Signatures speak, possibly louder than protest.. if Moscow Mitch and Putin get their way Rusal will have economic leverage but even worse, that company, will be covered just like any US person/company meaning the US government cannot surveil or gather intell. This is Rusal’s intent — a Russian intelligence operation With that being said if this company, Rusal, is allowed to continue infiltrating the American project, a project that if tampered with enough can fail. It’s time to take politics out of the equation including Democrats and look at where our taxpayer dollars are going and who’s salaries we are paying. As long as this business deal stands and continues Full steam ahead we are in essence conspiring to aid, finance, and provide unvarnished access to the enemy and guaranteeing and endorsing the worst and most evil corrupt criminal political acts.

Arizona is the 4th most incarcerating state in the Union and by these actions is destroying families and communities. • We need to stop thinking that punishment is the solution to the problem. • We need to stop spending billions of dollars warehousing humans. • We need to begin investing in all the things that can make criminal behavior less likely. • We need this committee to be bi partisan, equally represented by Republicans and Democrats. Our incarcerated community is not only living in inhumane conditions but also suffering from the lack of medical care, nutritious food, programs and education, incentives for an earlier release. Our prison system does not offer a true path of restorative justice. For true reform to occur, the Department of Corrections need to provide education, programming and vocational training for ALL incarcerated people, not only for those that are close to be released.

To remove the brick bearing Donald J. Trump's name from Pioneer Courthouse Square.

Chicago is embarrassed to have a criminal and liar's name front and center in beautiful Chicago. It would be more tolerable to have President Obama from the great state of Illinois as part of the street address, to not only honor President Obama, but to take away part of the shame that the last name Trump brings, as he will likely be in prison in 2020.

I am a father and a brother and a husband and the suggestion should be they raped by a family member it should be shrugged off as no big deal, is offensive beyond belief. It is time to put the entire GOP on blast to take a stand on King. EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM.

I am starting this petition because Senator John McCain will always be a better Man than the current occupant of the White House. I believe renaming this strip of busy street in New York’s Midtown area will be a great reminder of what a True American Patriot really is.

One of the biggest present threats to our democracy is gaining serious traction -- thanks to secretive, wealthy special interest groups like the Koch Brothers’ American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC). These far-right groups are spending big and wielding their influence with state lawmakers, demanding they vote to call an Article V Constitutional Convention. At this unprecedented event, unaccountable and unelected delegates could propose ANY amendments they want to our Constitution. That could mean gutting environmental regulations... rolling back civil rights advances… or even shredding our First Amendment protections. We need to show our lawmakers that we’re paying attention -- and we won’t let them gamble with our rights. Add your name now to defend our Constitution.

In the aftermath of the Gilroy mass shooting Mayor Sam Liccardo of San Jose observed, in a press release, that "[w]e require motorists to carry automobile insurance, and the insurance industry appropriately encourages and rewards safe driver behavior...[S]uccessful public health models inspire a similar 'harm reduction' approach for firearms." See http://www.sanjoseca.gov/DocumentCenter/View/86243. Mayor Liccardo proposed a firearms regulation ordinance for the City of San Jose, CA, based on the “harm reduction” model. This approach to firearms regulation should be applied to the entire state of California so that: *All firearms owners in the state will carry liability insurance, or will pay a fee, by which the state will defray the public costs of firearm violence in the state. *There will be a state sales tax on gun and ammunition sales, which will help fund gun safety classes, gun violence prevention programs, and victim assistance services for survivors of gun violence in California. *The State of California will explore a consent-to-search program for juveniles, which would allow parents to consent to have local law enforcement search a juvenile’s person or their property. *The State of California will create a program that would offer cash rewards to anyone who reports someone who possesses unlawfully-obtained guns or weapons.

And what about aquí — “here” ?

I host a Dementia Support Group. All spouses that have lost their life partner struggled to check the box for Widow when they were filling out official documents. It added negativity to the already painful grieving process.

We are a group of hundreds of ordinary, concerned constituents. Even though we have been to the representative's office 6 times over the past few weeks, his staff could not even tell us his position on current US policy on family detention in border camps. Rep. Lynch has even voted to give unfettered funding to continue operating these camps. We have also called on Rep. Lynch to push for Impeachment hearings, which he continues to oppose, and to hold a town hall to meet discuss these issue with his constituents during August recess.

The Trump administration just leveled yet another cruel attack on immigrant families with its heartless "public charge" rule—and it's up to Congress and the courts to mitigate the damage. The Department of Homeland Security's newly-finalized regulation is nothing more than a "wealth test" on immigrant families who are seeking a healthy, stable feature in the US. It means that means that if you aren't white and wealthy, you aren't welcome in the U.S. And it goes into effect, it would separate countless families. If this rule is implemented, families will be forced to choose between health care, food and homes, and a safe, stable future in the U.S. because using basic safety net programs—like SNAP—could threaten their pathway to a green card in the future. This is a blatant attempt to create a backdoor administrative family separation policy, and it would virtually close America's doors on anyone who isn’t white and wealthy. The best way to build a strong country is to ensure that the families who live here—who are woven into the success of our communities—have the tools they need to thrive. Congress has the power to take the teeth out of this cruel plan by refusing to allow federal funds to be used to punish people for taking care of their families.
