• Gov. Brown: Improve Transparency By Changing Requirement to Be on Presidential Ballot in CA
    We have all been affected by this issue, watching President Trump enrich himself and his family publicly and who knows how much privately making erratic and bizarre changes in policy we can't address since we have no knowledge to go on!

  • @SenToddYoung: Condition Saudi arms sales on civilian protection in Yemen
    Seeking to prevent famine in Yemen, Indiana Senator Todd Young has called on Saudi Arabia not to attack the key port of Hodeida, to reform its inspection regime at Hodeida to eliminate delays in the delivery of humanitarian supplies, and to facilitate the delivery of U.S.-funded World Food Program cranes to Hodeida that would dramatically increase the port’s humanitarian aid capacity. [1] The Trump Administration is reportedly seeking new commitments from Saudi Arabia to protect civilians as it weighs resuming sales of precision-guided munitions to Saudi Arabia. [2] Many doubt whether Saudi Arabia is capable of acting on such assurances, even if they were made in good faith. [3] Senators Murphy, Paul, Durbin, and Franken have introduced legislation [SJRes.40] that would put the onus on the Administration to certify that Saudi Arabia is protecting civilians before arms sales to Saudi Arabia could go through. [4] By co-sponsoring SJRes.40, Senator Young would strongly signal to the Administration that "required civilian protection" before arms sales can proceed includes "don't attack Hodeida and allow food aid to enter Hodeida to prevent famine." Urge Senator Young to co-sponsor SJRes.40 by signing our petition.

  • Stop Funding of US Southern Border Wall!
    Resist Trump's push for wall funding by next week or else he will withdraw funding from medical care. If they refuse to fund the border wall this week, he is threatening to veto the bill and shut down the government. He is also telling Democrats that he will withdraw federal dollars from Obamacare subsidies if they don't fall in-line as well.

  • Transparency in the White House
    The American people do not know which businesses are approaching the White House to lobby for their own self interests. We do know the White House is manipulating regulations to support big business at the expense of American workers and the environment. We have a right to know who is approaching the White House to request "special favors". This affects us all.

  • Congress Should Not Support the Building of the Wall on the U.S. and Mexico Border With Our Tax D...
    Because we should not forget that Ronald Regan, a Republican, begged Soviet Premier Gorbachev to tear down the Wall that divided Berlin. Who do we think we are using my tax payer money to build a wall that the majority of Americans do not want. Use our tax dollars to help America and Americans.

  • NYT: Fire Bret Stephens or we'll pull our subscriptions.
    Climate Change is the Biggest issue of our times. It underlies and exacerbates issues of food insecurity and health, and is tossed around as if it's just politics as usual. We cannot continue to let the issue be normalized to a normal debate. It's time we do something to hold media accountable.

  • Flint Water is still bad
    It has been weeks, if not months, since I have seen or heard anything about the water sin Flint. We must not allow our state government, Governor and legislature, to forget that the situation still exists.

  • Provide federal protection of 100% disabled veterans benefits after 10 years instead of 20 years
    It is sad that after 10 years as a 100% disabled veteran, the VA can strip away that status. Most veterans are afraid to even volunteer for that reason. It is difficult to go back into the workforce after a period of 10 years of inactivity. So please give federal protection for 100% disabled veterans status, after a period of 10 years of being 100%, instead of the 20 that exists now, barring fraud.

  • Vote No on Right-To-Work
    The real purpose of right to work laws is to tilt the balance toward big corporations and further rig the system at the expense of working families. These laws make it harder for working people to form unions and collectively bargain for better wages, benefits and working conditions.

  • No More ICE Agents, No Wall
    I'm starting this petition because the proposed budget is xenophobic and racist. It will hurt almost everyone in America. Most undocumented immigrants are productive members of society. In order to finance raids, the wall, and private prisons, the budget will hurt almost all Americans.
