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.

I work with nonprofit organizations that are committed to helping people become voters in Tennessee. Their work makes our state stronger and should be applauded—not penalized. All legislators should vote NO on SB0971/HB1079.

CU's student body is overwhelmingly progressive, and Mark Kennedy's record proves that he will not represent our collective interests. Here at CU, we value inclusion and diversity. We support LGBTQ students and staff members. The University of Colorado is the crowning jewel of the state's university system, and we will not let it be spoiled by a man who has regressive and discriminatory values. Kennedy has not earned this prestigious position, and should not be trusted in overseeing our education. It is both absurd and upsetting that the regents have allowed him to make it this far in the selection process. Records do not lie: Mark Kennedy is categorically unfit to hold the office of the presidency.

Jacksonville City Ordinance Section 656.331. – Agriculture and General Zoning has requirements that if livestock is housed on your property, then the animals must be kept within 200' of the property line. There are some lots, that although zoned residential rural, are not even 200' wide. Due to this and as a result of a complaint of a neighbor could force me to remove my 5 goats from my property, which I have owned for more than 6 years. I personally grew up in the area and have owned my property for more than 21 yrs. The neighbors have lived in the area less than 2 yrs. The goats are housed, fed, vaccinated and in a very secure pen. They are not a nuisance and are very domesticated. We have grandchildren, friends and their children and grandchildren of friends that absolutely love our goats. I'm asking each of you to sign this petition in support of us, that Jacksonville City Zoning in Duval County pass my application for the variance request in order for us to keep our pets.

Veterans March announced that a call of action has been activated to bring awareness and to seek justice in the Potter V. Homes case in Waldron, Scott County, Arkansas. Jane Westbrook, vice president of Veterans March stated that the call of action is necessary due to the actions of Judge David H. McCormick Judge David H. McCormick, 15th Judicial Circuit, Division 2, against a 89 year old Korean War Veteran who served in the Marine Corps and Army.  The judge has never served his country in the military service and has shown disrespect towards veterans in other matters. "The case is a miscarriage of justice and a directed harm against all veterans who fought for our rights and freedom.  When a judge is aware of forgery and fraud in the case and a active federal investigation and for the judge to refused to allow the evidence to be admitted case a dark cloud upon the integrity of our judicial system." Veterans March is demanding that the United States Department of Justice seek a federal court order to stay the orders of Judge McCormick until the federal investigation of forgery and fraud has been completed.  The judge has set a date of April 20, 2019 as the date to auction all property belonging to Fred Potter, (JusticeForFredPotter.com}.  Not to do so will cause irreparable harm and a continuance of fraud upon the court. Federal court stays are rarely done against a state court.  However, there is president, case history, and supreme court rulings that allow such action. Furthermore, Veterans March is calling for veterans to rally around the country in support of the action and to show support for Fred Potter.  In Arkansas plans are underway for the "Arkansas Walk For Veteran Justice" coordinated by veterans organization: Veterans Walk in Solidarity. Read the McCormick Report: https://justiceforfredpotter.com/investigation-reveals-serious-violations-by-judge-david-h-mccormick Veterans March is also encouraging that citizens in Arkansas to contact Kyra E. Jenner, Assistant U.S. Attorney, Western District of Arkansas to demand that their office file for a federal court stay in this case.  They want everyone to mention that she has president for seeking the stay a since she is conducting a federal investigation and with the auction set for April 20, 2019 irreparable harm will be forthwith. Kyra E. Jenner, Assistant US Attorney, cell:  (479) 221-2613, office: (479) 783-5125  email: [email protected]

Democracy is dying. It died a little on 6/3/17 when Trump's administration jailed Reality Winner using the Espionage Act denying her a fair trial. She had turned over evidence to the news media showing Russia was hacking into our voting machines. Trump was lying at the time saying "no Russian Interference.

This is to voice our concern with such an early start date to the school year!!!

80% of herds are lost in some regions due to poachers trying to kill them and scaring them off from their family. This is concerning because of the alarming rate of extinction for this species. No species should endure the capture and torment these elephants go through.

The time has come for the Democrats to PLAY HARDBALL. Donald Trump and his administration are ignoring the rule of law. It IS time to issue subpoenas. It's time to tell the Sergeant at Arms to take Mnuchin and others who refuse to comply into custody. Congress HAS the inherent power to deal with contempt and it is time to EXERCISE THE POWER. We the people are TIRED of their stalling, blocking, and arrogance.

I am starting this petition to end police brutality and help protect POC (people of color) including myself by letting the police know that they cannot get away with murder. The African American community largely affected and as a POC and a Muslim this needs to stop and our fellow POC's need protection as well.

I, like other concerned Americans, believe that the Attorney General appointed by Trump, AG William Barr, isn't representing the American People properly and with political bias that has jaded his decision making abilities to the point of being totally partisan.
