To protect the rights of all American citizens to have the freedom to vote without curbing those rights to particular groups of people who might vote a certain way. No one knows what is in the heart of any voter no matter skin color, gender, creed, or sexual orientation. What is in each individual's heart no one can possibly read. Voter fraud is miniscule at best. Taking away early voting, Sunday voting, same day registration, shortened voting days, mandatory voter ID's affects millions of American citizens. That is a cheap ruse from one particular party who knows they stand against the majority and are reckless and too insecure to stand by their principles and win of their own accord. It undermines the very essence of what Democracy truly stands for. One person - one vote!

I know our country's immigration laws are broken. My son-in-law, who has been in this country since he was a teenager, was racially profiled, stopped, and arrested in the small town of Fincastle, VA. In just a matter of weeks, he was dropped in a Mexican border town without ever having appeared in front of a judge and without signing a voluntary removal document. These types of deportations are happening at a rate of 1,100 per day and must be stopped! Over 200 days ago, the Democratic-led Senate passed an immigration bill that would update our broken immigration laws. Yet, Speaker John Boehner and key Republicans in the House -- including my member of Congress, Rep. Bob Goodlatte -- are refusing to allow a vote on it. As the Chair of the House Judiciary Committee, Rep. Goodlatte has the power to move legislation, like the Senate's immigration bill, that could directly help my family and millions of families like mine. Still, Rep. Goodlatte has refused to meet with me (and even my pastor) to talk about it. I need your help getting through to Rep. Goodlatte. Since he's a key Republican working on immigration reform, his decisions will impact all of us!

From 1972-2001, I ran a countywide abortion rights organization and two PACs. We flipped our county from 12-2 anti-choice to 100% pro-choice for county, state, and federal offices, by convincing pro-choice supporters to become pro-choice voters. I will seek every opportunity to urge pro-choice candidates to promote their pro-choice positions in their print literature, radio and TV ads, debates, and interviews. This is a winning strategy.

At the present time, all commercial use of UAS technology is grounded pending release of FAA guidelines. These guidelines have been delayed numerous times. Let the FAA know you believe in UAS and the positive impact it will have on the U.S. economy.

I am a farmer, who aims to grow the cash crop that my ancestors were encouraged to grow to support themselves, the community, and the nation as a whole. Hemp was such a valuable asset that the government accepted it as legal tender from 1631 to the early 19th century. Hemp can replace synthetic materials used in numerous industries. Hemp can be used to produce plastics that are biodegradable, it can be used for energy production, food, building materials, and so much more. The time to act is now.

“The believe 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 significantly weakened critical provisions of it. Congress can and should restore those protections immediately by passing this important bill. I believe Rep. Rooney place his support behind this effort by cosponsoring and fighting for a strong bill.”

Pete Doherty has not been allowed in the United States for a really long time. In fact he was denied entry into the United States in June 2010, after spending 10 hours in detention in JFK Airport, despite having a visa.

People should be concerned about this issue because haters are gonna hate. We must combat the haters. In the words of Mary J. Blige, we do NOT need any further hateration or holleration in this dancery.

I consider "my children" my three dogs and my cat. I currently have Pet Insurance, for each of these dogs, that I pay for monthly. If a person(s) pays for the health and well-being of their pet, just like a child is cared for, why can't our pets be claimed on our taxes as a dependent(s)? Our pets may not be "people" but they are living creatures who deserve to be treated and cared for just like us humans.

As West Virginians, we all support clean and safe drinking water and these strong recommendations will help make sure that we have it! Read the recommendations here: http://www.wvrivers.org/news/wvriverscoalitionreleaseswaterprotectionrecommendations

Verizon, Facebook, and Google have all agreed to release transparency reports disclosing how many times local, state, and federal law enforcement ask for our phone and other records. That's a vital first step in the work millions of us are doing to stop government and corporate invasion of our privacy, in all our communities. But in recent news reports, Comcast officials noted that they were evaluating whether they would release a similar transparency report. Let's help them with their evaluation and sign a petition to Comcast, telling them that they must release that report now and on a regular basis, and let consumers know when the government has asked for our data.

We need three states to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment so that it can be added to the Constitution, as our 28th Amendment. The time has come for equality among women and men to be recognized and supported by our United States Constitution
