• Don’t Silence Voters: Let Everyone Vote from Home
    We need to be able to make voting easier and more secure, especially during this public health crisis. The long lines that have plagued recent elections, as well as the touch screens and crowded polling places, are now dangerous. We cannot let the pandemic shrink voter turnout. In addition, voting by mail provides a paper trail at a time when election security is increasingly at risk. While several states have already expanded their vote-by-mail options, we would like to see every state — and the federal government — pass vote-by-mail legislation so that all citizens, no matter where they live, can safely vote in November of this year.

  • Keep OUR President on air
    There are many people signing a petition to silence our president. In the beginning of this outbreak our President tried closing our borders. These same people called him racist. The democrats are trying to push their agendas on us. They are holding americans hostage with their pork filled urgent stimulus bills. They are black mailing the president (ultimately all Americans). They want to record everything and edit and twist what they want too. They cry that he isn't doing anything. What ever he says or does it is wrong. This is not a democrat or republican issue. The antics of the democrats are a disgrace to this country.

  • CONGRESS: Get to work and lead us through this crisis
    The Coronavirus pandemic is a crisis unlike anything that Americans have ever experienced before. Our hospitals are overwhelmed. Our people are dying. Our neighbors are losing their jobs, struggling to pay rent and bills, and scared about the future. At a moment like this, we need leadership. We need our government up and running and responding to the crisis as it unfolds. But, right now, Congress is in recess until April 20. It’s time for Congress to get back to work and take up the legislation that will steer us out of this crisis. Without Congress, President Trump is stumbling through this pandemic, costing people their lives. We understand the health risks to members of Congress and that is exactly why Congress should change its rules so that members can work and vote remotely during the outbreak. In this era of technology, there is no reason that Congress cannot debate crisis legislation from each and every state across America and vote on rescue bills from the safety of their homes. Millions of Americans are working, keeping this country up and running. Congress must do the same. Sign this petition to demand that Speaker Pelosi and Majority Leader McConnell support temporary changes to the House and Senate rules so that Congress can continue to address legislation that will end this crisis and save lives.

  • Invoke The 25th Amendment: President Trump believes he is still on a reality TV show.
    President Trump's recent comments comparing his Presidential briefings on the deadly coronavirus pandemic with a reality show named "The Bachelor" is clear indication that he does not have a grasp of the reality of his surroundings or the seriousness of the current state of The Union. He appears to believe that he is still on a reality television show.

  • Ending live daily coverage of Trump’s COVID-19 briefings
    President Trump is blatantly using the news organizations’ extensive, live coverage to freely campaign for a second term. It is wrong and dangerous to provide so much unfettered airtime to someone who is happily, shamelessly spreading terrible, damaging misinformation that is already costing fellow Americans their lives. Please tell national and local media outlets to monitor and then broadcast valid, accurate information from medical experts, rather than feelings and diatribes from the President that only serve his own electoral interests.

  • Bernie has the best COVID-19 plan. Tell Congress to pass it!
    Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis President James Bullard is warning that the U.S. could face a 30% unemployment rate and an unprecedented 50% drop in gross domestic product because of shutdowns to contain the coronavirus. Both Republicans and Democrats agree that massive government support is needed. Congress is expected to pass an economic stimulus package worth $2 trillion, but they are split on where the money should go. Corporate bailouts or worker protections? Trump and Congressional Republicans are for corporate bailouts. They want a $500 billion slush fund that would give the president unprecedented power to bail out his favorite corporations, with no limits to how firms could use the money and no protections for their workers from layoffs. The bill earmarks $50 billion for airlines, $10 billion for airports, and $3 billion for the petroleum reserve. Trump could even direct cash to his own hotels—and won’t deny he has plans to do so. We must stop this nefarious attempt to exploit the crisis for the benefit of corporations at the expense of the American people. We must block any action in Congress that would increase inequality or make us more vulnerable to future disasters. As we act to address the current pandemic, we must prepare for additional climate-fueled crises, as the severity and frequency of storms, fires and droughts continues to ramp up. Bernie’s plan is aligned with the “5 Principles for Just COVID-19 Relief and Stimulus,” as put forward by over 300 environmental, justice, labor, and movement organizations: (1) Health is the top priority, for all people, with no exceptions; (2) Provide economic relief directly to the people; (3) Rescue workers and communities, not corporate executives; (4) Make a down payment on a regenerative economy, while preventing future crises; and, (5) Protect our democratic process while protecting each other.

  • Governor Sisolak: Suspend home rental regulations and put immediate moratorium on enforcement
    We, as Nevada Property Rights Alliance (NPRA), have been calling on municipalities and state lawmakers to get the rules preventing property owners from enjoying their constitutional rights for more than a year now in anticipation of another recession coming to our state inevitably. However, we did not expect this will be needed so much sooner. Due to the coronavirus epidemic, this requires immediate attention and action and will help everyone involved - those who are sharing their homes and those who need a furnished place to stay now.  Governor Sisolak, we are awaiting your leadership on this issue this week as soon as possible. It's time for an Emergency Declaration. Meanwhile, we hope Mayors and City Councils take immediate action if they understand the urgency of this and do not wait on the Governor to act. Your fellow Nevadans in need of decisive leadership, Nevada Property Rights Alliance

  • Ban Trump's Harmful News Conferences
    Our very lives depend on muzzling this individual. If Mr. Trump suddenly disappeared from all media, as he well should have long before this crisis, we might have a shot at our lives returning to some semblance of normalcy.

  • 90 day mortgage relief for CA
    We are currently experiencing a worldwide crisis leaving a huge percent of the workforce out of work. Small businesses are suffering and facing bankruptcy. For the majority, their ability to bring in money has been forcefully removed. A large part of our population have no options to bring in compensation during this time of forced isolation. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Now is the time for Governor Newsom to follow his wise ‘stay at home’ order with a wise ‘90 day mortgage relief’ order.

  • Investigate Senator Burr and Friends for SEC Violations
    No one should be able to deal in the stock market with insider information. Not a senator, nor any of his/her friends. Ever. People must release information that can disrupt markets in a timely fashion to the whole public - not just a select few.

  • COVID-19 Emergency Rent and Debt Forgiveness
    As a group, the working class of Alameda have been financially crippled by the critical and necessary measures put in place to slow the spread of COVID-19. Though the federal or state government may eventually provide relief, the immediate conservation of our limited financial resources is necessary for our own and our family's health and well-being. Rentors, Leasors, banks and other relevant institutions can, as a class seek their own relief; the state and federal government is much more responsive and historically more likely to act on their behalf. We must protect our limited cash flow immediately.
