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

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.

The public has a direct stake in this case because it exposes a dangerous failure inside Washington State’s justice system: DOC is refusing to follow binding court orders and is holding a man based on a conviction that no longer exists. When a state agency can ignore the courts, keep false records, and unlawfully restrain someone past their legal release date, it threatens the rights and safety of every Washington resident. This is not just about one man — it is about the integrity of our justice system. Charles’s case reveals how easily a person can be misclassified, mislabeled, and held under false information, even after the courts have corrected the record. If DOC can disregard a legally vacated conviction and continue treating someone as a murderer “for historical purposes,” then no one is protected from similar errors or abuses. By joining this campaign, you are standing up for: • Truth and transparency in state agencies • Accountability when public institutions violate the law • The rule of law, which must apply to DOC just as it applies to every citizen • Human rights, because unlawful restraint is a constitutional violation • Public safety, because a justice system that ignores court orders is a threat to everyone Supporting this petition means demanding a justice system that works — one that follows the law, corrects its mistakes, and respects the rights of the people it serves. When we protect Charles, we protect all Washingtonians. Charles is being held in prison for a conviction that the courts removed almost twenty years ago. The judges already fixed the mistake, but DOC refuses to update his record and still treats him like a murderer. They’re ignoring court orders and keeping him past his legal release date. If this can happen to Charles, it can happen to anyone. We’re fighting to get his record corrected and bring him home. I’m asking you to help because no family should have to go through this, and no one should be held in prison based on false information. 

The new budget proposal has $1.5 million taken away from sidewalk infrastructure and the Eviction Advocacy center, and it needs to be returned.

Government power can take away a person’s freedom, privacy, livelihood, and even life.  The people entrusted with that power must be held to a higher standard—not protected by a lower one.  Civil-rights violations are not paperwork errors.  They include unlawful arrests and detention, excessive force, torture, illegal surveillance, retaliation against protesters and journalists, evidence fabrication, and deliberate denial of constitutional protections.  When officials commit these acts and later obtain another badge, government contract, security clearance, or sensitive position, the system exposes the public to the same danger again.  I previously held a Top Secret–Sensitive Compartmented Information security clearance while supporting national-security programs.  Clearance holders can lose eligibility for dishonesty, criminal conduct, poor judgment, or unwillingness to follow rules because those behaviors demonstrate that they cannot be trusted.  An official who intentionally violates someone’s constitutional rights has demonstrated those same disqualifying traits in the most direct way possible.  Federal law already makes willful deprivation of constitutional rights under color of law a crime.  But conviction does not consistently create a permanent, government-wide prohibition against holding another position of authority or trust.  Losing one job is meaningless if the offender can simply move to another agency, contractor, police department, correctional facility, or sensitive government position.  This proposal applies only after a criminal conviction and allows eligibility to be restored if that conviction is overturned and the person is acquitted or the charges are dismissed.  It protects due process while protecting the public from proven abusers.  A government that returns coercive power to convicted civil-rights violators is telling victims that their rights matter less than an offender’s career.  Constitutional rights must carry real consequences when government officials deliberately violate them.  If you cannot be trusted with another person’s constitutional rights, you cannot be trusted with the nation’s secrets, weapons, surveillance systems, detention authority, or public power.

## THE MORAL AND FISCAL CASE FOR A DISABILITY LIVING WAGE The current Social Security Disability system is built on an inherently flawed "pay-to-play" model. By basing monthly payments on prior work history and "work credits," the government effectively penalizes those who become disabled at a young age. These individuals never had the chronological opportunity to build a career or pay into the system, yet they are forced to survive on significantly less support than those injured later in life. This creates a systemic "youth penalty" that traps our most vulnerable citizens in a cycle of lifelong poverty. The financial logic of the current system is also deeply counterproductive. When disability payments fall below the actual cost of living, individuals are often forced into state-funded nursing homes or long-term care facilities. These institutions cost taxpayers significantly more than a direct living wage would. By providing a livable income, we allow people to live independently in their communities, which is not only more humane but a far more responsible use of public funds. Beyond the financial savings, a living wage provides the foundation for true autonomy. Those disabled early in life lack the 401(k)s, home equity, or personal savings that older adults may have accumulated. A guaranteed living wage levels the playing field, ensuring that a person’s ability to afford food, accessible housing, and medical necessities is based on their human dignity rather than their previous tax contributions. Providing a living wage also acts as a direct stimulus to local economies. Unlike high earners who may save or invest their income, disabled individuals living on a fixed budget spend their benefits immediately on essential local goods and services like groceries, rent, and healthcare. This keeps wealth circulating within the community and supports small businesses, turning a social safety net into an engine for local economic stability. Ultimately, America must decide if its disability program is an insurance policy for the lucky or a safety net for all. We demand that Congress eliminate the work-credit requirement for those with permanent disabilities and establish a universal benefit floor that meets the modern cost of living. It is time to end the administrative complexity of the current tiers and replace them with a simple, dignified, and livable standard for every permanently disabled American.

The USPS is sounding the alarm: without action, it could run out of money and stop deliveries before we know it.  And we don’t need to tell you: that would be the WORST possible timing for the millions of Americans who vote by mail. This was no accident. Trump and his allies have spent years trying to gut the USPS – pushing cuts, downsizing, and privatization schemes to dismantle a public service that millions of Americans rely on every day.  If Congress doesn’t step in, they may finally succeed. Trump has never hidden his goal: he's hell-bent on taking away our right to vote by mail, and seems to believe that any government function that isn't about making him or his fellow billionaires richer just isn't worth it. But we know the truth: the USPS is a vital, dependable, and all-American public service that’s crucial to our democracy. If Trump thinks he can take it away from us without a fight, he's got another thing coming. Sign The Petition: Tell Congress to act now and fully fund the USPS before it’s too late >>

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.
