The Bridge not WallTo Freedom and Democracy Welcome Caravan this is no WallThe Bridge not Wall to Freedom and Democracy and the Foundation of the USThis is about the basic principles of this country A Bridge to Freedom not wall For Immigrants and those coming to this country now from Central America. Lets forget the wall and build a Bridge. I have been an advocate of Human Rights and Civil Rights since the mid 50's when I was 9 years old Living in SC and was an Advocate of Civil Rights for Blacks and really all of us. I delivered speeches in churches down their on Unesco when if not bigger, It is about Human Rights and saving Democracy or now this is the best I can do I not have a staff or resources Bobby Cather (336) 223-6081 Google Voice I was about 12 years old. Yes, I got the hell beat out me but it did not deter me. I was active in the JFK Campain and used to say Fritz Hollings and I helped him carry that state. It was the last time they voted for a Democrat for President This, however, is just as big [email protected] This does not have to be my idea it is yours and the People of this Country who still know Democracy but it must happen fast I do not have the funds, Get Melissa Gates, Warren Buffet, Robert Reich and other of Wealth and Knowledge I am just a hick who’s ancestors help found this country, they were Irish Immigrants The Bridge not Wall to Freedom and Democracy and the Foundation of the US I have donated for over 40 years both time and walking precincts . I actually began in the late 60s and marched for Peace, Sandinista issues around Archbishop Romero and his prayer is one of my foundations, marched in Civil Rights issues in the South, stood in the trenches against Vietnam War, was active in California Politics where I worked as staff for the Senate my roll was much deeper than that, Even though the job title said one thing much went on behind the scenes to affect change. George Moscone was my best friend when he was a state senator and after when he became Mayor, I was friends with Jesse Unruh, Willie Brown, Cory and many other members as well as many news media reporters. My take now is an organized March to the border to greet our neighbor immigrants, with sponsors like churches Franciscan for example, but all who believe in the principles of Democracy. Our troops will not fire on them or American Citizens. This is also a chance for the youth of today to participate in a March like we had in the past. It is similar to MLK and the Edmund Pettus Bridge it is a way to welcome them to Democracy and put the plaque of the Statue of Liberty in Trump's face. As Jerry Brown of California said bridges not walls. Remember even Reagan gave amnesty please help to organize this. It is bigger than the Hispanic issue it is about Democracy and our Country , build bridges not walls. Take some of the money you have and organize this . Bring in President Obama, Michelle, and Folks like Neil Young, Willie Nelson , Kris Kristofferson, and so many others Unite Unite an quickly this can become a Unified focal point for Democracy. Invite and educate even the troops Under article 90 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice it is their duty to disobey an illegal order. This is not an invasion and with Civil Rights and Disobedience we not only win the elections but change the attitude of some American People who have been Hitlerized for the lack of words. I spent a lot of time writing this to you. Mine name is Bobby Cather our founding fathers were at Cornwallis surrender as well as the surrender of Lee. My family has paid for Democracy like yours and many others in blood. But the Goal is Peace we have a opportunity to work together and turn the tide of ignorance of Trump's, McConnell,Ryan, Grassley and all these mongers of hate. I doubt I beg you to to act fast make this happen in a way of some secrecy that it is upon them before it's too late. We can support and supply food, water, medical, and the Spirit of Freedom and Democracy as well as the UN. My Kind Regards [email protected]. Bobby Cather. I have one thing to say on this it's NIKE Time please just do it. This could be promoted in way almost like Farm Aid but a Bridge to Freedom and Change Greet the Caravan With food, water, shelters, medical, and welcome to the US on the principles of this country and Democracy found Even on the Statue of Liberty Have President Obama Promote and Participate,Michelle Obama, Carlos Santana,Musician and Singers in concert for the Caravan to greet them, Kris Kristofferson, Neil Young, Bob Dylan,Willie Nelson, Sean Penn Celebrities Like Alec Baldwin, Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski , Keith Olbermann,Rachel Maddow,Lawrence O Donnell.

