Stop Coal-Lobbyist Bigot Andrew Wheeler From Taking Over The EPAAndrew Wheeler is a denier of the scientific consensus on climate change and a lobbyist for the coal industry. Before his appointment as Environmental Protection Agency assistant administrator, he held fundraisers for Wheeler hosted campaign fundraisers for top climate-denying Republican Senators John Barrasso and Jim Inhofe, both members of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works — the committee that voted on his nomination. That same committee is now considering whether to confirm Wheeler to replace corrupt climate denier Scott Pruitt as EPA Administrator. Pruitt left under a smoggy cloud of scandal—we need to prevent the cycle from continuing by stopping Wheeler. Wheeler's lobbying clients have included Murray Energy, the largest privately owned U.S. coal company, as well as Xcel Energy, a giant coal-fired utility group. Before that, he spent 14 years as a staffer for Inhofe. Before joining Trump's EPA, Wheeler spent time in between lobbying for polluters on social media, liking a racist image of former President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama on Facebook and retweeting infamous “Pizzagate” conspiracy theorist Jack Posobiec. As acting EPA chief, Wheeler is already rolling back rules on toxic coal ash and mercury pollution. We need to tell our U.S. Senators: stop Wheeler!1,126 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Brad Johnson

Trump's shutdown must be brought to an end now!We know of freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, because they are familiar, better legislated, and as always - excellently litigated than our right to, “petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” Federal workers, small businesses, park and border agents are not only feeling the pain of Trump’s shutdown - the longest federal shutdown in American history, our food and drug administration department can no longer inspect domestically produced meat, poultry, fish, fruits and vegetables. And neither can the USDA and the department of health, ensure the safety of foods and drugs coming into American homes because of Trump’s refusal to end this shutdown. We’ve had stories of military families struggling with mortgage, and federal workers not getting paid for now and the nearest future. Now imagine what will happen when food stamps runs out for ordinary Americans. This federal government shutdown by Trump must be brought to an end before it get worse! And the best you can do as an American, at this stage, is to show up in person, or pick up your cell phone and call your congressional representatives. Tell them, “the Congress doesn't need Trump to bring this shutdown to an end.” Tell them, “they, as elected representatives in the house, have the power to override Trump’s presidential veto, open the government, and take control of government spending, budget, expenses and allocations for the military.” My name is Abbey Laurel-Smith, I am in the race for NYC Public Advocate, February 26th, 2019. I am campaigning as the voice and the ears of the people. As an underdog, my chances are slim. But you can help me reach the threshold required for this office by midnight this coming Monday, the 12th of January, and we could all have a good shot at winning.

Remove McConnell as Senate Majority Leaderhttps://thehill.com/homenews/senate/424730-mcconnell-blocks-house-bills-to-reopen-government This government shutdown is entering its third week, and the employees who have been furloughed or working without pay since Christmas are suffering. Nevermind that this is about a nonessential “wall” or a “fence” or a “beaded curtain” that President Trump and the GOP claim will curtail illegal immigration (which it won’t, we live in the 21st century, a wall is not going to stop anyone that really wants to get through). Nevermind that this shutdown is affecting Homeland Security, including the TSA, which means our main points of entry are not properly secured and maintained (these entrypoints are where the majority of stops and arrests happen, because there are more modes of transportation than walking up to a border). Nevermind that this “wall of steel slats that is concrete but see-through” is now being described as a metaphor, and not some physical, actual, unnecessary wall (in which case, why do they need approx. 7 billion dollars?). This isn’t some “all or nothing” deal - the border security already in place is budgeted for; the democratic congressmen (and, hopefully, many republican congressmen as well) want to fund DHS and implement newer, more advanced security and have proposed funding for much-needed updates. This is not about border security or protecting the American citizens or some us-vs-them fight; this is about a supposed-leader who lets a few people on a “news” channel tell him what to do, and another man who is willing to sacrifice the stability of this country and the people within it in order to stay on the “good side” of the President. In summary, these men are weak and cowardly. Getting McConnell out of the way is the first step in getting this country back on track.218 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Jessy
