Our democracy is threatened by dictatorial tendencies in both Congress and the White House and it most important that Republican senators recognize and stand up against this since it is within their party that we see this happening.

The Green New Deal may be our last chance tackle what is certainly the most important challenge facing humankind, climate change. According to the IPCC report, we have a mere 12 years to cut fossil fuel emissions by a head-spinning 45 percent. We must treat climate change as a crisis situation.

I am starting this petition to prove to everyone that members of Congress can, and SHOULD, be people. Ordinary people, who laugh, sing, care for one another, and yes, DANCE. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has already proven herself on this issue, and as a proven multi-tasker I'm asking her to continue to lead by example, and bring some STEP to Washington D.C. Thank you.

I’m tired of feeling helpless in the face of tyranny. I’m tired of the rest of the world watching us and wondering why America isn’t doing anything to get rid of Trump. I’m tired of being bullied and attacked daily. I’m tired of being lied to.

Mr. President. It's 2019 time to lead by example and promote unity rather than devide" As a leader and example to others we should be building bridges instead of walls" Which reminds me of a story of two brothers living on a farms about a half mile from each other separated by a pond , they always got along for over 50 years , one day they got into a headed argument or disagreement over something meaningless and bad words were exchanged so they stopped talking to each other. One day a stranger who was traveling knocked on the older brother's door and said hi I'm a traveling Carpenter and I wonder do you have any work for me ? The older brother thought for a minute and said yes I do! me and my brother are not talking and he lives right across the pond from me and I never want to see his face again so you see those tree's over there" knock them down and build a 10 foot wall between us , I'm going in to the other town to do business I'll be back. When he arrived instead a a wall or fence the Carpenter build him a bridge and his younger brother saw the bridge ran over hugged his brother and. Said, after those bad words I said you still build us a bridge? So they forgave each other then they saw the old Carpenter walking away the brothers said hey Mr please stay with us a few more days I have more work for you " the Carpenter said NO thanks' I have more bridges to build for people. Therefore let us no longer create separation and divide confusion and hate and let us come together united as a great nation founded by people of all around the world and look for positive progressive transparent solutions to solving our immigration issues and many other problems here at home rather than hiding behind a wall" Mr. President TEAR DOWN THAT WALL!!! ( Jesus in disguised as the carpenter )

2018 was a hell of a year, and we, the people, need something fun and a little silly to look forward to this year.

The partial government shutdown has affected many employees across the U.S, who have gone for more than 2 weeks without a paycheck. Trash is overflowing at national parks, polluting the greatest nature in this country. And worse, President Trump plans to extend this shutdown for "months or years" just to get a big TRUMP wall on the border! We must act, and get Susan Collins, who has vocalized her support for a spending bill regardless of its border wall position, to vote "yes" on a spending bill to stand up to President Trump and end this government shutdown that has affected too many government employees and regular American citizens.

Federal employees, and the American people are fed up with politicians playing games with their lives. This nation belongs to ALL people. Congress and the White House needs to know who’s in charge - The People of The United States.

After Ald. Ed Burke was indicted for corruption, he stepped down as chair of the City of Chicago Finance Committee. Mayor Rahm Emanuel wants Ald. Patrick O'Connor to replace Burke. 1. City Council should choose the chairs of committees. 2. O'Connor engaged in reprehensible, racist attacks on Ugo Okere, a Nigerian-American candidate challenging O'Connor during an October 16, 2018 candidate forum.

Yes, ive seen inflation creeping into everything i buy more than the normal nominal amount. And i will put off buying a new car until the tariffs are cancelled. Our country is too good, people work too hard, for trump to hijack our entire country tohis personal narcissistic agenda! The trade tariffs are clearlymisguided with inadequate consideration given to peoples' needs. TRADE TARIFFS HAVE TO GO!!!

We believe that, in the name of political parity, the block containing Trump Tower be renamed to honor the 44th President of the United States.

Illinois has an incoming Governor who has promised to heed the research conclusions accepted universally by the entire scientific community and bring our state into the Paris Climate Agreement. But for years he has cuddled up to the fossil fuel industries responsible for environmental damage and human rights violations throughout the United States. As a 22-year old, who has grown up witnessing the increasing severity of human-caused climate change over the last two decades, I will not sit back and watch the only planet our species calls home be snuffed out by moneyed interests that only care for profit. You wouldn't be able to bear the thought of finding the right answer to the question of "What was the air like when it was breathable?" that your future children shall ask many decades from now.
