Max Villatoro - Mennonite pastor, father of four, husband, community organizer - was unjustly deported in March of 2015. In January of 2016, Rep. Dave Loebsack (IA-2) introduced a bill in the House of Representatives to return Max to his family and community. Sign this petition to support the passage of the House bill and #BringBackMax.

OK is far behind other states in adapting to climate change and in starting this new industry, key to the transition to renewable energy. This law is vital to helping OK catch up.

Michigan officials have failed residents of Flint, Michigan. A state-appointed emergency manager switched Flint’s water supply to the Flint River in an attempt to cut costs. The water from the Flint River needed treatment to make it drinkable, but officials didn’t want to spend the small amount of money necessary to treat it. Instead, they dismissed complaints about the water from Flint residents for months, as lead contaminated the city’s water. Now, thousands will deal with the effects of lead poisoning for the rest of their lives. Tell Michigan Governor Rick Snyder to ensure every affected citizen is provided with free long-term care.

The idea that the wealthiest few so control the legislature as to prevent it from imposing common-sense, data-driven taxation policies is harming the labor force and thereby the chances at Washington state improving economically. It's past time that the state of Washington enact a progressive income tax.

Establish food sovereignty and security for the State of Indiana. Indiana is one of the worst States in the Union in providing fresh, quality food to thousands of residents who need it. In addition, many urban and rural residents in our State live ten miles or more from a supermarket, farmer's market or food pantry. Establishing a local foods production and distribution law is the first step in reorganizing our food system to meet the needs of all of our residents and put an end to draconian laws that prevent access to fresh, healthy food and eliminate the rise of "food deserts" once and for all.

I have five grandchildren that I care deeply about, and am gravely concerned they, as well as the rest of the children in North Carolina, are being short changed by the only people who can fix what they have done.

I'm trying to send a message to the Sanders campaign about their strategy. Like all candidates their web sites are 'read-only' so I'm trying this route.

Darnell Earley, the unelected emergency manager appointed by Governor Snyder who infamously switched Flint’s water source to the polluted, corrosive Flint River to save money, has been rewarded with appointment as emergency manager of Detroit Public Schools. It's time to kick this man to the curb!

This petition is about child physical and sexual safety. The California Constitution states in part that all citizens have a right to seek and obtain safety. Yet children are treated as property, not as human beings and citizens. This is the most important social justice and human rights issue of our times.

Many lives are being devastated by the irreversible damage genital lichen sclerosus is causing. I have this disease and moderate a support group for it, so I know of its negative, life-changing effects. We need to know the cause and and at least have more medical professionals able to diagnosis and effectively treat LS - the average delay of diagnosis is two years because of misdiagnosis.

We don't find ourselves in agreement with Mitt Romney very often, but we agree with Romney's call for all of the presidential candidates to release their tax returns. In a year when the leading GOP candidate is a billionaire, and other candidates have shady finances, it is important to know this information before the first votes are cast. [The following is from the Huffington Post http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/mitt-romney-tax-returns_us_56a4e0bbe4b0404eb8f1ea95] Former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney on Sunday called on 2016 presidential candidates to release their tax returns ahead of the first nominating contests in Iowa and New Hampshire. In a Tweet, he said "4 years ago today, I released my taxes; became issue. 2016 candidates should release taxes before first contests." Romney released his 2010 tax returns and 2011 estimates four years ago, following the lead of former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, then his main GOP rival in the 2012 presidential race. The issue dogged his campaign throughout the primary and into the general election, as Democrats insisted Romney, one of the wealthiest candidates ever to seek the presidency, release more than two years' worth of returns. Then-Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D) later infamously claimed that Romney "didn't pay any taxes for 10 years." Although he has ruled out another run for the White House, Romney has remained active in the 2016 race. He recently affirmed his belief that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) is a natural-born citizen, contrary to Republican front-runner Donald Trump's claims otherwise. Trump, who continues to lead in New Hampshire, and appears to have some momentum in Iowa, has not yet released his tax returns. The businessman in October said he would release his tax returns when “we find out the true story on Hillary [Clinton's] emails." At a rally over the weekend, Trump bragged that he paid "as little as possible" in taxes, because that's the "American way" and he's not an idiot"
