Investigate Election Fraud by the Clinton Campaign in NevadaGetting the State of Nevada to look into potential wrong-doing with the Clinton Campaign, for violating Nev. Rev. Stat. §293.505(10) - which states: However, persons assisting voters in completing the application to register to vote by mail must not solicit a vote for or against a particular question or candidate; speak to a voter on the subject of marking his or her ballot for or against a particular question or candidate; or distribute any petition or other material concerning a candidate or question which will be on the ballot for the ensuing election, while registering an elector.2,023 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Pivot America

ICE: Let Pedro, Yefry, and Oscar go!During the last 2 weeks of January this year, Yefry, Oscar, and Pedro were aprehended by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, on their way to school or work. Oscar and Pedro were both taken on their way to work. Yefry was detained at a school bus stop, before he could get on the school bus. It is inappropriate for ICE agents to be targeting young people and students at bus stops on the way to school or on their way to work. School bus stops, like schools should be considered safe places for young people, free of persecution or feeling terrorized. In 2014, these 3 young men braved the hard journey to the United States, fleeing violence and poor economic conditions in their home countries. They are hardworking students and deserve the right to stay here. Like many of the over 100,000 families that arrived here in 2014, they did not have adequate legal representation, when they applied for refugee status. Now they are facing deportation. If sent back to their home countries, they will be returning to dangerous and violent conditions, as well as poor economic prospects.702 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Kevin J. Rogers, Action NC

Innocent Californian on Death Row! Save This Life!Is It Better That Ten Guilty Persons Go Free Than That One Innocent Person Be Convicted! But this innocent man is not just convicted, but is on death row. “I am the only person in the history of the state [California] to have five federal circuit judges say that ‘the state of California may be about to execute an innocent man,” said Cooper during an interview with NBC from the prison. “I’m not asking America as a whole, or any one person in particular, to believe me. Forget what I say. I’m asking people to believe those [judges].” Kevin Cooper. Five Federal Judges, after carefully reviewing the trial court's ruling, decided that Kevin Cooper did not commit the alleged crime. "The judges found that the prosecution and the Sheriff’s office destroyed, tampered with and hid from the defense significant evidence that the jury never heard. Finally, in a damning statement the judges wrote, “The State of California may be about to execute an innocent man.” "Death row inmate Kevin Cooper is up for execution in California for a brutal murder that occurred in 1983. Cooper was sentenced to death in 1985 for the brutal murder of a family in the Chino Hills suburb of Los Angeles. Police contend that Cooper killed Douglas and Peggy Ryen, their 10-year-old daughter Jessica, and 10-year-old Chris Hughes, who was staying with the family the night of the murders. There was one survivor, a then 8-year-old Josh Ryen who had his throat cut and was left for dead. When Josh Ryen recovered from his injuries, he stated that it was three white or Hispanic men that attacked and killed his family and that Cooper was not involved. This started a chain of events that reveal a 30 year cover up and blatant falsification of evidence by police and the prosecutor’s office in San Bernadino County. Copper’s execution is scheduled for this month [February 2016]." Tell the California House, Senate, and the Governor of California to re-consider Kevin's execution decision. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Cooper_(inmate) Thank you!

Tell the SSCCC to stop ignoring their governing documents and to increase transparency.Since the beginning of the 2015-2016 term, the SSCCC has continuously failed to follow their governing documents. No agenda during the current term has been sent out in compliance with our bylaws. Every agenda has been sent out less than the five (5) calendar days required. Failure to follow our governing documents forced the SSCCC to invalidate elections this term. Failure to follow our governing documents has created a situation where board recognized Student Body Organizations were not recognized at Fall 2015 General Assembly. The SSCCC has failed to follow rules set in place by the the Council itself. Meeting times were not adequately reflected based on the Council’s decision to extend meeting times. The SSCCC has not posted minutes to their website since the September meeting. The SSCCC routinely sends out agendas without completed supplementary documents available for public inspection before the day of the meeting. Students cannot call into meetings with an informed viewpoint. The SSCCC routinely labels resolutions infeasible due to lack of interest in implementation. The SSCCC routinely ignores the student voice by not implementing resolutions. We, the students of the California Community College system, demand the SSCCC follow their governing documents, implement resolutions fairly, and increase transparency at all organizational levels.50 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Christopher Recouvreur

Tell Congress: Don't make it harder to prosecute bank fraud.Systematic fraud on Wall Street helped spark a financial crisis in 2008 that cost millions of Americans their jobs and their homes. But federal prosecutors didn’t put a single Wall Street executive in jail. Not one. Instead, spineless regulators told them to pay a fine and asked them nicely not to do it again. It turned into a “get out of jail free” card for the big banks that break the law. You’d think the big banks would be happy with an enforcement system that is so tepid that they could bake fines into the cost of doing business instead of going to jail. But nope, the banks are demanding even less oversight. This week, Wall Street’s buddies in Congress are lining up behind a bill to make it harder to prosecute bank fraud. You heard that right: The House of Representatives will vote this week on the Financial Institution Customer Protection Act, a bill that would make it even tougher to investigate and prosecute bank fraud. Wall Street and their Washington friends don’t think you’re paying attention to what’s going on in Congress this week. They don’t think you’ll care about a complicated, jargon-filled bill that will weaken the rules for corporate criminals. Let’s show Wall Street that the American people are watching – and we want tougher enforcement on banks that break the law, not weaker. Tell Congress to vote NO on Financial Institution Customer Protection Act this week.120 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Elizabeth Warren, U.S. Senator

