I’m tired of lying politicians and the crap they spew out there mouths n the cry babies who don’t get there way. I hope to set term limits for all government politicians and stop the corruption that has rooted itself in our government.

I’m from a rural town in Northeast Pennsylvania, and am pursuing a career in sustainable agriculture and community development. I have intentions of spending most of my adult life, working at least 40 hours per week, to help provide the food that we all need to survive, and the plans and mobilization for community development, that we all need to thrive. Yet, I realize, if things stay the way they are, I will likely struggle to pay my bills and then have to deal with the high stress and anxiety that so many in our country face every day. I, and many other like minded individuals, want to help society, and yet not all of us are awarded financial stability for doing the best that we can do. Something is wrong with that, and that is why I care to write this petition. I urge all of the Democratic candidates to reflect on the importance the presidency holds, while not ignoring the fact that it takes far more than one individual to run a nation and bring about systemic change for the good of all. Enormous amounts of time and money in this country are wasted in argument and competition, whereas conversation and collaboration can actually get things done in an efficient manner. I ask that you stop your campaigns momentarily, sit down and talk to one another, and come up with a team to try and take over the executive branch through the 2020 election. After putting together a team and rough agenda headed for the white house, your now pooled campaign time and money could be invested in community discussions on how the big change y'all are proposing is not going to screw over the working class. Through these conversations, your agenda and policies can be refined to reflect the needs of the working class, while gathering enough grassroots support to ensure their passage into law if you do win the election. Political decisions are determining whether my neighbor and I have access to healthy food, clean water, a roof over our head, and the ability to educate and better ourselves. Political decisions should be leveling the playing field and making sure each and every person, regardless of sex, race, origin, or belief, has an equal opportunity to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. For those of you who do truly wish to help the American people, I urge you to work with, and not against, your fellow Americans, to renew our democracy and put our valuable time and money into solutions and not into competition. Thank you for your time :) Some light readings for reasoning… https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-meaningful-life/201802/life-liberty-and-the-pursuit-meaning https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2017/04/14/somebody-just-put-a-price-tag-on-the-2016-election-its-a-doozy/?utm_term=.baf59143b58d

Not only is this charge unnecessary, but also disgraceful on behalf of the sheriff department! This was about a small child. How many men stop alongside the highway to relieve themselves without being charged with any type of citation? I'm sure the sheriff department has more pressing issues than a little boy having to use the restroom! A conversation would have been sufficient; and I'm sure the mother would NOT have done this if it could have been avoided. After all, they were headed to the restroom.

Damaso Alcaire was fired for uploading a ping pong team building video on YouTube so that he could share it with two of the participates. In order to share it, the site needed a link to a website. The policy dictates that no videos or photos of the companies' secrets, machinery, and or tooling should be taken or uploaded to sites outside of the network. Since, Damaso's video only shows a white wall and ping pong table, he did not violate any company policy. However, the company cited, violation of company policy, for the reasoning behind his firing even though no member of Human Resources or Employee Relations approached Damaso to get his statement; as policy dictates. Even more, others have been caught taking photos of the actual machines and are still present and happily working, because their supervisor's vouched for them; albeit violating policy. However, the supervisor brutality task force and their helpers operating on Damaso's shift decided to gang up, report him, and push for his firing after Damaso's supervisor asked him to check up on an assignment a member of the supervisor brutality task force was supposed to complete. Another issue the ego centered supervisor brutality task force had with Damaso was the fact that he was encouraging individuals in the work place to challenge themselves and apply to different positions within the company. The supervisor brutality task force was in opposition to Damaso's positive activity because they would lose good workers . They even went so far as to report Damaso to his own Supervisor, because of his encouraging work; which in turn his supervisor told him to continue doing what he was doing. Damaso has done nothing but create sports and outing events for the individuals in the company. He's started yoga classes and much more. He was in the process of becoming a supervisor. He's our activities coordinator, community leader, our family, and we want him back. We will not let, the supervisor brutality task force, destroy this good man's life.

Dozens of Trump administration officials—including recently-resigned DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen—were responsible for planning, implementing, and defending the horrific family separation policy. After these officials leave government, they shouldn't be able to take refuge in America's corporate corner offices and boardrooms. Children were torn away from their parents and placed in cages. It was an image the Trump administration hoped would send a message to migrant families heading north for asylum: if you come here, this could happen to you. The cruelty of the policy was matched only by the incompetence of its execution. Administration officials did not keep the records needed for reuniting families, nor did they properly vet employees responsible for looking after these children. Because of their negligence, children have been physically abused. Because of their negligence, children have been sexually assaulted. Because of their negligence, children have died. Their inaction and negligence did not happen in a vacuum. Senior members of the Trump administration let this happen and they should be held accountable, not rewarded.

In order to pay off staggering amount of student loan debt, debtors should be able to use pre-tax dollars to pay back government loans. The senate has proposed a bill to garnish wages to repay student loan debt with after tax dollars. Using a SLFSA will expedite and ensure loan repayment more effectively than wage garnishment and after tax dollars.

As involved and organized parents, our expectations were that Stafford would communicate using more than two methods (website & outcalls) to allow sufficient time to download, complete, and then return such application. This was not the case for the 2018-2019 school year and we ask that SMSD revise their communication methods.

Trump has lied to the American public long enough. It is apparent enough that his taxes conceal the crimes that Micheal Cohen has accused him of.

