We KNOW what will happen: The Democrats in the House will find plenty of evidence of trump's treason, corruption, and crimes, and vote to impeach. The republicans in the Senate will vote to acquit. The result - trump will come out of this feeling that he is totally above the law, his damage to the country will only get worse, others will do what trump has gotten away with, and by hook or by crook he will win in 2020. We have to stop trump now. The republicans are all about money. I say lets hit them where it will hurt them financially. Please join me in signing an online pledge not to do holiday spending until trump & pence are out of power. Let's scare the hell out of the money interests that have so corrupted our country!

Insuring that the whole country gets to see and hear the full impeachment hearings so that public opinion is a fully informed one. Our democracy is at stake.

Kentucky is my home. I was born, raised, and still live in Kentucky. As a proud Kentuckian, I strive to make my home a better place for all. Because of that, I like many others, cast my vote in every election and make my voice heard. When I voted this November, I was proud to cast my vote in a fair election and excited that some of my friends were running for various positions. While I was upset that most of my slate didn’t win, I still respect that Kentuckians made their voices heard and the candidates that won, won the election fair and square. I respect these public servants and their respective offices enough to know it's unhelpful for Matt Bevin to go around questioning the will of the people of Kentucky. Andy Beshear was the better candidate for Kentucky and won as a result. It's as simple as that. We aren't here to question the wins of Democrats or Republicans. We are saying though, to respect not only Governor-Elect Beshear and the seat, but also to respect Kentuckians and their voices. I started this petition so we can get to the business of setting our bipartisan leaders up for a successful transition. Please sign and share this petition to send a message that Kentuckians have spoken and Matt Bevin needs to concede.

Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert, the Head of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) and special representative to Iraq, should step down and apologize to the Iraqi protestors, who are demonstrating peacefully for weeks against their corrupt government and are still facing an atrocious crackdown from the Iran-backed Iraqi government. Hundreds are being killed every day by sarin gas or live bullets, and thousands of others are injured.

Kelly is a 23-year-old transgender asylum seeker who has been locked up in immigration jail for nearly three years. Kelly is suffering medical neglect and was put in solitary confinement for four months solely because of her gender identity. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has the power to release her immediately but refuses to let her go. Kelly is suffering tremendously, both physically and mentally. Additionally, her unnecessarily prolonged detention is exacerbating the trauma she has experienced as a domestic violence and human trafficking survivor. During her nearly three years in detention, Kelly has never been given a bond hearing. All Kelly wants is to live safely and without fear. Unfortunately, there are many more transgender individuals like Kelly who are unjustly locked up in immigration jail while they apply for asylum, and are experiencing inhumane treatment because of their gender identity. Kelly needs your help. Sign the petition to demand that ICE use its discretion to #FreeKelly now!

If Trump gets his way, 9.2 million acres of the world’s largest intact temperate rainforest could be destroyed. With your help, we can stop this attack on one of our nation's most iconic wild places. But only have until December 15th to take action!

Methane pollution standards are basic safeguards that help keep our planet livable. Even Shell Oil and other industry producers think they’re common sense. But Trump and Wheeler are trying to create loopholes to benefit their polluter friends at the expense of our climate by recklessly rolling back these protections. We only have until November 25th to take action. With your help, we’ve fought back Trump’s plans to slash our bedrock environmental protections before. But we need your help again to fight Trump’s latest giveaway to Big Oil polluters.

By passing the PAW and FIN Conservation Act we can ensure endangered wildlife have the protections and support they need to survive and thrive. But Congress will only act if they feel pressure from constituents like you.

Currently, Texas A&M- San Antonio only provides an online course for MGMT 4371 -Entrepreneurship: Business Plan Development. This should be allowed to be an option for students, especially since this is a 400 level course. I have also heard of several students dropping the online course due to the learning experience being limited and unsuccessful.

Congresswoman Katie Hill became a victim of revenge porn. Earlier this month, conservative blog "RedState" published nude photos of Rep. Hill and one of the staff members of her campaign, with whom she admits to having had a consensual relationship. Since then, rightwing publications have been using the photos to create a misogynistic and homophobic campaign to humiliate, abuse, and discredit the freshman Congresswoman. In other words, as one writer puts it, "RedState and its rightwing compatriots have brought the tactics of domestic abuse into our politics." What Hill did--having a relationship with her employee--was inappropriate. What the people who published her photos did was criminal. That's why she is pursuing legal action against those rightwing outlets that distributed her photos without her consent. While "revenge porn," or nonconsensual distribution of intimate images, is illegal in some parts of the country, there is no federal law directly prohibiting it. In light of the horrible public abuse Rep. Hill is going through, Congress must pass a bill it has been sitting on for months called SHIELD--or Stopping Harmful Image Exploitation and Limiting Distribution Act of 2019. While Rep. Hill's story is shaking Washington and the media, will you tell Congress to pass the SHIELD Act to help make sure no one suffers what Rep. Hill has

Last week, multiple videos and photos showed police officers tasering, tackling, holding down, and in some cases punching Black and brown people in the subway. This is the result of an overly aggressive and unjust fare evasion crackdown by Governor Cuomo and the MTA, which has primarily targeted Black and brown people in low-income communities. And it comes on the heels of the announcement that the governor and the MTA intend to put 500 more state police—without body cameras—into the NYC subway system. As part of the crackdown, NYPD officers have been stationed in large numbers outside of train stations in low-income, Black, and brown neighborhoods. This comes as no surprise, as it follows the pattern of Black and brown communities across the country being surveilled, targeted, and subjected to police abuse and excessive violence. But this excessive use of force by the police in the subway must stop immediately—which won’t happen if Governor Cuomo and the MTA move forward with their current plans. In one image, police officers draw their guns on a young Black man in a crowded subway car for presumably having evaded a $2.75 fare. In another, an officer is holding down a young Black man who has been tasered. We should not taser or arrest someone for failing to pay a $2.75 train fare. We do not need more state police with less accountability patrolling our subways. What we need is for Governor Cuomo and the MTA to stop criminalizing poverty and to stop trying to raise money for our dilapidated train system on the backs of low-income communities and communities of color. We need Governor Cuomo to take the funding planned for hiring 500 new officers and invest it, and millions more, in fixing our broken train system and making it more reliable and accessible. The subway is the lifeblood of this city and we need it to work for the millions of low-income and working class riders who rely on it every day to get to work, to school, to the doctor and back home again.

We lost a great man who gave New Mexico a great name because he was representing us around the world with his positivity and willingness to spread love and positivity so effortlessly.
