• Abolish the Electoral College
    technically because the electoral college is so badly skewed, it is possible for a candidate to lose the general election by 10 million votes and still win the electoral college. It is a disgrace!

  • It’s time. Ban fracking now!
    Big Oil & Gas keeps trying to lock us into a dirty future powered by fossil fuels -- a future with more fracked gas power plants, pipelines, compressor stations, processing plants, and dangerous storage facilities. No thanks. The only way to a truly clean, renewable energy future is to ban fracking and to stop all new fossil fuel development. We need you with us to make that happen. Take action today!

  • Dress code
    Some people can't afford to go out and replace worn and torn clothing. I and every other student/parent can agree. When a child with a small hole in there Jean's above the knee walk in to a place of learning, it's not something an administrator should call out and get a parent riled up about. If a girl walks in with a crop top showing an inch of her midriff that she worked hard to provide for herself it is NOT an administrator place to call her parents and send her home. In all reality no one cares what a student is wearing. We are not wearing it to provoke anyone in any way. Sending home a child because of their clothes is an issue especially when counting them absent and provoking truancy.

  • Secure America's Federal Elections (SAFE)
    On February 11, 2020, Senators Ron Wyden (D-OR), Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and Mark Warner (D-VA) each attempted to introduce a separate election security bill through a 'request for unanimous consent' of the full Senate. The bills included the SAFE Act and two bills that would require campaigns to report offers of foreign assistance, including donations or coordination, to the FEC and the FBI. If a foreign government offers to interfere to help a campaign, Senator Warner chided, "the appropriate response is not to say thank you. The appropriate response is to call the FBI." Senator Blumenthal warned that after the Senate Republicans' acquittal of Trump, "There is no doubt that he will only be emboldened in his efforts to illegally enlist foreign governments in his re-election campaign." Under the 'request for unanimous consent' rules, only one senator need object. In this instance a Republican senator from Tennessee objected three times and quickly halted consideration of all three bills. In their defense, Republicans might say the Senate has already passed election security measures, which is true. $380 million was appropriated by Congress in 2018 to states for election security and another $425 million appropriated in the 2020 budget. (The House appropriated $600 million this year., but as talked about above the Senate won't pass it.) But Wyden counters, "Any bill that gives hundreds of millions of dollars to states without requiring that states use paper ballots, conduct audits, and follow basic cybersecurity standards, is a nonstarter . . ." Wyden continues, “America is 266 days away from the 2020 election, and Majority Leader McConnell has yet to take any concrete steps to protect our federal elections from hacking or foreign interference." He adds that refusing to take even the simple step included in one of the bills that would ban states from connecting their voting machines to the internet is like "stashing our ballots in the Kremlin." It's time American voters demand the SAFE Act be passed as soon as possible. Demand that adequately funded comprehensive election protections be in place and well functioning in time for this year’s election. With persistence and focused participation, perhaps we can – together – make this issue a public priority, a media priority and even -- perhaps grudgingly -- a Senate priority! A vision that should certainly be attainable in a country still referred to as the greatest democracy on earth. PS: Please share this information with your friends. If they do not want their names on the petition they can contact their senators by phone, mail or email by going to their websites found at this address: https://contactsenators.com/ Obviously, the more voices the better! Thank you for your participation!

  • Leave Undeveloped Lots on Cathy Lane
    We are a close knit community, who love to plan events. We would like to utilize this spot for large events so as not to require blocking off streets. Street blockages cause traffic problems and safety concerns. This space is centrally located in the neighborhood and is much more easily accessible than the “green space” in the back of the subdivision behind houses. In addition, WE LOVE GREEN SPACE. These lots are the only two TRUE empty lots left that could easily be enjoyed by everyone. We, the community, will beautify these lots and take control of the upkeep. This lot being empty will attract buyers who are more hopeful for grassy and green areas. Ultimately, Dr Horton will have happier residents and buyers- leading to better results on surveys from recent purchases of these lots are left open. This will be a major satisfaction factor for the people of this subdivision. DR Horton developers, please leave this land alone!

  • Tell Sen. Gardner to protect the Affordable Care Act
    March 23rd marks the 10th ANNIVERSARY of the passage of the life-saving Affordable Care Act (ACA). But today, the legislation that helped give thousands of Coloradans health care coverage is under attack. But we’re not going to let our elected officials like Senator Cory Gardner turn back the clock. The ACA has brought a world of difference to Colorado. Colorado’s uninsured rate dropped significantly. Insurers in the individual market could no longer drop, deny, or charge you more for coverage because of a pre-existing condition. That’s particularly important for the nearly 2.4 million Coloradans living with a pre-existing health condition. And because of the ACA, more seniors are able to afford their prescription drugs and some of the most vulnerable Coloradans gained health coverage due to the statewide Medicaid expansion. But 10 years after it passed, the ACA is at risk — and we need our leaders like Senator Cory Gardner to start defending it. Senator Gardner has repeatedly stated he would protect our access to health care, particularly for people with pre-existing positions. Instead, he voted four times to repeal the Affordable Care Act in the Senate and has done nothing to stop this reckless lawsuit. Sign this petition and tell Senator Cory Gardner to protect the ACA. Coloradans' lives depend on it and we won’t go back!

