A major donor to the Republican party was just awarded a $400 million contract to build part of Trump’s racist, dangerous, ego-driven border wall — even though the Army Corps of Engineers had said the bid didn’t meet their standards! So why did they get the contract? Because Trump personally and repeatedly lobbied the Pentagon on their behalf — conduct so unusual for a procurement process that it alarmed military commanders.  We have to call this what it is: abuse of the president’s office for a calculated partisan purpose. Sound familiar? That’s because the impeachment inquiry has made the same determination on Trump’s actions with Ukraine!! This cannot continue. We must DEMAND Congress investigate Trump’s continued abuse of power immediately! Tell the U.S. House of Representatives to investigate Trump’s role in rewarding a Republican party donor a $400 million border wall contract!

Because this man has sat 13 years ,set to be beyond life ,for the Collin Counties corrupt work group within the court. THE GOOD OLE BOY SYSTEM is wrong. The transcript stated she, the alledged victim crawled in bed on a rainy night on her step fathers side of the bed and touched him inappropriately. He was asleep and assumed it was his wife until he touched her than realized it was the alledged victim in which he told her to leave the room. This incident was discussed and was never an issue until Mr. Roper slept with his former wifes best friend and wanted a divorce. The rainy night incident was than made into the case in which he was wrongly sentenced. He was sentenced as a habitual offender to two life sentences, when he had never had any other charges. The DA used the dismissed charges as a previous charge to secure an indictment and conviction, when the dismissed charges were the same incident not indicted used to show a pattern of behavior that was manufactured to railroad this man.

My petition is to target or change the laws or legislature with the child support laws and paternity issues within the state of Tennessee. I’m a victim of paternity fraud,I thought that I was the father of a child and signed the birth certificate and later after the fact discovered that I wasn’t through dna testing through a legal approved facility. I have filed numerous petitions and spent thousands of dollars in legal fees and nothing was changed or done about this situation. Also I’m still paying arrears on the case and the said child is an adult now and the courts or judicial system will not acknowledge the paternity test and that the child is not my child or stop the arrears on the case. I’m not able to obtain a passport or travel out of the country due to this infraction or issue. It’s unfortunate and unfair for myself to have to continue paying support for a child that is not my biological child and also have to be punished for unfair and impractical legislation and child support laws that are in place in the state of Tennessee. I know that I am not the only male that suffers from this issue or problem and I ask that something be done to correct the issue and process and change the law or laws in the state of Tennessee pertaining to child support and paternity cases. Sincerely, Derrick A. Arnold

The New York Times has broken the news that consultants from McKinsey—a global, corporate consulting firm that holds contracts with numerous government agencies—were complicit in fueling Trump's vicious anti-immigrant agenda. Not only were they willingly paid to collaborate in the development of an inhumane and illegal set of policies, they made recommendations that even made ICE officials uncomfortable—all in the name of separating, detaining, and deporting more immigrant families. The Trump administration's immigration policies are a stain on our nation's soul. The House of Representatives, which is already investigating the family separation policy, should specifically investigate the role of McKinsey consultants; how much they were paid; what expertise they brought; what recommendations they made; and how many other federal contracts they hold. We need Congress to take measures to cut all ties to McKinsey and other consulting firms that benefit so richly at taxpayer expense. Congress must ensure it will no longer fund inhumane policy proposals to punish immigrant families. #DefundHate

Thanksgiving weekend alone, eight high schools around WI were terrorized and the police used deadly force. School shootings cannot be normalized and we must hold our elected officials accountable! Jim Sensenbrenner (WI-5) and Gelnn Grothman (WI-6) take corporate PAC money from the NRA. We must let them know that the voice of their constituents, the people they are supposed to be representing, is more important than the cash bribes they take from the NRA. We must get corporate money out of politics and if they don't agree, we will vote them out!

I’m starting this petition to remove president Donald Trump from office because he’s an extremely extremely rude person and a liar and an asshole. He makes fun of his colleagues and targets Muslim people for no reason. I’m adopted from another country and just the thought that if I wasn’t adopted at the time I was I might not have been in the country and with my wonderful parents friends and family and same goes for my other Colombian adopted friends. He doesn’t care about people’s race, color, background, he cares about himself. Something needs to be done about him and his behavior it’s just not how anyone especially our President should act around and twords other people.

It's time to end the failed war on marijuana and allow safe access for suffering Iowans who could get relief from marijuana. It's also time to stop ruining lives over a harmless plant.

The American Academy of Pediatrics does not support random drug testing in schools. We are encouraged to see the Google document shared by Principal Wright. We look forward to working together to fulfill and expand upon the present and future work listed. We ALL care about our children/students and we are on the same team. It is time we start working together as such.

1/24/21 Senate Republicans know that Trump deserves to be convicted , but they are still frightened of crossing Trump and his base. Only 17 GOP senators are needed to convict, and the Minority Leader, Mitch McConnell, has told his caucus to vote their conscience. A secret ballot would allow them to do this. The senators are not only witnesses to the insurrection, they are also victims, being forced to flee and hide for several hours. Trump's speech to the mob of his supporters is public, as is his subsequent message "We love you, you are special". His months of whipping up the alt-right to believe that he actually won the 2020 election is public, as is his encouragement of the motto, "Stop the Steal". “The mob was fed lies,” McConnell said on the Senate floor on the last full day of Trump’s presidency. “They were provoked by the president and other powerful people. More and more evidence is coming to light that he or his staff was in touch with the leaders of the crowd, and helped them to plan; also, that he was behind the slow response of law enforcement, especially of calling up the National Guard. The Senate will convict Trump, if they are allowed to vote by secret ballot. Please sign and disseminate the petition: https://sign.moveon.org/petitions/senate-vote-on-trump And write to Senate Majority Leader Schumer asking him to introduce a motion for a secret ballot. Charles Schumer (D- NY) www.schumer.senate.gov/contact/email-chuck Dear Senator Schumer, Please introduce a motion to have the verdict on Trump’s guilt or innocence determined by secret ballot. This is customary in jury trials. It would give GOP senators the right to vote their conscience, rather than giving in to the pressure to vote the party line for acquittal. Our democracy is on the line.

Most people I know from the Park Ridge area, including myself, have been pulled over in Park Ridge at least once for various reasons. As 20-year-olds, my friends and I can say without hesitation that the Park Ridge police department looks for younger drivers on the road and will pull them over and know that they can write them up and give them a hard time. It’s rare to drive through Park Ridge Town without seeing flashing lights and someone pulled over and it’s time that the police start to serve and protect its citizens instead of targeting them.
