  • Congress: Stop the Saudi Arms Deal. Stop the Famine in Yemen.
    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.

  • Student debt dischargability
    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.

  • Remove Devin Nunes from the House Intelligence Committee
    The Chairman of this committee is clearly showing bias and partisanship. This investigation involves the current administration and their involvement in tampering with our presidential election. It is imperative that the facts be uncovered if we have a foreign government potentially involved in influencing our elections and one of the candidates is colluding with a foreign government. Everyone should be greatly alarmed. Nunes has jeopardized the integrity of this committee and he has potentially tainted the outcome. He needs to be removed from the committee immediately.

  • Demand Representative Nunes step down as Intel Committee Chair!
    Devon Nunes has compromised an ongoing investigation by the Intelligence Committee; intentionally did not reveal his unverified information, implicating the Obama administration of wrongdoing. In fact, any incidental information was obtained legally via a Fisa warrant!

  • Secretary Elaine Chao: Stop Funding Major Job Loss!
    The Department of Transportation must stop funding self-driving cars, a technology that the DOT and Uber are spearheading, risking the jobs of almost 10 million people. We’re calling on Secretary Elaine Chao to end taxpayer-subsidized job loss and keep Uber from deleting drivers. Uber has been under fire recently for leaked footage of CEO Travis Kalanick’s gross behavior towards one of his company’s drivers, telling him that drivers “don’t like to take responsibility” for the problems they face working for Uber, plus several allegations of a hostile and sexist work environment by current and former employees. This is nothing new for Uber -- the company has profited from the exploitation of its workers for years. Since Uber drivers are classified as independent contractors, they don’t have access to full benefits and health insurance. While Uber claims its drivers get to “be their own boss,”they are victims of constantly changing rates, which only keep getting lower and lower. This means poverty wages for the drivers Uber relies on. Adding insult to injury, the Department of Transportation is funding research for self-driving cars, which Uber plans to use so they can get rid of drivers to increase their profits. While the company claims that driverless cars will be cheaper for riders, they haven’t said anything about how self-driving cars will impact the lives of their own drivers. The Department of Transportation should not be funding Silicon Valley billionaires so they can line their pockets even more. DOT must stop funding a technology that will leave over 300,000 Uber drivers unemployed.

  • Safety on Highway M in Barnhart
    UPDATE: This Petition was started a few years ago after a fatal accident on Highway M in Barnhart, Missouri. That particular accident involved a mother of a student killed after dropping her son off for the day. At that time, the petition was setup, news channels were contacted and many communications were had over the following months with MoDot official, Judy Wagner. The request was submitted to Install traffic lights at Hwy M /St Lukes Church Rd and Hwy M / Moss Hollow Road AND DENIED AT THE TIME WITH MANY REASONS WHY THEY WOULD NOT DO THIS, the main reason given was that the install of traffic lights would cost too much at around $1 million. NOW THE J-TURN project is estimated to cost $1 million. Also stated that stop lights do not work. ROCKPORT School has a stoplight in front of their school as do many other emergency houses in the area that just have flashing lights during the day and become operational during PRIME HOURS needed such as morning and evening rush hours for school and those leaving for and coming home from work. The emergency houses would also have access to have the lights operate when they are in need to leave for emergencies. There are First Responder Houses (Antonia Fire Protection District and Rock Township Ambulance District House 4) as well as Antonia Middle School at those intersections. This results in a large number of school buses and families with children being forced to pull out onto Hwy M, crossing multiple lanes of traffic. These intersections absent of traffic lights with the factor of high speeds by drivers has proven to be hazardous AND CONTINUES TO BE HAZARDOUS TWO YEARS LATER WITH NO CHANGES BY LEGISLATURE AND MODOT. The amount of accidents due to high-speed and excessive traffic on Hwy M is becoming more frequent at both of these intersections, resulting in fatalities and injuries. First Responders were involved while attempting to respond to a call, resulting in injuries and delay for those needing the fire department. There are a number of families in both of these areas that send their children on school buses that are given no other option than to merge across a four-lane highway to transport the children to and from school. At Moss Hollow and Highway M, the traffic coming and going has increased now that the new Estates at Moss Hollow is complete and close to 100 new families moved into the area. (ADDING MINIMUM 100 NEW DRIVERS DAILY). There are MANY kids approaching the driving age so new drivers will be embarking on those intersections as well. Let's take safety into consideration and push Jefferson County to install traffic lights and NOT the proposed J turns AT BOTH INTERSECTIONS for the residents of Barnhart AND SLOW DOWN THE SPEED LIMIT IN A SCHOOL ZONE. As of June 2019 I was informed by Judy Wagner that the proposed construction review was being added to the “ Statewide Transportation Improvement Plan for review.” She informed me that in December 2019 they had met with families in Williamsburg to address this issue and I wa stood other affected subdivisions, including Fountains would be contacted in Spring 2020 to have community forum... I can only assume due to COVID that didn’t happen. CONSIDERATION NEEDS TO BE TAKEN FOR ADDITIONAL RESIDENTS AT MOSS HOLLOW AND THE CONTINUED POSSIBILITY OF GROWTH ON THE ANTONIA CAMPUS, FUTURE ADDITION OF NEW ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, INCREASING TRAFFIC ON ST LUKES CHURCH ROAD SIGNIFICANTLY SO THIS WARRANTS MAKING CHANGES TO INTERSECTIONS AND LOWERING SPEEDS ALONG HIGHWAY M FOR THE SAFETY OF EVERYONE AND OUR CHILDREN. J turns will greatly affect emergency crews, residents and school bus transportation. THIS PETITION WILL ONCE AGAIN BE SHARED WHEN SIGNED AFTER A FEW WEEKS IN HOPES OF EXPRESSING CONCERN AS A COMMUNITY AND GETTING SOMETHING DONE SOONER THAN TWO YEARS FROM NOW. I HAVE UPDATED TO INCLUDE NEW MODOT AND COMMITTEE CONTACTS.

  • President Olivarez: Instate Aquinas a Sanctuary Campus
    The threat of ending the DACA program will put 700,00-800,000 young people across the country at risk for deportation. Several threatened include students from our own student body at Aquinas College. Our school, with its Dominican traditions, should stand with our community and work to provide a safe space where all students can focus on their academics instead of worrying about their families and immigration status.

  • Remove the Globe and the National Enquirer from Walmart Stores in the U.S.
    Seeing fake news titles and descriptions at the grocery checkout reinforces what the more gullible may already think and reinforces their brainwashing. These “magazines” are nothing more than Brietbart or Fox News or worse at the checkout. When I get to the checkout stand I do not want to be angered by these vile rags. Does my grocer want an angry customer at the checkout or a happy customer. These lies need to go.
