Any issues that happen in this country- the buck stops at the Supreme Court, from surveillance to torture, to the Presidency itself- Bush v Gore, are strongly affected by the courts. We'd had a conservative court for decades, then Bush v Gore continued the conservative lifecycle, and McConnell took on the role of Senate and President, refusing to schedule hearings because he knew Obama's nominees would be confirmed, and the process of the democratic republic would be fulfilled.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents are continuing to commit abominable violence against immigrants and people of color. Despite this, ICE’s budget for immigration detention and enforcement has jumped by almost a billion dollars in the last two years through a combination of reckless spending and secretive transfers of money. And now they’re at it again, trying to get a special increase in funding for immigration detention in the short-term funding bill expected to be passed by the end of the month. There is no question that this money causes tremendous harm in the hands of an agency responsible for deaths and widespread sexual assault in detention, violent raids, the separation of thousands of families, and more. We can’t allow ICE to continue manipulating the budget process as they violate basic human rights. We are committed to protecting our communities from the terror of Trump’s deportation force. We call on Congress to stop the special funding increase for detention and not allow ICE and CBP to manipulate them into increasing their funding.

Ivy Tech facilities should provide a variety of spaces to encourage learning and participation in and out of the classroom and teaching lab. The TC building deserves a permanent, professional space devoted to the needs of the students.

Our petition is to request that American Airlines reconsiders the decision to cancel the direct flight from Port-au-Prince to New-York starting November 3, 2018. Cancelling this flight will affect millions of travelers on the North-East coast traveling to Haiti. Also, it eliminate price competitivity for all travelers on the circuit Port-au-Prince/New-York. We need American Airlines to remain present on this route.

In spring and early summer, hundreds of thousands of voters signed a petition supporting a ballot a measure to increase Michigan's minimum wage to $12 per hour and to phase out the subminimum tipped wage. On August 24, the Board of State Canvassers voted to certify the ballot initiative. Now, Republicans in the Michigan state legislature are trying to bypass the voters by adopting the ballot measure language with a plan to amend it later in November after their own elections are over. We, the undersigned people, demand that the Michigan state legislators respect the democratic process and let the people vote on the minimum wage initiative in November. People power put the initiative on the ballot, and if we don’t let the public decide what's best for our communities, this type of anti-worker attack will take place in our own local communities, too. All eyes on Michigan during the next week. Let's come together nationwide to support workers who need us now!