We need to face one of the greatest domestic humanitarian crisis that our country has seen since the Japanese Internment Camp post World War II and Segregation. Sadly, the approach of the 'resistance' has not been enough to face this crisis. We need to join non-profit local advocacy groups that are actually protesting at the border through a nationwide effort to take buses to the border. Currently, protesting at the border is much more dangerous than protesting in Washington. This is because the number of activists and the location of the protest is remote. Authorities currently have the power to punish local activists with felony charges - while protesters in DC get off with a slap of the wrist. The reason for this is lack of nationwide support for this issue. Yet - millions of people donated to Raices - a non-profit organization that helps people at the border. Unfortunately, Raices is limited in its power to stand up to the government's authority on separating children from their parents...thousands of which have gone missing. Active protest is needed even more than legal action. Mass bus protests to the south have a long history. Freedom Riders were civil rights activists who rode interstate buses into the segregated southern United States in 1961 and subsequent years to challenge the non-enforcement of the United States Supreme Court decisions Morgan v. Virginia (1946) and Boynton v. Virginia (1960), which ruled that segregated public buses were unconstitutional. If it were not for the support of people that went to the South from across the country, voting rights would never have been enforced in this country. We believe that this kind of mass mobilization is necessary today at the border. Join us now to support the movement to bus it to the border. Please note by signing you are not committing to marching on the border. We are in the initial stages of this effort, to see if there is any nationwide interest, beyond the groups that currently focus on this issue. Thank you for your participation!

We, concerned community members of Victor Ultra Omni, write in full support of Victor UltraOmni, a 21-year-old educator, organizer, thinker, and friend. As of March, Victor received multiple fully-funded graduate admissions from top Universities to pursue their Ph.D. This time, however, has been anything but celebratory. Pitzer College’s students, Campus Safety Officers, and especially their Dean of Students’ have subjected Victor to homo/transphobic and anti-Black violence. Victor came to study at the Claremont Colleges seeking refuge from such abuse, after first experiencing a litany of hate crimes at Hamilton College, where they began their undergraduate career. During their tenure at Pitzer, Victor has overcome recurring and nearly lethal institutional violence. Most recently, on March 8th, 2019, Victor received anonymous hate mail riddled with anti-black, xenophobic, homophobic and transphobic slurs from an account named “Trans Slayer.” Just the evening before, a Claremont Colleges Inc. unmarked Campus Safety officer, who was impersonating a police officer, followed and harassed Victor. The Dean of Students’ Office in collaboration with Corinne Vorenkamp, Pitzer College’s anti-Black part-time Title IX Coordinator, refused to investigate student retaliation against Victor. Mrs. Vorenkamp also further violated Victor’s Title IX rights by refusing to begin an investigation into Dean Sandra Vasquez’s institutional history of bias, particularly around anti-Blackness and anti-trans sentiment. Despite nearly a month of harassment, Victor is now under investigation by Pitzer College. The Pitzer Latinx Student Union fears retaliation for publicly supporting Victor, and has still not published a statement condemning the violent death threats and campus climate. Dean Sandra Vasquez’s retaliation has resulted in Victor being homeless, vulnerable to food insecurity, fired from both work-study jobs--effectively leaving them without income--and open to slander from students working in admissions, residence life, and Student Senate. We charge, The Claremont Colleges, Inc., especially Pitzer College, lead by the abuse of the current Dean of Students Sandra Vasquez, with failing to protect Victor and other Black and Brown trans students. In this political moment, we must be visible in standing unapologetically in solidarity with Black trans homeless youth-- often the most vulnerable members of the queer community. We write this with three concrete actions in mind. First: We demand a formal statement from Pitzer College condemning the anti-Black and trans-antagonistic acts their students have committed against Victor. By choosing to remain silent, Pitzer College officials and the larger community have made themselves complicit in the various forms of intimidation that Victor has faced. We ask that the Black Student Union and Office of Black Student Affairs receive a trans inclusivity training from the hosts of podcast Marsha’s Plate alongside the Transgender Law Center. We ask that the Diversity Committee, The Civil Rights’ Fund, and Student Senate’s Reserve Fund allocate parts of their budget for this training. Second: We call for the resignation of Pitzer’s Dean of Students, Sandra Vasquez. Not only has Dean Vasquez abdicated her responsibilities by ignoring Victor in their obvious time of need, she has violated Title IX and the California Safe Schools Act. Her career speaks to a lack of compassion, criminalization, dishonesty, and a lack of commitment to student life. Fueled by abuses of power and anti-Blackness, Dean Vasquez has sought to protect students actively retaliating against Victor Ultra Omni. Third: We ask that Laverne Cox cancel her commencement speech. Ms. Cox was selected as speaker largely due to Victor's work as Senate Diversity Chair. Pitzer has shown total apathy to the real needs of their Black trans students. We ask Dr. Laverne Cox, a pioneering community member, to stand in solidarity with Victor in holding Dean Vasquez accountable. We ask for Pitzer to implement Student Senate Bill R-55-03 to begin redress for trans students. We refuse to be silent when Black trans lives are threatened. We support the rights of all students to learn free from fear. We honor and support Victor in the face of anti-Blackness, anti-Latinx sentiments, and anti-TQLGB+ violence. We refuse to accept a world where some lives are deemed more worthy than others. Black trans lives matter and we demand Pitzer College hold its community accountable for this harassment and gross historical pattern of a failure to keep their Black students safe.
