#VoteThemOutGOP Senators have shown loyalty to Trump over loyalty to country, Constitution, and constituents. All throughout the sham Senate trial, constituents were demanding witnesses, evidence, and a true accounting of Trump’s corruption and abuse of power. They are failing to do their jobs. Now we the voters are fired up to do our job and we pledge to vote Trump and Republican senators out in November. Here's who is up for re-election this year: Dan Sullivan, AK Tom Cotton, AR Martha McSally, AZ Cory Gardner, CO Kelly Loeffler, GA David Perdue, GA Joni Ernst, IA James Risch, ID Bill Cassidy, LA Mitch McConnell, KY Susan Collins, ME Cindy Hyde-Smith, MS Steve Daines, MT Ben Sasse, NE Thom Tillis, NC Jim Inhofe, OK Lindsey Grahm, SC Mike Rounds, SD John Cornyn, TX Shelly Moore-Capito, WV1,371 of 2,000 Signatures

Yellowstone's Grizzlies Should Be Protected, Not ShotDespite the administration's attempts to take away protection from threatened grizzly bears, these beautiful creatures are still protected by the Endangered Species Act, and they're not yet fully recovered. They can be — if we continue to protect them and let their population grow.614 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Center for Biological Diversity

No to Christian Support for the "Deal of the Century"Trump's "Deal of the Century" is a direct attack on the rights of the Palestinian people, one that would not be possible without Christians United for Israel (CUFI), the largest Israel lobby in the US. CUFI has spent over a decade laying the groundwork for these policies. With unyielding support for U.S. military funding to Israel, anti-BDS legislation, and settlement expansion, CUFI has been moving towards this moment since its inception. It is no surprise that CUFI's founder, John Hagee, a frequent guest to the White House over the past 4 years, attended Trump's announcement. With over 8 million members and consistent presence on Capital Hill, CUFI is intimately involved in strengthening conservative backing for Israel. Trump’s shameful attempts at suppressing Palestinian freedom would not be possible without them. We cannot allow CUFI’s influence to go unchallenged! Join me now in taking back our Christian Voice!1,715 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Tarek Abuata

Food Over-Packaging: Put A Stop To Unnecessary Plastic Packagings For Milk Tea 食品过度包装:对塑料袋装奶茶说NOThis experience is nearly universal: a package arrives at the front door and a buyer goes retrieve it. Opening the cardboard box, taking out the foam boards, bubble wrap, and plastic sheets, ripping open the shrink-wrap are all steps one must take to open an average package to reveal the product. By the same caliber, drinks such as milk tea are usually placed inside large plastic bags that serve no purpose other than being a temporary container. This means that purchasing a simple product weighing in at only a few grams, produces about a kilogram of plastic and foam that become potential pollutants for the environment. The producer wastes materials and money on extra packaging, and on top of all that, the process of disposing of such excessive packaging is certainly not an enjoyable process, and wastes time and effort on the consumer’s side as well. Join us in the effort to reduce plastic waste in the environment, help improve the productivity of firms, and reduce consumer inconvenience. After all, how can we clean the oceans if more plastic flows in afterwards? We hope that major companies selling beverages such as milk tea and coffee to the masses can see, and hopefully change their production methods for the benefit of our society as a whole. 这种情况是非常普遍的:包裹到达前门,买家前去取回包裹。打开纸箱,取出泡沫板,气泡包装纸和塑料片,撕开收缩包装纸,这是打开一个普通包装以获得产品所必须实行的步骤。同样的方式,奶茶之类的饮品通常会放在一个大的塑料袋中,这些塑料袋除了用作临时容器外没有其他用途。通过购买重量仅为几十克的简单产品,可以生产约一千克的塑料和泡沫,成为对环境的潜在污染物。生产者在额外的包装上浪费了更多的材料和金钱,最重要的是,处理这种过度包装的过程并不是不是一个愉快的过程,并且同时也浪费了消费者的时间和精力。加入我们,努力减少环境中的多余塑料浪费,帮助提高公司的生产率,减少消费者的不便。毕竟,如果以后有更多的塑料流入,我们如何清洁海洋?签署这份请愿书,以便使出售食品和饮料的大型公司可以看到,并希望改变其生产方式,从而造福于整个社会。7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kexin Liu

CVS Pharmacy is the largest retail pharmacy in the nation and is estimated to serve over five million customers daily. Join me in urging CVS Pharmacy to allow customers to return pharmacy prescription bottles for recycling, and prevent unnecessary waste from entering our landfills.314 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Caleb Merendino

