Call for the expulsion of U.S. Rep. NunesAs a resident of California, Rep. Nunes continues to act against the favor of his California constituents in addition to the country as a whole. I find his behavior to be nothing less than a disgrace to his position, the constitution, and the stability of the democracy that his reprehensible actions immediately threaten. He has no place in our government.139 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Patrick Riley

Override trump's climate denial policyI have had enough of an Administration that denies the facts and the danger of climate change. The evidence is clear and the Guardian indicates that this Trump government even has the gall of deleting the data points and facts in their own statistics. Scary enough for you? This is perhaps like saying Nazis didn't kill the Jews. The data points are being deleted! This is massive corruption and misleading of the American people and the world! We want to continue to keep the policies in place to stop the escalation of climate change and continue to install more measures. Already in South Carolina we have "dead" rivers uninhabitable by all living things, unable to be used by human and animal consumption. Our drinking water is in danger. Our tender ecosystem is in danger. Do any of you want to leave a clean planet for our children? Or does money at the expense of our lives seem more important? Do the right thing!4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by elizabeth Clausen

Overtun Citizens UnitedCorporations need to pay their fair share of taxes, not create tax loopholes or hoard money in off shore accounts.

MN Officials: Clean Energy, Ready for 100Science and our health is being attacked by Trump's administration; it is a fact backed up by decades of scientific evidence that we must clean up the environment. If we do not make the choice to switch to clean energy now, our health and safety will decline rapidly and affect the rest of the world; we cannot afford to be selfish.67 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ian Stone

Oppose @AIPAC Bills Attacking Iran Deal & Palestinian Human RightsLobbyists with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee [AIPAC] are pressing Members of Congress to co-sponsor bills that attack the Iran nuclear agreement by imposing new sanctions on Iran [S.722 & H.R.1698] [1] and attack Palestinian self-determination by promoting Israeli settlements in the West Bank [S.720 & H.R.1697]. [2] S.722 would designate part of Iran's military as a terrorist organization, which would obstruct contact between the U.S. and Iranian militaries. U.S. military leaders have opposed this move on the grounds that it would undermine the U.S. fight against ISIS in Iraq. [3] S.720 & H.R.1697 would erase the distinction in U.S. law between Israel and Israeli settlements in the West Bank and make it illegal for U.S. companies to boycott or otherwise discriminate against Israeli settlements in the West Bank based on calls by the United Nations or the European Union. [4] Urge your Senators and Representative to oppose these bills by signing our petition.

Protect our immigrant neighbors - pass Senate Bill 54.Every day we read about the effects of deportations and the threat of deportation faced by our immigrant neighbors: five-year olds too anxious to go to kindergarten; parents who must make "contingency" plans for their U.S. citizen children; crime victims and witnesses too frightened to call police; people afraid to go to the jobs they depend on to feed their families. We hear the stories and see the stress on the faces of the people we work with, who live on our block, the people we teach or go to school with, the families who worship alongside us. The California Values Act will ensure that state and local resources are not used to fuel mass deportations, separate families, or spread fear throughout our communities. Under the California Values Act, state and local law enforcement agencies and school police and security departments will not engage in immigration enforcement. No state or local resources will be used to investigate, detain, detect, report, or arrest persons for immigration enforcement purposes. And regardless of whether state or local resources are implicated, no state or local law enforcement agency will detain or transfer any person for deportation without a judicial warrant. Civic institutions that serve the public - like schools, health facilities, courthouses, and the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement- will remain safe and accessible to all California residents, regardless of immigration status. They will establish and publicize policies that limit assistance with immigration enforcement to the fullest extent possible consistent with federal and state law. Please sign this petition and ask your legislators and Gov. Brown to affirm California's values by enacting Senate Bill 54 into law.1,236 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Kevan Insko

Halt the Arkansas Mass ExecutionsI have worked with some of the inmates who are scheduled to be executed. They participated in a creative writing workshop I helped to lead between May and October, 2016. They committed heinous crimes in the past, and I grieve for the families of their victims, but there is NOTHING to be gained from the state's killing of them.241 of 300 SignaturesCreated by David Jolliffe

RESTORE NYSOFA FUNDING!Many of my patients depend on NYSOFA funding and the critical services Erie County Senior Services provides. Cuts to this funding will put the health and well-being of thousands of Erie County seniors in jeopardy. I am writing to urge you to restore critical funding to The New York State Office for the Aging to protect vital services for older New Yorkers. These services keep costs down and ensure older New Yorkers remain as active and independent as possible at home in the community. Please restore the following budget items in the final, 2017-2018 New York State Budget: • Fully Restore New York Connects funding to The State Office for the Aging (SOFA) budget, and keep a dedicated, state-funded revenue stream in place to support NY Connects- serving more than 230,000 older New Yorkers and their families each year, with information and assistance on long term care options; • Restore the 25% county match exemption under the Community Services for the Elderly (CSE) Program to preserve local funding to operate home delivered meals, non-medical transportation, in homecare and case management services, services for the elderly, so they can remain independent at home; • Support an additional $24 million for Expanded In-Home Services for the Elderly Program (EISEP), in order to provide the 15,000 older New Yorkers on waiting lists statewide for EISEP services, such as case management and homecare; • Reject $7.4 million in proposed cuts for Direct Care Worker cost of living adjustments (COLA’s). This funding, enacted in 2015 to provide a wage increase to direct care workers who provide seniors with services such as personal care and bathing, is now slated for cuts because the funds weren’t adopted as anticipated, due to complications with worker identification. I am counting on you to advocate for and use your influence to help preserve these critical services for seniors in New York State. Thank you for your consideration and help with this important matter.43 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Robert Stall MD
