Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is once again abusing his power, siding with his corporate donors and obstructing what the vast majority of Americans want. His target? Net Neutrality. Earlier this month, the House of Representatives passed the Save the Internet Act with a bipartisan vote. It's a clean, simple bill that does just one thing: restores Net Neutrality nationwide to ensure a fair and open internet. Now, the bill is supposed to head to the Senate for an up-or-down vote, but McConnell won't even give it a fair shot. He's blocking any action, claiming it's "dead on arrival in the Senate" -- even though a bipartisan Senate majority voted last year to restore Net Neutrality. In our 21st century democracy, everyone needs access to the internet. But without Net Neutrality -- the baseline principle of equal treatment online -- huge companies like Verizon and Comcast can intentionally block, slow down, or charge money to allow access to specific websites and online content. And Big Cable companies know they have Mitch McConnell in their pocket. In the last election cycle, McConnell received $99K from Comcast, $66K from Verizon, and $49K from AT&T -- so it's no surprise that he'll use his position to do their bidding and kill this bill. We need a nationwide outcry in support of the Save the Internet Act. Add your name now and tell the Senate to give the bill a fair vote!

Nevada is one of the worst states when it comes to recycling! Over the years we continue to be substantially behind other states when it comes to our recycling progress and processes, we have yet to maintain our 25% recycling rate that was set back in 1991. We must take action now and implement methods like Rethink, Reduce, Reuse, to safeguard not only Nevada's future, but the Earth's as well.

Calling for the firing of Fox News reporter Laura Ingraham for Nipsey Hussle funeral commentary.

Pimps can get off with fines or probation not alerting people to the true dangers of a pimp. PImps also have a high recidivism rate which means the current system is not working.

The President said he wants a Protector (His personal Roy Cohn) as Attorney General. That's why I conceived this petition in order to protect the Justice Department from becoming an arm of the White House.

I'm a desperate mother lost in the corrupt system. My children are in foster care waiting to be adopted like a litter of puppies. They are trying to terminate my rights. I've done everything they ask, jumped through their hoops, and it still wasn't good enough. I'm still keeping up on my child support payments, visiting my babies as much as they will let me, and working my Perm Plan. I have a job and a 3-bedroom apartment for them. They are using the fact that I have no support system; my children's father, husband of 10 years, was my support system but they said I couldn't have any contact with him because he wouldn't communicate with DCS. Now DCS has filed a TPR on both of us after he started working his plan. Our children were taken due to domestic violence, but it was complete hearsay. There was absolutely no evidence, but they took them anyway. My babies have been gone for three years. Please let me reunite my family. 👪 Thank you for each and every signature.

According to the Texas monthly, there are approximately 1.68 million undocumented immigrants residing in Texas. i was born in the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas where there are over 200,000 undocumented immigrants that have fled from the dangers in Mexico in attempt to start a better life in the U.S. Many of these people, once they complete high school or college, they are unable to get a job based of their status in the U.S. Seeing these people work hard on a daily basis nonstop and then watching them leave back to Mexico is heartbreaking. But if they were to be granted the status based off of their hard work and effort and proof of wanting be a good asset to the country. If done like this, it would be a great common ground for both the Liberal and Conservative standpoints.

Gun violence affects every individual directly or indirectly. Every moment we remain idle and refuse to address the gun violence epidemic in the United States is a moment that lives remain at risk. Senate Bill 7 is a first step in ending gun violence and protecting lives.

As an alum of the University of Tulsa, I am concerned that the changes recently announced will undermine the quality education for which the institution has been known, ultimately resulting in the loss of future students and funding.

Proposed land-use changes are inconsistent with the preservation of natural resources.

Take The Pledge To Defend The Water Of 40 Million People The water of over 40 million people who live in Arizona, Nevada, California, and Mexico is in extreme danger. Last year, the Bureau of Land Management began issuing permits to energy companies to drill for helium and ‘other carbon resources’ in the Holbrook Basin, after ignoring 80,000 citizens’ complaints. Shortly thereafter, a grassroots organization, NoFrackingAZ, was formed to fight against this irresponsible action. The State Land Department has now begun leasing lands to fracking companies. This January, two State Representatives, Myron Tsosie (LD7) and Walt Blackman (LD6), introduced an anti-fracking bill to the State Legislature, only to have it die in the Natural Resources, Energy and Water Committee, when its Chair, Gail Griffin, decided to not even give it a hearing. Equally unfortunate was Rep. Blackman’s caving to pressure and rescinding his co-sponsorship. More alarming still is the EPA’s intention to gut the Clean Water Act, removing all but a few sources of water from its protections. The proposed rule change, ‘Revised Definition of Waters of the United States,’ would make it impossible to fight against fracking based on protecting our water supplies, since most of them would no longer be protected. In light of these frightening developments, No Fracking AZ is presenting the following pledge, which we hope all those concerned with our collective future will sign: The Anti-Fracking Pledge of Resistance By adding my name to the list below, I publicly pledge to take part in a diversity of effective acts of resistance to stop the use of hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking,” to extract helium or any other “carbon resources” (i.e. oil and natural gas) according to the following points of unity. We define ‘Resistance’ as a shared commitment to fight fracking by non-violent means. Points of Unity I agree that hydraulic fracturing, aka ‘fracking,’ is environmentally unsustainable, socially irresponsible, and an attempt by multinational oil and gas corporations to make a quick buck at the expense of rural people and healthy natural ecosystems. I agree to resist hydraulic fracturing operations and those organizations that enable them, including: PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES: Logging and bulldozing associated with the construction of infrastructure; the actual construction of infrastructure (well pads, compressor stations, pipelines, treatment plants, etc.); high volume water extraction from local waterways and ponds (This water is mixed with chemicals and injected underground during the actual process of hydraulic fracturing.); seismic testing, drilling, fracking, flaring, and the construction of toxic ‘brine pools’ or ‘flowback pond;’ reckless waste disposal methods (deep well injection, the spraying of well brine on roads, the dumping of flowback water into local waterways, the burying of toxic ‘residual waste’ in municipal landfills, etc.) LEGAL, POLITICAL, AND LOGISTIC ACTIVITIES: Manufacturers that supply raw materials; transportation operations that move raw materials, equipment and waste; land leasing, forced pooling, and the law firms that support these agreements; financiers, engineering firms, and subcontractors that perform critical support work; colleges and universities that invest their endowments, do research paid for by the gas industry, and censor research critical of fracking; any bureaucrat, candidate, politician or political party office that continues to enable the industry. I will show solidarity with all others resisting the effects and spreading of fracking operations by contributing to a diverse campaign of community building, legislative resistance, and direct action. I will determine my own level of participation, whether it takes the form of engaging in constructive dialogue with fellow community members, speaking out at hearings and meetings, participating in community building events and trainings, taking part in direct action events, etc. I am committed to pushing for more effective intervention in the natural gas industry by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ), etc. I will also advocate for renewable energy sources of any kind, such as wind, solar, geothermal, etc. as an alternative to fracking becoming a national energy extraction priority. Hydraulic fracturing for helium or natural gas is no more of a responsible solution to fossil fuel dependence than mountain top removal coal mining, off-shore drilling, or the tar sands distillation megaprojects in Canada. We stand together against the manipulation of our communities to further this destructive, nonrenewable resource boom.
