Our senator, Ron Johnson, is one of the most fringe extremists in the U.S. Senate. He's an embarrassment to the state of Wisconsin and to any donors that supports him—including some of the largest companies in the United States. Johnson couldn't have won two senate elections it without big-money donations. He secured hundreds of millions in tax breaks for his two biggest billionaire donors. And major corporations' Political Action Committees (PACs) are part of the action, too. These include the PACs of Fortune 500 companies and major corporations, such as: Google, Amazon, BP, UPS, AT&T, GM, Mass Mutual, American Express, Lockheed Martin, CitiGroup, and more. Now he's raking in contributions for his third race. But the corporate PACs who have supported Johnson in the past now have no excuse. They know he's a climate denier. They know he rejects basic science on the pandemic. They know he vowed to object to the election outcomes, which helped fuel militant expectations that they could overthrow the election on January 6. They cannot support Johnson with one hand and support responsible positions with the other. Johnson is more interested in spreading lies and conspiracy theories than in governing for the American people. He is one of the richest members of Congress who has consistently turned his back on his constituents when they needed him most, while looking out only for himself, special interests, and his bank account. Enough is enough.

This is so key to keeping our children safe in the schools this coming year and in the future due to the fact that the delta variant is raging the country at a rapid rate and masks keep us safe. As a parent of two wonderful children, I want to keep them safe and I would do anything, and many other parents would do the same. Keeping our kids safe is so key because they are the future of this very world. Please contact your friends and family that live in Palm Beach County and encourage them to support our petition. Also, while we were doing our petition, we saw that a school in Atlanta that was only one week into school had 100 kids in isolation, and 9 COVID-19 cases, with 8th & 6th grade classes going virtual for the time being, this is why masks are needed due to the fact that children are in school for 6-8 hours per day. It would be very negligent to not have masks in schools because children are there for a very long time and they would make the spread of COVID-19 easier. It is only going to get worse, last year schools only had about 50% of their students in-person, now with 100%, it will only make a potential outbreak worse, our children depend on us and the schools to keep them safe and we cannot let them down.

Pegasus, a spyware created by Israeli company NSO, surveilled over *50,000* individuals — including private citizens — through their phones: tracking their messages, monitoring their locations, and even remotely activating their microphones to listen in on their conversations. This kind of mass surveillance is a threat to each and every one of us. That’s why we’re calling on Congress to protect our privacy and implement oversight of Pegasus spyware. Will you add your name to join us in calling for an end to unchecked surveillance?

If Facebook determined that Donald Trump's spread of conspiracy theories was so harmful that his Facebook and Instagram accounts were suspended for two years -- why can he keep using the PACs he controls to share content on these platforms? That’s right -- Trump may not be able to post on Facebook using his account, but he has found a massive loophole to exploit: using political committees under his control to post content. And unless we speak out, Facebook may continue to let him get away with it. Here’s what’s going on: Trump’s political action committee -- the Save America PAC -- has been running ads inviting Facebook users to attend Trump rallies, donate to Trump’s political efforts, and more. Facebook is trying to claim that this doesn’t violate Trump’s suspension, so long as the ads are not being posted in Trump’s “voice.” But Facebook’s policy is extremely vague and not rooted in any campaign finance law -- and Trump is taking advantage. In reality, all communications disseminated by this PAC, which Trump established and controls, are unquestionably in his voice. Allowing Trump to exploit this loophole only signals to other violators of Facebook’s policies that they too can evade enforcement actions by using a different page run by a political committee or political entity under their control. If Facebook really wants to combat voter suppression and stop online hate, it must close this dangerous gap in its policies. That means subjecting any Facebook pages run by a political committee that’s established, financed, maintained, or controlled by an individual to the same content moderation decisions as that individual’s Facebook account. If you agree, add your name today.

There is no guarantee that the WoW development team will see or be influenced by this petition, but should this get enough support, it very well could influence the change we all want to see. Those who knew Jarod well, including many within the Blizzard development community, have been seeking a way to include a proper and permanent tribute to Jarod in-game. This is quite possibly the best and most fitting solution to that desire. Let our collective voices guide their actions!

With smaller class sizes, our teachers will be able to focus more of their attention on the specific needs of their students. With many children just returning to in-person instruction, this will already be a more difficult adjustment than most years. Teachers will need to be able to assess and address the needs of each student so they can get everyone on the same page to move forward, much like kindergarten. Large class sizes are also a safety concern. Our classrooms are large enough to fit about 23 students when spaced 6 feet apart. Our children need to be properly spaced for COVID safety.

After the shocking violence of January 6, General Motors' PAC pledged to pause all political donations and reevaluate its relationship to the lawmakers who fueled the insurrection. But watchdogs have found that they have broken that promise and have donated to nearly a dozen lawmakers who voted to overturn the election. The 147 members of Congress who voted to reject the election results helped fuel the insurrection, advanced conspiracy theories, and attacked our democracy. These members of Congress should renounce their votes against certifying the election and commit to respecting the 2020 election, future elections, and our democratic system, and GM and other corporations and industry groups should demand that they do so. We've already seen some companies who had let their commitments to democracy slip make things right. Toyota, who made a similar commitment in January, was also singled out as a top contributor to insurrectionist lawmakers based on CREW’s research -- and they changed their policy to prevent it from happening again. GM needs to follow their lead, as well as the dozens of companies who haven’t kept their commitments. GM: You did the right thing in January to distance yourself from the lawmakers who threatened our democracy. You must keep your word and refuse to backtrack on this commitment.

