• Stop the marijuana ban in Haverhill
    In 2016, Haverhill voters by 56-44 percent backed the measure to replace marijuana prohibition with a regulated system of safe, taxed sales. Now the Haverhill City Council is proposing a ballot measure that would ban legal sales and deprive Haverhill of significant new taxes and jobs.

  • Reject Putin Visit
    I am abjectly horrified and deeply afraid for my country's ideals and the protection of our democracy after Trump's remarks and behavior at Helsinki. I feel we, as a country, are at a tipping point if not strong voices object to this visit. It's too much.

  • United States Congress: Forbid Secret Trump -- Putin Contact
    President Donald Trump has a proven track record of revealing United States intelligence to Russian officials and trying to circumvent US sanctions against Russia through secret communications with Russian oligarchs, officials, and Vladimir Putin. His unprecedented secret one-on-one meeting with Putin at Helsinki has resulted in Russian claims that he has made verbal agreements to actions that Congress and the American People have no knowledge of, nor gave him the authority to agree to. He has conducted himself recklessly and incompetently and has endangered the security, moral stature, and economic security of the Unites States and its Allies. The deadline for this Petition is July 31, 2018.

  • Demand For Reinstatement of Cassandra Williams
    Cassandra Williams has served the students and faculty of Saint Leo University honorably for an excess of eight years. The student body depended on Ms. Williams as the primary resource for assistance ahead of any other staff due to her dependability and understanding of the culture of the student body. As current students and Alumni, we view her abrupt termination as unjust and a disservice to our university, current, and future students.

  • Rahm Emanuel: attend Wed, July 25, candidate forum
    Candidate forums are an important part of making democracy work. Mayor of Chicago is an important elected office. In 2015, candidate forums managed by corporate media outlets, like Chicago Tonight, were biased in favor of Rahm Emanuel. Mayor Emanuel should justify his past record to the people & explain his vision for the future.

  • Demand Environmental Justice in Massachusetts!
    All too often, communities of color and low-income communities end up with dirty power plants or polluting factories as their neighbors. That's not right. Massachusetts needs to pass legislation to ensure no community bears the brunt of environmental pollution. The Commonwealth must treat all its residents equally and fairly, and passing strong environmental justice legislation will help ensure that happens. Demand that your Massachusetts legislators take action to support environmental justice.

  • Help Keep Families Together By Joining The Fight In Approving Conjugal Visitss
    My fight for conjugal visits in the State of Virginia is inspired by the incarceration of my husband. We have a family and I believe quality time plays a vital role in keeping a healthy marriage and to the development of our children, not to mention it makes for a more calm inmate environment. Please join me in fighting for conjugal visits in the State of Virginia's Department of Corrections and all over the USA. Just because a person is behind bars does not mean they are guilty; some are but there are many who are not. Some have been forced into a guilty plea and others have just been unfortunate and could not afford the proper legal help to assist them when they have been wrongly accused and convicted. I'm fighting to be the voice for them and for the ones who have done their time and have changed for the better. They may not be able to come home, but at least they can be a part of their families' lives on a more intimate level. It is not too much to ask and there can be policies put in place to keep it a hassle-free service. Even if these conjugal visits are only approved on a case by case basis, for example: an inmate may have to reach certain criteria before being allowed to participate in a conjugal visit, or loved ones have to pay a certain dollar amount for these visits. In any case, I'm sure we are all willing to cooperate in order to spend 30 minutes or more with our loved one. We only get one life and the bond between family is extremely morally important and it is an injustice to keep families apart, especially married couples and innocent children. The jail and prison system is often referred to as a rehabilitation center, but there is nothing rehabilitating about keeping people behind bars whether they've changed, they've been on good behavior, or they're just simply innocent. They deserve to spend a portion of that time with their families even if it has to be under supervision. A room with a camera? So be it; we just ask for a quiet place where we can be alone together talking, sleeping, holding one another, being able to be intimate, or maybe a child getting help with homework, etc. These are all things that should be allowed for those who qualify. In conclusion, to whom it may concern, please approve Conjugal Visits In The State Of Virginia. I assure you a positive outcome across the board. Thank you in advance. Sincerely, Tamara Smith Mchellon

  • Support the Fight for Good Jobs at AT&T
    AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson made a promise to invest in his workforce and create at least 7,000 jobs if the tax bill passed. Well, the bill did pass, and AT&T received a $20 billion windfall. But instead of creating jobs, AT&T has laid off over a thousand workers across the country in the past few months. And the company keeps sending work to low-wage and overseas contractors, devastating families and communities across America. AT&T workers are fighting back. CWA members at AT&T Midwest and AT&T’s national Legacy T division are fighting for fair union contracts and have voted to strike if necessary to secure a deal that guarantees good jobs, affordable healthcare, and a secure retirement.

  • Shut Down Celebrity Insider for False and Defamatory Stories
    This is about protecting individuals and organizations from libel and false defamatory stories written by people who not journalists. This is about getting rid of fake news. This site encourages online bullying. I spoke with one of the writers OFF the record and she printed and posted our conversations. I also have a tweet public tweet from Charisse Van Horn telling Bobby Wolfe, the leader of the wolf pack how sexy and talented he is. Interesting how are loyalties and views changed depending on who rejected her and who she may have a chance with...Celebrity Insider and Charisse should be ashamed.
