Right now, Trump thinks he’s unstoppable -- but he’s wrong. Trump has been asking Congress to rubber-stamp a renewal of the Patriot Act that will let his administration continue to spy on Americans without a warrant. With your help, we can stop him! Democratic Senator Ron Wyden and Republican Senator Steve Daines introduced a bill called the Safeguarding Americans’ Private Records Act that will keep Trump from using invasive, warrantless spying on Americans. Because it has bipartisan support, this can pass. What will really help right now is telling your members of Congress -- right now -- to vote for it before the March 15 deadline.

Our democracy is more important than Facebook’s profits. This year’s US presidential elections are in jeopardy—in part because global tech giant Facebook refuses to take responsibility for the lies, hate, and disinformation that are being spread using its platform. Facebook refuses to take down advertisements by US politicians that feature even the most blatant falsehoods. It freely allows microtargeting that directs disinformation at vulnerable communities that is hidden from everyone else. And its efforts to stop the spread of toxic lies and hate are too little, too late. Please join us to say enough is enough! Facebook must immediately prevent its platform from being used to spread disinformation and divisiveness that could disrupt our elections. We’re urging Facebook to: STOP THE LIES IN POLITICAL ADS Facebook should fact check advertisements placed by politicians and political campaigns. In other words, it should hold these political ads to the same standards it applies to advertisements that are not placed by politicians. As Facebook employees said in an open letter to company leadership, “Misinformation shared by political advertisers has an outsized detrimental impact on our community.” If you or I lied in an advertisement on Facebook, it would immediately be taken down. PROHIBIT POLITICAL AD MICROTARGETING Right now political campaigns can target their ads so precisely that they can pinpoint them to reach specific voters. The problem with this, according to former Federal Election Commission Chair Ellen Weintraub, is that “false and misleading messages may be disseminated in a way that does not allow people with conflicting information to counter those messages, because they won't see them.” Facebook already restricts targeting for industries with a history of discrimination, like housing. They should do the same with political ads. REFUSE SERVICE TO ANYONE TRYING TO DISRUPT THE 2020 ELECTION All businesses can refuse service to a person who violates their policies. Restaurants usually require patrons wear shoes and shirts. Facebook should require that users refrain from using the platform to disrupt the 2020 election. They can do this by implementing terms of service or acceptable usage policies that require users to follow certain rules about how Facebook can be used. AND MORE ... We need to reform Facebook to protect our democracy and our civil society. Facebook’s own employees have put forward an excellent set of recommendations that include spending caps for politicians and observing silence periods free from political advertisements before elections. Another strong set of recommendations was put forward by Change the Terms, which focuses on how the platform can enforce an acceptable use policy to prevent Facebook from being used to incite hate, fear and abusive behavior. Finally, a number of organizations make the case that the Federal Trade Commission should break up Facebook, which now has unprecedented power to decide what news and information billions of people around the world see every day.

Fair and free elections are a hallmark of American democracy. The American people’s confidence in the value of their vote is principally reliant on their confidence in the security and resilience of the infrastructure that makes the Nation’s elections possible. Shelby Pierson Senior Elections Security Intelligence met with Congress last week. It has been disclosed that Putin is actively interfering in our elections and he prefers Trump. More urgent than just their disinformation campaign, is the urgency to prevent Russia from hacking voting machines and manipulating votes. It has been reported last year that Florida was hacked prior to elections and that all 50 states were compromised in 2016. The Republicans have refused to pass 3 election security bills Congress sent to Senate. Americans are outraged. Trump just fired McGuire and replaced him with a temporary DNI Director who will do whatever Trump wants, including keeping secret anything related to Russian interference. Trump can’t be trusted. The new DNI Director can’t be trusted. Unless all 50 states are required to go to Paper Ballots Americans right to a free and fair elections is violated! We can’t allow Trump to cheat again. This is a National Emergency.

Our representative democracy has always experienced a peaceful transfer of power. According to reports from our U.S. intelligence community, there are current efforts to undermine our election by a foreign state. If we allow Election Day to come and pass, the very integrity of our elections may come into question. If it does, the foreign state may have accomplished their mission to divide us and advance their own interests with "elected" officials of the U.S. government in the future. Furthermore, policies that will affect our daily lives will come to pass and may affect, our education, health, economy, and our national security.

Big Oil & Gas keeps trying to lock us into a dirty future powered by fossil fuels -- a future with more fracked gas power plants, pipelines, compressor stations, processing plants, and dangerous storage facilities. No thanks. The only way to a truly clean, renewable energy future is to ban fracking and to stop all new fossil fuel development. We need you with us to make that happen. Take action today!

