• Not in My House: No SOTU
    Let Republicans howl as much as they want: Democrats need to keep attention on Trump's criminality and Republicans' complicity. Democrats cannot fall into a pattern of playing along and pretending everything is alright. Everything is wrong, and Democrats need to display the courage to draw attention to it, non-stop.

  • Stop the deportation of veterans and their families who have served honorable in the military.
    Any person who honorable serves this country were promised citizenship upon completion of their service. A person's family also serves when you serve in the military and should be given citizenship for their sacrifice.

  • Cancel 2020 State of the Union (SOU) Speech
    The decision of our U.S. Senate to not hold Trump accountable for his criminal activities will embolden him and Russia and will place our nation at risk. If allowed to speak from the only Chamber of our government that is holding him accountable, it will send a message to the world that our democracy has fallen. The world is watching us and we cannot be viewed as weak at this most critical time. We must press forward with taming our rogue President and the Republicans who conspire with him to destroy our nation.

  • Reinstatement of FCC Fairness Doctrine
    This doctrine, introduced originally in 1949, required holders of broadcast licenses to give airtime to discussing controversial matters of public interest and to give airtime to contrasting view points. According to the FCC, this kept broadcasters honest, equitable, and balanced.

  • Need to push diversity in the US Senate with term limits
    White Senators are using their power to make the rich, richer. They take Federal money and work against us ( the poor and the middle class). I would like this message to reach all Americans.

  • Tell the Democratic Party it isn’t fair that Iowa always votes first in presidential primaries
    Iowa is not demographically representative of the party or of the country as a whole. Yet election after election, Iowa voters hold outsize sway simply because they vote first. Presidential candidates spend months campaigning in Iowa instead of hearing from voters in other parts of the country.

  • Petition to Expand Composting on Campus
    Composting organic waste is one more way the University of Louisville (UofL) can divert waste from the landfill. Since 2013, UofL has been working to reduce its waste, and expanding composting will be the next step in this process. On top of this, composting will reduce carbon emissions created by our waste. When organic materials are thrown into the landfill, they are forced to decompose without oxygen, which produces methane, a greenhouse gas much stronger than carbon dioxide. UofL has stated that it is committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and composting is one solution.

  • Foreign Interference in Federal Elections
    Because the Republicans are arguing in the impeachment proceedings that actions taken by persons outside of the United States to influence Federal elections are not a crime and therefore are not impeachable offenses under the Constitution.

  • Tell Hoboken City Council to Oppose NJ Transit Fossil Fuel Power Plant
    I'm a Hoboken parent, my 66-year-old mother lives here, and I know many neighbors who this power plant would put at most risk; children, older adults, and people with cardiovascular, lung or respiratory problems. The NJ Transit Fossil Fuel Power Plant is a $546 million, 140-megawatt natural gas-fired project that would mostly be paid by a Superstorm Sandy Resilience grant. This is a huge contradiction. 1) The proposed site is an active flood plain, and the plant would become the 13th largest emitter of greenhouse gases in New Jersey, dumping 577,000 tons of Carbon Dioxide equivalent greenhouse gases annually. 2) Ironically, NJ Transit describes this plant as a resiliency project, but the greenhouse gas emissions from the plant would add to the chances of more climate emergencies like Superstorm Sandy. 3) There are cleaner solutions to the resiliency problems that NJ Transit wants to solve with this plant. Those solutions can deliver the same amount of power with much less risk to Hoboken residents – but NJ Transit has not explored them. Renewable technology alternatives – quickly becoming more cost-effective -- include zero-emission technologies like a solar-powered microgrid along with wind and tidal forces combined with battery storage. WHAT’S SO BAD ABOUT GAS-FIRED POWER PLANTS? - Gas infrastructure facilities can annually emit into the air hundreds of tons of pollutants including particulate matter, toxic chemicals such as sulfur dioxide, mercury, and criteria pollutants (such as nitrogen oxides which cause smog, acid rain and contribute to ozone production), some of which are known carcinogens such as benzene and formaldehyde which are known to increase the severity of asthma and other respiratory diseases. - Particulate matter, once inhaled, can affect the heart and lungs and cause serious health effects including lung cancer. - Long-term exposure to ozone is linked to aggravation of asthma, emphysema, and chronic bronchitis, and it is likely to be one of many causes of asthma development. - Long-term exposures to ozone may also be linked to permanent lung damage, such as abnormal lung development in children. Please sign the petition to prevent NJ Transit from building a polluting gas-fired power plant within 4 miles of Hoboken.

  • Snow removal for school kids
    Small children walk up and down this hill during the most brutal winter months, sometimes the snow gets so high their heads hit branches on trees. During the spring the snow turns in to ice, and can become extremely dangerous for anyone to walk on.
