  • Healthcare Workers Need Protective Equipment Now
    I’m a nurse in Alaska. Nurses and other healthcare professionals are on the frontlines of fighting the COVID-19 outbreak and caring for our patients, but we're running out of personal protective equipment (PPE) in states across the nation. We don’t have the right kind of N95 respirator masks to keep us and you safe. We don’t have enough ventilators to keep the very sickest patients alive. We don’t have the ear or the attention of the president, who make promises and then walks away does nothing. This is scary. Our job is to treat and care for people, and we will not leave our patients behind. If we run out of equipment, healthcare providers and the patients we care for will die. Let's be clear: If we get sick and if people die, it’s because policies that go all the way to the top have failed us. We should have been producing the needed respirators, masks and ventilators long before this. The administration should have taken the outbreak seriously when it started three months ago. And the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention keeps lowering the guidelines for healthcare workers to be safe; the CDC just said that we can use bandanas as masks. The CDC is putting my life and the lives of other nurses at risk by telling us to use scarves rather than producing enough masks that will keep us safe. And it’s not just respirators, masks and ventilators we’re running low on. Hospitals are reporting shortages of gowns, gloves and other PPE that we need to keep ourselves safe as we care for the sick. Trump has said he’ll use the Defense Production Act to make masks and tests, after weeks of us pressuring him, but he has not said he’ll use it to ensure there are enough ventilators to keep patients from dying. And he’s still not releasing the stockpile of PPE that he has, which could fill the gap until enough n95 masks are made. Here's what we need right now: • The administration must make the production of N95 respirators and other PPE a top priority. • The President must use the Defense Production Act to make ventilators for patients. • The federal government has a stockpile of personal protective equipment, but has released less than 10 percent of the stockpile: We’re still running low. The federal government must release more of it immediately to keep us safe. • All healthcare workers should have immediate, free access to being tested to ensure that we are safe and not endangering non-infected patients. • The federal government needs to stop watering down guidelines that keep us safe. The minimum standard should be N95 respirators. Telling us to use bandanas puts our lives at risk. Will you please help us by telling the administration that we need this now.

  • 90 day mortgage relief for CA
    We are currently experiencing a worldwide crisis leaving a huge percent of the workforce out of work. Small businesses are suffering and facing bankruptcy. For the majority, their ability to bring in money has been forcefully removed. A large part of our population have no options to bring in compensation during this time of forced isolation. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Now is the time for Governor Newsom to follow his wise ‘stay at home’ order with a wise ‘90 day mortgage relief’ order.

  • Relief for independent businesses during crisis
    Most commercial real estate in most cities is held by holding companies and very wealthy individuals that can more easily weather economic instability than their tenants, who are usually so busy creating jobs and providing goods and services they don't have time to accumulate cash reserves. BOMA represents building owners, and includes a PAC with lobbyists and is better organized than tenants, and more able to apply for and receive federal dollars. They have it in their strength to organize their members to suspend rent payments for April, 2020, and allow small businesses across America to survive. Without relief to small businesses, many will close, and the unique and resilient culture that they bring to their communities will die as well.

  • Investigate Senator Burr and Friends for SEC Violations
    No one should be able to deal in the stock market with insider information. Not a senator, nor any of his/her friends. Ever. People must release information that can disrupt markets in a timely fashion to the whole public - not just a select few.

  • Tax the wealthy
    The new and very essential stimulus payments to Americans will put a significant strain on our federal deficit and long term debt. The vast wealth of the high tax bracket and top 1+% of American taxpayers can best afford to keep our federal economy and government financial health from further decline. No one likes to pay taxes,