Sonoma County: Prosecute Animal Cruelty, Not Animal Rescue58 nonviolent activists were swept up in a mass arrest by Petaluma police last month and charged with felonies for trying to give food and water to starving animals at the largest organic poultry producer in the nation. The farm owners yelled homophobic slurs, threatened to run us over with a truck, and were so aggressive that the police pulled out a taser to stop them from hurting us. Yet instead of addressing the animal cruelty at the farm -- or the threats and aggression of the farm owners -- the officers arrested dozens of activists, demanded $20,000 bail for each, and issued a press release falsely accusing the activists of violence. They also made mocking comments on social media in support of the industry and, despite promises to give the animals care, had all the starving animals killed. This abuse of the law cannot continue. Ask Sonoma County District Attorney Jill Ravitch to prosecute animal cruelty and drop the charges against nonviolent animal rescuers.6,002 of 7,000 SignaturesCreated by Wayne

Tell Donald Trump to CANCEL tomorrow's hateful, anti-immigrant speechDonald Trump likes to use inciting, incendiary language to target his political opponents. There are "criminals and unknown Middle Easterners mixed in" with an approaching migrant caravan, he tweeted, and they'd "better be stopped." This kind of language has already led to horror. Last week, a fan of Donald Trump and Fox News sent out a series of pipe bombs targeting political and philanthropic leaders for assassination. The most vicious and lethal anti-Semitic hate crime in American history was carried out at a Pittsburgh synagogue, by a shooter ranting about the migrant caravan. Instead of bringing the country together, Donald Trump has responded by throwing a match on the kindling. Again. Rather than tamping down on racial polarization and hate speech, Donald Trump is doubling down — pointing fingers, stoking fears, and inflaming passions. Tomorrow night, he will give a speech cracking down on the border and demagoguing against migrants seeking a safer place to live. There are already extremist groups talking about meeting the migrants on the border with guns and violence. This speech will push our country further toward the brink. Please tell Donald Trump: CANCEL this speech. A small group of refugees fleeing instability in Central America does not represent an existential threat to us, the strongest nation on earth. But forces of division, hatred, and violence might.9 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Matt Hildreth

Add your name to the demands from Pittsburgh Jewish leaders to TrumpThe massacre of 11 Jews in a Pittsburgh synagogue comes at a time when the Trump administration, the Republican Party and their enablers — at all levels — have fomented hate, fear, and white nationalism in our country. They have targeted the Muslim community, immigrants and refugees, people of color, people with disabilities, and LGBTQ people, and in recent weeks we have seen a marked escalation in their use of antisemitic images, rhetoric and conspiracy theories. The Trump administration, the Republican Party and their enablers have provoked violence against our communities. Our blood is on their hands. It is time to rise up together to demand our safety. We refuse to be divided. We refuse to be isolated from each other. We will outlive their hatred. Now, we're asking Jews and allies across the country to add your names to the demands of Jewish leaders in Pittsburgh who are rising up to demand the White House renounce white nationalism so we can all be safe.81,964 of 100,000 SignaturesCreated by Tammy Hepp of Bend the Arc: Pittsburgh

TRUTH IN JOURNALISM, NEWS MEDIA AND NEWS BROADCASTINGThere is a widespread deterioration of journalism, news media, and news broadcasting within Fox News and Fox News affiliate stations that is corroding the protections of the first amendment of the United States.

Second-look Sentencing LegislationDo you believe in second chances? Only those who have served fifteen years of their sentence are permitted to apply. Behavior in prison, list of academic or prison accomplishments, participation in job training, and other self-rehabilitation efforts will all be reviewed by a judicial panel. This would determine if the sentence will be decreased or even have their sentence reduced to time served.25 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Gina Newhouse

Oak Park Schools: Adopt a Racial Equity Policy & CurriculumRacial equity is about applying justice and a little bit of common sense to a system that’s been out of balance. When a system is out of balance, people of color feel the impacts most acutely, but, to be clear, an imbalanced system makes all of us pay. By immediately adopting a racial equity policy and curriculum, our school systems will create a greater balance that benefits all stakeholders.1,076 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Naomi S Leach

Put an End to Standardized TestingAs a high school student, it's not fair to let standardized tests determine my future, especially when tests are not designed for individuals with poor testing skills.
