• 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.

  • Save NC Teachers - NC Senate Pass SB541 (HB-13)
    NC Schools will be forced to lay off current teachers, most likely those who specialize in art, music, physical education, and STEM. This would reduce or eliminate specials as currently offered in our schools.

  • Stop Wake County Human Services from illegal acts of housing discrimination in violation of the F...
    TO STOP STRIPPING ONES OF LEGAL AUTONOMY BECAUSE ONES WOULD NOT SETTLE THEIR LAWSUITS OF DISCRIMINATION(I established a Prima Facie case after a cross examination on "WCHS" and they lost a motion to dismiss. IN VIOLATION OF THE "FHAA" OF 1988. AND TO STOP TAKING GUARDIANSHIP FROM GREAT PARENTS BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO HOUSING FOR THEIR LOVED ONE "AFTER" HE OR SHE WAS EXCLUDED FROM HOUSING BY WAKE COUNTY HUMAN SERVICES., ASSISTANT HOUSING DIRECTOR, WANDA TEEL WHO PERFORMED THESE ILLEGAL ACTS TOWARDS MY SON AND I. AND TO STOP PLACING OUR LOVED ONES IN BAD GROUP HOMES OF SERIOUS A1 NEGLECT CHARGES WITH STAFF MEMBERS WHO ARE EMOTIONALLY ABUSIVE AND MORE TOWARDS THE RESIDENTS. NO DEADLINE. My son and I are victims of housing discrimination, in violation of the FHAA of 1988. The Wake County Human Services in Raleigh, NC Assistant Housing Direcor, Wanda Teel made housing unavailable for my son who has mental illness. This illegal act lead to my losing the Guardianship because I had no housing for him. I have always been commended as being over 200% supportive from all who have know us, including Doctors, Social Workers, Therapist, etc. She also denied 2 reasonable accommodation requests to add the son to the housing lease, although I signed rules to a new program that stated that a participant can request a change in family composition. "WCHS" wanted me to sign into a new program that would further keep him out of the housing. "WCHS" wanted me to sign the forms that would keep him out of the housing. She wantedme to sign without allowing me to see the new rules. This was stated in the cross examination, contributing to "WCHS" motioning to dismiss this case. I won my motion for preliminary injunction pending trial while "WCHS" lost their motion to dismiss. There never came to be a be a trial as Atty. Abraham Jones came in the picture to get the case settled against my will. He became a GAL only for the settling of the case as I am not and have never been adjudicated as being incompetent or incapacitated, thus I lost LEGAL AUTONOMY because I would not settle on the terms of "WCHS". I was harassed by my Attorney(Who cross examined "WCHS") for several months and then she arranged to have Atty. Jones(A former Wake County Judge of 18 years) to come into the case to settle it against my will. After housing was made unavailable, my Guardianship was taken from me because I had no place for him to live. The Public Guardian who had the son placed in 2 bad homes, had not been heard of for over one year and one half. It is the second time that he had my son placed in terrible homes of complaints that became substantiated by "DHHS My son is currentlyi in a bad group home which currently had a bed bug infestion in which these pests were found in every living space of the facility except the kitchen and it was infested with roaches and they were found in every living space except the kitchen and it was found to have German Roaches that were found in the kitchen, infesting areas where food and food supplies were stored. The Nigerian Staff Licensee told her Nigerian Staff NOT to give the son medications as authorized by a Medical Professional. In another report of substantiation, the Nigerian Staff DID NOT give my son medications as authorized by a medical professional and in another report, the staff gave meds that WERE NOT AUTHORIZED BY a MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL.

  • We breath the same air!
    Ron Johnson uses the logic that "most of our air pollution comes from Chicago so why should Wisconsin businesses be penalized?" In other words if your neighbor throws his trash on his front lawn and it blows onto your property, the solution is that you start throwing your trash on your own front lawn as well? This is nuts!!! But unfortunately people buy into this crazy logic so we must be the keeper of sanity and denounce this as what it is: Greed at the expense of the air we all—even Republicans—breathe.
