People are disenchanted with how they are represented and don't think their vote counts. There have been two presidential elections in recent history (Bush and Trump) that have been determined by the electoral college, even though the opposing candidate received more popular votes. One citizen, one vote is true democracy.

I am an ordinary American citizen who is horrified by the White House’s interference into The Justice Department’s lawful and legitimate investigation into Russian meddling into our 2016 election and am equally horrified by this president’s disgraceful, dishonest and dangerous conduct as it relates to the DOJ, foreign policy, conflicts of interests and his suspicious defense of Russian President Vladimir Putin, as well as lending credibility to other dictators and criminal oligarchs to the detriment of democracy and to all freedom loving nations in the world. Trump and his corrupt clan are guilty of obstruction of justice, on its face, of unlawfully exploiting the executive office for financial gain, as proven, and very possibly, of treason against the people of the United States of America. He is a cancer to our democracy and must either stand down and allow the Justice Dept to finish its work or resign the office

The purpose of this petition is to penalize the NFL in Oakland, California for its blatant abuse of their players' right to free speech and protest.

The outsourcing of the HHS dept was done without notifying Derry residents of this important change. It was not on the agenda until the May 15 budget review and voted to be closed same day, vote 4-3. The union employees were made aware of this change, which does violate their contract. With that being said, both individual's major concern is the quality of care our residents in need will receive with this outrageous and abrupt change, especially since some government/state refunds and grants will not be available to the outsourced provider. Please sign and share to bring Health and Human Resources back to Manning St. The only requirement is YOU MUST BE A DERRY NH REGISTERED VOTER.

I attended Marjory Stoneman Douglas high school. My friends have died. My teachers have died. STOP THIS RIGHT NOW; WE ARE ALL SICK OF IT!!!!

Disney was always a safe space for me, as I know it has also been for many others. But now that Disney is backing a candidate whose beliefs terrify me, Disney no longer looks like that welcoming place of solace and joy. Now it appears to be just another pawn in everything that’s wrong with politics today. Tell the Walt Disney Company to withdrawal their support for Republican candidate Adam Putnam immediately and tell Bob Iger to denounce Adam Putnam and his hateful rhetoric!

As Mr. Segovia's 3rd period class, we want to see him succeed because he has devoted his time to make sure we succeed.

The teachers, administrators, and parents of the Waterloo Central School District fully support Terri Bavis as superintendent, leader of our district. We are urging the Board of Education to sign her contract that was already approved at the January BOE meeting and printed in the paper! We feel it would be devastating to our students, faculty, and community to lose her as our leader.

Here's what Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr had to say today about the NFL's decision to fine players who kneel during the national anthem: “They weren't disrespecting the flag or the military. But our president decided to make it about that and the NFL followed suit, pandered to their fanbase, created this hysteria. This is kind of what's wrong with our country right now. People in high places are trying to divide us, divide loyalties, make this about the flag as if the flag is something other than what it really is. It's a a representation of what we’re about, which is diversity, peaceful protests, abilities, right to free speech. It's really ironic, actually." Once again, Kerr articulates the true meaning of patriotism better than the current president.

Nicaragua is our next door neighbor, part of the Americas, and we have the right to freedom and democracy, and we request immediate help from the US. President. Daniel Ortega is in power against the will of the Nicaraguan people. He is killing innocent people in mass quantities, committing genocide against the people, and using Cuban sharpshooters to do so. This man must be stopped now along with all his accomplices and all his assets must be frozen. I would like an invitation to urgently speak with a special panel about this issue. Thanks

Expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam food packaging is a major component of litter in Maryland’s waterways. Among the Chesapeake Bay’s tidal waters, the EPA has identified three regions of concern: Baltimore Harbor, the Anacostia River, and the Elizabeth River. Since 2014, 702,017 EPS foam containers have been removed from the Baltimore Harbor alone. EPS foam comprises 25-40% of the trash, by volume, pulled from the Anacostia River before it was able to reach the Chesapeake Bay and 10-40%, by volume, of the litter collected during stream cleanups. The fragile nature of EPS foam causes it to break down into infinitesimal pieces upon entering our environment, making it nearly impossible to successfully remove from our waterways. EPS foam - especially that used for food service - can rarely be recycled and municipal curbside collection of EPS foam in Maryland has been determined by many jurisdictions to not be economically viable. Once EPS foam becomes part of the waste stream, it commonly gets washed or blown into our storm drains and rivers, where it absorbs 10 times more pesticides, fertilizers, and chemicals than other kinds of plastic, increasing exposure to toxins for marine life, who mistake it for food. In order to ensure this particularly hazardous form of litter does not continue to plague Maryland's communities and waterways, Bill No. 49-18 requires any disposable food service container used within Anne Arundel County to be a non-Expanded Polystyrene Foam material.

Amazon is selling a racially biased surveillance tool to law enforcement. Amazon's surveillance product, Rekognition claims it has the power to identify people in real time, in photos of large groups of people, and in crowded events and public places like protests. But study after study has shown that real time face recognition like this has strong racial biases leading to more erroneous police stops for Black people, women, and young people. With built-in racial bias and no public oversight, this system is guaranteed to harm our communities, ensuring that Black folks get stopped by police more often and put in jail more often. At a time when our communities are organizing in public at unprecedented levels, and discriminatory policing continues to terrorize us, handing this surveillance technology over to the government threatens our civil rights and liberties. Facial recognition is not a neutral technology, no matter how Amazon spins this. Amazon has no business allowing law enforcement to use Rekognition – and powering anti-Black surveillance. Already, Rekognition is in use in Florida and Oregon. Government agencies in California and Arizona have sought information about it, too. And Amazon didn't just sell Rekognition to law enforcement, it's actively partnering with them to ensure that authorities can fully utilize Rekognition's capabilities. Amazon has branded itself as customer-centric, opposed secret government surveillance, and has a CEO who publicly supported First Amendment freedoms and spoke out against the discriminatory Muslim Ban. Yet, Amazon is powering dangerous surveillance that poses a grave threat to customers and communities already unjustly targeted in the current political climate. We must make it clear to Amazon that we won't stand by and let it pad its bottom line by selling out our civil rights.
