There are two high pressure gas pipelines proposed for construction that will impact Pinelands residents and natural resources. Both proposed pipelines violate the rules that protect the Pinelands National Reserve, a state and federally protected region in New Jersey. The state Pinelands Commission is a 15-member independent public body responsible for enforcing the rules that protect the Pinelands. They will vote in early 2017 on whether or not to approve the first of these pipelines, the South Jersey Gas pipeline, which will go through Cumberland, Cape May and Atlantic Counties. The second pipeline, to be constructed by New Jersey Natural Gas, goes from Chesterfield (Burlington County) to Manchester (Ocean County) and will also come up for a vote before the Pinelands Commission. Each county in the Pinelands has a representative on the Pinelands Commission appointed by that county’s Freeholder Board. Cumberland County’s representative is Commissioner Jane Jannarone. Tell the Cumberland County Freeholders that Jane Jannarone should stand up for the county and vote NO on both pipelines. They violate the rules that protect the Pine Barrens, they threaten the health and safety of its residents, and Cumberland County residents will pay for the pipelines' costs without ever being able to use the gas to power their homes. Please sign by February 8 to maximize impact.

Donald Trump has many business interests in other countries. Any gifts to his businesses or his family could violate the emoluments clause in the constitution. All American citizens should feel that the President of the United States must be above suspicion in any actions he takes on behalf of this country.

I am one of many of thousands of great fathers who have foreseen the ugly battle to fight for custody of their own DNA child. It is unfair and biased for the states to give full custody to the mother and not to the father because parental alienation is a thing. It is not just women who are abused by this; most custody cases are fathers being alienated and forced to go weeks, months, and years without seeing their children because they have to fight for the right to their child, which discriminates against male rights. Sign this petition to push for a movement in the White House, and state legislators to have it set in stone that a mother and father automatically have 50/50 custody of their own DNA child at birth.

Defending our country's social contract of a safety net for all Americans from an extremist Congress and Senate. Basic healthcare is a human right! Now this right is being ignored. Seems like profit -driven ideologies are hell bent on taking away our rights including to affordable healthcare.

There are two high pressure gas pipelines proposed for construction that will impact Pinelands residents and natural resources. Both proposed pipelines violate the rules that protect the Pinelands National Reserve, a state and federally protected region in New Jersey. Approximately 2/3 of Burlington County is located within the Pinelands National Reserve. The state Pinelands Commission is a 15-member independent public body responsible for enforcing the rules that protect the Pinelands. They will vote in early 2017 on whether or not to approve the first of these pipelines, the South Jersey Gas pipeline, which will go through Cumberland, Cape May and Atlantic Counties.

Each county in the Pinelands has a representative on the Pinelands Commission appointed by that county’s Freeholder Board. Burlington County’s representative is Chair of the Commission, Sean Earlen. Tell the Burlington County Freeholders that Sean Earlen should stand up for the county and vote NO on both pipelines. They violate the rules that protect the Pine Barrens and, they threaten the health and safety of its residents, and Burlington County residents will pay for the pipelines' costs without ever being able to use the gas for powering their homes.

Repealing the ACA would be a disaster for 486,000 Kentuckians who would lose their health care and would also put rural hospitals at real risk of closure. These hospitals depend on Medicaid expansion to cover the cost of care to poorer, previously uninsured patients--losing coverage could run them out of business, and cost thousands of jobs in the community.

This is the most important action we are asking you to take since we launched this Campaign. In December agencies took steps to protect America’s most visited wilderness by denying two mining leases and starting a process that could grant long-term protection by putting areas around the Boundary Waters off-limits to sulfide-ore copper mining. Today is the first day of an environmental review of the Boundary Waters watershed -- a review meant to identify what makes the Boundary Waters so unique, so clean, and so sensitive to pollution. The review will ultimately help determine whether the Boundary Waters is the wrong place for America’s most toxic industry: sulfide-ore copper mining. The Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness is America's most popular wilderness area. Covering over one million acres, with more than 1,000 pristine lakes and 1,200 miles of rivers and streams, the Boundary Waters offers unmatched fishing, hunting, and other public lands wilderness recreational opportunities for all Americans to enjoy. The Boundary Waters is also an integral part of an $850 million-dollar per year outdoor recreation economy in Northeastern Minnesota. It is our crown jewel and is visited by hundreds of thousands of people annually. The Boundary Waters is priceless, irreplaceable and should not be put at risk of perpetual pollution from the most toxic industry in America. Thank you and please spread the word to your friends, families and networks so as many people as possible take action during this critical window for public input.

I am from Eastern Kentucky and see firsthand the devastation of not having healthcare does to communities and families.

At 12:01pm, the moment Donald Trump is sworn in as President of the United States, the Commanding General of the D.C. National Guard--Maj. General Errol R. Schwartz, will be relieved of his command. There is no excuse for this action. Presidential appointees are not all required to resign at the moment of transition, especially not ones in the midst of critical duties. This is spiteful, unnecessary, uninformed, and wrong.

The Saudi war in Yemen has caused a humanitarian crisis of epic proportions, [1] with over 10,000 killed and 80% of the population in need of humanitarian assistance, including 14 million people who can't afford adequate food for their families. The U.S. has assisted Saudi Arabia's reckless airstrikes that frequently hit unlawful civilian targets. [2] These attacks have placed U.S. personnel at legal risk of aiding and abetting possible war crimes. [3] Following a Saudi airstrike on a funeral procession that killed 155 people, [4] the U.S. decided to withhold the sale of precision-guided munitions but continue refueling Saudi aircraft. [5] This sent a mixed signal and did not protect civilian lives. If we continue to refuel the Saudi aircraft that bomb civilians, our condemnation of those Saudi airstrikes will become cruel hypocrisy. Reps. Ted Lieu [D-CA] and John Conyers [D-MI] are circulating a letter to President Obama urging him to stop the refueling of Saudi warplanes that are bombing civilians in Yemen. Urge your Representative to sign the Lieu-Conyers letter by signing our petition.

“The only one that cares about my tax returns are the reporters,” Trump said at a press conference this week. “I won.” When pressed further, he said, “I don’t think they care at all. I think you [the press] care.” Of course Donald Trump is wrong, and plenty of polls show that high percentages of both Democrats and Republicans want to see his tax returns. But polls are conducted with selected samples of the population. Let's demonstrate with signatures the sheer number of people who want to see Donald Trump's tax returns.

I believe it is the responsibility of our government to properly vet any individual to whom they entrust the highest decision making office in our nation. Yet, a highly dubious 'note' from a part-time gastroenterologist, complete with anomalies, typos, and mistakes, served as the requisite health clearance for Trump. Why is it that anyone wanting to join the military must be subjected to comprehensive health review, but we ignore this protocol for the individual who commands this military? There have been numerous allegations of mental issues in the PEOTUS (namely a bi-polar disorder) that could deeply compromise his decision making ability. The American people deserve a proper health clearance, from a proper, objective professional before entrusting the decisions of a nation to PEOTUS.
