• I won't Support Hillary Clinton
    The Democratic Primary has been rigged for Hillary Clinton! Our votes don't count and from the beginning all the odds have been stacked against anyone who has run against her. She is untrustworthy, the only candidate to my knowledge, for the Democratic nomination for president who has ever been under an FBI investigation and facing a potential indictment in history. She is a big gamble, and is not worthy of the nomination. She will not unite the party as to many do not trust her. She will be ineffective as a president, as Republican's hold a very real dislike for her and will not work with her. She is a divider, and will not be able to bring the party together as well as bring independents in to support her in the national election. Her nomination will mean a Democratic defeat in November! I won't support her!

  • End gerrymandering in Pennsylvania
    As a resident of the 7th Pennsylvania Congressional District, I am more than a little embarassed by the bizarre inexplicable shape of the district. Obviously, something's afoot.

  • Obama: Don't Send Weapons to Syria That Threaten Civilian Planes
    Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) and Rep. Ted Yoho (R-FL) have initiated a bipartisan letter to President Obama urging him to maintain his policy of refusing to transfer shoulder-fired surface-to-air missiles (“Manpads”) to Syrian combatants. This letter highlights the repeated votes by the House of Representatives in 2015 and 2016 that prohibited the use of any DOD funds to transfer Manpads to any party in the Syrian Civil War. Manpads can be fired at aircraft by individuals on the ground and easily hidden or transported in the trunk of a car. U.S. and Israeli officials have expressed concern that they could be used by terrorists to bring down commercial airliners. Since their first use against a civilian aircraft in 1978, thirty fatal MANPAD attacks have resulted in almost 1,000 civilian deaths. While the Obama Administration had previously opposed the transfer of MANPADs to parties in Syria, according to the Wall Street Journal, “Saudi Arabia and Turkey have increased pressure on Washington to up the ante in support of the moderate opposition in part by calling for the introduction of weapons systems that they know are a red line for Mr. Obama, such as Manpads.” [1] The transfer of these dangerous weapons to any non-state actor would be irresponsible, but the transfer to opposition groups in Syria could be particularly dangerous. Weapons transferred to Syrian insurgents in the past have wound up being used by insurgents in Iraq against the U.S.-backed Iraqi army and have been captured by terrorist groups Al-Nusra and ISIS. Urge your Representative to sign the Conyers-Yoho letter against sending Manpads to Syria by signing our petition. 1. http://www.wsj.com/articles/u-s-readies-plan-b-to-arm-syria-rebels-1460509400

  • Restore Voting Rights To Six Million Americans!
    As host of The Karen Hunter Show on SiriusXM, we crusaded successfully for the removal of the Confederate flag from the South Carolina statehouse. It is our mission to fight for the rights of Americans and hold this country to its promise. After interviewing Kemba Smith, we were compelled to take up the fight to restore voting rights to nonviolent felons. Smith, who could not vote in her state of Virginia after being pardoned by Pres. Bill Clinton, had to move to another state to vote. From state to state there are different rules. There are even a couple of states where PRISONERS can vote. There should be uniformity. At the very least, there should be a standard that says if a person serves their time, all of their rights of citizenship should be restored.

  • Congress: Pass Sen. Warren's Tax Simplification Act
    Every year, the average American spends over a dozen hours and hundreds of dollars simply to pay their fair share in taxes. But it doesn't have to be that way. Back in 1998, a Republican-controlled Congress passed a law meant to make it easier for all Americans to file their taxes. But, thanks to lobbying from tax preparation giants like Turbo Tax, the IRS hasn't actually implemented the changes mandated by the law. The "Free File" program the IRS created, which is supposed to give 70 percent of taxpayers access to free tax preparation, is used by only 3 percent of eligible taxpayers. Our taxes cover critical services like infrastructure, health care, and education, and it should be as easy to pay them as possible! Stand with Senator Warren and demand that Congress pass the Tax Filing Simplification Act.

  • No hate in Indy
    In previous speeches, Donald Trump has spread hate and disrespect for lots of American communities, such as Mexican immigrants, Muslims, and African Americans. I strongly protest his hate speech and want to let him know his hate speeches are not welcome in Indianapolis.

  • Stop the Cut to SNAP
    My name is Maurice Anderson and I am pursuing my Business Administration degree at Columbia Southern University online. The money I get from financial aid barely covers tuition and housing fees, therefore I find myself with no money to use for food. I was encouraged to apply for SNAP food benefits and also because of the 75% usage rate, I applied. I was first denied because in the eyes of SNAP Virginia, as a student, we are expected to have extra free time to also carry a job of at least 20 hours a week; not every 2 weeks or month, but 20 hours a week! Once I finally got a month's worth of working 20 hours a week to show to SNAP, they approved my case and received my allowance of $115.00 in SNAP food benefits for an entire month. Please help students/ workers in Virginia qualify for SNAP food benefits without having to work a maximum number of hours, and to be treated like the rest of the community. Please ensure that we can continue with our education and also work and be able to eat. Allow students to concentrate on our studies without mandatory work hour qualifications for SNAP benefits. Please sign this petition to help students attain food benefits through SNAP Virginia without restrictions on work hours!

  • Petition to Change the Definition of a Bias Incident
    We are afraid that Carleton's Bias Incident Response Team is not focused enough on the issues it was convened to deal with: systemic oppression. The current definition could be used against "reverse racism," which we don't think should be covered. We strongly recommend the BIRT Working Group develop a definition that is conditional upon a legacy of systemic oppression.
