The entire African American community is affected by the lasting wounds of slavery which in effect is "robbing America of unrealized potential"

Last week Mexican presidential candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador filed a complaint with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights against President Donald Trump's planned border wall and his administration's treatment of immigrants. Lopez Obrador said he expects the commission to "speak out in accordance with the law to protect immigrants from the harassment they are suffering since Trump took office." We join the National Regeneration Movement (Moreno) in Mexico in its request for a hearing before the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights to combat the two executive orders issued on January 25 by President Trump, called "Improving Public Security in the Interior of the United States" And "Improvements in Border Security and Immigration." The Mexican leaders believe these orders “violate the presumption of innocence, ignore the right to asylum, ignore due process, omit protections relating to migrant children, have a discriminatory content, encourage the collective expulsion of foreigners without attending to the particular conditions of each case. “In addition, such orders make foreigners "deportable strangers" without having to be accused of having committed a crime, that is to say, without there being any charges against them, since it is enough for an immigration officer to consider that in the past they could Have committed any unlawful conduct.”

As a taxpayer, a voter and a consumer of medical care, I believe that the people who choose our health and medical choices should only have the same choices and costs that their constituents have.

They are trying to destroy our vibrant workforce, our healthcare, and our environment, and our cultural heritage with their greed.

Because the love and protection of our country should be above all else!! Nunes has proven himself unworthy of the position he holds!!

LIHEAP helps the elderly and low-income citizens pay their heating and power bills, and helps homeowners cover monthly energy costs, or repair broken or inefficient furnaces and air conditioners. WAP has helped insulate the homes of about 7 million families with low-cost techniques that save them money. Eliminating both the LIHEAP and WAP programs in America will only increase the hardship and poverty for low-income children and seniors. Help let America voices be heard and say no to eliminating LIHEAP and WAP.

Donald Trump just suspended a nuclear arms treaty with Russia. After costing nearly $11 billion dollars in damage because of the shutdown, we can't have Trump's tantrums also dictating our global policies. If Trump decides to launch a nuclear weapon - even if we’re not under attack - there’s nothing that can stop him. That’s because under the current law, once the President says “go," there’s just 4 minutes until launch. It’s a crazy dangerous system that was started in the Cold War to defend against an incoming attack, but is totally unnecessary today. Thankfully there’s something we can do about it. Right now, members of Congress, in the House and the Senate, have introduced legislation to prevent the U.S. president from launching a nuclear war without a declaration of war by Congress. While the President would still be able to defend from an attack against America, they could no longer launch the deadliest weapons ever invented just because they wanted to. Unfortunately, right now Congress is just continuing to act like Donald Trump is a normal president who can be trusted with normal powers. But we know that’s not true, and enough of us demand Congress take action, we can jolt them into action. Donald Trump has shocked the nation with his flagrant disregard for our national security. From stepping over the country’s top intelligence experts to appoint Bannon to the NSC, to receiving confidential security briefings while an army officer carried the “nuclear football” around in plain sight and earshot of paying members of his Key Largo club - his behavior is not rational or safe. No one who behaves this recklessly should have the ability to launch a war that would kill everyone on the planet. We need your help to pressure Congress to stop a Trump nuclear disaster. Sign our petition and tell Congress you support "No First Use" legislation to make America and the world safer by prohibiting the president from unilaterally starting a nuclear war.

Devin Nunes should not be allowed to leak information to the president regarding an ongoing investigation into the president's ties with Russia.

On March 23, a bipartisan group of ten Senators urged Secretary of State Tillerson to launch an urgent diplomatic effort to address obstacles in northeastern Nigeria, Somalia, South Sudan, and Yemen preventing humanitarian aid from being delivered to people who desperately need it. [1] About Yemen, the ten Senators wrote: "In Yemen, the World Food Program estimates that 80% of the population is in urgent need of humanitarian assistance. In short, millions of innocent people will starve to death without concerted and urgent action in the coming weeks…In Yemen, we ask that the Department of State work urgently with stakeholders to persuade combatants to permit humanitarian groups increased access to Red Sea ports like Hodeida to deliver much-needed assistance to vulnerable communities." Former U.S. officials have said that failure to open Hodeida to food imports could tip Yemen into famine. [2] The Trump Administration is moving towards selling even more weapons to Saudi Arabia. [3] This arms deal could be blocked by Congress. [4] That gives Congress leverage over Saudi Arabia. Urge Congress to use its leverage to force the Saudis to open Hodeida to humanitarian aid to avert famine by signing our petition.

TRUMP DID WHAT???? Fired Comey amid an investigation into...uh...Trump?!? Independent Investigation now!

The department of education has just removed protections for students who fall on hard times, and as a result default on their student loans. Almost every other type of debt is discharged by bankruptcy, after all, Donald Trump has done it numerous times. Banks and Wall-street are afforded protections that America's students are not, and it is time to put an end to it.
