On September 23, President Obama vetoed the bipartisan Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act [JASTA], setting up a veto override fight over whether 9/11 families will be allowed to sue the Saudi government over its alleged role in the 9/11 attacks. JASTA, which passed the House and Senate unanimously, makes no claim about the Saudi government's involvement in the attacks. It simply removes the Saudi government's legal immunity from lawsuits concerning terrorist attacks on U.S. soil. Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders both support JASTA. [1] Supporters of JASTA have charged that the Administration is simply trying to protect the U.S. government's too-cozy relationship with the Saudi government, which has recently come under long-overdue Congressional scrutiny. On September 21, 27 Senators voted to block a billion dollar arms deal with Saudi Arabia, with many citing Saudi use of U.S. weapons against civilians in the catastrophic Saudi war in Yemen. [2] House Members have introduced a companion bill to disapprove the Saudi arms deal, HJ Res 98. [3] On June 16, 204 Members of the House voted to bar the transfer of cluster bombs to Saudi Arabia. [4] Administration claims that the principle of sovereign immunity is in peril if JASTA becomes law are unserious. There are already exemptions to sovereign immunity in U.S. law, including for terrorism. (We will pass over the Administration's support of the TPP, which would allow brand-name pharmaceutical corporations to sue governments in corporate tribunals to block the introduction of cheaper generic drugs.) JASTA would simply expand the current terrorism exemption to sovereign immunity of existing U.S. law to countries like Saudi Arabia that are not on the State Department list of state sponsors of terrorism. [5] The State Department list results from opaque determinations that include issues besides terrorism. The Administration wants to maintain the unilateral power of the executive branch to give a government a pass on support of terrorism if the executive branch - especially the Pentagon and the CIA - perceives that government to be useful in other ways. The majority of Americans have no interest in maintaining this unilateral, unaccountable executive power. And if people in other countries want to sue U.S. officials over alleged U.S. support for terrorism in their countries, those families also deserve their day in court. If that prospect might be a deterrent to Pentagon and CIA adventurism overseas, the majority of Americans will shed no tears. Urge your Senators and Representative to vote to override the President's veto of JASTA by signing our petition.

The purpose of the free press, as enunciated by key founders of America, was to keep the citizenry informed, engaged, and in dialogue with one another about the crucial issues of the day. The health of any democracy can be diagnosed by the degree to which information flows freely in the culture. Anything that interferes with that free flow of information is a form of censorship, which acts to derail, distort, and deny the efficacy of any true democratic experiment. Why is no one mentioning that the corporate media is controlled by seven corporations with conservative boards which dictate what news will be printed or reported? Evidence: if you haven't read or heard about the Downing Street memo; that the Iraq action was an illegal invasion and occupation which violated the Geneva Conventions, the principles of the United Nations, and Article VI of the US Constitution; that Osama bin Laden is not wanted by the FBI for 9/11 because it says it has no evidence against him; that World Trade Center Building #7, one block away from the other Trade Center buildings went down in its own footprints in only one second more than the other buildings and was NOT hit by a plane--these and more show that the news has been restricted and censored. We should fight to break up the monopoly that the media has become so that the public can make educated decisions. The evidence of a vigorous democracy is a free press. We do not have that. We petition the US Representatives and US Senators to pass legislation that would break the monopoly of the present corporate media with no corporation owning more than one medium.

On September 22, Mike Honda for Congress filed suit against Ro Khanna, Ro Khanna for Congress, and campaign manager Brian Parvizshahi alleging cyber crimes violating the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and the Federal Economic Espionage Act. These alleged cyber crimes and data thefts include lists with private contact information of supporters and donors of Rep. Honda. “You have the theft of confidential, proprietary information that’s then used against the supporters of a rival campaign,” states Gautum Dutta, an attorney for Rep. Honda's campaign. Mr. Khanna contacted and harassed Honda supporters seeking political support and financial contributions. My private contact information and that of my family and friends were stolen. I ask the Mercury News not to lose sight that the data represents individual lives that have been negatively affected by the Khanna campaign. These actions highlight an alarming trend by Ro Khanna of cheating the system to advance himself and his political ambitions. The San Jose Mercury News has not yet withdrawn their endorsement.

