The Supreme Court and the people of the United States have chosen to protect a woman's right to make reproductive choices about her own body, including obtaining safe and affordable abortion. It may not be an optimal choice, but it is her choice, and only hers to make. H.R.7 - No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion and Abortion Insurance Full Disclosure Act of 2017 deliberately prohibits a woman's ability to exercise her right safely and affdordably. This is a politically motivated bill which intentionally undermines safe access to abortion and health care by poor and middle class women, and is a clear example of gender discrimination. Women's rights are human rights and this bill violates both, and should not be passed.

Crescent Elementary should not be shut down. Crescent is NOT a failing school. Though Crescent is part of the Council Bluffs Community School District, it is an independent township and should be considered with exceptional treatment. Closure could hinder economic growth in our small town, as the school is a huge incentive for new families to move and stay in Crescent. It's been a part of our town's identity since 1901. The superintendent intends to have former Crescent students bused, as far as 7 miles, to influx Lewis and Clark Elementary's student body with 44% more students. The school board should consider finding other options to help improve enrollment to meet their acceptable attendance standards, as this is the reason they are voting to shutter the doors. The Iowa Department of Education's School Report Card rated Crescent as "Commendable". The school building had a complete renovation in 2007. Crescent IS an outstanding school, a National Blue Ribbon Award winner and should remain open.

Americans deserve, and largely have, elections systems that are safe & accurate. There’s always room for improvement -- and we’re working to ensure that all states implement reforms ensuring the fairness and accessibility of the franchise -- but it doesn’t help to spread lies that undermine confidence in our democracy and pave the way for voter suppression. That’s why it’s so alarming that, according to the New York Times, President Trump “asserted that between three million and five million unauthorized immigrants voted for Mrs. Clinton” at a meeting with Congressional leaders. The Times continues, “Voting officials across the country have said there is virtually no evidence of people voting illegally, and certainly not millions of them.” It’s more than just “alternative facts” -- there are no facts at all that support what President Trump is saying. As President, Trump should be working to improve our elections systems -- not telling lies that undermine confidence in them. And this lie should worry you more than most: because lawmakers have invoked the myths Trump is pushing to justify a wave of voter suppression laws in states across the nation. With Trump now threatening to use his presidency to crack down on this -- we could soon see nationwide voter suppression efforts. Between this and his nomination of lifelong voting rights foe Jeff Sessions as Attorney General, we must stand vigilant against any attempts by the Trump Administration to limit our right to vote. We expect and demand better from our leaders at the top. That’s why it’s so important to call out Donald Trump’s election lies for what they are. Please add your name and tell President Trump to stop lying about our elections, and give up his witch hunt after voters.

In a time when so many Americans are finding it more and more difficult just to make ends meet, the last thing we need in New Hampshire are right to work laws designed to silence our voices on the job, and make it harder to keep the lights on. But that’s exactly what extremist Republicans in our state along with corporate lobbyists and special interest groups are trying to do. This dangerous legislation will cut our wages and benefits and making our workplaces less safe. Sign the petition now to tell governor-elect Chris Sununu and state legislators that right to work is wrong for New Hampshire.

I am starting this petition to ensure the citizens of the United States of America have a way to access information they can rely on to be objectively accurate and impartial, without taking on the arduous task of sifting through dozens of "fake news" sites to try and piece together what may or may not be true, and which may inadvertently play into ones confirmation bias. It is an unfair burden, and puts up roadblocks to democracy. Propaganda is not news. We need to be able to easily differentiate between the two.

He does not represent the views and values of the community he has been charged with serving, nor does he represent the values of an effective elected official. His attitude and opinions are universally unacceptable in today's world.

This is a non-partisan issue of political ethics. Who could possibly be against this legislation? Every American wants their President working entirely for the benefit of the American People - without any potential conflict of interest. We do not know if this is currently the case. Let's close this loophole for this and all future presidents.

I'm tired of Americans struggling everyday while our representatives become millionaires.

I am concerned about his global business connections, including those in Russia, which impact all our lives. Trump's tax returns can shed light.

Donald Trump is trying to ram through approval of the Dakota Access Pipeline. The $3.8 billion Dakota Access Pipeline will contaminate the Standing Rock Sioux's water and will constitute yet another attack on their sovereignty and way of life. This is just the first of many actions Trump and the GOP plan to take to use infrastructure projects to destroy the lives of people of color. Today he’ll ram this pipeline through the Sioux community, tomorrow he will push through a lung-choking oil refinery in a Black neighborhood. But this fight is far from over. The bureaucrats of the Army Corp of Engineers - the agency overseeing the pipeline construction - still have a lot of power to delay and block this project. We need to call on staff within Army Corp of Engineers to oppose Trump by throwing sand in the gears of this destructive project. With their help we can stall this out.

President Donald Trump has refused to release his tax returns ever since he entered the presidential race, breaking decades of bipartisan precedent. Now, Trump's top advisors say he'll never release them, claiming that “we litigated this all through the election." So instead, public interest watchdogs are doing some litigating of their own. They're suing President Trump for violating the Constitution's ban on elected officials taking money from foreign governments, and demanding to see his tax returns as part of the discovery process. We deserve a clear picture of President Trump’s background, experience, and business interests -- and we have a right to know about any potential conflicts of interest. Without a full accounting of Trump's assets, there's no way to know the extent of his personal foreign entanglements, or if he is using the presidency to enrich his own wealth. Trump says he can’t release his returns because the IRS is currently auditing them -- but he didn’t have a problem doing that when his private business interests were at stake. And the commissioner of the IRS gave him the go-ahead too, saying “if you’re being audited, and you want to... share that information with your returns, you can do that.” We can't let Trump's "alternative facts" deny us our right to transparency. He wants to conduct the people's business from the White House, so we deserve to know how he's conducted his private business too. Donald Trump must release his tax returns to the American people.
