  • Keep #NY19 Primary Positive!
    Over the past year, the candidates have run positive campaigns based on our shared values. We commend the candidates for their positivity and camaraderie. Negative attacks by candidates or by outside groups are likely to lead to additional negative attacks from all directions as candidates fight back to protect themselves. This would change the entire tenor of the Primary and weaken the Democratic nominee against John Faso. This is truly the most important election of our lifetimes, and Democrats must commit now more than ever to standing unified and empowered against attempts to divide us.

  • AppleCare music on hold is unbearable!
    Music on hold is not a new technology. Thousands, maybe millions, of companies have figured it out decades ago. There are many things people do not object to listening to: news, weather, nature sounds, computer tips, or just synthesized recordings that let you know you are still connected. However, Apple seems to think that forcing their best customers to endure listening to a playlist of ear-shattering crappy noise is the way to maintain their image. It sucks. And if you complain to the people who provide the world's best tech support for the world's best products from the world's largest company, they tell you that there is nothing they can do about it, but you can go to a feedback page on their web site. Been there, done that, . dozens of times. It's time for a better way to get the attention of the C-level at Apple.

  • Boycott the NFL until it stops interfering with 1st Amendment rights.
    Trump and the NFL have allied to snuff out freedom of speech. It is time to take our values back. If criminals and the mentally ill have unfettered access to firearms, the rest of us should have unfettered access to the 1st Amendment. If not, we are now Russia, China, Iran, North Korea...

  • Medical Marijuana
    I know countless people with illness weather mental, physical, or both including myself in which I have both will benefit from the medical use of Marijuana. Personally I'm in pain everyday from fibromyalgia and muscle spasms and have mental issues like PTSD, Social Anxiety, and Bipolar Disorder; I've been on countless medications none seems to completely work then I tried Marijuana .. I had less pain and next to no muscle spasms and my mind was at rest and I was calm and clear headed and not so jumbled. I've asked a lot of people who I know that has some kind of issue and use Marijuana in moderation in how they feel afterwards with there illness, I've gotten all positive remarks.

  • End School Shootings. Stop Provocative, Sensational, Extended Media Coverage
    The culture war over gun control has hijacked the issue of school shootings, and turned it into a political issue. But because media coverage is the cause and not guns, lives will continue to be lost as long as the real cause is not addressed due to the gun issue distraction. I want to save lives by putting the blame where it belongs, on the media, and legislate restrictions to the coverage to stop the killings.

  • Youtube Must allow Channels with CANNABIS Content to be available on YouTube
    We feel that our CIVIL RIGHTS are being trampled upon. Many like-minded and Well-meaning human beings Heal with, Use, Grow, Consume, Cook with, Share with, And Just plain Enjoy Cannabis. Cannabis is a simple plant, With a complicated governmental relationship. This simple plant has been mistreated by the USA for far too long. We know that there are NO DEATHS from CANNABIS, That's NONE! As in ZERO ZIP NADA ZILCH. Yet the USA continues to allow thousands of deaths by NOT Ending CANNABIS Prohibition! There is currently a Big pHARMa induced opioid crisis in the USA, and YouTube and Google allow ads for big pHARMa. They continue to allow alcohol content. Many many MANY thousands of REAL LIVE HURTING HUMAN BEINGS turn to YouTube each day, They turn there looking for "That Plant" They are merely researching how to possibly save their lives, or the life of a loved one. Please RESTORE ALL the VAST CULTURAL CANNABIS HISTORY housed on all the Cannabis YouTube channels which you've silenced. We respectfully ask that you RESTORE all content from all Cannabis Channels and that you allow new channels to flourish as well. Please! We'd enjoy LEARNING how to grow cannabis, vape and smoke cannabis. Learn about the different types of strains and which one would be best for our diseases. Maybe we're learning, there is the possibility of HOPE for an EPILEPTIC CHILD, who otherwise would be forced to take large amounts of toxic big pHARMa drugs instead of a simple NON TOXIC Plant. Our Plant, For indeed it is OUR PLANT. If you chose not to learn about our investigate or HEAL with CANNABIS, that's your choice. WE are requesting THE RIGHT TO HAVE A CHOICE. Please ALLOW CANNABIS CONTENT to RETURN in all its fascinating and EDUCATIONAL GLORY to the YouTube Platform. ALLOW it so you ALLOW US to make INFORMED decisions. We LEARN by sharing. We learn by sharing video content on YOUR platform. PLEASE don't hold US hostage by not allowing Cannabis, We know its your choice as to what you allow on your platform. We fear your decision to cut US off is money based. Please. ALLOW it Anyway. YOUR Ability to HELP your entire planet HEAL is in YOUR hands. Will YOU DENY all Humans the simple ability to LEARN about CANNABIS on your platform? or will you ENCOURAGE GROWTH and HEALING for ALL your FELLOW HUMAN BEINGS? The choice is yours. Respectfully, Lisa Wooldridge, Vice President, The Human Solution, INTL. www.thsintl.org

