End Cholera & Aid Elections in Haiti; Protect Haitians in USOn October 20, 27 Florida-based organizations and 24 other prominent Floridians wrote to Hillary Clinton asking her to articulate her positions on issues of concern to the Haitian American community, noting that "Hurricane Matthew devastated Haiti, affecting two million Haitians; stranding hundreds of thousands; killing at least 1,000; obliterating tens of thousands of homes; destroying and inundating towns, livestock, crops, and livelihoods; and causing a surge in cholera cases." [1] The letter urges U.S. leadership to eradicate Haiti’s cholera epidemic - brought to Haiti by the UN - and to compensate its victims; to re-designate Haiti for Temporary Protected Status and expand the Haitian Family Reunification Program to protect and support Haitian-Americans in the wake of Hurricane Matthew; and to support Haitian efforts to ensure a credible electoral process. Urge your Representative and Senators to support these reforms of U.S. policy towards Haiti by signing our petition.

Expand Opportunity For A Vibrant Public Post OfficeThe infrastructure of the post office is in great decline. The post office has been downsized for at least the last two decades. There is no need to continue this policy as the post office has no true financial crisis. It is a result of bad legislation. The solution is simple create post office friendly legislation and expand the post office.2,767 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Jerry Stidman

Stop the AEE (PREPA) monopoly in Puerto Rico!For far too long there have been too many problems with the AEE. The most recent crisis, an island-wide blackout lasting a FULL week for many. In a TRUE democracy, we should have the choice between various companies competing to deliver LOWER rates, modern technology, real customer service and better salaries for their employees. The goal of this petition is to change our present situation: a virtual monopoly of the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA - AEE). We need the freedom to choose who provides the services we want at the rates we choose. Puerto Rico deserves only the best. Everyone who does sign this petition remember our goal is to provide solutions to lower your energy bill rates. You may not agree with healthy competition, however if you agree with the fact that the government of Puerto Rico should find various ways to implement LOWER RATES for our energy bill, you should definitely sign this petition.357 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Lana Slobodsky

Putting the brakes on clean vehicles in California? No way!The impacts of climate change are now playing out in California in real time: Record drought. Intense wildfires engulfing numerous areas of the state. More than 66 million dead trees in the southern Sierra Nevada. The single largest source of the pollution causing climate change in California? The gas-powered cars, trucks and buses that we drive every day. Yet powerful forces in the auto and petroleum industries are working overtime to keep us addicted to dirty fossil fuels. And their pressure is intensifying ahead of a critical decision about meeting California’s game-changing electric vehicle goal. Transitioning to clean electric vehicles means giving Californians a healthier planet, cleaner air to breathe and savings the pump. That’s why California established a pivotal goal to put 1.5 million electric vehicles on the road by 2025. Yet special interests are working relentlessly to put the brakes on California’s electric vehicle goal – just as we need to accelerate to a clean vehicle future. The Air Resources Board will decide the future of this electric vehicle goal this fall. Leaders at the Air Resources Board need to hear that Californians want them to resist pressure from special interests and accelerate the growth of clean vehicles. By upholding and meeting this goal, California can charge ahead to a cleaner, healthier future for all Californians. Tell the Air Resources Board that California should stay in the driver’s seat of the clean vehicle revolution!216 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Environment California Research & Policy Center