I am starting this start this petition cause these proposed service cuts or alternatives can lead to the eventual dismantling of the National Amtrak Network, start with the Southwest Chief. I am petitioning you all to reconsider your position on the Southwest Chief. I understand you’re trying to make Amtrak great again with improved safety features, schedules and customer satisfaction which is commendable. Amtrak does need to be modernized and brought into the 21st century to be more competitive with air/ bus. I can respect that. Amtrak sure has needed a boost. However, it really concerns me on how you and the Amtrak board have taken the position on PTC with an Iron Fist. The FRA has granted Main line track exemptions to the BNSF railway for the Raton Subdivision and Parts of the Glorieta Subdivision owned by BNSF railway. vI see your point in wanting to make the route safer. However there has not been a single death and or derail on those subdivisions. Last I checked PTC was adopted for rail lines transporting heavy freight loads and passenger trains and has more than 15 trains per day. You’re wanting to put PTC on Raton & Glorieta Pass when the only user is the Southwest Chief? I’ve photographed the train in the last decade and the route needs better signals and sidings, along with bridges, and maybe in 5 years upgraded rail. There is a signal system in place it’s been working for years with our incident. That is only my personal opinion as a photographer who is out there daily photographing the train. What Amtrak’s main goal should be is replacing the super liner fleet and P42s. Those are in need of attention and upgrades. However back to the Chief. The bus bridge you all propose would only dismantle the route with eventual discontinuance of the route in a decade or less due to lower and lower ridership. I read in the press how Amtrak mentions the Chief is losing money. But public transportation is not designed to make money and profit entirely. You’re gonna have days when you make money and days you won’t. As a rider who uses the Chief on both ends of the spectrum via Albuquerque can tell you I will not be riding Amtrak anymore if a bus bridge is installed along with many other riders I also know. I plead with you and ask you not let this train fade into history by setting into motion the bus bridge. There is a reason why people take trains to see scenery not seen from the highway. Also your bus bridge is also a major concern on a logistics level and safety level. Raton pass is a steep climb for both trains and vehicles. But during the winter months the pass is closed for white out conditions at times and or severe black ice. Now can you all fully explain to me how Amtrak intends to bus passengers to meet with Train 4 in Kansas when the NMDOT & CDOTs may close I-25? Are there plans in place if a bus was to crash due to black ice or snow conditions? But wait - when the highway is closed the railroads stay open or have delays. I’ve personally seen the Chief climb through the pass at safe speeds and successfully make it to every station when the Interstate highway is closed. Now has Amtrak addressed that the NMDOT (NMRX) territory East Isleta to ESS Lamy did get there full funding to implement PTC in the NMRX ABQ Subdivision? NMRX ROW ends in Lamy, so would Amtrak operate the Southwest Chief to terminate in Lamy if PTC is underway and then operational on the NMRX line, with a bus bridge in place? There are so many questions that you all have not fully addressed and or not been fully transparent about. Remember, Amtrak is a railroad and not an airline. I can understand certain talking points presented by you guys at Amtrak but I cannot accept the fact you all won’t cooperate in the matter to ensure rural Kansas, Colorado and New Mexico have transportation. To be honest, it seems you are wanting your passengers and or shareholders including stakeholders to bow to your will and accept what is. Congress stands with us Amtrak passengers, why can’t Amtrak stand behind its own passengers? One final thought; remember Amtrak stands for American Track, not NEC Track or New England Track - American Track! And it’s your sole responsibility to provide us Americans the transportation needed to get us from A to B. So please Mr. Anderson have an open mind and work with us and not against us. Hear what your passengers have to say. We want the Southwest Chief service to remain as is with no service interruptions and no bus bridge. Also for my Delegation members who represent me in Washington D.C I thank you so much for the support and resources given to fight this issue. To quote Senator Hendrich “We have fought for the Southwest Chief, we will fight for it again” Which is so true. But also I beg of you members of the Senate and House of Representatives, along with yourself Mr. President. We need to look into these issues further and assist Amtrak in repairs and operations for the National Network. We cannot let this issue keep dragging on. Also we need to have some more congressional oversight on Amtrak & there business dealings. If Amtrak seeks to abandon routes and or stub routes with Buses replacing part of the route all because Amtrak does not want to pay operational & maintenance costs from now to 2030. We need congress to put Amtrak in check. There are so many towns and cities without airports and greyhound which have Amtrak stations and heavily depend and rely on them. For Richard Anderson and his Board to dismiss those small towns and cities at the snap of a finger is concerning. For those in my State I please beg of you to work with the NM Delegation and all communities affected. No disrespect but from what I’ve seen with my state leaders is they wait for situations like this to resolve itself and when it can’t, they jump in at the last second. We need to be putting any available resources we can spare on a State, County, City Level. We need to ha...

Students who attend the Bryant Schools District should be able to dress freely at school. No one should decide whether or not they should get dress-coded at school or wear uncomfortable clothes. School faculty should not be putting duct tape or paper in students' clothes that their family paid for when some families can't afford new ones.

FAA must REVERT back to pre NextGen flight paths and procedures now! That is the fastest, and least expensive fix. Stop lying to us! For decades Congress has been passing aviation ACTS that sound great to the uninformed, but do nothing to protect the public from the negative health impacts of repeated exposures to very loud and extreme jet noise and it's associated chemical residues which people breathe. Pleas for help have largely fallen on deaf ears though President Trump made a point of working to limit the exposures over his Florida property. To our knowledge, only Gov. Larry Hogan has stood up for his people, and only one major city - Phoenix has taken the FAA to task gaining a roll back to former operation paths. Please ADD your voice and comments now. We need to collect 100,000 more signers in order to demonstrate to Washington that this is a serious matter. This is not about rich people seeking to dump their share of noise on their poor neighbors. This is about all of us getting a fair break instead of the new jet highways - which often are right over lower-income neighborhoods. Going to court is difficult, and can cost $1M. We'd rather Congress just fix what they broke! REVERT - STOP Jet Noise NOW! America

