I would like our politicians to be covered by whatever new version comes out of Congress. It only makes sense that they will be covered by a revised ACA rather than have private health coverage especially when the People of our great Country already pay for it through our taxes. When a member of Congress retires, they should be required to have ACA coverage for which they pay out of pocket. This would essentially give best coverage if they are required to participate upon leaving office.

As a public school parent, I see every day the difficult and essential work that happens in our public schools. That's why I'm sounding the alarm about HR 610, a horrifying new bill in Congress that would repeal the Educational and Secondary Education Act, the landmark law that provides Title I support for schools serving low-income students--and guarantees essential rights for disabled students. HR 610 would redirect Federal ed funding into to vouchers for private school kids. The bill would also largely abolish the Department of Education and repeal basic health standards for school lunches. Millions of students like my daughter and her classmates would immediately suffer. Donald Trump and Betsy DeVos have embraced similar ideas. So we need to stop HR 610 from getting traction in Congress. The good news is, this isn't a party line issue. People across the political spectrum support public schools and the ESEA. If we raise our voices together, we can stop HR 610. Please share this petition widely!

Donald Trump's education plan would redirect billions of dollars away from public schools to create a massive and risky voucher program, even though evidence shows that vouchers often hurt the kids they’re supposed to help. To pay for it, experts say support for schools that serve low-income students would be cut. And another likely source would be cuts to IDEA, which helps kids with disabilities. Many education and disability-rights groups have opposed Trump's new education Secretary Betsy DeVos, especially after she showed a stunning lack of understanding and support for laws that protect kids with disabilities. The good news is that Congress would have to approve Trump's cuts, and there is support across the political spectrum. With enough of an outcry, we can protect our public schools!

As parents, we would do anything to keep our kids healthy and safe. But many of us won't be able to if Congress goes along with the health care cuts Donald Trump and Republican politicians are proposing. Repealing the Affordable Care Act could strip health coverage from 13 million children, according to a new report. Turning Medicaid--which pays for health care for almost 40% of kids--into "block grants" would harm millions more. Preventive care is so important for kids. Kids who don't get care they need for conditions like asthma can fall behind in school or worse. And a serious illness can easily bankrupt a family. No member of congress wants to be known as "The Guy who Took Healthcare from Kids." So if we make enough of a fuss, we can stop this. Please share this petition widely!

Conflict of interest issues. What is he hiding? Has he been lying to the American people about something??

We have seen too many people in the U.S. die at the hands of unqualified and ill-equipped police officers who are meant to serve and protect the people, not disrespect and murder them. We need a change, and the beginning to this should be steeper qualifications.

In detention, immigrants are often subjected to harsh conditions of confinement and denied access to phone calls, family contact. They are not provided legal counsel if they cannot afford it. They might not know they have legal pathways to stay in the country (such as seeking asylum), and often waive their rights without understanding what is happening. Immigration law is incredibly complex. Immigrants with legal counsel are 5-7 times more likely to be able to legally remain with their families. Every person deserves legal representation when the stakes are so high. Immigrants in detention include people who have been in the US for years as hard working members of the economy, as well as asylum seekers and other vulnerable groups including children, pregnant women, and individuals who are seriously ill.

We cannot lose the values that define us. Please help us keep a family from being ripped apart.

Federal government websites no longer have data or information on climate change. The president has proposed slashing the EPA, and has already overturned regulations to protect the planet. But TRUMP AGREED just over 7 years ago that the U.S. needed to control climate change - yes, TRUMP signed a letter ACKNOWLEDGING that CLIMATE CHANGE IS REAL AND IS HAPPENING NOW. Hold him accountable!

The American people need a definitive answer to exactly who was behind the John Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, and the Martin Luther King assassinations. These issues have affected our politics for years now and we need truth.

The Environmental Protection Agency was created to enforce critical laws that protect people and the safety of our water and air. Hindering the EPA’s ability to do this work would only line the pockets of big corporations while destroying our environment and making American families sick. That's outrageous – and it's completely unacceptable. We need Congress to stand up for us and fiercely reject any and all attempts to cut funding for the Environmental Protection Agency. We need a strong EPA to keep polluters in check and protect our health.

FedEx is a member of the National Rifle Association's Business Alliance. As a member of the alliance, it grants discounts of up to 26 percent for NRA members, a generous perk that encourages people to join the NRA and adopt its gun culture, building the organization's power. In 2016, FedEx was #58 on the Fortune 500 list of companies, with revenues exceeding $50 billion. As an economic powerhouse, and as an iconic American brand, it needs to send a message to the gun lobby and reassure the communities it serves that it does not condone the NRA's extremist agenda by cutting its NRA ties. The National Rifle Association accepts millions of dollars from gun manufacturers every year to advance an extremist pro-gun agenda, while presenting itself as a grassroots organization for gun owners, which FedEx helps to support by being part of the NRA Business Alliance and offering members discounts. The NRA right now is working to eliminate gun-free zones at schools and houses of worship, gutting criminal background checks for gun sales, and getting rid of all permitting requirements for people who want to conceal-carry their weapons, among other things. FedEx should not have any part in building the NRA's membership and advancing its lethal agenda.