We are a close knit community, who love to plan events. We would like to utilize this spot for large events so as not to require blocking off streets. Street blockages cause traffic problems and safety concerns. This space is centrally located in the neighborhood and is much more easily accessible than the “green space” in the back of the subdivision behind houses. In addition, WE LOVE GREEN SPACE. These lots are the only two TRUE empty lots left that could easily be enjoyed by everyone. We, the community, will beautify these lots and take control of the upkeep. This lot being empty will attract buyers who are more hopeful for grassy and green areas. Ultimately, Dr Horton will have happier residents and buyers- leading to better results on surveys from recent purchases of these lots are left open. This will be a major satisfaction factor for the people of this subdivision. DR Horton developers, please leave this land alone!

March 23rd marks the 10th ANNIVERSARY of the passage of the life-saving Affordable Care Act (ACA). But today, the legislation that helped give thousands of Coloradans health care coverage is under attack. But we’re not going to let our elected officials like Senator Cory Gardner turn back the clock. The ACA has brought a world of difference to Colorado. Colorado’s uninsured rate dropped significantly. Insurers in the individual market could no longer drop, deny, or charge you more for coverage because of a pre-existing condition. That’s particularly important for the nearly 2.4 million Coloradans living with a pre-existing health condition. And because of the ACA, more seniors are able to afford their prescription drugs and some of the most vulnerable Coloradans gained health coverage due to the statewide Medicaid expansion. But 10 years after it passed, the ACA is at risk — and we need our leaders like Senator Cory Gardner to start defending it. Senator Gardner has repeatedly stated he would protect our access to health care, particularly for people with pre-existing positions. Instead, he voted four times to repeal the Affordable Care Act in the Senate and has done nothing to stop this reckless lawsuit. Sign this petition and tell Senator Cory Gardner to protect the ACA. Coloradans' lives depend on it and we won’t go back!

Several new sections written into the new law are going to have devastating retroactive consequences for current auto injury survivors that have been receiving care for many years. Several sections are going to make drastic negative changes in the way these patients are going to receive their care in the future. The New Michigan Auto Law makes drastic cuts to the reimbursement rates to almost every company providing services to current auto injury survivor’s and ones in the future. These cuts are as large as 50% and directed at small and large businesses in the healthcare industry. Currently, healthcare organizations make up 32 percent of the top 25 companies in the State of Michigan. These drastic cuts will lead to Michigan Healthcare Workers losing hundreds of thousands of jobs. The majority of small businesses serving auto injury survivor’s will be out of business. If you work or know someone who works for one of these types of businesses, you should be concerned about your future. Here’s an example of a few types of healthcare businesses that will be affected: Home Care Companies Case Managers Hospitals Rehabilitation Centers & Offices Attorneys Medical Supply Companies Doctors Offices Physical and Occupational Therapy Several other sections written into the new law address the increased liability you will now be taking on by reverting back to the tort system. You could now be responsible to pay another families medical bills resulting from a car crash for the rest of their life. Or you might have to go through the trouble of having to sue someone else to try and get your medical bills paid for. Either way is not good. Because of all of this increased liability, we are now going to have to carry a much greater amount of liability insurance that will increase our premiums and offset the savings from giving up our right to lifetime care for our family resulting from a car crash. Reforms are needed to the New Michigan Auto Law. Please sign our electronic form and show your support for reform.

Southern state Democrats have been consistently left out of the Presidential campaign trail despite of these being some of the most diverse states in the country. Stacey Abrams is the most prominent national voice fighting voter suppression and advocates for our concerns, particularly affecting people in the South.

Every day millions of patients with medical issues or patients who need necessary procedures are denied proper coverage by their health insurance providers. The patient/s are forced to use less effective drugs or go without due to the fact that they cannot afford the cost. My question is - under what basis do they have the right to tell you which drug or procedure they will pay for? The effective results are the insurance companies are dictating care and practicing medicine without a license. Insurance companies should not be allowed to lessen a persons quality and longevity based on their profitability. Every month the insurance providers take billions of dollars from consumers and then refuse coverage due to their desire to maximize unfair and exorbitant profits. Please help me be David in this David and Goliath fight!!

Our democracy is for sale. Superdelegates may be tempted to take dark money donations to vote for billionaire-sponsored candidates, denying true representational democracy to their constituents.
