53,000 eligible Georgia voters may have their rights taken away -- we need to speak out now. Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp -- who is running for Governor this year -- has crafted yet another partisan voter suppression scheme meant to disenfranchise Black voters in Georgia. He’s already pushed to close rural polling places, and purged legitimate voters from the rolls. Now, he’s blocking 53,000 new voter registrations from being processed, which means robbing 53,000 mostly Black Georgians of their right to vote in the midterm elections . Under Kemp’s needlessly strict “exact match” rule (which most states don’t use), if someone moves or gets married and changes their name, their entire registration can be thrown out. These Georgians followed the rules to do their civic duty -- and Kemp is STILL trying to prevent them from exercising their constitutional right to vote. The right to vote and make our voices heard is fundamental to our democracy. Every eligible voter should have a say in the people and policies that determine the future for their families, community, and country. We’ve already seen how widespread outrage and activism can make real change in Georgia -- like when our efforts forced the local board of elections to keep each and every polling place in Randolph County open, despite threat of shutdowns. Now, we need a nationwide outcry to tell Brian Kemp -- stop suppressing votes, and let every eligible voter have their say.

As a community with such a deep history, we do not see the purpose to take part of our identity from us for the benefit of a few. With many Alumni who still have a deep connection to Avalon High School, this change will only have a negative effect for the community, and Alumni are proud of the efforts this school does for the community and by doing such a drastic change you affect the community you chose to remove and distance yourself from. Together we are AVALON HIGH; together we are WILMINGTON.

The IPCC just gave the world its conservative estimate that we have 12 years to do whatever we can to mitigate the effects of climate change before it's too late. And yet, Trump's nominee to fill Robert Powelson's vacancy on the five-member panel of commissioners at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is a pro-fossil fuel shill. Read his Earth Day op-ed for The Hill referenced in the petition to get a good sense of who he is. https://thehill.com/opinion/energy-environment/383605-this-earth-day-lets-accept-the-critical-role-that-fossil-fuel We just learned that the Senate is planning to move quick to get Bernard McNamee confirmed. His confirmation hearing has already been scheduled for November. We need to push hard on senators to reject this terrible candidate.

I’m a resident of Texas. I vote in every election that I’m able. I’d like to see Ted Cruz meet Beto O’Rourke in this format. I feel it would be an open, honest exchange and I’m betting that I’m not the only one.

Everyone should be entitled to proper health care. A person should not have to choose health care over food. Haing health care would be preventing maintenance of a persons health. I believe that whether you are young or old you deserve the best of care. A person should not be denied medical attention or medicine because he or she can not afford to pay. I know this can be done if we work together. The University of Alabama is number one in football. Why can't we be number one in taking care the need of our healthcare?

It is about revoking the tax exempt status of white-supremacist Richard Spencer's organization. Richard Spencer has promoted hatred and violence against Muslims, Jews, African-Americans, Latinx, LGBT and women. We need to put white-supremacist movements out of business. Remember Heather Heyer.

I am appalled to see children treated like criminals by US Government must stop.

Because I feel people could benefit from having a 3 rivers Co-op Natural Grocery Store in Huntington Indiana as soon as possible!

We, the qualified electors who reside in the City of Pittsburgh request the Mayor of the City of Pittsburgh to conduct a public hearing and post agenda to ensure that the role of the EORC is being adhered to. The purpose of the meeting would be to invite MWDBE certified contractors where they can present to the EORC their experiences in working with the City and Developers around MWDBE opportunities. At the meeting they can share the results of their bidding opportunities as being under contract as a MWDBE certified contractor. If not under contract, did they hear back from the General Contractor and/or Developer with the reasons for not being selected? When contracts and/or subcontractors win the bid, are they getting contracts equal to what is being reported by the City MWDBE Office?

Many of us here in Camarillo are passionate about ensuring that we are good stewards of this earth, and know how how important it is to reduce our carbon emissions, which are devastating to our home planet. Choosing a 100% default helps more people and helps our environment.

Eric Blankenstein was put in charge of supervision, enforcement and fair lending at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. That means part of his job is making sure that financial companies do not discriminate in lending. It is absolutely unacceptable that someone promoting racial animus, can continue to serve in government, much less be responsible for protecting the public against lending discrimination.

Enbridge, a major pipeline company, wants to build a new tar sands pipeline in Minnesota. This 300 mile pipeline would put our water, climate, and communities at risk. Governor Dayton has a key role to play in protecting Minnesota from the impacts of yet another tar sands pipeline. Tell him to stop Line 3! We don’t need more pipelines, and we can’t build more if we are serious about tackling climate change. We need more renewable energy solutions that will safeguard the planet now and for future generations.
