The Supreme Court is taking a dangerous swing to the hard right politically. We have seen Citizen's United passed, the weakening of labor protections, and women's rights are in extreme danger. It is time to send a message to Congress and the President that the American people want a different direction.

Citizens to Protect Oakmont is a volunteer-led group working to protect Oakmont from oil and gas drilling in our community. Last year, CPO and Food & Water Watch succeeded in installing a pending ordinance that would protect our community from the harms of Oil and Gas Drilling, but now Oakmont Borough Council is looking to enact an ordinance that could open up Oakmont to oil and gas drilling in residential areas. We need to push Council to reject this ordinance and amend to increase setbacks, eliminate the Borough exemption and provide for all Oil and Gas Infrastructure in industrial zones only. Council will be voting to adopt these changes on October 9th unless we take action to have our voices heard.

I have been unable to reach Mitch McConnell for over 2 years because his voice mail is full. I used to be able to reach someone at the Kentucky number but not the DC number. Now, the voice mail on both phones is full. I have emailed him to give him my thoughts about his full voicemail, but have gotten no response. I am very frustrated by his unwillingness to hear from the people he represents.

We are concerned with reports that White House counsel Don McGahn, leading advocate to confirm Kavanaugh, has directed the FBI not to pursue the facts wherever they lead. There is a clear conflict of interest if it's true that the White House is dictating unreasonably narrow terms of an investigation into their own nominee. In addition to the serious allegations of sexual assault and misconduct by Kavanaugh, this is also concerning because his testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee last week was replete with the evasive and deceptive responses of someone with something to hide. If he mislead Congress and the American people, we need to know. Kavanaugh's troubled relationship with the truth has been a pattern for years. He denied involvement with controversial Bush Administration matters during testimony in 2004 and 2006 as a Bush White House official. Records indicate he was not being fully candid. Furthermore, his 2004 and 2006 testimony that he did not know or even suspect that Republican Senate Judiciary Committee staff stole confidential information from Democratic Committee staff files in 2001-2003 is difficult to square with documents that recently surfaced indicating he received this information from the staffer at the center of this scandal. If Kavanaugh wasn't truthful about those things, it's reasonable to wonder if he's being honest about excessive drinking to the point of blacking out, constant partying, and to doubt his overall temperament to be a judge on our nation's highest court. Sign the petition demanding the White House and Senate immediately make public the directive given to the FBI so we can understand the scope of the Kavanaugh investigation, and allow a full and fair FBI investigation. This petition was authored by former White House Special Counsel for Ethics and Government Reform Ambassador (Ret.) Norman Eisen.

District Attorney Faith Johnson is caving to the outrage of a lynch mob. Six black kids are the target of this hatred. We demand that this vigilantism end immediately The District Attorney’s Office recently announced that it will seek to try the teens accused of car theft and robbery as adults, after the victims demanded “aggressive” retribution and organized more than two thousand people in Dallas around one goal: trying and locking up children as adults. Vengeance doesn't work as criminal justice policy. And it is not going to make our community safer. We know that kids tried as adults are more likely to commit new crimes, commit them more frequently, and commit more violent offenses than kids treated like the kids they are. Children are fundamentally different from adults. Research shows that kids who commit even serious crimes can and frequently do grow out of intransigent behavior as their brains mature. It is not a matter of leniency - youth need a system designed to rehabilitate youth. DA Johnson’s decision is not about justice or community safety. Rather, it is about obeying the demands of those who have the power and social capital to demand we throw away the lives of children. If these children were rich or white, would the outrage be as swift and the demands so damning? It is District Attorney Faith Johnson’s job to recognize and follow the course of action that protects everyone and best serves the interest of our community, not to respond to the demands of her rich constituents at the expense of black children. Racist mob action has no place in our justice system. D.A. Johnson must do her job and take a principled, common-sense approach to community safety, one that treats children like children. We demand that D.A. Johnson withdraw her motion to transfer these children to adult court.

Concerned citizens request government review and permit rejection of Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway’s proposal to build and use additional train tracks and temporary and permanent bridges across Lake Pend Oreille, Sand Creek, and Sandpoint, Idaho, and thus significantly, adversely impact public and environmental health and safety.

My petition is about the animal cruelty involved with Calf Roping. "Calf roping include paralysis from spinal cord injuries, severed tracheas, as well as broken backs, necks, and legs" according to Wikipedia. People are injuring innocent baby cows for entertainment purposes.

Switching from straight Medi-cal to Managed Medi-cal in rural counties especially, has made accessing necessary out of network specialists, services, and expensive treatments and equipment harder for severely disabled patients. In Tuolumne (and many other rural California counties) there are not enough primary care physicians and specialists to adequately serve all the people in Tuolumne and the surrounding rural counties. Primary Care Physicians that except Medi-cal have become scarce. Resulting in PCP’s that do accept Medi-cal to have bigger patient loads than they can adequately care for. The Tuolumne Me-wuk Cedar Road Health Center has had to limit their doctors to 20min time slots for each patient. Which is more than enough time for a patient just needing a medication refill for something like blood pressure meds, but not nearly enough time for a very complex disabled patient like myself. Even having appointments at least once a month, there’s only time to treat the most urgent needs. Due to being restricted to only PCP’s taking Anthem Blue Cross Managed Medi-cal, I’m limited to very few doctors. I’m not even able to go to a bigger surrounding cities like Modesto, as they have their own Medi-cal system. Sonora Adventist is bragging about their Rural Health Clinic and talking about expanding it to other surrounding counties. What they don’t say though is that the waits to see a lot of the specialists are quite lengthy even if the need to see the specialist is very urgent. For example their nephrologist only works at the Forest Road Rural Health Clinic every other month for only HALF a DAY! That’s not nearly often enough to adequately treat all the local patients in need. My PCP put in an urgent referral and the soonest appointment was over 6 months out, just for an initial consultation. Patients that have private insurance can see these specialists much sooner at their main offices where they work many more days then at the Rural Health Clinic. Medi-cal patients typically can only see these specialists when they work at the rural health clinic which is typically only one or two times a month at most. Anthem does everything them can to delay referrals to specialists especially out of network. Anthem stopped contracting with Stanford about 2 years ago. I’ve been to both UC Davis and UCSF which are in network but neither had specialists that match my extremely rare disease process. Stanford is the only hospital in Northern California that has experience in treating the different aspects of my extremely rare disease process. Complex medical conditions qualify patients to be released from the restrictions of Managed Medi-cal. My application to switch to straight Medi-cal was denied. My appeal of this decision was denied by the California Department of Health Care Services. The judge, Steven V. Alder, ruled that Anthem Blue Crosses Managed Medi-cal health care plan could adequately cover my needs. In over 6 months since the hearing, Anthem has constantly blocked my physicians requests for desperately needed equipment, medications, and the same referrals we’ve been trying to get through for over 2 years now. I no longer have time to fight and wait on Anthem to approve these necessary services or to go through the appeal process to get straight Medi-cal for the 4th time in just over 3 years. My parents and I should be focusing time on making memories, NOT spending multiple hours a day almost every day fighting for the services I need and not really ever getting anywhere. I think rural counties, like Tuolumne county should either switch back to just straight Medi-cal or make it much easier for very complex patients like me to be able to be exempted from Managed Medi-cal programs, like Anthem Blue Cross.

This petition is being started to help students at ECU be the best and most comfortable while being on campus and in class. By having these dispensers in the academic buildings, it makes feminine products more available then just being handed out at one point on campus.