Protect people with disabilities!President Trump is proposing changes to disability insurance (SSDI and SSI) that would impact an estimated 2.6 million people with disabilities, many of whom are families with children. Families like Kara’s in North Carolina: “My son is on the autism spectrum, he has other health issues that limit what he is able to eat, and he has horrible anxiety. He’s never been able to attend a regular school—we had to pull him out at the age of 7 because he would get so anxious and have hallucinations. On top of that, I have serious health issues. I have had 7 back surgeries and I’m on 19 different prescriptions. I’m a fall risk. I’m in bed a lot. I have blurry vision, narcolepsy and Behcet’s Disease (an autoimmune disease). I worked as a therapist but eventually had to close my practice. My husband works from home so he can take care of us but because of that he can’t advance in his career. I started applying for disability and was denied twice. Then I got a lawyer and it took forever for me to get a hearing and eventually get approved for disability insurance. SSDI got us to the point that we weren’t terrified all the time. We can breathe. If we lose it I don’t know what we will do. I’m terrified by President Trump’s proposal quite honestly.” We'll be submitting our official comment on Trump's proposed federal rule change on disability insurance and we want to make sure your signature is included.440 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Joy, MomsRising.org

Demand Glens Falls City Police Enforce NY State Penal Law, disorderly ConductFailure to enforce this law is seen as encouraging the breaking of the law, empowering those who wish to silence protest, thus making the city and police department culpable in the event of injury or death resulting from aggressive action against those who peacefully assemble. Tell our city officials to enforce the law. Demand they make our gatherings safe for all citizens to attend. A city where parents can safely bring their children to rallies to witness the exercising of their First Amendment Rights, without fear of exposing them to violence or foul language .403 of 500 SignaturesCreated by AGATA STANFORD

Encina PiscinaThe CDC reported in 2014 that people of color are more likely than whites to accidentally drown. In fact African Americans are likely to drown at a rate of 10X more frequently than whites. This is a shocking statistic and the reason for this I believe is lack of access to municipal pools. The 911 students at Encina are 81% minority and 93% are economically disadvantaged. They must endure the hot summers of Sacramento and there are few public pools in the vicinity. I presented this information to the Encina School Site Council in November, 2016. I thought that they would see how important a school site pool would be. I was so happy when Measure P passed. I assumed the district would provide a necessary provision. Then I saw that a track and field turf with stadium bleachers had been prioritized and was surprised that this superseded the need for a pool. The average temperature in Sacramento in July is 94 degrees and the nearby rivers are enticing. The American and Sacramento Rivers are dangerous, but attractive to swim in on hot days. On June 24 2018, an Encina Student, Mohammed Mounir Kamal, aged 17, accidentally drowned in the Sacramento River when he was on a picnic with his family. This sad tragedy should be our wake up call. Studies have shown the risk of drowning can be ameliorated by providing safe swimming sites, according to the author of “Contested Waters-A Social History of Swimming Pools in America” Prof. Jeff Wiltse, 2007. Moreover, swimming is a California State Teaching Standard. Having a pool on a school site underscores the importance of knowing this skill. A pool on campus supports four sports; Competitive Swimming, Diving, Synchronized Swimming and Water Polo. The Mission Oaks Park and Recreation District which serves the area has no pool either. Dan Barton, the Director has said he is open to operating the Encina pool over the summer. There are many models for this. For example in West Sacramento, The Parks and Recreation District has a contract with the Washington Unified School District to operate the pool during summertime at River City High School. It is called a Mixed Use pool. The approximate cost for a pool is $7 million. Encina had a winning swim team in 1991 and the SJUSD filled in the pool with dirt and asked the students to practice at Sac State. This proved to be too much of an inconvenience and the team disbanded soon after. Seven other SJUSD high school sites have pools so please consider giving these needy students a pool. A pool on campus supports four sports: Competitive Swimming, Synchronized Swimming, Water Polo and Diving. Swimming is unlike any other sport; it is a life saving skill.15 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Maureen Sorrell

John Bolton must take the standJohn Bolton has made shocking new allegations about President Trump’s conduct in office. Now, he must take the stand to tell the Senate and the American people about what he knows. In his new manuscript, Bolton asserts that President Trump said he planned to delay security funding to Ukraine until an investigation into the Bidens was launched. He also reveals new details about how senior cabinet officials -- including Attorney General Barr and acting Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney -- were involved in the scandal. This is a major clue as to why John Bolton was one of several witnesses that the White House blocked from cooperating with the House’s impeachment inquiry. The information he might reveal in his testimony could completely undermine Trump’s defense. And it’s possible that Bolton -- who allegedly once equated the Ukraine scandal to a “drug deal” -- would be a big crack in the dam, leading to more and more administration officials coming forward to tell the truth and avoid going down with Trump. Bolton has already stated that he’s “prepared to testify” in the impeachment trial. If the Senate blocks a credible, high-level witness like Bolton from taking the stand -- this trial will NEVER give the American people real answers or justice. Add your name to tell your senators: we deserve to hear what John Bolton has to say. Call on him to testify as part of Trump’s impeachment investigation.68,191 of 75,000 SignaturesCreated by Common Cause
