Hello , We all have little elementary kids that go to Jenks Elementary. We have moved to this community with large hopes of sending all our kids to Jenks and having a Katy ISD bus for transportation. If the kids have to walk 0.5m, it is not safe for them , us, or the Katy ISD, due to various reasons, such as inclement weather or trespassers. Please consider having a bus stop at 3601 Glenwick Pass Lane, Katy, TX

Enterprise, the largest rental car company in the United States, is a funder and member of ALEC -- the shadowy corporate lobbying group that is weakening our democracy while pretending to be a charity. ALEC works behind closed doors to help big corporations like Exxon Mobil, Comcast, Pfizer, & Koch Industries secretly lobby politicians for favorable treatment. Ordinary voters and everyday Americans’ voices are being shut out of the process; whether it's big oil or big tobacco, corporations should not be able to get a tax write-off for funding a lobbying organization that lets corporations have the same say on “model” bills as lawmakers. We all pay the price with more pollution, lower wages, higher medical bills, and cuts to public schools when ALEC’s corporate-backed “model bills” undermine environmental protections, access to healthcare, workers’ rights, and public education funding. It’s a system that undermines our democracy, putting wealthy special interests above the American people. It’s surprising that Enterprise is funding ALEC, given that over 100 major companies like Google, Coca-Cola, Facebook, General Motors, Expedia, and Ford Motor Company have all left ALEC in recent years, due to its extreme agenda and the fact that ALEC is committing tax fraud as it works as a lobbying group but is registered as charity. That means corporations like Enterprise can get a tax write-off for their funding to ALEC. Our democracy should belong to all of us, not just wealthy special interests at ALEC. That’s why Enterprise needs to join over 100 other major companies and stop funding ALEC’s dangerous corporate-funded political agenda and anti-democratic activities.

MoveOn polls to decide who we endorse should include all candidates on enough state ballots to win. If we speak with one voice, we will be heard.

Enterprise, the largest car rental company in the world, was recently revealed by the Center for Media and Democracy and the Guardian to be a dues-paying member of the American Legislative Exchange Council. ALEC helps right-wing lawmakers fulfill corporate wishlists on a variety of topics that undermine American health and safety – including spreading climate change denial and blocking climate solutions. Enterprise makes “green” commitments to plant trees and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in public but funds ALEC in private. Enterprise must cut ties with ALEC immediately.

*UPDATE: The company’s “solution” in the face of overwhelming public outcry is to offer more coupons. But it has not lowered the price ONE CENT. So keep the pressure up!* Millions of children and adults in the U.S. are at risk of fatal allergic reactions from common occurrences like getting stung by a bee or accidentally consuming peanuts. A pocket-sized medical device called an EpiPen can be a literal life-saver for these folks. But Mylan — the multinational pharmaceutical company that makes the EpiPen — has been steadily jacking up the price. - In 2007, the wholesale price on an EpiPen in the U.S. was $57. - Today, just nine years later, it’s over $300. - Even though each EpiPen contains only a few dollars’ worth of medicine. - Even though a two-pack is just $85 in France. - And even though Mylan, which has a near monopoly in the U.S., has seen its profits from the EpiPen alone skyrocket to $1.2 billion a year. Now, many people who could actually die without an EpiPen can’t afford one! Tell Mylan CEO Heather Bresch to immediately reduce the price of this life-and-death treatment that so many people depend on.

Mifflin County Commissioner Lisa Nancollas (Republican) was caught posting bigoted Facebook posts on her campaign site. She has since taken them down, but they are available on news sites, including her hometown paper (http://lewistownsentinel.com/page/content.detail/id/588669/Facebook-post-stirs-controversy.html?nav=5010). She still has anti-Islam posts on her personal Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/mifflincountyteaparty?ref=br_rs). The first post was a meme — an image, often with text, meant to be spread widely through the internet — of a mosque with a red “no” symbol covering it. It also said “No Islam Allowed.” The commissioner followed the post with a message for anyone following her page. “If you don’t like what I post on my wall then don’t look at my wall,” the second post said. “Also, I believe in the Christian God. I don’t believe in Islam, sharia law nor do I believe in Allah.” She said people “are only allowed in the kingdom of God if they accept God as their savior not Allah,” in a third post. She has since deleted the meme but has continued posting about Islam.

I go to PG-13 movies with my children and previews of horror movies cause them to cover their eyes, ears, and cower in fear but they cannot escape the spooky sights and sounds being thrown at them!

During a recent radio interview, Senator Toomey claimed that Hillary Clinton poses a greater threat to the U.S. than Donald Trump. As a veteran who served for years in military intelligence, I know Senator Toomey is wrong. Donald Trump is more dangerous for our national security than any nominee in the history of the nation, regardless of party affiliation. Throughout this campaign, Donald Trump has shown again and again that he is irrational, impulsive, and utterly unqualified to be President. On the use of nuclear weapons he has said “we need unpredictability.” He won’t commit to protecting our NATO allies, has asked Russia to conduct cyber attacks against the United States, and has even claimed that President Obama is "the founder of ISIS." These are just a few of the reasons that former Governor Tom Ridge and 49 Republican security experts wrote a letter warning that Trump "would be the most reckless President in American history.” Join me in telling Senator Toomey that he needs to listen to the people of Pennsylvania--veterans and military families alike--and help keep our country safe by clearly stating he does not support Donald Trump.

because my people are opressed and tired and we want to live in longhouses and teepee's and mudhuts again. we want our old way of life back. if the Amish are aloud to live the way they live why cant we.

UPDATE: The California legislature just passed SB 32 and AB 197. It's a huge victory, but our work is not done. *Sign the petition and urge legislators in the Assembly and the Senate to pass SB 1383. Short-lived climate super pollutants like methane pose a serious risk to the health and prosperity of all Californians, and the passage of SB 1383 is crucial to protecting our clean air for future generations. ### California has a long history of leadership and strong legislative action when it comes to protecting the state’s air quality and fighting climate change. From the Clean Air Act of 1970, to the Global Warming Solutions Act (AB 32) of 2006, California’s track record is second to none. With only two weeks left in California’s legislative session, there is an opportunity to extend California’s landmark climate legislation, AB 32, which requires greenhouse gas emissions to be reduced to 1990 levels by the year 2020. Big Oil has poured millions of dollars into attempts to weaken our clean air laws. The oil companies are focused on profits instead of our health and climate and are unrelenting in their efforts to weaken these crucial targets. By taking action now, we can stand up to the oil companies and strengthen our clean air laws. If passed, SB 32 and AB 197 would improve upon AB 32 by further reducing greenhouse gas emissions to 40% below 1990 levels by 2030, while strengthening California’s legislative authority and ensuring transparency and accountability. Legislators will also consider SB 1383, which works to reduce super-pollutants like black carbon, methane, and fluorinated gases. These super-pollutants threaten our climate, clean air, and our health. It’s largely low-income people of color who suffer the health consequences. It’s not right, and it’s time to take a stand against this injustice. We cannot let the oil companies defeat these important measures to strengthen our clean air laws because the facts show our clean air policies are working. We’ve cut toxic pollution, improved kids’ health, and created 500,000 clean energy jobs in California. Stand up to the oil companies and strengthen California’s clean air laws. Tell Governor Brown and legislators to continue standing strong against the oil companies.
