Debra Reid Kimbrough will be coming up for parole this year. On December 12, 2007, she shot and killed Howard Gene (Sonny) Kimbrough in the back while he slept. He was her husband. She took a plea agreement of Manslaughter, which carries a 10 year sentence, with an additional 10 years because it was a gun crime.

Transportation is one of the biggest costs with most people including myself. If I have more access to safe bike lanes I can ride my bike more, save money, and save the world. Triple win !!!!

Currently, items placed in recycling with labels are thrown away. Recycling is an important part of helping the environment and fighting climate change. We want to make sure that as many items as possible that can be recycled are recycled.

According to estimates from the Department of Defense, 19,000 service men and women are sexually assaulted while serving in the United States military every year. But 86% of them never report their assault—too often because seeking justice threatens their safety, their job security, and their future. Sexual assault and rape in the military are no longer view as gender specific issues, rather it is a abuse of power which we must put a stop to! It’s time to take action and ensure survivors of Military Sexual Trauma (MST) are not invisible and receive the justice they deserve. Survivors should never suffer retaliation for speaking up and rape, harassment or sexual assault should never be an “occupational hazard.” Only Congress can change the UCMJ to create a real, working system for prosecuting sexual predators in the military – and ultimately putting an end to Military Sexual Trauma.

The Electoral College is a broken system that favors unpopulated rural states over all others. The BPVC will give everyone a fair opportunity to make their voice heard.

We have been killing people all over the world (Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan to name a few) and now our government wants to kill Venezuelans. They've already said that Cubans and Nicaraguans are next. They do this in OUR names, and we do not accept this!

President Trump has lied repeatedly about his campaign's involvement with Russia in the 2016 election. We need to show that no one, not even the president, is above the law. Trump is a divisive president who is only looking out for people in his base, which is bad for the majority of the country.

Restaurants, bars, clubs, convenience, and grocery stores have no mandatory recycling rule in place and no incentive to start. I want to call on everyone who knows and cares about this huge and very important issue to help make it mandatory for any establishment that sells or uses glass bottles, paper products, cardboard or plastic bottles to recycle them. If there is any interest in something like this, then incentives can be created for these places of business to participate, fines can be established and issued to those who do not comply. Currently, the Capitol City of Wyoming has a very limited recycling program. Recycling is currently NOT mandatory. Yes, you read that right, NOT mandatory. This practice must end now and reasonable incentives need to be put in place to make compliance something that is not resented by targeted business establishments. Our future generations are counting on us to recycle. Otherwise, they will be mining our trash for resources like tin, and aluminum.

We need to stop the unfolding disaster in Venezuela.

Many people that make Yosemite special have been directly affected by the poor business practices of Aramark. Their blatant disregard for pillars of Yosemite's community is quickly degrading the value of this magical place and they should be stopped.

There are six outstanding women candidates running for president and Amy Klobuchar is one of them. We do not want to repeat history and have the New York Times and other media, once again, sabotage the chance for us to have one of these extraordinary women as our president.

The Endangered Species Act is our nation's most effective tool for protecting wildlife from extinction. It has saved some of our most iconic species from disappearing forever. The law works–but it only works if politicians let it. Wisconsin's junior Senator Tammy Baldwin has repeatedly introduced legislation that would do an end run around the Endangered Species Act and ignore scientists and biologists by kicking gray wolves off of the endangered species list. Most recently, she cosponsored an anti-wolf amendment to the Natural Resources Management Act–an important law that will protect public lands and reauthorize important conservation programs. The amendment that she cosponsored would remove Endangered Species Act protections from gray wolves in the Great Lakes. Thankfully that effort failed. But, she has introduced or cosponsored similar legislation or amendments that would delist wolves on multiple previous occasions. Legislatively removing protections from gray wolves puts their continued recovery in real jeopardy. Without these protections, states are free to set hunting and trapping seasons on wolves. We know from past experience that Wisconsin aggressively manages wolves and have every indication that the state would do so again. The damage extends to the Endangered Species Act itself. By allowing politicians to replace scientists in decisions around endangered species protections, Senator Baldwin is giving a green light to future politically-based assaults. Would she support slashing protections for other endangered species that big industry finds inconvenient? If not, she should not be attempting repeated rewrites of the rules for gray wolves. Please add your name to tell Wisconsin Senator Tammy Baldwin to protect wolves and the Endangered Species Act by ending her attempts to legislatively delist our gray wolves.
