  • Nevada PUC: Grandfather Original Solar Customers!
    In December, 2015, the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada came between 32,000 rooftop solar customers and their contracts with their power provider, and impacted economically favorable power rates that had previously been agreed upon. These solar customers invested in personal solar energy systems, acting in good faith based upon promises from the state. These promises were changed and undermined much to the detriment of the utility's customers. Through NV Energy's recent advice filing, the PUC now has the opportunity to remedy their decision that has devalued the investments made by tens of thousands of Nevada solar customers. Sign our petition and tell the PUC you want Nevada's original solar customers grandfathered under their original, contracted rates.

  • MoveOn.org, stop trying to raise funds off of the #NoDAPL Standing Rock blockade
    For months thousands of indigenous people and allies have been camped out in North Dakota putting their bodies on the line to stop construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline. Now that the struggle has gained national and international attention, MoveOn.org is circulating fundraising e-mails along with a petition to investigate the security firms that have been hired to attack peaceful protectors of water and land. When organizations like MoveOn.org use movement moments like this to seek donations, that pulls donations and resources away from the front line and indigenous communities that are putting their bodies on the line. It's time for MoveOn to stop profiting off other movement's struggles!

  • Legalize backyard chickens in the city of Wentzville, MO
    Many cities across the country and our own state have changed local laws and ordinances to allow for the raising of a small flock of hens. It is time for Wentzville, MO to join this movement. With proper education and a little research it is very easy to raise chickens in an urban setting without fear of noise, smell or disease. At the same time you can provide your family with a very healthy choice in home grown eggs. This will relieve the pressure on factory farming, while giving residents the right to provide a much more humane, and safe environment for backyard chickens.Out of the 90 municipalities in St. Louis County alone 81 of them allow backyard chickens. Let's join cities like Lake St. Louis, Chesterfeild, Kirkwood, Ballwin and many more to put food production into the hands of city resident

  • @JerryMoran: Oppose the Saudi arms deal!
    On August 8, the Obama administration notified Congress [1] of intent to sell $1.15 billion of weapons to Saudi Arabia, including tanks that would replace tanks destroyed in Saudi Arabia's war against Houthi rebels in Yemen. We urge Senator Jerry Moran to oppose this deal and to co-sponsor a resolution of disapproval against it. Past Congressional concerns about Saudi Arabia's war in Yemen have not been addressed. In October, Members of Congress wrote to the Administration [2] urging greater efforts to avoid civilian casualties in Yemen and achieve a diplomatic solution to the conflict. In June, 204 Members of the House, including 40 Republicans and all but 16 Democrats, voted to block the transfer of cluster bombs to Saudi Arabia after reports of their use in civilian areas in Yemen. [3] Yet, since the proposed arms deal was announced, a Saudi airstrike on a school in Yemen killed 10 children [4] – some as young as 6-years-old – and a Saudi airstrike on an MSF hospital in Yemen killed 11 people. [5] On August 30, 64 Members of the House signed a letter urging that the Saudi arms deal be delayed so that Congress can fully consider it. [6] Urge Senator Moran to cosponsor legislation to oppose the Saudi arms deal by signing our petition.

  • Put Main Street First. Tax Wall Street Trades!
    Computerized “flash-trading” is one trick hedge funders use to manipulate the market for their sole benefit. Essentially, they use a computer program to execute millions of trades in a short period of time – sometimes holding an “investment” for a matter of microseconds. These trades produce nothing of value while destabilizing the market, driving up costs for pension funds and putting everyone else’s investments at risk – yet, it gets a small group of traders very rich. I’ve proposed to tax each stock trade at a modest 0.03% – that’s 3 cents for every $100 in trades! That would be a great thing for America. The tax would drive out traders that created market instability and lead to the “flash crash.” It would raise $40 billion a year that could be invested in education, infrastructure, and other vital economic needs. The stock market should be about making smart long-term investments in growing companies, not electronic insta-trades that treat Wall Street like a casino and destabilize the entire economy.

  • Donald Trump - Release your tax returns!
    From sunlight.com concerning candidate transparency and tax returns "Unlike Congress, Presidents are exempt from conflict of interest laws. This makes disclosure of income tax returns especially important to shed light on areas of possible conflicts of interest. Yearly salaries are often reported in the news but tax returns reveal so much more about the character of the candidate. Their debts give us a broader sense of the state of their finances, and perhaps more importantly an idea to whom they could feel beholden. We learn how much (or little) they paid in taxes, and whether they utilized loopholes in tax law to avoid paying those taxes. It sheds light on whether they conducted activity that they have criticized on the campaign trail. Learning about candidates businesses, business partners and the state of those activities can help understand how their judgment might be affected by their financial transactions and debts. We learn their values and priorities from learning which charities they support." After reading this and other articles on candidate transparency, I believe the least a candidate can provide the electorate is full financial disclosure.

  • Senate Judiciary Committee: Begin hearings on federal judge appointee Abid Qureshi
    On Tuesday, September 6, President Obama nominated Abid Qureshi to fill a seat on the U.S. District Court. Despite the historic nomination of a Pakistani-American and Muslim to the federal judiciary, there are signs the Republican-led Senate Judiciary Committee may not even begin to hold hearings on his confirmation. [1] At a time when the a leading nominee for president is spewing anti-Muslim and xenophobic rhetoric, it is time for our leaders to show they don’t stand with the divisiveness of the Trump campaign. The Senate Judiciary Committee should immediately begin holding hearings for Abid Qureshi, a well-qualified attorney, and confirm his nomination to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.

  • Lester Holt: First Debate Democracy
    The power of money in our political system—who has it, who doesn’t, and what it's buying--has been a central theme throughout this presidential election season. In the Democratic primary, Bernie Sanders animated millions of Americans by mobilizing individual $27 donations to effectively match the power of millionaires and billionaires. Donald Trump dispensed with his opponents by calling them puppets of big donors while committing to being “unbought” by lobbyists and special interests. Hillary Clinton has said reforming the way our elections are financed will be a “top priority” if she’s elected. At the same time, debate has raged from state houses to courthouses about voting laws, who should have access to the ballot, and whether our congressional districts should be fairly drawn. These issues go to the very heart of who we are as a country – so many Americans are losing faith in our institutions and public trust in elected officials is at a record low. Americans deserve to hear the candidates’ positions on the power of money in politics, how they’ll eliminate barriers to civic participation and their visions for how we will take a step toward achieving the promise of our democracy, a vision of political equality for all Americans.
