DuPont poisoned thousands of us with C-8, and their irresponsible behavior is finally catching up to them. They've been ordered to pay 5.6 million dollars to David Freeman, who has testicular cancer as a result of their actions. But, DuPont is trying to use corporate tricks to avoid paying what they owe. If they are allowed to merge with Dow, the money will be hidden and we may never get the compensation we are owed. Even though we know they've planned it all out, DuPont hasn't said where the money will go, and until we have the answers, we can't let the merger go through. Attorney General Loretta Lynch is the only one that can stop this. Tell her to step in before it's too late. We can't let them put more people at risk!

What is Donald Trump hiding? By refusing to release his tax returns as he bids to become the next president of the USA, he is flouting modern electoral conventions and ignoring the wishes of the American people. By this simple act, by releasing his tax returns to open inspection by experts and lay folk alike, he can easily allay any fears of underhandedness or dishonesty in his business dealings. This is a big, big issue in this election, and he has nothing to fear if he has, as he repeatedly states, nothing to hide.

I was not allowed to represent myself in a lower court criminal case and when I tried to appeal the decision my case was taken over by an international syndicate of attorneys. Since I was unable to protect myself from denial of my 4th Amendment right to feel secure in my person and possessions and since I was denied my 14th Amendment right to own property the NSA should be responsible for their attack on those 2 Amendments by stealing the paid for property of Americans, the integrity of their phones. The Court must order an end to the 2 party system and the Electoral College and order NSA to prepare a voter data base and also put all parties candidates on the ballot because Dr. Jill Stein made the ballot in Washington and under the Constitution that means that all the voters get her on their ballots.

I feel strongly that Donald Trump is a fraud and I truly believe his tax returns would reveal that. And I can't believe the press is not pushing him more on this. He gets away with lying over and over and needs to be held accountable.

There are circumstances when it is absolutely essential for members of Congress to set aside their partisan politics. The need for enacting reasonable measures to protect the public health is one of them. It is irresponsible for Congress to not be in session while this emergency funding measure has not been resolved. We can't wait months until Congress reconvenes in the Fall. A mosquito borne viral epidemic does not wait or care, it only spreads farther. Even a single case of microcephaly or other birth defect in a child caused by the Zika virus that could have been prevented would be too many.

Donald Trump just asked Vladimir Putin, Russia's dangerous dictator, to commit espionage on Secretary Hillary Clinton and publicize state secrets that could threaten the security of the United States. Trump’s unprecedented request is not only dangerous, it may also violate federal law. What’s even more horrifying is that, as the Republican Nominee for President, Trump is scheduled to start receiving classified national security briefings as early as tomorrow. Donald Trump is a very real, dangerous, and serious threat to our national security. And he should not be let within 10 feet of any classified security information. We must join together and raise a massive outcry NOW before it’s too late!

Temporary Protected Status or TPS is granted to eligible nationals of designated countries suffering the effects of an ongoing armed conflict, environmental disaster, or other extraordinary and temporary conditions. TPS has provided an opportunity for individuals fleeing these various circumstances with another chance of rebuilding their life. However, this status as much as it is a blessing it’s also a stumbling block to many who now call the United States home; many have built their lives as well do citizens (even without the proper status), raising their children, working long hour jobs, paying taxes. Now, after much relief they have renewed fears about their status, the fear of deportation among these immigrants is real. Please, help these individuals live with dignity and respect worthy of a humane status, and the only way of accomplishing this is having a Resident status granted to them. -We are requesting a Resident Status for the following countries: -El Salvador which was the first country to receive TPS and the only country to have been granted TPS by Congress, which initially designated El Salvador for TPS through the Immigration Act of 1990; that designation expired in 1992. In 2001, the Bush administration designated El Salvador for TPS a second time, and the status has been continuously renewed since 2001. -Honduras which received TPS on January 5, 1999 as a result of the devastation caused by Hurricane Mitch in 1998. TPS for Honduran nationals has been extended continuously, with the current authorization lasting through January 5, 2015. -Nicaragua, like Honduras, first received TPS in 1999 following Hurricane Mitch; the designation has been extended continuously, with a current expiration date of January 5, 2015

State after state has accepted the funding provided in the Affordable Care Act and those states have reported huge health and economic benefits. 100,000 Nebraskans have waited long enough, have suffered long enough. No more gridlock politics at the expense of those most vulnerable. No more hollow, Trumpism excuses.

At a time when millions of Americans are facing poverty and homelessness, the City of Oakland is labeling hundreds of shopping cart recyclers as "addicts" and "thieves" and shutting down Alliance Metals, a recycling center that serves as a lifeline for Oakland's underclass. Join us, the ACLU, the NAACP and filmmaker Oliver Stone. Demand that Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf find a compassionate solution, one that dignifies the labor and protects the economic livelihood of Oakland's most vulnerable residents.

Donald Trump just called on "Second Amendment people" to act if Hillary Clinton appoints a Supreme Court Judge. This veiled threat is not just unpresidential—it's dangerous. As the Republican nominee for president, Donald Trump will soon be given access to highly sensitive intelligence briefings about national security. Because Donald Trump has never held a position of public service—such as being a state representative, governor, or public official—he has never been vetted for a security clearance. Giving someone like Trump access to this sensitive information is unprecedented and dangerous. Even national security officials have expressed concern about Trump's misunderstandings of the military and foreign policy. In April, CIA Chief John Brennan condemned Trump's position on waterboarding and torture, and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Joseph Dunford condemned water boarding, calling it "unAmerican." And just last week, more than 50 Republican security officials just warned that Donald Trump would put America's security "at risk." Trump has proven himself unstable and untrustworthy already—using incorrect and exaggerated information to stoke fear among his supporters throughout his campaign. Pulitzer Prize-winning PolitiFact reports that only 4% of his statements can be verified as "true." We must continue to stand up to Donald Trump. Tell Director of National Intelligence James Clapper to block Trump's access to national security intelligence now.

USAToday reported: Michelle Obama delivered a powerful speech during the Democratic National Convention on Monday, as the first lady shed light on the historical significance of her family's eight years at the White House as its first African-American family. "I wake up every morning in a house that was built by slaves," Mrs. Obama said in her keynote address. "I watch my daughters — two beautiful, intelligent, black young women — playing with their dogs on the White House lawn." As it turned out, one person was not entirely amused and went so far as to "fact check" the first lady's comments. FOX News personality and political lightning rod Bill O'Reilly defended the working conditions slaves faced while building the White House by offering the following explanation during The O'Reilly Factor on Tuesday: "Slaves that worked there were well-fed and had decent lodgings provided by the government, which stopped hiring slave labor in 1802. However, the feds did not forbid subcontractors from using slave labor. So, Michelle Obama is essentially correct in citing slaves as builders of the White House, but there were others working as well. Got it all? There will be a quiz." How dare O'Reilly defend the practice of slavery!? He must be fired and/or resign for saying something so ignorant.
