officials & disrespectful officials. They are also very important preventers of catastrophic wildfires. This is about obeying the law and the will of the general public concerning this crucially important Quality of Life issue here in America.

In Washington, DC, our nation's capital, we have no voting member of Congress, and our local taxes and laws are subject to the control of Congress. This violates every principle of democracy and it is un-American.

Because hidden deals and backroom politics have to stop. Every year, Congress passes massive omnibus bills that are hundreds of pages long and stuffed with unrelated provisions. Lawmakers often vote on these bills without even reading them fully. Special interests get their pet projects slipped in, while important issues get buried. This is not how a transparent democracy should work. The One Bill, One Subject Transparency Act (H.R. 95) is a simple but powerful fix: One bill = One subject. Nothing more. Why You Should Join This Campaign • It restores accountability — Your representatives will have to take clear, public positions on every issue. • It reduces corruption — No more hiding pork, earmarks, or controversial riders inside must-pass bills. • It increases trust — When Americans can actually understand what Congress is voting on, faith in government improves. • It’s common sense — Nearly every single state in America already has this rule. Congress should not be exempt. • It’s non-partisan — Whether you’re conservative, liberal, or independent, everyone benefits from a more transparent Congress. This is not a left vs. right issue — it’s a people vs. the broken system issue. When enough of us stand together and demand basic transparency, Congress has to listen. Every signature brings us one step closer to real change. Join the movement. Add your name today. 

HB211 in Louisiana would criminalize homelessness, imposing penalties and mandated “homelessness courts” instead of providing access to housing or supportive services. Such measures do not address the root causes of homelessness and further destabilize vulnerable individuals. We must prioritize housing-first solutions and comprehensive support rather than punitive policies.

Rodney Dutch has served over 28 years in prison for a robbery—yet he was recently denied parole and given four more years, despite doing everything required to rehabilitate himself. This campaign is about more than one man—it’s about fairness, accountability, and a justice system that honors rehabilitation. Under the New Jersey Parole Act of 1979, individuals are supposed to be granted parole unless there is clear evidence they pose a risk. When that standard is not applied fairly, it affects everyone. By joining this campaign, you are: *Standing up against excessive sentencing *Supporting second chances and true rehabilitation giving a voice to families impacted by long-term incarceration *Helping hold the New Jersey State Parole Board accountable to the law. Your signature is more than support—it’s a statement that justice should be fair, consistent, and humane. Together, we can push for the second chance Rodney has earned.

We are told that as a 21st-century superpower, we are the most "developed" nation in history—ethically, legally, and mentally. Yet, our leadership's current actions suggest a total collapse of that very development. This is important because: Silence is Complicity: As citizens of Haymarket and the United States, our tax dollars and our "strategic interests" are being used to justify the slaughter of innocents and the leveling of entire cities. The Loss of our Moral Compass: We have traded our role as a "model for the world" for a seat at the table of hypocrisy. When we operate on assumptions rather than humanity, we don't bring peace; we bring disaster and chaos. The Reputation of our Nation: Our leadership has turned a great country into a target of global scorn. We are no longer respected; we are viewed as a bully that has lost its soul. We are better than this. Our leaders in Congress must stop using "strategy" as a mask for inhumanity. We demand an immediate end to the support of activities that destroy infrastructure and take innocent lives. It is time to restore the dignity of the American people by choosing human life over political leverage.

It’s with (probably unwarranted) love and dedication that we, the fans, demand more of the owners of the teams we love and support. We’re there through wins and losses, a lot of losses,  and need them to stand with the community in our current moment.  Team owners signed on to a notoriously tepid letter from Minnesota-based companies, which was little more than word salad. The letter cites “recent challenges facing our state” and calls for an “immediate de-escalation of tensions.”  “Recent challenges” hardly describe the brutality and trauma of President Donald Trump’s mass deportation campaign.  Team owners should follow the lead of athletes and coaches who've had the courage to speak out:  Former Timberwolves player Karl-Anthony Towns tweeted, “These events have cost lives and shaken families — and we must call for accountability, transparency, and protections for all people.”  Vikings legend John Randle posted on Instagram, “Many fans have been scared of backlash, losing friends or followers, but I am saying clearly: I am NOT okay with people being taken from their homes and families being ripped apart. I am NOT okay with people being denied due process. I am NOT okay with reckless violence condoned by the Trump Administration. I am NOT okay with people being murdered in their own communities. I love Minnesota and stand with my entire community. #iceout” Now it’s time for the Minnesota Twins and every Minnesota pro team to find the courage to speak up for their communities when we’re under attack. 

Douglas County residents are united in a deep sense of care for the wellbeing of our families and community.  Our petition is rooted in that shared commitment. 

Palau is not a large country with vast land, infrastructure, or unlimited resources. We already face challenges related to housing, healthcare, education, and employment for our own people. Introducing a population from a completely different cultural background—one with histories, customs, and experiences unfamiliar to us—raises serious concerns about our capacity to integrate them safely and responsibly.    Historically, Palau has welcomed people from within the Pacific who share Pasifika values, traditions, and ways of life. The people of Echang are a clear example of this—welcomed, integrated, and now a valued part of our community. This was possible because of shared cultural understanding and regional ties. The current proposal does not reflect the same circumstances.    We do not know the full backgrounds of these refugees, including prior involvement in criminal activity, trafficking, or drug-related issues. As a small island nation, we are uniquely vulnerable. What may be manageable for larger countries could have irreversible consequences for Palau.    We need only look to other Pacific nations, such as Fiji, where unchecked migration and foreign influence have led to social strain and loss of local control. Palau must learn from these examples and not repeat them.    Our ancestors fought tirelessly for Palauan independence and self-determination. Today, many of us fear that decisions like this move us backward—placing foreign interests and short-term financial gain above the long-term safety, culture, and future of our people. 

Democracy Dies Behind Closed Doors: In a representative democracy, legislation is supposed to be debated, amended, and voted on in the light of day. Currently, HB 488 is being stalled by Senate President Bill Ferguson to prevent it from ever reaching the Senate floor. This tactic allows a single individual to decide the fate of a bill before the public, or other elected Senators, have a chance to weigh in. This is not how a legislature is designed to function. The Senate President is Not a King: The role of the Senate President is to facilitate the legislative process, not to unilaterally act as the sole gatekeeper of Maryland law. By refusing to bring HB 488 to a vote, leadership is effectively silencing the constituents of every other Senator in the chamber. Representation Matters: Voters elected 47 Senators to represent them in Annapolis. When a bill is killed quietly in the Rules Committee, those Senators are denied the opportunity to do their jobs: to debate the issue and cast a vote on behalf of their districts. We cannot accept a system where procedural maneuvers are used to avoid accountability.
