• Lawmakers of America: Remove personal immunity entitlement from statutes
    Politicians, Law enforcement, and many others enjoy absolute immunity from suit for their wrong actions that result in harm to another person or group of persons. This statutory immunity prohibits an injured party from seeking redress for injuries sustained as a direct result of the actions of the person who has been granted immunity under that law. Thus creating a class or group of select persons who are declared by law to be above the law and free from either prosecution or suit solely on the basis of their position or office. This blanket immunity by law directly contradicts the constitutional precept that "all men are equal," and cannot be allowed to stand unchallenged within a democratic society.

  • Thanks for reforming the filibuster, Senators Feinstein and Boxer! @SenFeinstein @SenatorBoxer
    Great news! Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and his colleagues just eliminated the filibuster for most presidential nominations! This reform is crucial for a functioning government because a minority in the Senate was using the filibuster to obstruct every recent qualified judicial nominee -- with no end in sight. The New York Times called this reform "the most fundamental shift in the way the Senate functions in more than a generation." With this rule change, nominees for federal judges and executive-office appointments can now be confirmed with simple majority votes. This will really help dissolve the logjam in the courts from vacancies caused by the unprecedented number of filibusters. This change will also prevent outrages like the recent filibusters that prevented the Federal Elections Commission from enforcing basic election rules, and that threatened to block the Federal Communications Commission nominee unless he promised not to require disclosure on political ads. Nearly 6,000 Californians like you signed petitions to Senators Feinstein and Boxer urging them to pass filibuster reform – and they ended up providing the two critical votes. Please sign and share this petition to thank them!

  • Rep. McClintock: Avoid Another Shutdown—Close Corporate Tax Loopholes
    Recent federal budget cuts have hurt California's most vulnerable populations. Instead of taking money from schools and other vital services that help children, people with disabilities, seniors, and unemployed veterans, it's time to make profitable corporations pay their fair share.

  • [The News Journal ]: Don't Publish Climate Denial
    Newspapers need to stop publishing letters that deny climate change, starting with the News Journal. Climate change is a serious, man made, issue that has and will severely affect all aspects of the world as we know it in areas such as food production, water resources, economy, culture, and society. Publishing letters that deny climate change and refuse to pay attention to irrefutable evidence encourage Delawareans to be passive and let the climate change continue.
