This is not only an ongoing issue worldwide, but it's neglected foremost. Child abusers-Pedophiles come from all walks of life. It's usually those who hide behind the cloak of normality and respectability within our communities who are the worst offenders of all as they will thrive on this respect and the control over their victim(s) in knowing that they can convince many others that the child is lying and/or looking for attention. Accusers are out on the streets still living a normal life, while these families are living with a life sentence that they had done to them. It is not these children's secret to keep but only the perpetrator monsters secret to try and protect. The memories of abuse will always, every day of the child's life, affect them. Children will be affected for the rest of their lives. Nightmares, not sleeping, bed wetting, therapy, full body medical exams, bloodwork for HIV and Std's; these poor babies. These pedophiles need harsher penalties, monitoring, full-term convictions, not plea bargains.

Shut down ACS and DCF. The fact is we don't need them. We have police for this.

I believe we are on the verge of being too late to save our environment, so every minute counts!

This shutdown is wrong and dangerous to the American People and Economy. Mitch McConnell is incompetent and should do his job or step down.

To force out the government shutdown and impeach the president.

It is shameful that our government officials are happily taking their own paychecks (and even raises) while 800,000 government employees are working without pay or not working at all.

Our democracy is threatened by dictatorial tendencies in both Congress and the White House and it most important that Republican senators recognize and stand up against this since it is within their party that we see this happening.

The Green New Deal may be our last chance tackle what is certainly the most important challenge facing humankind, climate change. According to the IPCC report, we have a mere 12 years to cut fossil fuel emissions by a head-spinning 45 percent. We must treat climate change as a crisis situation.

I am starting this petition to prove to everyone that members of Congress can, and SHOULD, be people. Ordinary people, who laugh, sing, care for one another, and yes, DANCE. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has already proven herself on this issue, and as a proven multi-tasker I'm asking her to continue to lead by example, and bring some STEP to Washington D.C. Thank you.

I’m tired of feeling helpless in the face of tyranny. I’m tired of the rest of the world watching us and wondering why America isn’t doing anything to get rid of Trump. I’m tired of being bullied and attacked daily. I’m tired of being lied to.

Mr. President. It's 2019 time to lead by example and promote unity rather than devide" As a leader and example to others we should be building bridges instead of walls" Which reminds me of a story of two brothers living on a farms about a half mile from each other separated by a pond , they always got along for over 50 years , one day they got into a headed argument or disagreement over something meaningless and bad words were exchanged so they stopped talking to each other. One day a stranger who was traveling knocked on the older brother's door and said hi I'm a traveling Carpenter and I wonder do you have any work for me ? The older brother thought for a minute and said yes I do! me and my brother are not talking and he lives right across the pond from me and I never want to see his face again so you see those tree's over there" knock them down and build a 10 foot wall between us , I'm going in to the other town to do business I'll be back. When he arrived instead a a wall or fence the Carpenter build him a bridge and his younger brother saw the bridge ran over hugged his brother and. Said, after those bad words I said you still build us a bridge? So they forgave each other then they saw the old Carpenter walking away the brothers said hey Mr please stay with us a few more days I have more work for you " the Carpenter said NO thanks' I have more bridges to build for people. Therefore let us no longer create separation and divide confusion and hate and let us come together united as a great nation founded by people of all around the world and look for positive progressive transparent solutions to solving our immigration issues and many other problems here at home rather than hiding behind a wall" Mr. President TEAR DOWN THAT WALL!!! ( Jesus in disguised as the carpenter )

2018 was a hell of a year, and we, the people, need something fun and a little silly to look forward to this year.
