Just like the state of New York is reviewing terminating business relationships with Donald Trump, Nevada should do the same. America is place of values and diversity. Trump's racist and hateful comments towards Mexicans cannot be tolerated.

The reasons I believe this is relevant and should be provided to the American people are as follows: 1. Our President is photographed in all types of situations that he cannot control. I want to prevent any pictures that could potentially damage our image around the world. 2. As a fiscal conservative, it is important to ensure that no unnecessary taxpayer dollars will be wasted in this process of hair preparation. I have the right to know how much I will have to pay for that hair.

On July 2, 2015 governor LePage changed the hiring policy for new hires in the State. This will affect the formation of the cold case squad. We ask Governor LePage to continue the spirit of bipartisanship that has driven the cold case squad from its beginning. We respectively request the Governor immediately allow the Office of Public Safety to hire the 2 detectives and 1 lab tech funded within the budget. We want to remind the Governor of his comment from 2014 “Because it’s the right thing to do,” referring to funding for the cold case squad. Thank you to to the 127th Legislature for working together to get this squad funded, and now we are waiting for the Governor to exclude the squad from any partisan politics.

Univision dumped Donald Trump and his Miss USA Pageant after he announced his plans to run for president in part to stop Mexicans who "have lots of problems" and are "bringing those problems to us." "They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, they're rapists," CNN reports. Now Trump announces that Albuquerque-based Reelz Channel will partner with Trump to carry his Miss USA pageant, even though Trump has doubled down on his remarks.

On Thursday July 2nd the BP settlement was finalized requiring BP Oil Company to pay $18.7 billion in damages as a result of gross negligence in the Deepwater Horizon disaster, but there are indications that only $5.5 billion of that settlement will be non-tax deductible. BP has already paid about $42 billion to address the Deepwater Horizon disaster since oil first started spilling in 2010. About 80% of those payments have qualified for tax deductions, effectively shifting the cost of BP’s “gross negligence” onto taxpayers. These write offs send the wrong message. They diminish the value of settlements as a deterrent to future misbehavior. They are also costly for the public because taxpayers must make up for the lost revenue through cuts to public programs, higher tax rates, or more federal debt. It's time to demand an end to holding tax-payers accountable for corporate misconduct: no more write-offs for corporate wrong doing.

He must be held accountable for his discriminatory statements made against the Mexican community.

Juan de Jesus (A095-528-377) came to the United States from the Dominican Republic when he was two. Now, 27, Juan is a New Yorker with deep roots in New York and New Jersey. He graduated from Norman Thomas High School in August 2007, and worked at a bodega before his detention. His entire family is here, including his green-card holder mother Augustina, his four U.S. citizen siblings, and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins. His U.S. citizen fiancé Alya Aboulhosn, whom Juan has dated since February 2013, attends all his court appearances and visits him in detention weekly. Juan is also a dedicated uncle to his two U.S. citizen nieces and U.S. citizen nephew. Juan has had a hard time getting good legal help. When he tried to regularize his status, an immigration “worker” Vincent Gonzales never followed up with his case. In July 2010, the NY Attorney General obtained a judgment of over $6.25 million against Mr. Gonzalez for engaging in the unauthorized practice of the law and defrauding thousands of immigrants. In August 2014, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detained Juan after he was convicted for drug possession. The criminal defense attorney who represented him was recently indicted for attempting to bribe Manhattan court staff. In September 2014, Juan’s attorneys appealed his conviction. Under immigration law, while the appeal is pending, the conviction (a felony for DACA purposes) is not “final,” and, as such, does not disqualify him from DACA. But ICE refuses to release him until the court decides the appeal, which could take up to two years. The DACA guidelines provide that while in ICE detention, Juan cannot apply for DACA though he fully qualifies. Juan also has three possession of marijuana New York violations: two carry maximum penalties of only a fine and do not count as misdemeanors for DACA; and one counts as a non-significant misdemeanor for DACA. These NY violations do not disqualify him from DACA. Juan started using drugs in high school. Becoming homeless after his mother (at the urging of her then-boyfriend) kicked him out of her apartment exacerbated his drug use. If Juan is released, he is determined to stay clean, and has already been accepted into a drug treatment program in New Jersey where he will live with his fiancé. Juan is also seeking asylum. His hearing was scheduled for June 2015, but because the judge assigned to his case retired, the court rescheduled for December 2015. Juan will have been detained for over a year and four months before his hearing. He has already been in detention for ten months. His attorneys filed a habeas petition in federal court on June 16, 2015, so that Juan may be released while he fights his case. That petition is pending. Please sign and ask ERO Field Office Director John Tsoukaris to release Juan from detention so that he can fight his case from home with his family.

