  • Rep. Gowdy, Support Voting Rights
    Late last week, Representatives Jim Sensenbrenner (R-WI) and John Conyers (D-MI) and Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT) introduced new legislation—the Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2014—that would strengthen the Voting Rights Act. This bill isn't perfect but is the best vehicle we have for restoring the rights struck down by the Supreme Court last year. We urge you to support it and prove you are interested in promoting voting by all eligible voters rather than trying to suppress voting as many believe.

  • Protect Voting Rights
    I am starting this petition because I have become increasingly alarmed by voter registration laws that make it increasingly difficult for some citizens of our country, in particular minorities and the elderly, to vote. Charges of voter fraud used to justify these laws consistently have been shown to be untrue. In a democracy, the basic right of all citizens to vote without undue burdens being placed in their way should be protected by all, not challenged in unseemly and cynical ways.

  • Remove all fluoride from Utah's water
    To free Utah citizens from being poisoned against their will. Or from further receiving the lie that it's for the benefit of our teeth, when the other side effects are so much worse it doesn't make it worth it. When you want to protect your skin from sun burn you add sunscreen to your skin, you do not ingest it.

  • Voting Rights Act Amendment
    The best way to be successful is to get as much visible support as possible early on. Already, there are nine co-sponsors of this bill—four Republicans and five Democrats. We need ALL OF OUR SENATORS AND REPRESENTATIVES onboard to protect the voting rights of ALL AMERICANS, particularly those who have historically been disenfranchised...Let's not ever forget the price paid by our ancestors to have our full rights as citizens.

  • Support the Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2014
    Last year, the Supreme Court gutted the landmark Voting Rights Act of 1965. Since then, Republicans across the country have raced to implement new restrictive laws that would do exactly what the Voting Rights Act was meant to protect. But now, there's a chance to stop that.

  • Rep. Hurt
    “The Voting Rights Act is one of the most important pieces of civil rights legislation Congress has ever passed. Last year's Supreme Court decision weakened critical provisions of it. Right now, Congress can restore those protections by passing this important bill. Rep. Hurt should support this effort by cosponsoring and fighting for a strong bill. It's only just.”

  • Tell Cami Anderson: Stop the One Newark Plan
    Cami Anderson, who was appointed by Gov. Chris Christie to oversee Newark schools, has proposed a top-down school plan called One Newark. A new Rutgers University study shows that Anderson’s One Newark plan has serious flaws. The schools bearing the brunt of the consequences have a greater share of low-income and black and Latino students. The schools that are being kept open are not used more than the schools slated for closure. And the charter operators that would take over the closed neighborhood schools don’t have a record of achieving better outcomes. The plan reduces students to a test score. Imposing this plan on a community that opposes it is doomed to fail. And the suspension of principals for engaging in dialogue with us shows just how out of touch this plan is. Students, teachers, school support staff, parents and community members are joining together to tell Anderson to stop this plan. She was wrong about suspending the principals. She is wrong about One Newark, too. Let’s take back our schools and reclaim the promise of public education in Newark. Add your voice.
