This petition is calling for an investigation, not to just flat out remove Alex Nguyen from office. The Council and the people of this city deserve to know if anything is going on that is undermining this City out of the view and transparency to the public.  If an investigation shows no wrong-doing, so be it. But on the other hand, if the investigation shows that he is not performing his job properly and in the best interest of this city, he needs to be removed.  When you put a cake in the oven, you check to make sure the temperature is correct and that the cake isn't burning. To just leave it unchecked could produce one heck of a failure of a cake.  We need to make sure our City Manager isn't secretly burning this city down with his actions and non-actions.

 Rochester is in the midst of a housing crisis. Current resources do not meet the current needs. • There are 635 homeless adults and 570 beds for adults (without children).  • There are 415 families living homeless with children and 310 beds. For many houseless people, there is nowhere to go instead of living outdoors. The current administration firmly believes they are conducting simple "relocations". By technical definition, a homeless sweep is, "the forced disbanding of homeless encampments on public property and the removal of both homeless individuals and their property from that area." The administration sends outreach workers, police and dump trucks into encampments, leaving our chronically homeless community with no safe space and without any belongings. Regardless of the label, in practice the current administration is conducting sweeps.

Wyoming has a long history of responsible regulation of firearms. Sensitive areas such as schools, college campuses, and government buildings should not have their rights to regulate firearms removed.  • Each school district already has the right to create their own concealed carry program for staff. A few school districts have implemented successful programs while many have decided not to.  • College and University Board of Trustees already can create their own concealed carry programs. The University of Wyoming Board of Trustees voted against allowing concealed carry on campus in November of 2024.  Sign this petition today to prove that the majority of Wyomingites do not want gun free zones repealed and want to maintain local control! 

This is important because these immigrants who are here legally working, contribute to our society, both financially and culturally. They have done nothing wrong because they have done what the US told them to do by filing for and receiving work authorization documentation, as well as social security numbers. You are reneging on something our former government gave permission for which makes us all look very bad and we believe it is unethical and immoral. 

  If someone risks their life for their country, they should never have to fight again for basic healthcare, housing, or dignity.    I care because I’ve seen too many veterans come home broken—physically, emotionally, spiritually—only to be ignored by the system that sent them into danger. We hear “support the troops” at every rally, every political event… but when it’s time to fund services, they’re forgotten.    Did you know that 17 veterans die by suicide every day in the U.S.? Or that thousands are homeless, untreated for PTSD, or stuck in endless red tape just trying to access care?    Meanwhile, defense contractors get richer, and politicians give speeches.    This is personal for every American. These men and women fought for us. Now we must fight for them.    Sign this petition to demand Congress stop breaking its promises. Our veterans deserve more than words—they deserve results. 

Because no one deserves to live in unsafe, unlivable conditions—especially when they’re paying rent. When we allow slumlords to get away with neglect and abuse, we’re not just hurting one tenant, we’re sending a message that people’s dignity and basic needs don’t matter. This campaign isn’t just about me—it’s about all of us. It’s about standing up for families, seniors, single parents, working people—anyone who has ever felt ignored, disrespected, or trapped by a landlord who refuses to do the right thing. When we come together and raise our voices, we shift power back to the people. We make it known that we will not be silent, and we will not settle for less than what we deserve: safe, clean, and humane housing. This is more than a complaint—it's a call to action. I’m asking others to join me because change doesn't happen alone—it happens when we show up together.

In 2023, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed the "Parental Authorization for Deviation from Student's Legal Name Form" rule that requires teachers and school administrators to get parental permission to use alternative names for students. This is an unprecedented attack on teachers—punishing them for creating safe environments for their students. The rule is so extreme that it covers nicknames, but its ultimate aim is a thinly veiled attempt to humiliate transgender students, putting them in potentially dangerous situations at school and at home. Florida teachers are also expressly forbidden from educating their students on issues related to sexual orientation or gender identity, and state law prohibits anyone in a school from being required to use a person’s preferred pronouns.  Anti-trans laws have a devastating impact on young people and their mental health. We can’t accept attacks against educators who show up for their students. Add your name now!

This humiliating practice is detrimental to young child’s social skills, and invites bullying to the child. It creates embarrassment to the point that they may have no motivation to eat lunch. Other students may stop hanging around a child who eats at a silent table because they are now painted as a bad child who is problematic. Meal time should be social and not silent. Considering many children do not get to experience family mealtime, it should be a given right for children to have that connection with others at school lunch. Children need to develop social skills and lunchtime isolation robs them of that opportunity to build friendships and practice communication. Isolation of a child causes unnecessary feelings of anxiety and rejection. A child cannot learn when they are anxious and worried about judgment. Acceptance should be a feeling that is prioritized at our schools. When a child is repetitively isolated, the child may struggle with reintegration in social groups. Feeling like an outsider is something no child should feel or experience- especially at schools that advertise and preach inclusivity.

We are Kilmar, Mahmoud and Rumyesa. They are us. The Trump administration’s violation of Constitutional rights will not stop with them. 

Katy Perry, who sang “What a Wonderful World” while suspended in space, said the quick trip was “all for the benefit of Earth,” kissing the ground when she landed. However, the less-than-11-minute space flight likely resulted in emissions of 75 tonnes of carbon per passenger.  Despite being backed by one of the richest men in the world, Blue Origin also receives money from the government through contracts and grants. Meaning our tax dollars are making Bezos richer and funding celebrity joyrides to space. Meanwhile, Donald Trump and Elon Musk are proposing major cuts to NASA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and other critical science programs and services.  NASA—run by real scientists, not celebrities—is facing nearly 50% cuts to its science programs, a move that some elected officials say would hurt national security, innovation, and our global reputation. NOAA—which monitors space weather, tracks solar storms, and develops satellites—is facing 27% cuts, threatening to “take us back to the 1950s” according to the former director of NOAA’s Oceanic and Atmospheric Research division. It’s embarrassing that a celebrity crew wasted resources and time for a joyride in space while the programs we rely on for scientific research and services are being drastically cut.  Tell Perry and the other celebrities on the space flight: Our planet and our future need real action NOW. If they care about the earth as much as they claim, they must use their platform and resources to support NASA, NOAA, and other climate groups in the wake of Trump’s devastating cuts. 

We all need to participate in holding the U.S, Government accountable to enforce the demands set forth by the judicial branch to uphold the law in the interest of EVERY CITIZEN. 

Kilmar is not alone. He is one of over 250 immigrants deported without due process, as part of Trump’s $6 million deal with Bukele’s government—a plan to funnel immigrants, often with no criminal record, into El Salvador’s prisons under the false label of “gang affiliation.” Now, during Bukele’s visit to the White House, Trump is trying to expand this secretive deportation pipeline, using U.S. taxpayer dollars to outsource human rights abuses abroad. We demand the Trump administration comply with the Supreme Court ruling and immediately bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia back home to his family. No one should be disappeared into a foreign prison without evidence, trial, or justice. Add your name to condemn this illegal and horrifying abuse—and call on Trump and his officials to stop this inhumane deportation scheme and free Kilmar.
