Hello everyone. My name is Samuel Keys, and I am running for local office right here in Mississippi. As a progressive, I want to create progressive ideas to not only move my district forward, but also my county as a whole. So join me in this fight as we move Lincoln County, Mississippi forward.

The U.S. Senate is poised to take up dangerous new sanctions legislation that would sabotage diplomacy and could lead to war with Iran. As President Obama explained, “New sanctions passed by this Congress, at this moment in time, will all but guarantee that diplomacy fails... It doesn’t make sense. That is why I will veto any new sanctions bill... The American people expect us to only go to war as a last resort, and I intend to stay true to that wisdom.” Tell the Senate to support Obama’s call for diplomacy, not war, with Iran! Introduced by Senators Bob Menendez (D-NJ) and Mark Kirk (R-IL), this legislation is a renewed push for the very same reckless, diplomacy-killing sanctions that we fought and helped prevent last year. New sanctions would violate the interim nuclear deal, push Iran away from the negotiating table, and put us on the path to war with Iran. If Congress passes a new Iran sanctions bill that leads to the end of negotiations, Congress will be held responsible for the failure of diplomacy- and perhaps for another war. This bad bill could go through- despite President Obama's promised veto- but only if enough Democrats support it. That's why we need to make sure Senate Democrats hear our opposition now- before the legislation gains traction. Help us send a united, strong, anti-war message to the Senate. The pending agreement has the potential to stand as a powerful example of an important U.S. foreign policy milestone- demonstrating the power of tough, principled diplomacy in lieu of a rush to use military force. An issue that's this important to all of our collective security is worth taking the time to get right. Please take one minute to stop war hawks from killing diplomacy.

As a parent of children who attend public schools in Virginia, I have witnessed first hand the effect school violence can have on the ability to learn and thrive in the school system. It is time for a change to happen. It is time for parents who send their children to school to learn, to be able to feel safe in doing so. As parents we have a right to be able to send our children to public schools to learn and be free from violence. It should not be the victims of these attacks and/or instances of bullying, that must find new schools to attend out of fear or embarrassment, but should instead be the requirement of those who commit the violent acts. It is also important for schools and those in power to realize that the need for counseling and anger management in early instances of violence is important to preventing these children from growing into violent adults. Our children have a right to education and to feel safe in getting that. Please help show support in making our schools safer for our children and in ensuring that children who need help receive that.

Every week we have to hand over our nephew to his mother and her husband a child sex offender. We have no choice it is the law that she and he get unsupervised visitations.

We want the Muncie Community School Board of Trustees to vote against paying outside nonlocal companies to manage school food services and sending money out of Muncie and the local economy for any school service. Non bargaining Workers of the Muncie Community Schools do not want to be outsourced to an outside company or even a foreign company and lose local jobs. Hold the school administration accountable for management of school services instead of approving an approach that will have long-term negative effects on the community.

Boehner's treacherous invitation to Netanyahu verges on treason. Netanyahu's goal is to use Boehner to sabotage the Iranian Nuclear Disarmament talks. Netanyahu is facing an election in March. This speech is clearly a campaign stunt that will be used to justify his continuing persecution of the Palestinians. It is the constitutional responsibility of the President to conduct foreign policy. There are well-established protocols by which an invitation would be extended through the State Department so that America presents a unified diplomatic position to the world. Democratic Representatives must boycott this speech and remain united behind the President. Failure to do so will make the United States appear to be controlled by Israeli interests further disrupting efforts to achieve Peace in the Middle East.

The Trans Pacific Partnership will give international corporations veto power over our laws. It will prevent us from doing what we need to do as a nation to get out of this economic crisis. If it is rammed through now, the next President won't be able to do what has to be done. Anyone who plans to be President better stop this treaty , or what's the point?

In 2014, residents of North Braddock were approached to lease their land for gas development. Fracking began to be seen and promoted by some as the cure for our borough's struggling financial issues. In response, some of us banded together to form a community group, North Braddock Residents For Our Future. We already have steel mill pollution to contend with, and do not want another industrial operation near our homes. We have seen the harm that fracking has brought to communities all over Pennsylvania. We want to find ways to bring positive and lasting change to our borough and we want to tell our local government, we say YES to our health and safety, and NO to fracking in North Braddock.

The USDA approved Monsanto’s new genetically engineered cotton and soybeans that are resistant to dicamba, an herbicide that has been known to cause reproductive and developmental harm. Herbicides like this are poisoning our soil and water and pose a threat to the health of our families, environment, and wildlife. We need less toxic herbicides and pesticides in our food system, not more. But now that these herbicide-resistant seeds have been approved, more toxic chemicals on the food we eat every day could be imminent. We need to push back and tell the USDA that their approval of these seeds is unacceptable.

I was fired from the McDonald’s where I worked because I don't "fit the profile." What profile? Well, my bosses didn't explain, but they did say things like, "There are too many black people in the store." And: "We need to get the ghetto out of the store." And: "It's dark in here and needs more lightening." More than a dozen of my African American coworkers were fired with me - and many of us are filing suit against McDonald's to stop this kind of racist harassment.

The SB City Plan Commission recommended the action (3-2)- now it is in the hands of the City Council. One fact continually gets buried = The City of Sturgeon Bay owns that property. They are illegally changing zones for what is now just an interested party. Our Alderman are elected to represent our voice, let them hear us: We the people of the City of Sturgeon Bay REFUSE TO SELL!
