Help Keep eBikes Off Of Maui’s Na Ala Hele Hiking/Mountain Biking/Equestrian TrailsThe opening of these trails to ebikes will open the floodgates to users who will easily ride 2 or 3 times the # of laps ridden by conventional (a.k.a. NONMOTORIZED) bikes, on vehicles weighing 50-60% heavier. Add this to an already overused and under maintained trail system and you get crowded, blown out trails. Here are some articles dealing with the subject: https://www.adventure-journal.com/2019/12/lawsuits-stack-up-against-feds-decision-to-allow-e-bikes-on-public-land/ https://www.adventure-journal.com/2019/08/e-bikes-on-public-lands-not-so-fast-say-these-conservancy-groups/27 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Todd Melton

We Do Care About the Hatch ActAll employees of the government except the President and Vice President are subject to the rules under the Hatch Act. This administration have repeatedly violated ethics norms and in turn is turning our democracy into autocracy. We do not want a dictator and we want government employees who are supposed to be working for the people to act in ethical ways while employed.16 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Meri Shaffer

Protect California’s Fragile Elderly from New Nursing-Home Survey ModelThis dual consultant/survey model is not new. It is the model that existed throughout the 70s and 80s—a model that resulted in such poor care, it prompted Congress to pass the 1987 Nursing Home Reform Act. This law deemed it unlawful for nurse surveyors to provide facility consults, then turn around and write deficiencies and citations for advice that they, themselves, had given, due to conflict of interest. Although the CA Health and Safety Code (1417.3) allows nurse surveyors to provide instruction to facilities on occasion, it makes it illegal to provide instruction if it will diminish survey efforts. However, given the degree of facility involvement required of nurses per the new model, survey efforts will clearly be diminished, as there are simply not enough nurses in the state of CA to implement the new survey model and still have time for surveys and complaint investigations. The new survey model is redundant and represents an inefficient and wasteful use of government spending: nursing homes already have full-time Infection Preventionists on staff, CDPH has infection-control experts that can provide consults without it being a conflict of interest, and the Center for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) has Quality Improvement Organizations and Quality Improvement Networks that are already providing oversight and education on quality improvement . The new survey model is in violation of the Nurse Practice Act: the training has not been standardized, the new survey policy was not written by an RN, and Covid-infection control is out of the scope of practice of many nurse surveyors, not all of whom have the Public Health Nurse license required engage in control of communicable disease in the community setting. The new survey model is in violation of the American Nurses Association Code of Ethics, which obligates nurses not to accept assignments that place patients, or themselves, at risk, or assignments that involve conflicts of interest. Since the majority of nursing home residents in CA are minorities, the new survey model stands to further harm a patient population that is already underserved by the healthcare system, by further ignoring the healthcare and quality of life needs of CA’s many Latino, African American and Asian nursing-home residents. Implementation of this new model will severely limit the ability of nurse surveyors to hold specific nursing-home administrators accountable for their actions, or hold the nursing-home industry at large for the motivations of a business that is for-profit, and thereby lacking in incentive to provide quality care in the first place.180 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Susan Lawrance, MA, MSN, RN

Trump's TreasonWe need to prevent President Trump from aligning our country with Russia which has some kind of plan for America. Trump is Putin's stooge as Russia helped get him elected in 2016. Also, it has been reported that Trump doesn't want to hear anyone say negative things about Putin: Trump would throw a fit. We can't risk anymore degradation of our country in favor of Russia and the Taliban.27 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Suzanne Hansen

Texas Mask Up at the PollsAs of July 4th over 132,000 people in the US have lost their lives to COVID-19. Despite being six months into the pandemic, there are still many unanswered questions. However, what we do know for sure is that masking up is an effective way to prevent the spread of this virus. Wearing a mask prevents people with COVID-19 from spreading it to others. This is a crucial line of defense when combatting a virus that can be spread even if a person doesn't have symptoms. Governor Abbott knows these facts and agrees that we must all wear masks in public to keep Texas open. Governor Abbott states that he does not want to suppress Texas voters who may not have a mask. By not extending the mask order to polling locations he will, unintentionally, suppress voters who are, appropriately, fearful of contracting COVID-19. As an emergency room pediatrician I am gravely concerned that we will see increased cases related to this election. As a state we have all sacrificed so much, we cannot allow our elections to further fan the flames of the COVID-19 pandemic. Please, tell Governor Abbott to include election polling locations in the statewide mask mandate.67 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Shubhada Hooli
