Keep Green Mountain College OpenGreen Mountain College, “FIRST IN SUSTAINABILITY” has a well-deserved reputation as a leader in sustainability: https://www.greenmtn.edu/about/why-gmc/awards-accolades/ The entire campus is heated with a wood chip gasification technology to create steam that warms all the buildings. They can also use this steam to create their own electricity. It has a working farm complete with animals, greenhouse, and solar panels. The beauty of the campus, the student culture, and dedication to all the different aspects of sustainability would be a great loss for the town of Poultney and the region. It would also be a great loss to all the hardworking folks everywhere trying to save our planet. They also have some great masters degrees: Master of Science degree in Resilient & Sustainable Communities (MRSC) Master of Science in Sustainable Food Systems41 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Gene Wyatt

Make RI Superdelegates reflect the will of the people!The superdelegate process is undemocratic and allows for party leaders and insiders to undermine the will of the people. In 2016, we saw how the will of RIers was tossed aside as Hillary Clinton won the most votes, even though she overwhelmingly lost the election here in RI.116 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Our Revolution Rhode Island

St. Mary's Support Staff Deserve a Fair ContractThe 68 support staff employees who work in the St. Mary's public schools deserve a living wage and salaries and benefits comparable to similar jobs in surrounding districts. The school board's negotiations team has threatened to terminate them and to hire an out-of-town for-profit corporation. These employees are only about 3 % of the district's budget. These are our friends, neighbors and family members. Tell the school board to stop trying to intimidate these dedicated employees and to settle a fair contract NOW.990 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by Lucy Harlow

Medicaid coverage for doula care in South CarolinaSouth Carolina has a higher than recommended cesarean birth rate. Doula care has been shown to effectively reduce the incidence of cesarean birth, preterm birth, and maternal/infant mortality. Let's help make this care available to all women, regardless of their socio-economic status.367 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Jennifer Powell-Taschetti

Reject John Bolton's Attack on Travel and RemittancesPersonal experience increases Americans' knowledge of Cuba's culture, history and life today and provides opportunities to inform Cubans about the US. Whether we travel independently, in tour groups or on a cruise, we contribute to the economic well being of all Cubans. Our presence also fosters mutual understanding and encourages a positive natural evolution of bilateral relations and economic reforms. Candidates for President must make clear their opposition to regressive policies on Cuba and their views on consular policy, ending all travel and agricultural restrictions and repeal of embargo laws.362 of 400 SignaturesCreated by John McAuliff

Driver's License for All / Licencias de Conducir para TodosThe persecution of immigrants of color continues. Imprisoning people who do not have a driver's license is one of the tools corporations use to fuel the private prison business. Immigrants rights are violated and the Government ignores the social and economic contributions of immigrants. Americans value hard work, dedication to family and community. We ask for access to driver's licenses for all residents of Minnesota, so that immigrants can participate fully in the economy and community of the state. There are twelve states that make driver's licenses available for all residents of their state: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, Vermont, Washington State and Washington D.C. Approving access to licenses for all residents in MN would create a more just state where residents would not be persecuted, families and immigrants would be more protected, racial profiling would be reduced, immigrants would have the right to identify themselves, and we will reduce the business of private prisons. Allowing all immigrants to access a driver’s license will improve overall public safety. Minnesota benefits when we have drivers that are licensed and knowledgeable about traffic rules and regulations. Having Drivers Licenses for all Minnesota residents will benefit many businesses: Drivers will buy more auto insurance, so sales for insurance agencies will increase. Undocumented drivers will buy more cars, so car businesses will have more sales. Financial institutions will be able to finance automobiles so there will be more income for financial institutions. The possible income that the state of Minnesota could earn by approving approximately 100,000 drivers. Online driver training…………..$49.95…………………..$4,995,000.00 Learner’s Permit fee…………...$13.25…………………..$1,325,000.00 Driver's license fee……………..$25.25…………………..$2,525,000.00 Possible income…………………………………………….$8,845,000.00 Taxes revenue on car sales 6.5% of the value of the car sold. La persecución de inmigrantes de color continúa. Encarcelando personas que no tienen una licencia de conducir es una de las herramientas que utilizan las corporaciones para alimentar el negocio de las prisiones privadas, es inhumano la violación a los derechos humanos y que al mismo tiempo no reconozcan las grandes contribuciones de los inmigrantes. Minnesota tiene buenos valores y no queremos que sigan violando los derechos de los Inmigrantes por eso necesitamos el acceso equitativo a las Licencias de conducir para todos. Hay 12 estados que proporcionan licencias de conducir para todos los residentes de su estado. California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Mariland, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, Vermont, Washington State y Washington D.C. Aprobar el acceso a las Licencias para todos los residentes en MN ganariamos un estado más justo donde sus residentes no serían perseguidos, aumentaria la protección de las familias y los inmigrantes, reduciría el racismo, habría más igualdad , tendríamos el derecho a una identidad en estado de Minnesota, reduciría el negocio de cárceles privadas. Permitir que todos los inmigrantes tengan acceso a una licencia de conducir mejorará la seguridad pública en general. Minnesota se beneficia cuando tenemos conductores que tienen licencia y están bien informados sobre las normas y regulaciones de tráfico. Tener Licencias de Conducir para todos los residentes en Minnesota beneficiara muchos negocios: Los conductores van a comprar más seguros de autos así que las ventas para las agencias de seguros aumentará. Los conductores indocumentados compraran más autos así que los negocios de autos tendrán más ganancias. Las instituciones financieras podrán financiar automóviles asi que habría una economía más fuerte. El ingreso posible que el estado de Minnesota podría ganar por aprobar aproximadamente 100,000 condutores.
