The Trump Administration has notified Congress of a $2 billion arms deal with the United Arab Emirates. [1] Congress has thirty days to block the sale. This proposed arms deal gives Congress a unique opportunity to pressure the UAE. The UAE has been a key participant in the Saudi-led war in Yemen, which has pushed Yemen to the brink of famine. [2] Indeed, the Washington Post has referred to the threatened attack by the Saudi-led coalition on the crucial Yemeni port of Hodeida as "a planned Emirati offensive." [3] The UN Special Envoy to Yemen has stated, "We are definitely, unequivocally against any military operation" at Hodeida, warning that such an operation would likely push Yemen into full-blown famine by cutting off the supply of food to northern Yemen through Hodeida. [4] If Congress approves the UAE arms deal without insisting that the UAE agree to a ceasefire at Hodeida to protect Yemen from famine, Congress could be signing the death warrants of millions of Yemenis who are in imminent danger of dying from starvation due to the Saudi-led war and blockade on Yemen. Urge Congress to introduce and support a resolution of disapproval against the UAE arms deal unless and until the UAE agrees to a famine-averting ceasefire at Hodeida by signing our petition.

The conflict of interest from a person who recused himself and just pledged allegiance to the President over the process he agreed to recuse himself from, proves beyond reasonable doubt that he will circumvent the separation of powers and ignore the Constitution to keep his job, proves Sessions must go.

UNITED FOR CLEAN ENERGY New Hampshire residents want efficiency and clean, safe, homegrown renewable energy, not massive infrastructure projects that threaten our scenic state and rural way of life. SOUTHERN NH Opposed the NED pipeline and opposes energy infrastructure that threatens our water, air, health, safety, farms, rural culture, historic villages and children with frequent natural (fracked) gas leaks and emissions from compressor stations that include trade secret chemicals undisclosed to the U.S. government. NORTHERN NH Opposes the Northern Pass that would install massive unsightly towers, rip through the White Mountains impacting towns, tourism, scenic vistas, water quality and wildlife. HydroQuebec clear-cuts carbon-trapping forests, poisons water and has left salmon near extinction.

"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." -Evelyn Beatrice Hall There is no "hate speech" exemption to the First Amendment. The Constitution defends this man's right to say what he said, however offensive it may be. Just as it defends the equally ugly things that have been said to and about him in response to his actions. It is not the local government's job to impede his Constitutional rights. That is a matter for the Supreme Court to decide how to enforce the First Amendment. If we want to change the Constitution then that's up to Congress. It is way beyond the scope of a local city government to decide which parts of the Constitution it wants to throw out because they don't like something that was said. The appropriate course of action is to boycott his business if you disagree with his actions. I'm sure the damage this man has done to his business with his careless words will ruin him anyway so that will take care of itself. But I take HUGE exemption to his Constitutional rights being squashed by the City of Hoboken. Hoboken is way overstepping their power and their actions and response to this matter. These actions are bordering on creating a police state. I hope Hoboken will instead choose to defend the Constitutional rights of ALL of their citizens even the ones who say or do things they may not agree with, however unpleasant. This man broke no laws and was acting within the bounds of his Constitutional right to free speech, the City of Hoboken has no standing to deny him those rights. The citizens can decide to boycott him but the city cannot deny him his Constitutional rights.

Eight members of Local 33-UNITE HERE, the union for graduate teachers at Yale, are fasting to protest the university’s refusal to bargain with us. Here’s why: We voted to unionize in February. But Yale has refused to negotiate. Instead the university has engaged in months of legal delay, attempting to buy time until Donald Trump can seat new appointees to the National Labor Relations Board who will void our votes and roll back our rights. We’ve done all this for a simple reason. We want a voice and a seat at the table. Our members, like many young workers in this economy, have to deal with intense economic insecurity. We face punishing competition in a declining career track. Women experience an epidemic of sexual harassment in academia. People of color are systemically marginalized. We want change, and we’ve been told to wait for too long. Our fast and fight back will keep going until we’re heard.

To help preserve our national monuments for future generations and a small payback to the great people whose ancestors once called these places home.

County Executive Steve Schuh reiterated his eagerness to enroll Anne Arundel County into the failed 287g program this week. His move to utilize County funds to target immigrant and communities of color is a step in the wrong direction. Help us tell the County Executive to do the right thing and withdraw the application.

It's time to demand that our elected officials protect the Immigrants within our community. Immigrants pay over 35 million in taxes in Stanislaus county on a yearly basis yet have no representation in local offices. American Independence was justified through the motto "no Taxation without representation" yet today that same principle still applies. We pay our fare share of taxes, it's time for our representatives​ to represent Immigrants once and foreall.

By supporting the 301h sewage waiver, Surfrider Foundation has betrayed the surfing community. Saving money is not a good reason to allow the ocean to be treated as a toilet. When every other municipality in California has given up their waiver and built infrastructure needed for secondary treatment, why should San Diego be different? Surfrider has turned their back on us, let's turn our back on them.

One of the largest public universities in Georgia should not publicly promote itself with a legislator who is not doing his job marred in controversy while peddling ideas that are not true and dangerous. Consider agreeing and signing this petition to ask President and former Georgia Attorney General Sam Olens, Athletic Director Vaughn Williams, the Student Government Association, and University Relations Assistant Vice President Tammy DeMel to at least clarify that Loudermilk’s divisive political views do not reflect those of the university’s should they choose to continue to use his likeness for publicity. https://twitter.com/RepLoudermilk/status/862436879844732928 http://www.esquire.com/news-politics/politics/news/a55026/republican-congress-constitution https://soundcloud.com/alan-j-sanders/congressman-loudermilk-interview-march-16-2017 http://www.cbs46.com/story/35140033/residents-say-theyre-being-ignored-by-their-congressman *Correction to the text in original petition: ... audio interview suggesting that the judicial branch of the government is somehow inferior to the other TWO which is clearly not true and dangerous.

The City of Clearwater currently prohibits residents from having backyard chickens. Backyard chickens provide their owners with organic eggs that are more nutritious than those found in stores. Hens make less noise than birds living naturally in the wild.

Trump spoke and continues to speak, now Ryan will visit. No Top Democrat so far has come to Ga. No democratic rallies for Ossoff here yet. Apart from the large sums reported in support of him, no big wig Democrat has visited Ga to speak for Jon Ossoff.
