• Say NO to the Trans-Pacific Partnership(TPP)
    This is a bad deal: It was negotiated in secret with some of the largest corporations in the world. The labor, human rights, and environmental standards are almost unenforceable. And, like NAFTA, under the TPP American jobs will still be shipped overseas. I’m sick of the promises of good-paying jobs and economic growth that never materialize. And I’m tired of our workers watching their livelihoods disappear. Stand with me and say NO to the TPP.

  • Return Property of Richard Wahmann Jr 9/11 Responder Seized Without Due Process Of Law Guaranteed...
    The property of Richard Wahmann Jr., $115,000, has been seized by a fake court order created by a non judicial court employee called a Support Magistrate. A support magistrate is not a judge and cannot create court orders which alter agreements and cannot interfere in a divorce judgment, but they do and did to me and they really put the screws to me because i had the nerve to research and inform them that I know this is nothing more than a fraud to get me to pay child support through their system so they can collect federal funds under 42 USC 658a Title IV-D. I have lost my home and nearly my sanity fighting people who commit fraud for a living under color of law.This fraudulent court order is created unlawfully and contrary to due process of law guaranteed by US Constitutuion and Specifically NYS Const Article 1 Section 2 "§2. Trial by jury in all cases in which it has heretofore been guaranteed by constitutional provision shall remain inviolate forever; but a jury trial may be waived by the parties in all civil cases in the manner to be prescribed by law" Section§11. "No person shall be denied the equal protection of the laws of this state or any subdivision thereof. No person shall, because of race, color, creed or religion, be subjected to any discrimination in his or her civil rights by any other person or by any firm, corporation, or institution, or by the state or any agency or subdivision of the state."[Security against unreasonable searches, seizures and interceptions] §12. The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. The Governor Andrew Cuomo is specifically empowered to uphold the NYS Constitution and preserve the rights of the residents residing inside New York State.

  • Stop potential terrorists from buying guns in Pennsylvania
    Enough with this madness. If the FBI considers you too dangerous to board a plane, you should not be able to purchase a gun. Period. The NRA has a chokehold on Congress, but PA Governor Tom Wolf can act right now to prevent the next mass shooting or terrorist attack by banning people on the federal terrorism watch list from legally buying guns. Connecticut's governor has already taken action. Now it's time for Pennsylvania to follow his lead.

  • Super Delegate Neutrality
    Oregon Super Delegates pledged neutrality in the Democratic Presidential Primary out of a belief that THE PEOPLE and not THE PARTY should choose our nominee. This IS the standard by which OUR PARTY should be judged. For ONCE, let the voice of the Rank & File be our guide AND NOT the hand picked ESTABLISHMENT CANDIDATE. The influence of Super Delegates is absolutely inconsistent with every stated goal and ideal of the Democratic Party.

FOR ORDERS THAT HAVEN'T GIVEN HER WHAT SHE WANTS, EVERYTHING W/OUT ME HAVING ANY CONTACT W/ DAUGHTER. DIRECTLY AFTER DAUGHTERS "SO CALLED RUNNING AWAY", WHICH WAS SET UP BY MOTHER.

THEY TELL ME TO TAKE IT UP WITH THE COURT THAT WRITES "UNENFORCEABLE ORDERS". I ASKED WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO, TATTLE ON MOTHER? *FOR WHAT?? SO I CAN GET ANOTHER ORDER, THAT'S UNENFORCEABLE? ("KANGAROO COURT!") WITH UNENFORCEABLE ORDERS?? GET RID OF IT! IT'S INEFFECTIVENESS IS DESTROYING FAMILIES ! FACT: THESE JUDGES DO NOT CARE,ONE WAY OR THE OTHER ! THESE CHILDREN ARE NO CONCERN OF THIS COURTS. I'VE WATCHED, OBEYED, AND SAW EVERYTHING THAT HAD SUBSTANCE, GO DOWN THE DRAIN !! THESE ARE OUR CHILDREN NOT THESE JUDGES KIDS TO GAMBLE WITH THERE LIFE'S .THIS STATE HAS NO RIGHT. GIVE A STRANGER DISCRETION TO TELL ME WHAT TO DO? CAUSE MOTHER WAS A CHILD ABUSER AN NOW HAS POSSESSION???? NOW THERE IS NO DIRECTION. TREATING OUR LIFE LIKE IT WAS A CRAPSHOOT? AND THINKING THEIR POOP DON'T STINK?? THESE ARE OUR CHILDREN!!

