SB 1142 will allow the state to arrest and prosecute anyone involved in a protest that has any vandalism, whether that person was involved, whether the offender was part of the protest, an onlooker, or part of the opposition. Clearly it a response to the false notion that protesters are paid troublemakers, not responsible citizens. AB 1142 is not about preventing vandalism; it's about preventing protests.

It is the duty and honor of every citizen, to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America.

Arizona SB 1142 will allow law enforcement to seize the assets of anyone who plans or participates in a protest that disturbs the public peace or results in any property damage. The intent of the bill is to deny citizens of their freedom of speech and stop all protests in Arizona. We must stop this bill before it is signed. Otherwise, other states already lined up with prepared legislation will enact more laws prohibiting this fundamental American right.

As an immigrant and a naturalized citizen I am concerned that we need to protect those families live in our Town, contribute to our town, conduct themselves in a lawful way, and have become part of the fabric of Somers, but do not have the status of resident or citizen. Additionally, I want to preempt the intolerance that is increasingly spreading throughout our nation as a result of the extreme politics we are all subject too. The petition is asking out Town leaders to take a moral stand against these actions while obeying the law of the land.

Donald Trump just announced his new Muslim ban. And it's only slightly different from the last one. People from six majority-Muslim countries are being blocked from getting visas to the United States, and the refugee program is still being suspended. The chaos that ensued at borders when the initial ban was implemented showed a complete breakdown of civil liberties and common human decency. People were denied access to their legal counsel, mothers were separated from their infant children, and people were kept at the airport for dozens of hours without access to any food or facilities. In addition to people vigilantly opposing the Muslim ban in the courts and in the streets, Congress has the ability to restore basic decency and undermine Trump's new Muslim ban. I, along with several of my colleagues, just introduced legislation that seeks to reverse some of the more heinous acts happening at our borders due to Trump’s policies. The legislation would guarantee access to legal counsel, require access to an attorney before they can relinquish their legal status, and have basic needs met while being held (like being able to use the restroom). There is similar legislation in the Senate that is being pushed by Sen. Harris. It is time for those of us in Congress to affirm the civil liberties we hold dear and restore common human decency by supporting this bill.

I was a popular educator who always fought for the underdog. Being gay gave me first-hand experience of this kind of hate. It has to stop.

Protect transgender youth NOW.

Rep. Keith Ellison has introduced bills attempting to ban this pesticide multiple times. He needs our support. I'm personally affected by this because my daughter was born with an abdominal wall defect where this chemical is heavily used. I want to prevent, if we can, other families from suffering.

I do not think any president should be allowed to launch a nuclear first strike with only the approval of the Secretary of Defense. I think at least a small, impartial group should have authority to block that decision. I also think someone like President Trump is likely to use this option, as he is too impulsive, and its consequences would be nothing short of disastrous for everyone on the planet.

Yes, my girlfriend found out I was infaithful to her and used the Courts to issue a Domestic Violence Restraining Order against me, for disturbing her peace. The Order takes away the freedom of men, without the use of their Constitutional Rights, they take a real Batterer, like Oj Simpson, who terrorized hios wife Nicole, and then murdered her , Then on National Television, got off on the charges when everyone knew he was guilty .The Government vowed to never let this happen again. Our Government via Joe Biden, enacted the WAWA 1994, that is the best protection a woman could ever want; unfortunately it strips all rights of men who may just have an argument with their wife , she can run down, to the family Court fill an affidavit, DV109, 100, 120, 110, 130 the CLETS form, these forms present a primae facie Case to the Court( if unopposed it would prevail on the allegations of abuse), whetheer they are true or not. The fact that a Woman goes through the trouble of filling out the forms, is sufficient for these Courts to implement the intent of the Act , which is to prevent a battered woman from returning to continuuing abuse. All men have Domocles Sword hanging over their head, with these disparate laws, referred to in California Family Code 6200 et, seq. Section 6320 are the elements of this section ranging from disturbing the peace of another, verbal abuse, harassment and then ranging up to Physical Battering and Rape of the victim. The Courts and our Representatives have conveniently, put all these separate categories in to one section for ease of conviction of not a real batterer, but it could be a normal fight between a husband and wife, anbd the wife if she knows what to do , can get more than even with her husband for disturbing her peace. The Courts required to enforce the intention of the DVPA, even if sacrifices the freedom of all men, the motto is better a man sacrifificed than woman hurt. Most of this bombast is about future abuse, that might happen again, and the Courts are mandated to searate the parties 1-10 years, with a restraining order agaisnt the man( they really FEIGN that it is for the protection of men, that is bolderdash. IT PROTECTS WOMEN ONLY You have to distinguish between the Civil DVRO and the Criminal DVRO, they are basically the same except the Criminal guy (with criminal procedure rights) beats his wife brutally and gets the same DVRO as the Civil guy, who may have just lost a verbal argument to his wrathful wife who looks for vindication form the Courts who are happy to pass out DVROs against men,(without criminal procedure rights) its their legislative order and mandate that they do so. The real fabrications are in the statistics they cite about DV, they are as Trump states, alternative facts. The Act is a money make for the Government, both Federal and State , benefits, therapy groups, and if was put on NASDAQ, it would be a winning investment for the investor. The take home message is not that Domestic Violence should not be stopped, because it should but the way the law is written is void for vagueness, overbroad, and violates the over breadth doctrine of the Constitution, it needs to be re written to conform to the Constitution of the United States and the Human Rights Commision of 1948. It is not for the greater good as some believe( you cannot suspend a man criminal procedure and make it Civil for ease of conviction of the accused, and further the sacrifice of one innocent man and his freedom so a woman can be saved is not equal protection under the 14 th amendment. Please rewrite the VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMAN ACT 2013, AND THE CALIFORNIA DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ACT SO THAT MEN ARE PROTECTED FULLY COMPLETELY AND CONSTITUIONALLY UNDER THE LAW . Not utilizing the intent of preventing future abuse as Standard for issuing a DVRO. PLEASE DO NOT EXTEND THE VAWA AFTER IT EXPIRES IN 2018, REWRITE THIS ACT AND THE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ACT, SO THAT PEOPLE DO NOT PROFIT FROM IT, SO THAT IT PROTECTS WOMEN WITHOUT SACRIFICING INNOCENT MEN. LONG LIVE THE INTENT OF THE FOUNDING FATHERS AS IT APPLIES TO THIS ISSUE.

As a teacher and parent, I have seen firsthand the power of respecting all students and their chosen identities. Preserve their fundamental rights to use the appropriate bathroom facilities. Limiting this will only pave the way for further denial of human rights.