Wasserman Schultz: Debate Tim Canova on TPPThe Trans Pacific Partnership agreement was signed on Feb. 3. Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren has called on Congress to reject the agreement. "I hope Congress will use its constitutional authority to stop this deal before it makes things even worse and even more dangerous for America's hardest-working families," Warren said on Feb. 2. [1] DNC chair and Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz was one of only 28 House Democrats to vote for "fast track" legislation enabling the TPP negotiations to go forward. [2] Her stance on the final TPP agreement will likely have a decisive impact on the Congressional debate. Wasserman Schultz has a Democratic primary opponent, Tim Canova, who is a sharp critic of the TPP agreement. [3] A debate on the TPP between Wasserman Schultz and Canova will help educate and engage the broad public on the issues at stake. Doctors Without Borders [MSF] says that the TPP deal is "the worst trade deal ever for access to medicines and will make life-saving treatments unaffordable for those who need them most." [4] Urge Debbie Wasserman Schultz to agree to debate Tim Canova on the TPP by signing our petition.

TAKE ACTION: Stop Old-Growth Clear-Cutting in the Tongass National ForestLast year the U.S. Forest Service approved the Big Thorne timber sale in the Tongass National Forest—the largest, most destructive old-growth clear-cutting project in more than 20 years. Earthjustice is in court today fighting to stop Big Thorne, but if we don’t act soon the Forest Service could approve a forest plan for the Tongass that would allow more large-scale old-growth timber sales just like it for another decade or more, instead of the quick end to old-growth logging in the Tongass promised by the administration in 2010. We can save the Tongass rainforest—but we need your urgent help now to tell agency officials they should quickly bring an end to destructive and controversial large-scale old-growth logging. The Tongass is one of the few remaining old-growth temperate rainforests in the world, and America’s largest national forest. Towering stands of 700-year-old trees provide vital habitat for countless species, including the Alexander Archipelago wolf. An ancient, carbon-rich forest, the Tongass helps to moderate global climate change. Delegates to the Paris climate talks agreed that protecting the Earth’s forests is one of the most important means of curbing the damaging effects of climate change. Protecting Tongass old-growth is an essential step the United States must take to meet the climate imperative coming out of the Paris talks. A stronghold for all five species of Pacific salmon, the Tongass supports a thriving fishing industry as well as a booming tourism industry, as people from across the country visit to enjoy its world-class recreation, hunting and sport and commercial fishing opportunities. The communities of southeast Alaska depend on the bounty of the Tongass and its lands and waters for subsistence practices, recreation and livelihoods. Take action now to protect the Tongass National Forest and reject old-growth logging.888 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by Holly Harris, Earthjustice

MSNBC Suspend Chris Matthews or Give Bernie Equal TimeBernie Sanders is the most progressive candidate this country has seen since George McGovern. Though running as a Democrat, he is taking on the establishment of both parties as being complicit in the takeover of the US economy and government by billionaires and corporations. He is even taking on the mainstream media and their corporate owners for their role in aiding and abetting this. If the president of MSNBC wants his network to have any credibility as a practitioner of unbiased, objective journalism, he should be very concerned about a show host who has essentially become a mouthpiece for one of the candidates. Chris Matthews has clearly jumped the shark in his blind adoration for, loyalty to and incessant promotion of one of the candidates for the Democratic nomination. Here is just the latest example of his shilling for Hillary Clinton. In this interview, he enables her fantasy narrative that her 2/10ths of one percent lead over Bernie Sanders in Iowa, a statistical tie, constitutes a win. And he can barely hide his contempt for Bernie Sanders when he spits out invective that he is not a Democrat, even though he is clearly running as a Democrat, in order to discredit Senator Sanders with the viewers. http://www.msnbc.com/hardball/watch/clinton-on-her-chances-in-new-hampshire-614386755972 Here is a magazine columnist's take on it. http://www.esquire.com/news-politics/politics/news/a41754/chris-matthews-hillary-clinton-interview/ Chris’ wife may be egging on his disgraceful behavior towards Bernie Sanders. His wife, Kathleen, is running for Congress just outside Washington, D.C. She has very publicly endorsed Hillary Clinton, has worked closely with the Clinton Foundation, is using footage in her campaign of her interviewing Hillary when she was a news reporter, is getting big bucks from Hillary donors, and her campaign is paying money to firms associated with Hillary. There is a clear conflict of interest between Kathleen’s new political career and Chris Matthews’ journalistic obligations to the public. Several women, including Sen. Sherrod Brown’s Pulitzer Prize-winning wife Connie Schultz and Arnold Schwarzenegger’s famous wife Maria Shriver, have taken leaves from their journalism jobs while their spouses ran for office. There is no reason a man should not have to do likewise. Please sign this petition to suspend Chris Matthews for the duration of the 2016 Presidential campaign. Either that, or he needs to give Bernie Sanders equal time on his show or charge Hillary Clinton for political advertising.19,522 of 20,000 SignaturesCreated by Lauren Steiner