  • Boycott Fox News
    Fox News, because of the stupidity of the cable model, where consumers pay for channels they never watch, profits from the people they denigrate on a daily basis. If cable providers are faced with losing hundreds of thousands of subs, maybe they will move Fox News to a tier where only the people who want to receive the service will pay for it. That will significantly hurt how much money they make from subscription and from advertisers.

  • Reform The New Michigan Auto Law
    Several new sections written into the new law are going to have devastating retroactive consequences for current auto injury survivors that have been receiving care for many years. Several sections are going to make drastic negative changes in the way these patients are going to receive their care in the future. The New Michigan Auto Law makes drastic cuts to the reimbursement rates to almost every company providing services to current auto injury survivor’s and ones in the future. These cuts are as large as 50% and directed at small and large businesses in the healthcare industry. Currently, healthcare organizations make up 32 percent of the top 25 companies in the State of Michigan. These drastic cuts will lead to Michigan Healthcare Workers losing hundreds of thousands of jobs. The majority of small businesses serving auto injury survivor’s will be out of business. If you work or know someone who works for one of these types of businesses, you should be concerned about your future. Here’s an example of a few types of healthcare businesses that will be affected: Home Care Companies Case Managers Hospitals Rehabilitation Centers & Offices Attorneys Medical Supply Companies Doctors Offices Physical and Occupational Therapy Several other sections written into the new law address the increased liability you will now be taking on by reverting back to the tort system. You could now be responsible to pay another families medical bills resulting from a car crash for the rest of their life. Or you might have to go through the trouble of having to sue someone else to try and get your medical bills paid for. Either way is not good. Because of all of this increased liability, we are now going to have to carry a much greater amount of liability insurance that will increase our premiums and offset the savings from giving up our right to lifetime care for our family resulting from a car crash. Reforms are needed to the New Michigan Auto Law. Please sign our electronic form and show your support for reform.

  • Petition: Nominate Stacey Abrams as Vice President
    Southern state Democrats have been consistently left out of the Presidential campaign trail despite of these being some of the most diverse states in the country. Stacey Abrams is the most prominent national voice fighting voter suppression and advocates for our concerns, particularly affecting people in the South.

  • Class Action Suit - Health Insurance Companies
    Every day millions of patients with medical issues or patients who need necessary procedures are denied proper coverage by their health insurance providers. The patient/s are forced to use less effective drugs or go without due to the fact that they cannot afford the cost. My question is - under what basis do they have the right to tell you which drug or procedure they will pay for? The effective results are the insurance companies are dictating care and practicing medicine without a license. Insurance companies should not be allowed to lessen a persons quality and longevity based on their profitability. Every month the insurance providers take billions of dollars from consumers and then refuse coverage due to their desire to maximize unfair and exorbitant profits. Please help me be David in this David and Goliath fight!!

  • Dis-bar Attorney General William Barr
    Attorney General William Barr has falsely presented the findings of the Mueller Report to the American public, Mr. Barr has traveled to various other countries acting as an emissary for Donald Trump, President of the United States, and he has become involved in decreasing Federal sentencing guidelines for Roger Stone. We believe Mr. Barr is acting on behalf of the personal interests of President Trump and against the interests of the citizens of the United States who in this instance is his client.

  • Senators, censure Trump to restrain him
    Trump is running victory laps. He is ranting that the Senate acquittal vote proves that the impeachment business was phony, a persecution by his enemies. He is firing officials who testified against him, and deriding the Democratic leadership. In contrast, Clinton, who was impeached for lying to Congress about a sexual relationship with an intern, expressed shame and remorse. Trump must be made to understand that he did something wrong and can be held accountable, not just by Democrats but also by members of his own party. Whereas a vote to convict takes 67 senators, it only takes 51 senators to pass a resolution to censure. More than 4 GOP senators have said his behavior vis-a-vis the Ukrainian fund was (and continues to be) unacceptable. Recently, 8 GOP senators voted for the Iran War Powers Resolution, which says that Trump must have Congressional approval to start a war with Iran. Manchin’s Censure Resolution was introduced just before the final vote on Trump’s guilt, and was tabled at that time. The Senate may well be ready to pick it up again, in the light of his recent actions. Please sign and spread this petition to everyone you know who cares about the Constitution and maintaining our democracy.