“Stocks lower as energy shares fall” is the headline of an Associated Press article in the L.A. Times Sept 24, 2016. It goes on to mention oil, gasoline, natural gas, and ocean drilling rigs. This misuse of the word "energy" creates a false line of thought. Standard & Poor’s Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS®) has this: “Energy Sector: The Energy Sector comprises companies engaged in exploration & production, refining & marketing and storage & transportation of oil & gas and coal & consumable fuels. It also includes companies that offer oil & gas equipment and services.” But where are solar and wind? They are listed under “Technology” or “Utilities.” It’s time to correct this mistake.

We are American Jews and allies who are interested in Palestinian human rights. Safe & clean water is a human right. People in Gaza don't have adequate clean and safe drinking water. This petition asks John Kerry for a State Dept investigation into Israel's culpability in this water crisis, because we give Israel $3+ billion per year, and US law doesn't allow our tax dollars to go to counties that abuse human rights.

By endorsing Trump, Mr. Ryan subscribes to support illegal, Anti-Constitutional acts, if Trump is elected as the President. Several times Speaker Ryan tried to downplay Trump’s endorsement, distancing himself from obvious Anti-Constitutional rhetoric, yet did not withdraw his endorsement. His rational is: I am endorsing Trump, but do not support Trump’s policy. Who do you kidding Mr. Ryan? Endorsement = Support, and declaration of willingness to violate the Constitution. There is no place in US House of Representative for the Speaker who publicly supports violations of the Constitution. We, undersigned, respectfully ask you to withdraw Trump’s endorsement and publicly reconfirm your commitment to support and protect the Constitution of the United States. Failure to do so will leave us no choice as to initiate recall procedure in your Congressional District. As you know, Wisconsin is only one of two US states with Constitution and procedure in-place allowing Recalls of the Federal Elected Officials. Even if such recall may be overruled by the Federal Court, we will expect your resignation as a Congressman, if requirements of the recall petition will be met.

On September 21, the Senate voted on a resolution offered by Senators Chris Murphy [D-CT], Rand Paul [R-KY], Al Franken [D-MN], and Mike Lee [R-UT] to block an arms sale to Saudi Arabia. The Murphy-Paul-Franken-Lee resolution was a challenge to U.S. support and participation in the Saudi war against Houthi rebels in Yemen. The Saudi war in Yemen has been sharply criticized by human rights groups for causing a humanitarian catastrophe, for violating international humanitarian law, and for violating U.S. laws against targeting civilians with U.S. weapons. Senator Warren and Senator Markey voted against killing the Murphy-Paul-Franken-Lee resolution, effectively voting against continuing to arm Saudi Arabia. [1] S.J.Res.32, sponsored by Senators Chris Murphy, Rand Paul, Brian Schatz, and Sherrod Brown, would increase Congressional oversight over U.S. weapons exports to Saudi Arabia. [2] Thank Senator Warren and Senator Markey and urge them to co-sponsor S.J.Res.32 by signing our petition.