Every Wednesday, chicken biscuits would bring a smile to my face. With a busy schedule, many days I don't have time to make a breakfast for myself to eat. A small breakfast of a chicken biscuit would help me get through my first classes. Our students should have a right to eat a breakfast they want, and the biscuits should be brought back.

Your vote to kill such legislation will be a vote for the people in your district. If instead, if you vote in favor of such legislation, you will be voting for PG&E and the other utilities, and against the people in your district. We’re paying attention to who votes for the people and who votes for the corporations. The state agency which objectively investigates wildfires to identify the causes has already said PG&E is responsible for 12 of the disastrous wildfires last year. The October wildfires killed 44 people, destroyed more than 9,000 homes and other structures, and caused damages estimated at nearly $10 billion, as reported by the East Bay Times newspaper. Legislation that allows PG&E to stick its customers with wildfire costs sends the wrong message to PG&E and the other utilities: It tells them that they can divert funds into excessive profits and obscene executive salaries and bonuses, funds which were supposed to be spent on preventing their equipment from causing or adding to wildfires. Killing legislation that allows PG&E to stick its customers with wildfire costs will send the right message to PG&E and the other utilities: Spend the money on safety which is designated for safety. Design procedures to minimize your equipment causing or adding to wildfires before extreme weather conditions happen, not afterward, which is what your expensive ads say you’re doing now, too little and too late. PG&E has generated $67 billion in revenues over the past four years and realized about $5 billion in profits, including $1.7 billion last year. They don’t deserve to have you to bail them out. You can support the families whose homes were destroyed or loved ones were killed by the 2017 wildfires with legislation in which the State of California guarantees bonds issued by the utilities to pay wildfire claims, subject to the utilities repaying the State of California over time, and forbidding the forgiveness of the repayment to the State in any bankruptcy proceeding.

UN investigators say Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have killed thousands of civilians in Yemen in airstrikes, tortured detainees, raped civilians and used child soldiers as young as 8, actions which are likely war crimes. Their report said Saudi and Emirati airstrikes had hit residential areas, markets, funerals, weddings, jails, boats and medical facilities. They accused Saudi-UAE of routinely having failed to consult their own “no-strike list” of civilian sites in Yemen, including refugee camps and hospitals. The chair of the experts panel that produced the report said “there is little evidence of any attempt” by Saudi-UAE to minimize civilian casualties. [1] The UN report on Saudi-UAE war crimes in Yemen makes a mockery of claims by Defense Secretary James Mattis that the Pentagon is helping Saudi Arabia and the UAE reduce civilian casualties. On the contrary: by arming Saudi Arabia and the UAE, by refueling their warplanes during their bombing runs, by providing targeting intelligence, and by providing diplomatic protection for their war at the UN, the Pentagon is complicit in Saudi-UAE war crimes. But incredibly, Mattis insists that “we have not seen any callous disregard by the people we're working with,” and so the Pentagon “will continue to work with them." [2] Congress can stop this crime. In violation of the Constitution and the War Powers Resolution, U.S. participation in Saudi Arabia’s Yemen war was never authorized by Congress. That means that under the War Powers Resolution, any Member of Congress can force a vote on ending the war, as Senators Bernie Sanders, Mike Lee, and Chris Murphy did in March. [3] Urge your Representative and Senators to force a vote on ending the war by signing our petition.

RE Neighbors Legacy Holdings, Inc., et al. Case Number: 18-33836 Although It is clear that while we cannot keep Neighbors Holdings from being sold, we feel certain that the Honorable Judge Isgur will consider the small financial gap between the highest dollar amount which breaks up the company into uncertainty (5 different bidders) and the HIGHEST single bid which keeps the entire company intact and preserves many jobs.
