Motion to censure Pre. Trump for insulting our dead soldiersTrump was insulted every veteran, every man and woman in military uniform, their families, their widows, their parents and their children. No nation with any sense of honor and patriotism can permit its leader to so dishonor these men and women. It is outrageous behavior.54 of 100 SignaturesCreated by James C. Curran

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