  • .@POTUS: Show How TPP Would Stop Keystone XL NAFTA Suit
    One of the most controversial aspects of the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement is “Investor-State Dispute Settlement,” or ISDS - corporations suing governments in retaliation for laws or regulations that they claim reduce their profits. As Senator Elizabeth Warren wrote, "ISDS would allow foreign companies to challenge U.S. laws — and potentially to pick up huge payouts from taxpayers — without ever stepping foot in a U.S. court." [1] In response to criticism of ISDS provisions in the TPP agreement from Senator Warren, Senator Sanders, [2] and others, the White House promised to put "stronger safeguards" on ISDS in the TPP. [3] Now Canadian oil company TransCanada has announced that it will sue the U.S. government for $15 billion dollars under the ISDS provisions of NAFTA for rejecting TransCanada’s controversial plan to build the Keystone XL pipeline. [4] Carroll Muffett, President of the Center for International Environmental Law, said: "TransCanada has proven what concerned citizens have argued for decades – that the primary purpose of ISDS is to subvert democratic processes and the public interest, in the name of private profit. It has demonstrated to the citizens of the United States, and the world, why these provisions have no place in new trade agreements." [5] Urge the Administration to show Congress and the American people how its claimed "stronger safeguards" on ISDS in the proposed TPP would prevent the Keystone XL NAFTA lawsuit by signing our petition.

  • Water in Flint is poisoned with lead and the Gov. knew - Sign the petition to get Flint help!
    In 2014, Flint's un-elected emergency manager switched the city from safe drinking water from Lake Huron provided through the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department to the polluted Flint River — all in an effort to cut costs. But the city failed to put in place the proper corrosion controls when it made the switch. The Flint River runs through a very industrial part of Michigan, home to a General Motors facility and DuPont chemical factories. The chemicals used to make the water "safe" made the water corrosive and it began eating away at the city's lead pipes. Flint's water is so corrosive that General Motors won't even use it to make car parts. Almost immediately after the switch, residents noticed changes in the smell, color and taste of the water coming out of their taps; tests showed high levels of bacteria that forced the city to issue boil advisories. Samples show off the chart lead levels in Flint's drinking water. Lead poisoning is incredibly serious. Once lead enters your body, there is no way to get it out. It is especially harmful to the developing brains of children, and can cause permanent brain damage. Michigan Governor Rick Snyder and the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality were aware of the high levels in Flint's drinking water for months and yet they kept telling residents that the water was safe to drink. Food & Water Watch organizer Lynna Kaucheck has been working with the residents of Flint to ensure that their water is safe and affordable and to hold those that are responsible for this man-made public health emergency accountable. More than 27,000 Food & Water Watch supporters helped bring national attention to this issue by signing a petition calling on city and state officials to switch the city's water back to the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department's drinking water system. On October 16, 2015, Flint's drinking water source was finally switched back to Detroit's drinking water. The problem: Flint's pipes are permanently damaged and continue to leach lead into Flint's drinking water. At the beginning of January 2016 the U.S. Department of Justice opened an investigation into how Michigan has handled the crisis in Flint. Then, Governor Rick Snyder finally issued a state of emergency to begin to give Flint residents the help they deserve, but this is too little too late for many of Flint's children. State relief may only provide the city with a small portion of the potentially $1.5 billion it will need to fix its broken water system and give Flint children the healthcare they need. The federal government must step in to help provide support for Flint residents. Stand with the residents of Flint and ask the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to declare a public health emergency to get the city federal aid.

  • Revoke new Uneployment Law
    I am a commercial roofer and this law has done severe damage to me and many of my co-workers. I was unable to collect my benefits last winter because I worked too much overtime, making 1 quarter too high. Being punished for working too hard and too much just doesn't seem like a message we should send to people. Like many of the people in the construction field, when I get laid off in the winter, I have serious trouble finding temporary work. Many places don't want to hire someone that they know will be gone in 2-3 months. Also to say things such as " Then get a different job." or " Not our problem." I just have to ask, who will fix your schools, hospitals, and/or offices? Our great state of Pennsylvania is filled with some of the greatest people in out country and it makes me sad to think that we can't band together and worry about helping each other. So please sign and help my friends, co-workers, our families, your follows Pennsylvanians , and me. Thank you for your time and I hope to thank you for your signature.
