Our community is 85% Hispanic. We have moved from 4th poorest city to 51st because of growth and investment here. Now law abiding and tax paying people are living in fear of deportation for themselves or a family member. 20,000 Dreamers attend college here and are feeling threatened. This is unnecessary!

The Yemen raid was approved by Trump without adequate planning or investigation, and according to military sources was a complete disaster as a result. The Miami Herald reported today of the anguish caused the father of Ryan Owens as a result of his death, and his request for an investigation. http://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics-government/article135064074.html It would be hypocrisy of the first order for Rep. Chaffetz not to investigate how this happened with the same zeal that he investigated Clinton after learning she planned to run for president.

President Trump does not respect freedom of the press and should be publicly embarrassed for his anti-press statements.

I want to see the ratings of the WHCD soar above all expectations.

The Trump Administration is targeting "[a]liens who illegally enter the United States without inspection or admission" claiming that they "present a significant threat to national security and public safety. " All government departments & agencies have been ordered to deploy all "lawful" means to "repatriate illegal aliens swiftly, consistently, and humanely." Most undocumented immigrants pose no threat to the national security or public safety of the United States but, in fact, provide labor resources and tax revenue that help support the US economy and increase diversity of the American population. Undocumented workers, who have no criminal history (guilty of a felony and/or misdemeanor excluding presentation of false documentation for humanitarian purposes or preservation of family unity) and who are gainfully employed (at least one family member), should be granted the same opportunity as those of previous generations to become naturalized citizens of the United States. Tell the White House and Congress to immediately legislate an expedited pathway for these undocumented workers and their families to gain US citizenship. It is the American way.

I believe that Donald Trump is not mentally fit to be President. I think Congress should force Trump to be examined by a Psychologist or Psychiatrist to determine if he is mentally fit. His actions since he has become President have led me to believe that Trump is mentally unstable. He is paranoiac, he thinks that everyone is against him, that every bad news story is fake. He is overly narcissistic, he believes that he is Gods gift to this country even though polls show otherwise. We need our representatives in Congress to investigate the possibility that Trump is mentally ill. Thank you for signing this petition.

A wildlife refuge should be exactly that.....a refuge. No barbaric, cruel extermination methods such as aerial gunning, poison, and gassing should be allowed in these protected areas to appease game hunters.

On April 4, Champaign County voters will vote in referenda to decide whether to save our Champaign County Nursing Home. On March 22, Champaign County Democrats will vote on whether to endorse the referenda campaign to save our county nursing home. When the Vermillion County nursing home was privatized, the new management dramatically cut the staff, contradicting promises they had made to county officials. [1] Three years later, the nursing home was being cited by the state for life-threatening abuses. [2] Over the years, the Champaign County Nursing Home has tended to thousands of residents. [3] But now, the Champaign County Chamber of Commerce wants to privatize our nursing home. [4] We know where this would lead: more cuts in services for people who need them. Urge Members of the Champaign County Democratic Central Committee to vote on March 22 to endorse the referenda campaign to save our nursing home by signing our petition.

Mr. Walberg (Michigan Congressional District 7) avoided all public events during the recent recess, and constituents were forced to hold "empty chair" events. We have a lot to say that Mr. Walberg should hear. Calls and emails are answered with unrelated form letters, and he needs to hear our concerns in person to be forced to directly address them.

Steve Bannon, a self-avowed Leninist (“I’m a Leninist. Lenin wanted to destroy the state, and that’s my goal too. I want to bring everything crashing down, and destroy all of today’s establishment.” ) has been given the highest power of an elected official within our Government under the President as Chief Strategist. His attacks on the press, calling them "The Opposition Party", is part of an obvious attempt to divide the people of the U.S. His speech at CPAC has outlined their Nationalist agenda. Anyone who is trying to dismantle our democracy is an ENEMY OF THE STATE!! We must remove Steve Bannon from any position of power!

Because America doesn't need to be the next Trump bankruptcy. We have better things to do with our hard-earned money. This is serious coin that could be going toward infrastructure, the environment, the poor, health care, and science R&D.

No democracy can exist without an informed electorate. Without a truly free and independent press, and without thorough investigative journalism, there can be no informed electorate and therefore no democracy. Freedom of speech and of the press is key to our own survival as a democracy and therefore we must do ALL we can to maintain our free press.
