If you can believe it, Delaware law doesn't prohibit someone who is subject to a restraining order from owning, possessing, or purchasing guns. A bill introduced in the Senate would close this loophole, protecting women and families from gun violence. But, our legislators need to hear from us that this important bill will save lives and must pass.

The Maine legislature is considering a bill (LD 600) to prevent people who have been convicted of domestic violence from owning or possessing a gun. According to Rep. Richard Pickett, the bill's sponsor and a former police chief and state police detective, "50 percent or more of the homicides committed in Maine in most years are related to domestic violence." While it should be a no-brainer, it's going to take a groundswell of public support to pass this bill to protect victims of domestic abuse from gun violence and save women's lives.

Shell Oil wants to park a gigantic oil rig destined for Arctic waters in the Port of Seattle. Hundreds of residents have already made their voice of opposition heard by paddling out to meet the rigs in kayaks, and Mayor Ed Murray has stood strong against the oil giant. But, Shell has millions of dollars at their disposal, and they are not afraid to use a variety of pressure tactics. That's why it's so important that Mayor Murray and the City Council hear from Seattle residents opposed to the oil rig docking so that they continue to stand strong!

Dominion Power has been dragging its feet when it comes to investing in alternative clean energy. As our state legislators, you have the power to tell them to move forward with clean energy projects, like an off-shore wind energy farm. Virginia can be a leader in the clean energy movement, which will not only benefit the environment but also bring new jobs to the Commonwealth. Lets send a strong message to the state legislature and demand that they pressure Dominion Power to make much needed investments in clean energy development.

It is time to repeal this archaic 1949 law and let the consumer be able to pump their own gas.

I've seen the effects of under-insurance first hand. I am a family physician and ER doctor in Lebanon, NH. I see so many people in the ER either inappropriately or who have waited too long and are sicker than they should be because they don't have health insurance.

Five years ago, Congress passed a law that included a rule requiring all publicly traded companies to disclose their CEO-to-worker pay ratio. But Wall Street and big corporations have lobbied hard to stop the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) from enforcing this rule. It’s time to change that. Enter your name here to sign the petition telling the SEC it’s time to enforce the rule requiring companies to disclose their CEO-to-worker pay ratios.

I am starting this petition because I am an opponent of the death penalty. At a time when public opinion across the nation increasingly trends toward eliminating the practice, let's send a signal that here in Nevada we're moving past an eye for an eye.

In a 1957 speech titled "Give Us The Ballot," Dr. King made a vivid case for why voting rights are so critical in our society: "So long as I do not firmly and irrevocably possess the right to vote I do not possess myself. I cannot make up my mind — it is made up for me. I cannot live as a democratic citizen, observing the laws I have helped to enact — I can only submit to the edict of others." Senator Margaret Rose Henry is advancing voting rights in Delaware. She has introduced a Same Day Registration bill that allows eligible Delaware voters to register to vote on Election Day and then immediately cast a ballot. Please help advance Dr. King's vision in 2015.

I am a taxpaying citizen of the state of Louisiana. Please join me in letting our state officials know that every citizen in Louisiana deserves health care.

I know families that are really hurting because our state of Louisiana decided to opt out of expanding Medicaid for families that need healthcare. We see these are families everyday in our community that are working and can't afford to pay for healthcare.