Millions of Americans who follows 2016 Presidential Election are wondering: What is wrong with this strange Presidential Candidate? Why he is behaving so abnormal and doing things, other people consider unthinkable? Many reputable mental health professionals believe that Mr. Trump behaves abnormally because he is mentally ill. Among them: Ben Michaelis, PhD, Clinical Psychologist George K. Simon, Jr., PhD, Clinical Psychologist, expert on Manipulative Behavior Howard Gardner, Developmental Psychologist, Professor, Harvard University Joseph Burgo, PhD, Psychotherapist, and author of the book "Narcissist You Know” Many other Psychologists and Psychiatrists publicly expressed their opinions about Mr. Trump’s mental health. There are several examples of such opinions. Ben Michaelis, PhD, Clinical Psychologist verdict on Mr. Trump mental health: "Text Book Narcissistic Personality Disorder. (NPD) In the field we use clusters of Personality Disorders, Narcissism is in cluster B, which means it has similarities with Histrionic Personality Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, and Antisocial Personality Disorder. There are similarities between them. ....... Narcissism is an extreme defense against one’s own feelings of worthlessness. To degrade people is really part of a cluster-B Personality Disorder: it’s antisocial and shows a lack of remorse for other people. The way to make it O.K. to attack someone verbally, psychologically, or physically is to lower them. That’s what he’s (Tramp) doing.” Joseph Burgo, PhD, Psychotherapist explains: “Narcissists like Donald Trump…… are constantly driven to prove themselves among the “winners” of the world often by triumphing over or denigrating other people as comparative “losers”. If you examine Trump’s language in his public statements as well as in the debates, you will hear him proclaiming his winner status again and again while sneering at his detractors as losers” George K. Simon, Jr., PhD, Clinical Psychologist, Expert on Manipulative Behavior: "He’s so classic that I’m archiving video clips of him (Trump) to use in workshops because there’s no better example of his characteristics” Howard Gardner, Developmental Psychologist, professor, Harvard University verdict: “Remarkably Narcissistic" Many other psychologists and psychiatrists agree with such conclusions, yet warning that only in-person evaluation of Mr. Trump by panel of mental health experts will provide impartial and conclusive diagnose. For many people Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) may sounds like something minor, not important, perhaps, because of the disorder name association with beautiful Narcissus flower. But in reality, it is very serious, ugly mental illness. Some people call it "Illness of the Dictators". The list of historic political leaders with NPD and Cluster-B Personality Disorders may boil your blood, because of their crimes against humanity. This is a short list of political leaders with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) from Wikipedia: Pol Pot (Cambodia), Saddam Hussein(Iraq), Kim Il Sung (N. Korea), Mao Tse-Tung (China), Joseph Stalin (USSR), Ayatollah Khomeini (Iran), Hermann Göring (Germany, Luftwaffe), Heinrich Himmler (Germany, Reichsführer-SS), Adolf Hitler (Germany), Benito Mussolini (Italy), Napoleon Bonaparte (France), Nero and Caligula ( Rome, Emperors). Many of them came to the Power “democratically”, using unrestrained lies, unchallenged political rhetoric, manipulative skills, and ignorance of the electorate. There are many more less known Narcissistic Psychopaths in the world. They are dreaming one day become #1. Office of the President of the United States is Ultimate Prize for such people! We may have different views on Mr. Trump’s policy, rhetoric, behavior, or have different political affiliation, but, as American Citizens, we can’t afford to ignore warnings from reputable, highly qualified professionals, and go to the polls without an official evaluation of Mr. Trump’s mental health. We should recognize the danger and act accordingly. Petition text to be delivered to the US Federal District Court, California. We the Citizens of the United States of America, empowered by the Constitution of the United States to elect President of the United States, deeply concerned that GOP Presidential nominee Mr. Trump may be mentally ill, and may not be able to execute Office of President of the United States, and preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. As the Commander-in-Chief of the most powerful armed forces with excess to the nuclear launch code, Mr. Trump, presumably insane person, if elected, may be existential treat not only to our country, but all humanity. Several prominent mental health professionals publicly expressed their opinions about Mr. Trump’s mental health, and quite confident that Mr. Trump is mentally ill. As voters, however, we can not rely on remote evaluation of Mr. Trump’s mental health, nor allow presumably insane person to be elected as the President of the United States. We need official Trump’s mental health evaluation by panel of reputable mental health professionals appointed by court. In order to prevent possible disaster, and make intelligent decision how to vote in upcoming election, we, undersigned, respectfully asking the US Federal District Court to order impartial Mr. Trump’s mental health evaluation, and present results of such evaluation to the voters before 2016 general election.
