American Indians and Alaskan natives are among the most impoverished and marginalized groups in the United States. Their tribes have often been decimated by the spread of infectious diseases. The coronavirus has caused major problems for indigenous peoples. Because of treaties, the Federal government is responsible for protecting the health and safety of American Indians and Alaskan natives. The year 2020 marks the 400th anniversary of the establishment of Plymouth Colony. What do Americans want to celebrate on Thanksgiving Day?

I;m a concerned citizen who cares about these people, and what he's doing is a felony. The Hospital staff is scared of dying due to The Corona virus, and the hospital staff members walked out of the hospitals and protested that they medical supplies and equipment real bad, and Donald Trump lied that there's a low supply of it until The news media showed that Donald Trump has lied to us and there's stock piles of medical supplies and medical equipment in the ware house, and won't let the hospitals have them right away that'll cause more deaths against the patients and the staff. Which is illegal, and it's a felony!

I live on a golf course and see people daily who ignore the social distancing guidelines. I contacted our golf club's manager and was told all they can do is recommend safety measures and that the golf course cannot enforce these safety measures. I was also told that they had no plan to shut down in the future and would stay open, basically, because they could. Golfers are sharing golf carts and congregating in close proximity to each other at tee boxes and on the greens in clear violation of all that we have been instructed to do by the CDC and by our own governor. People who ignore social distancing recommendations are a health risk to us all. Since the golf courses themselves will not enforce, they must be shut down. The people and businesses who ignore social distancing and stay at home orders are irresponsible and short-sighted as is our Governor who has given his blessing to this. We are further at risk because the golf courses are open. Shut them down and save lives.

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.

First Responders, Physicians, Nurses and all support staff are being exposed to psychological trauma as they respond to patients with Covid-19. Every day they face multiple traumatizing experiences: inadequate medical supplies making it impossible to render the care they were trained to deliver, personal physical danger, relentless hours, separation from their families and in some cases having to make desperate moral choices about which patient receives treatment. They have not been prepared for this onslaught, level of exhaustion and depletion. The authorities have not seen fit to provide training on handling extreme stress nor have the authorities seen fit to offer stress debriefing which has been shown to lessen the damaging effects of trauma. Our first responders and healthcare workers are suffering psychological and moral wounding as they try to save us. Past studies after SARS demonstrate that a significant percentage of them will develop Post Traumatic Stress Disorder as a result. This will likely be debilitating for many of them, their families and will impact our entire healthcare system. We can do better. We can back up the people who are putting their well-being on the line for us by demanding they be provided with well researched on-site training and support. Tell Alex Azar to stop taking advantage of our sisters and brothers who are trying to take care of the desperately ill. Tell Alex Azar to use his authority to demand they be supported and cared for right now.

I am the Reverend Dr. Daniel Schlorff, advocate for voters' rights and ballot access activist for over 20 years. While I have agreed to run for CT State Representative (HD90, Wallingford and Cheshire), I'm also concerned that the voters of my district as well as voters all across the state will have to choose between risking sickness during this pandemic vs. not being able to exercise their voice in this year's election cycle. Several states have already successfully enacted a vote-by-mail program, including Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Utah, California, and Hawaii -- and these states are seeing a higher voter turnout as a result. That's why I'm asking you and all voters of Connecticut to help me tell Governor Lamont and Secretary Merrill that the voters of Connecticut want an executive order and enactment of a universal vote-by-mail program instead of the in-person Primary Election scheduled for June 2, 2020. Furthermore, should either the State or Federal governments not issue an all-clear in advance of the General Election on November 3, 2020 , we will once again urge them to enact the universal vote-by-mail program, to continue until all voters are safe to leave their homes and enter the voting booths without extreme risk. Sending this petition is the only way to send a message that is loud and clear, that we want to prevent voter disenfranchisement this election year while also keeping Connecticut voters safe from others and others from them. Thank you for signing this petition!

Tenants struggling with rent payment during coronavirus should know whether they are protected from eviction.

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.

Our very lives depend on these selfless individuals, who are fighting a war on our behalf. They are truly heroes and this is the least we can do to thank them for their service.

We need Dr Fauci to continue to be the voice of science based reason and information. Recent conspiracy theories, gaining millions of believers, have targeted him as a “deep state” actor working to undermine Trump. We need to show massive support of and faith in Dr Fauci in the face of this effort to undermine him. He is the voice we trust.

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.

We are losing lives every day at an alarming rate and we are already counting our healthcare workers among those numbers. Delaying the use of the Defense Production Act is costing precious lives.
