Hester Jackson-McCray made history in November 2019 with her 14-point win over a Republican incumbent. Jackson-McCray will be the first African-American to represent DeSoto County in the Mississippi state legislature and she will be only the third African-American to represent a majority white legislative district since Reconstruction. That history is at risk of being erased thanks to Republican efforts to overturn the election results. Ashley Henley, the GOP incumbent defeated by Jackson-McCray, has made unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud and is asking the Republican-controlled Mississippi House of Representatives to vacate the election results and install her instead. This is straight out of the GOP playbook. Suburban DeSoto county is changing and, like many suburbs around the country, it’s turning more progressive. Hillary Clinton beat Trump there in 2016, Democrat candidate for U.S. Senate, Mike Espy beat Republican Cindy Hyde Smith in 2018, and in 2019 voters chose Democrat Attorney General Jim Hood in the governor's race. Instead of competing fairly, Mississippi Republicans are attempting to overturn the will of the voters in a state with a notorious history of voter suppression. We can’t let them win.

Glyphosate is a carcinogenic herbicide with multiple million dollar settlements awarded to patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. We are against ever having any Hope Ranch employee or subcontractor, paid with HRHOA dues, purchase or use the toxic product known as Round Up. The potential risk to our employees' health, litigation liability and the danger to residents health is at stake. Run off into the creeks and oceans is of concern when used on common areas, and therefore easily tracked into our homes and passed on to family, pets and wildlife. Please sign the petition to let the Hope Ranch Homeowners Board know where we stand. Thank you.

Too many Americans are needlessly suffering from psychological disorders such as depression, PTSD, anxiety, and substance dependency. Science has proven that these drugs show great promise in successfully treating the above disorders, often with just a single treatment. Rescheduling these drugs would be the first necessary step toward a future where the number of our Veterans committing suicide, individuals with depression, anxiety, addiction are greatly reduced. Thank you.

Because my family was taken from me due to an argument that I had with a CPS worker who was not even my worker I didn't even have a open CPS case and placed my children in foster care and not with relatives of mine and it's more families out there that are losing their children due to false information given by CPS workers they have the power to say whatever they want and do whatever they want when it comes to families and their children especially if you are a low-income family and that's not right

The Senate is poised to fail on the best opportunity of the year to end unconstitutional U.S. participation in the genocidal Saudi war in Yemen, by passing a Pentagon funding bill that doesn't end the war. Bernie Sanders and Ro Khanna and Elizabeth Warren are OPPOSED. https://twitter.com/justfp/status/1206375503248019461 Urge the Senate to vote NO on the Trump NDAA that doesn't end the Yemen war.

Parents and families need to be able to get to work before 8:30 am. With Sandburg Elementary being a "late start" school with doors opening at 8:25 am, families need an option to be able to drop their children off in a safe, supervised environment, as early as 7:30 am. Tell the district that we need them to provide a sustainable before school childcare solution to support children and families in the Sandburg Elementary attendance area. To date, the Madison Metropolitan School District has not offered before school care or paid adult supervision to ensure the wellbeing and safety of children.

My dogs are my children, they are my ohana, and they mean the whole world to me. We have formed an unbreakable bond and the pack has not been the same since we were all separated. The Kona Humane Society broke the law, lied to police, and lied to me about my dogs whereabouts. They intentionally tried to keep my dogs from me, despite them being registered as emotional support animals that I have had for the last 13 years of my life. Every day gets harder to live without Keebler, Ayda, and Remedy and we all need to be reunited as soon as possible! Please sign my petition and share it with your friends.

Imagine if, before a trial, one of the jurors said they had already made up their mind about the case, and that nothing could change their decision. They’d immediately be thrown out by the judge -- and rightly so. But that’s exactly what Senator Mitch McConnell just told Fox News -- saying he’ll coordinate with Trump’s lawyers throughout the trial and that “there is no chance the president is going to be removed from office.” Our senators are supposed to serve as fair and impartial jurors during impeachment trials -- carefully weighing the facts, upholding their constitutional duties, and acting in the best interest of the American people. But Mitch McConnell is trying to rig this trial the same way he has tried to rig our democracy. By publicly making up his mind before the trial has even begun, he has shown a flagrant disregard for his duties and for the rule of law. Our system relies on separation of powers between branches of government -- but McConnell is essentially handing Trump a blank check to do as he pleases. Our democracy cannot stand if our representatives refuse to put their country before their party and hold lawless presidents accountable. And any senator who cannot uphold this crucial constitutional duty is not fit to serve the American people. Add your name to condemn Senator Mitch McConnell -- and demand he recuses himself from President Trump’s impeachment trial.

For the leader of the Senate to openly and arrogantly claim that he, as a juror, has no problem collaborating directly with a defendant's counsel is not only an abuse of power in itself, it completely violates his own oath of office to defend the separation of powers as defined in the articles of the Constitution of the United States. Congress has its own independent authority. It does not work for the White House, nor does it belong to any particular political party. Supporting this notion is exactly the reason why three separate branches of government were established by our Founding Fathers and why they must maintain oversight of one another. If the White House can simply refuse oversight and obstruct Congress, while those within Congress openly allow this simply due to party loyalty, then We, as a republic, are doomed to become that from which our nation's founders fought to liberate us. If our congressional leaders refuse to defend the Constitution, then We, the American People, regardless of our political affiliations, must do so ourselves. You can watch Sen. McConnell speak about his planned total coordination with the White House counsel in his own words here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbsLMNLo9Kc

Article 5 of UNDRIP states clearly that indigenous people “have the right to maintain and strengthen their distinct political, legal, economic, social and cultural institutions” which includes their languages and their names. 2019 been the International Year of Indigenous Languages is a United Nations observance in that aims to raise awareness of the consequences of the endangerment of Indigenous languages across the world, with an aim to establish a link between language, development, peace, and reconciliation.

After 9/11, the CIA detained and tortured — including beating, chaining to the ceiling, locking in coffins, and waterboarding detainees to the brink of death — over 100 Muslim men in “black site” prisons around the world. That period is a stain on human history. While Congress authorized a full investigation, the resulting full, unredacted 7,000-page CIA Torture Report has yet to be released to the public. Until we know the truth, there is no way to achieve full justice for survivors and victims of CIA torture and detention. Worse, there is also no way to make sure it will never happen again. Will you urge your members of Congress to release the unredacted CIA Torture Report to the public now?