The world watched in horror as white supremacist Trump supporters violently attacked the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to overturn the results of our free and fair election. In the aftermath, General Motors was part of a wave of companies who suspended donations to election objectors, pledging to pause their political contributions and reevaluate their standards. But it turns out that GM has donated tens of thousands of dollars to re-elect lawmakers who voted to overturn the election, making them one of the top corporate donors to insurrectionists. Senator Ron Johnson is among them. Johnson is trying to rewrite history by lying and saying that January 6 was “by and large a peaceful protest.” It was not. Johnson has even gone so far as to vote to object to the election results, to acquit Donald Trump for inciting the insurrection, and to block a bipartisan commission to investigate the attack. General Motors paused their political donations to insurrectionists and then started up again when they thought no one was watching. Nothing has changed. Ron Johnson has still enabled attacks on our democracy and values corporate profits over his constituents. And he is one of the leading apologists in Congress trying to rewrite the history of the fatal insurrection of January 6. None of the lawmakers who voted to overthrow the American people's election should receive a single dollar more in donations. And Ron Johnson is particularly reprehensible. Throughout history, we've consistently seen white supremacy and right-wing groups go unchecked for the violence and terror they cause. We saw Donald Trump get both enabled and supported by Republicans for four years as he attacked our democracy over and over. Then, after inciting the insurrection, the Republican Party did nothing to hold Trump accountable. And that’s not all: Senate Republicans used the Jim Crow filibuster, a tool invented by pro-slavery senators before the Civil War that prevented the passage of over 200 anti-lynching bills over the years, to block a bipartisan commission that would have investigated this attack on our democracy. This is what General Motors’ donations are enabling. It’s unacceptable for them to backpedal on their promise to stop funding insurrectionists. Republicans like Ron Johnson consistently got in the way of providing much-needed relief to hurting Americans but magically found funds for the wealthy and corporations by passing a massive tax cut. They called the virus a hoax while hundreds of thousands of people died across the country. They packed the courts. They pushed through a Supreme Court justice in eight days, seven days before a presidential election. They incited an insurrection led by white nationalists. Johnson is more interested in spreading lies and conspiracy theories than in governing for the American people. He is one of the richest members of Congress who has consistently turned his back on his constituents when they needed him most, while looking out only for himself, special interests, and his bank account. After a briefing on the COVID-19 in January 2020, before many of us knew of the possibility of a pandemic, Johnson sold millions of dollars in stock to line his own pockets. He was the deciding vote on legislation that gave the ultra-rich and corporations a $1.7 trillion tax cut. Then, while hundreds of thousands of Americans died from COVID-19, millions were going hungry, and millions were unemployed and living paycheck to paycheck, he voted against COVID-19 relief and direct payment relief that would actually help people … twice. Enough is enough. The GOP Treason Caucus objected to the election results, refused to hold Trump accountable for inciting a deadly insurrection, helped him evade consequences, and blocked an investigation on the attack. General Motors, stop funding white supremacy, insurrection, misinformation, conspiracy theories, violence, and attacks on our democracy!

If FBI Director lied about this investigation...what else is he hiding?

Our fight for a clean environment and clean air, must be heard. Pollutants from the local waste transfer stations on Douglas Ave. have caused asthma, cancer, and other health ailments in our community, and enough is enough. We have been neglected too many years by our elected officials in exchange for them getting funding from these waste stations in Jamaica, Queens. Waste stations “fund our NYC parks” and “help the community” while they get passes to pollute our community. We must fight against this environmental racism.

Recently, a federal judge in Southern Texas barred the government from accepting new DACA applicants, leaving tens of thousands of potential DACA recipients without work authorization or protection from deportation. In addition, this ruling ordered the DACA program to be partially ended, an immigration program that shields nearly 700,000 immigrants brought to the US as children from deportation. Right now, hundreds of thousands of lives are at risk and now first-time DACA applicants are losing their deportation protections along with their ability to work and drive legally in the United States. For now, current DACA recipients are allowed to apply for renewals. Still, this decision makes one thing absolutely clear: only a permanent legislative solution passed by Congress will eliminate the fear and uncertainty that Dreamers face yet again. Congress must take immediate action and includes a path to citizenship for Dreamers, TPS-holders, and essential workers in the upcoming infrastructure and Senate resolution budget package. Poll after poll has shown that the American public on both sides of the aisle supports a path to citizenship for immigrants and want Democrats to use every political and legislative tool available to them to deliver concrete results this year. Please sign this petition to call on President Biden and Congressional Democrats to deliver on a path to citizenship for millions of Dreamers, TPS-holders, essential workers and families who call America home and live in constant fear of being broken apart.
