  • Candidates Must Support Medicaid Expansion in Nebraska
    It is estimated that 54,000 citizens of Nebraska are not getting the medical care they deserve because our state refuses to join the federally funded Medicaid Expansion program in the Affordable Care Act. The program is fully funded for the first three years and is funded at a minimum of 90% after that. Our current governor thinks we can't afford it, but clearly it is not a money issue when millions of dollars could infuse our economy and create new jobs while providing needed medical care at the earliest stages of a problem rather than crisis control in an emergency room. Withholding this coverage is fiscally irresponsible and morally corrupt. The opposition to this program “has placed the lives of hundreds of working Nebraskans at risk and jeopardized the health of thousands more” said the Nebraska Hospital Association. (Washington Post, March, 19, 2014) I’m not going to stand by and let my fellow Nebraskans die for lack of access to medical care when the program they need is ready and waiting to help if only the Unicameral and the governor had the will to act. A recent effort to move forward with a very common sense implementation failed to progress in the Unicameral by only 12 votes. Please help by signing this petition today. We must put pressure on those who are running for office this election cycle. We can’t let this type of narrow minded politics continue in our state.

  • Require All Police Officers To Wear Cameras
    The police deserve our respect. They deal with the worst of society on a daily basis. At the same time, people have rights. Several recent viral videos have served to undermine the police and their ability to maintain law and order. Many of these videos do not show what led up to the arrest and many show the people in question resisting arrest. When the suspect dies because of physical force, the public is angered and protests have ensured which has lead to rioting endangering the community at large. At the same time, there is a small percentage of police officers that have become that which they work to protect us against. These THUGS with a BADGE abuse power, do not care about your civil rights, and would not hesitate to harm you if you cross them on a bad day. These people do not maintain law and order, they only serve to undermine the rule of law and instead inflict their own version of justice - and they need to be removed from the streets. Please help us maintain TRUTH with ACCOUNTABILITY. Because the police deal with situations that are often violent and involve criminal behavior, it is in the best interests of our modern society to arm them with the ability to record their interactions with the public so that never again will people question what happened. We will know the truth and we will ALL have accountability for our actions.

  • Helping Families in Mental Health Crisis Act H.R. 3717
    When my daughter Sophie, who struggles with bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder turned 18, I lost the right to talk with her doctors and help her make treatment decisions. I chronicle my story in "Surrounded By Madness: A Memoir of Mental Illness and Family Secrets." Sophie spiraled out of control, is addicted to meth, and lives on the streets, when she's not in jail. Our mental health system is in shambles. H.R. 3717 would enable parents to help when their adult child is in crisis, treat patients in the least restrictive environment, and make assisted outpatient treatment programs an alternative to jails and prisons.

  • Attorney General Holder, conduct a federal investigation of the Michael Brown murder case.
    This petition is being started because Chief Jackson of the Ferguson Police department has shown that he will do anything to protect police officer Darren Wilson. We do not trust District Attorney Robert McCullough or the local authorities of Ferguson, Missouri and St. Louis County, to give a fair, unbiased investigation. We are gravely concerned that history will repeat itself, with the same unfortunate results of the George Zimmerman murder trial of Trayvon Martin. Attorney General Holder, DO NOT LET US DOWN!

  • Don't Shoot Rec Act
    In Oakland, California, the NAACP reported that out of 45 officer-involved shootings in the city between 2004 and 2008, 37 of those shot were black. None were white. One-third of the shootings resulted in fatalities. Although weapons were not found in 40 percent of cases, the NAACP found, no officers were charged. In 2007, ColorLines and the Chicago Reporter investigated fatal police shootings in 10 major cities, and found that there were a disproportionately high number of African Americans among police shooting victims in every one, particularly in New York, San Diego, and Las Vegas. The New York City Police Department has reported similar trends in its firearms discharge report, which shows that more black people have been shot by NYPD officers between 2000 and 2011 than have Hispanics or whites. There's been dozens of shootings since then , where's the Justice from the Police who are paid to protect and serve? It's time to put an end to the murdering of unarmed citizens. If a Cop has the right to use deadly force; we the public deserve to know why. Why not get the story direct from the officer. "Before you Shoot Rec." Sign this petion if you support this Act. It keeps the police and the public safe. It's time to put an end to unjustifiable homocide ! This petition for the "Don't Shoot Act" goes as followed: "Don't Shoot Rec Act" Body cams for police to wear in every state; To record every lawful arrest and interaction with the community /Create a website open to the public /every arrest made by an officer will be logged in the database to be used as a silent witness for the people and the police.