Erik Cortez-Sandeniz (A# 096-116-570) came to the United States from Mexico when he was nine years old. This is a letter from his oldest son, also named Erik. “My father grew up in Providence, Rhode Island and attended Central High School. He dropped out of high school to work and provide for his family at the age of seventeen. Since then, he has been the head of our household and has dedicated his life to taking care of his children and wife. He is now thirty-six years old and is in detention. My father grew up in a neighborhood filled with gangs. Like many other young people in his community, he became involved with the gang because that was what he knew. Despite his gang affiliation, he started working at the age of thirteen to provide for his family. One of his first jobs was helping in a local church. This country has been the only place my father has known. His whole family is here including his three U.S citizen sisters and U.S citizen mother and U.S permanent resident father, numerous of aunts and uncles and cousins, but most importantly he has his five U.S citizen children. I am his oldest son and I am nineteen years old. I just recently finished my first year at Brandeis University on a scholarship. His second oldest was recently accepted to Mass Maritime on a scholarship. Before being detained, my father saw his second son graduate high school but if he is deported he won’t see the rest of his children complete this important milestone. Two of his other children are in high school and his youngest just finished the 5th grade. He has been with my mother, his wife, for 20 years. If he does go back to Mexico, there's a possibility that he will be killed by rival gangs. He made mistakes, but I truly believe he has learned from them and moved on. He instilled in us the value of education that he learned from his experiences. My father grew up in circumstances that did not allow him to get an education, but he made sure that did not happen to us. He has two felony charges: one occurred when he was very young for leaving the scene of a car accident and the second for selling a gun to someone he thought was a friend and explained he needed a gun because his family was being threatened and was in danger. My father has provided and raised a wonderful family.” Please sign and ask ERO Assistant Field Office Director Todd Thurlow and DHS Deputy Assistant Secretary Esther Olavarria to release Erik from detention so that he can fight his case from home with his family.

Donald Trump must be made to atone for his racist comments of the past week.

It is important that the North Carolina-based Ku Klux Klan should not be allowed to rally at the State House on July 18, 2015, in Columbia, SC, because they represent racism and hate towards Africa America. They are known for killing African-American and burning down black churches. Their presence is negative energy and the people of Columbia SC already going through enough hate and racism as it is. After the hate crime that took nine African Americas lives at a church in Charleston, South Carolina on June 17, 2015, six historical African America churches had been set on fire in the past two weeks. A couple of people have already been arrested at the Statehouse. A rally at this time is a bad idea. People should support this petition because this rally will follow our state for years to come, and we as a state should not want to be connected to a gang as hateful as the KKK. We are afraid for our safety also the well-being of the historical African Americans churches we have here in the city of Columbia. This will make a big different in our state because they are not wanted here. By not allowing the Ku Klux Klan to come to our state and rally will keep some of the gangs and Black Panthers that are also planning to show up on the 18 of July away. It will also allow the people of Columbia SC time to grieve and heal from all the tragedies that have taken place in the last month.

I've been to heaven and I had to do everyone's dishes because that's all I could get the job for. We need more people to not go to heaven or hell, we need a neutrality where we don't have to serve an all powerful lord. I.E. IRS.
