• Ban the HRHOA Use of Round Up
    Glyphosate is a carcinogenic herbicide with multiple million dollar settlements awarded to patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. We are against ever having any Hope Ranch employee or subcontractor, paid with HRHOA dues, purchase or use the toxic product known as Round Up. The potential risk to our employees' health, litigation liability and the danger to residents health is at stake. Run off into the creeks and oceans is of concern when used on common areas, and therefore easily tracked into our homes and passed on to family, pets and wildlife. Please sign the petition to let the Hope Ranch Homeowners Board know where we stand. Thank you.

  • Reschedule MDMA & Psilocybin
    Too many Americans are needlessly suffering from psychological disorders such as depression, PTSD, anxiety, and substance dependency. Science has proven that these drugs show great promise in successfully treating the above disorders, often with just a single treatment. Rescheduling these drugs would be the first necessary step toward a future where the number of our Veterans committing suicide, individuals with depression, anxiety, addiction are greatly reduced. Thank you.

  • Protecting Seniors Living in Home Healthcare Facilities in Wisconsin
    TAM LAWRENCE, LOBBYIST For several years, I trusted a home health care provider to care for my mom after a series of strokes my mother needed 24hr care. For the first 5yrs we received cares; as the business owner continued to open up more homes- the service declined and her staff went along with it. Unfortunately, my mom has for too long endured the abuse and neglect provided by Willowcrest Turner's Point Community Residential Facility located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. On March 31, 2019 when I found my mother in a closed room sitting in a pool of urine, she had been in this condition for at least several hours. When I confronted the caretaker she agreed my mom was in this condition for over 2 hours [i have video] of her statement. Thereafter, I called the owner of the Community Residential Based Facility she stated, " I can not control what those people do over there. You have to do, what you got to do! We've been going through this for sometime and the state will not define this as abuse, your mother does not have any skin breakdowns nor does she have skin issues." - stated Kim Turner the owner of Willowcrest ll Turner's Point On one too many occasions the owner of WILLOWCREST TURNER'S POINT has played the victim and rather than fix what's wrong with her business's model- she'd rather complain about there not being suitable caregivers in MILWAUKEE WISCONSIN for her to hire. In efforts, to derail me from contacting the governing bodies or removing my mom she stated - it's a problem for basically everyone in the business in MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN so my mom in most cases would be treated the same or even worse if relocated. Her candid remarks, would normally make me feel a sense of hopelessness in which case I'd freeze up in fear. However, on April 1st 2019 I refused to be treated like a FOOL any longer and found assistance from the staff at St. Anne Day Service. I got my mom out! Let's make sure our seniors are protected - In closing, there needs to be tough laws, jail time, fines and the termination of licensing for those who abuse and neglect our seniors

  • Medicare for All!
    Since taking office this term, Trump and Republicans have spent the past year terrorizing our communities and cutting health care for millions across the country. At the same time, billions of dollars are being funneled ICE and military funding. The truth could not be more clear: the United States has the money to fund health care for every American, but the Trump administration and Republicans in Congress are simply choosing not to. Americans are ready for change. In a recent survey, it was revealed that 65% of voters support Medicare for All. People feel the pain of these high costs every single day. It’s time for Democrats to be BOLD and fight for Medicare for All. Our livelihoods and our futures are on the line. The health care crisis is impacting every single one of us. But together, we can fight for a future that provides every person with the health care they deserve.

  • RACISM MEETS CRITERIA FOR THREAT TO PUBLIC HEALTH
    From gun violence to universal healthcare, no field of endeavor or conflict in this country is untouched by the legacy of racism manifest by our American destiny. Despite scholarly and established work to the contrary, CDC cries "No evidence-based best practices to address it" as an excuse not to do their job, so the people must demand it. I have seen the stress of loss of privilege, the minute daily drips of intangible "microaggressions" and the gaping wounds of bullets; I took an oath and DO NO HARM is not enough. We're also on Twitter and would ask folks to tweet Trevor Noah and other prominent folks who "have the mic"! @Right2healthNow

  • Minneapolis Citizens for Eliminating Pesticides in Our Public Parks
    Whereas scientific studies associate exposure to pesticides with health risks to infants, children, pregnant women, and the elderly; Whereas pesticides are harmful to pets, wildlife, beneficial insects (including bees, currently at great risk from colony collapse disorder), and natural ecosystems; and Whereas, toxic runoff from pesticides and chemical fertilizers pollutes lakes, rivers and drinking water sources: We, the undersigned, call upon the Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board to enact a policy to entirely eliminate the use of pesticides and synthetic fertilizers on all park-owned and park-leased properties, including all land and all bodies of water under MPRB control, in order to protect the public and promote a healthy, sustainable environment; and we call upon the Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board to implement a pesticide-free management policy on all park-owned and park-leased properties.

  • Awareness for the disease Avascular Necrosis (AVN)
    There are thousands of people of all ages that have been affected by this rare disease including myself called Avascular necrosis. This disease goes through several different stages and can often be overlooked or misdiagnosed. Unfortunately I am one of the many that was not diagnosed early enough to prevent having my hips replaced because of it. Some of the factors that cause this are the excessive use of alcohol, steroids, trauma, sickle cell anemia, arthritis and lupus. All of these can contribute to blood loss from bone. Although it is unknown exactly what causes this condition. Avascular necrosis can also occur without any conditions of these risk factors being present. All of the bones in the body can be affected by Avascular necrosis. It can render the person to be in severe pain as well as lead to deterioration of the joints. The femur bone in the thigh is most commonly affected, causing pain in the hip and knee. Also the ankles, shoulders, and jaw are also commonly affected by this disease too. Avascular necrosis can occur in more than one part of the body during its life long course of the condition, either at the same or different times. I have designed and created an awareness ribbon for this silent rare disease. The colors of the ribbon are blue (faith), green (hope) and purple (peace). I created the ribbon in 2014.

  • Break up Big Medicine, Lower Health Care Costs!
    When just a few corporations dominate the system, they gain enormous power over prices and quality of care, and everyday people are left with fewer choices, worse care, and higher bills.   Members of Congress in both chambers are taking stock too—recognizing how these health care giants are making it nearly impossible for everyday people to access health care.  Just last week, Senator Elizabeth Warren introduced legislation to break up “Big Medicine”—conglomerates that have grown too large and too powerful. And last month, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called out CVS Health’s CEO over its health care monopoly in an explosive viral hearing. That’s why we need as many people as possible urging Congress to rein in Big Medicine and Big Pharma. There’s already some momentum, and with constituent pressure, we can actually get Congress to take action to stop the health care affordability crisis.  Add your name: It’s time to put patients first and end the monopolization of our health care system.
