Mountain communities around the world are seeing their environments and economies damaged because of climate change. In the Lake Tahoe area, we’re already seeing increased warming air and lake temperatures, heavy rain in winter causing increased flooding, more invasive species, increased tree mortality, and increased risk of catastrophic forest fires. Given the stakes for our lake and our community, it’s imperative for Tahoe to become a national leader in confronting climate change. That means cutting ties with the polluting fossil fuels driving the problem, and repowering South Lake Tahoe with 100% clean, renewable energy. More renewable energy means more good clean energy jobs, cleaner air and water, and healthier communities. So far, 25 cities across the U.S. have made the 100% clean energy commitment, including a growing number of mountain communities like Park City, UT, Moab, UT and Aspen, CO. Now it’s Tahoe’s turn to step up and take bold action toward the clean energy future that we need. Please sign the petition to urge the City of South Lake Tahoe to commit to securing 100% of our electricity from clean, renewable sources like solar and wind by 2030.

Congress is paying exorbitant amounts of money to support the Trump family's lifestyle, while Trump is trying to take away the healthcare of over 24 MILLION Americans. This money should be used to better help the lives of Americans! 1. Strengthen our healthcare!!! 2. Invest in public education!!! 3. Improve conditions for homeless vets!!! Just to name a few examples.

Global warming is a proven scientific fact. Trump denies it to help his cronies in big coal and big oil get even richer. If we allow more coal mines to be opened and built and sustained, we are polluting our own country and our children's futures. We are rolling back our commitment to our global partners. America, we must keep our integrity and our promises --we must continue our leadership on climate change. We must block Trump's executive order to revive Big Coal. Sign this petition to block Trump's executive order to reverse the Clean Power Plan.

We are about 1600 families in our Community and are experiencing very bad cell phone signal while at home. Our calls often drop and switching to wireless calling is not helping as a work around. It's sad that for a million dollar community, ATT is unable to provide adequate cell phone signal. I have checked with City of Frisco and apparently there are no additional cell towers planned in near future. We need ATT to consider improving the service at the earliest possible, failure of which we will change our service from ATT to a better service provider.

Citizens rights. Transparency please!

This action alone might discourage dishonest applicants from even running for federal positions. This is one way to "drain the swamp".

As a scientist, I know climate change is real and dangerous. As a grandmother, I want to leave a habitable planet for my grandchild. Most scientific models predict that this planet will be nearly uninhabitable by the end of this century if we do not take very strong immediate action to limit the gases that cause the warming effect that is now occurring and accelerating.

According to the American Lung Association, Fresno, Clovis, Madera, Hanford and surrounding communities have been ranked as the dirtiest places to live for over 10 years with the worse air quality in the country. Leaf Blowers continue to be used with no ban in effect; all the while raising dust levels and particulate matter in an already polluted community. By signing this petition you will help save lives by reducing potential threats such as Lung Cancer, Asthma, and Heart Disease. ITS TIME TO TAKE ACTION.

U.S. support for Saudi Arabia's war and blockade in Yemen has brought Yemen to the brink of famine, with hundreds of thousands of Yemeni children facing starvation. [1] Instead of ending the carnage, some in the Trump Administration want to get the U.S. directly involved in Saudi Arabia's war. [2] But this war has never been authorized by Congress. The Houthi Shia targets of the Saudi war aren't "associated forces" of Al Qaeda. On the contrary: Al Qaeda has fought alongside Saudi Arabia against the Houthis, and Saudi Arabia's war against the Houthis has strengthened Al Qaeda. [3] Since Congress has never authorized this war, direct U.S. participation would violate the Constitution and the War Powers Resolution. Now Reps. Mark Pocan [D-WI], Justin Amash [R-MI], Ted Lieu [D-CA], and Walter Jones [R-NC] are leading a bipartisan letter challenging the Administration to show its legal justification for direct participation in the Saudi war against the Houthis without Congressional authorization. Building support for this letter is a step towards invoking the War Powers Resolution to compel the withdrawal of U.S. forces from the conflict. Urge your Representative to sign the Pocan-Amash-Lieu-Jones letter by signing our petition.

This startling chain of events developed last week: Devin Nunes, Chair of the House Intelligence Committee, cancelled a hearing at which Sally Yates was scheduled to testify, along with James Clapper and John Brennan. Even before the cancellation, Trump Administration lawyers tried to block her appearance. As committee member Rep. Jim Himes stated in the New Yorker: “Any blocking of anyone or anything simply stokes suspicion of what the Administration might be hiding." In a follow-up, Sean Spicer gave this statement: “The White House has taken no action to prevent Sally Yates from testifying and the Department of Justice specifically told her that it would not stop her.” But Spicer's statement directly contradicts correspondence between Yates’s attorney and the Administration, which was published in the Washington Post. Clearly the current investigation is not viable with Nunes at the helm, deliberately intervening in the collection of key information. The administration has given a dishonest portrayal to the public. We demand a special committee.

The U.S. military is already the strongest in the world - bar none. We spend more on defense than what the next seven nations spend on defense combined. We cannot continue to bankrupt our domestic communities or diplomacy programs to pay for war.

With the EPA already grossly underfunded, Trump's proposed cuts to reduce their budget by 31%, leaving the agency only 5.7 billion dollars.