  • Decorating Graduation Caps
    Recently we have found out that we are not allowed to decorate the graduation caps, which we are required to buy and own after graduation. However, in many schools, these decorations can serve as a representation of individuality and personal perseverance. Help the graduating class of 2018, along with future classes, earn the privilege of decorating the top of our caps.

  • Stop Prince's Deportation and Investigate His Assault By ICE
    This petition is jointly organized by Sanctuary DMV, the DMV Sanctuary Congregation Network, and LA RED/Faith in Action. Prince Gbohoutou of New Carrollton, MD is an asylum seeker from the Central African Republic (C.A.R.) who has been living in the U.S. for the past 12 years since he was brought here as a 14-year-old, is DACA-eligible, is married to a U.S. citizen, and has built a career as an artist. Prince was detained by ICE when he voluntarily appeared for his check-in on April 19, with his wife and two Sanctuary DMV accompaniers. On Thursday, May 24, two Baltimore ICE agents - without notifying Prince, his attorney, or his wife - took Prince from the Maryland jail where he was being held to their main office in Baltimore. They placed Prince in five-point shackles and drove him to JFK airport in New York. ICE planned to put him on a 9pm flight to Morocco on the way to the C.A.R. Prince repeatedly expressed his fear of returning to C.A.R., the country from which his deceased father had sought asylum and where his mother had been murdered by government officials. At JFK, the two Baltimore ICE agents who had driven Prince from Maryland called four to five additional agents to forcibly remove Prince from the van and into the airport. ICE agents beat his legs with nightsticks when he did not exit the vehicle. At the plane, Prince again expressed his fear to return to C.A.R. and the flight’s captain told ICE he would not take Prince on his plane. Thanks to Prince’s courageous actions and the captain’s refusal to be complicit in a deportation, Prince remains in the United States for now, where he can pursue his green card application through his United States citizen wife. Upon leaving the airport, ICE officers drove Prince back to Maryland, with one of the officers threatening that he would get no visits and no phone calls as a result of his actions. He was taken to the Frederick County Adult Detention Center (back in the jurisdiction of the Baltimore ICE field office), where he is being held now. Prince’s wife Shaniece and one of our organizers visited Prince at the jail on May 25, the day after his ordeal at JFK, and witnessed multiple bruises on both shins. Prince said he now has a minor limp as a result of his treatment as well. We’re outraged by the treatment of Prince and are deeply concerned about ICE retaliation against Prince for bravely asserting his fear of return even in the face of imminent deportation. We are requesting Prince’s immediate release, for his assault to be immediately investigated, and for the officers involved and their supervisors to be held accountable. ***** Con atencion a Dorothy Herrera-Niles, Directora de la Oficina de ICE de Baltimore Solicitamos la liberación inmediata del Sr. Prince Gbohoutou de la custodia del ICE. También solicitamos una investigación sobre los eventos del 24 de mayo, cuando oficiales de ICE golpearon al Sr. Gbohoutou mientras lo forzaban a tomar un avión para deportarlo (sin haber notificado a su abogado ni a su esposa). Los oficiales involucrados y sus supervisores deben ser considerados responsables de este abuso físico. Antecedentes: Prince Gbohoutou de New Carrollton, MD es un solicitante de asilo de la República Centroafricana (C.A.R.) que ha vivido en los EE. UU. durante los últimos 12 años desde que fue traído aquí cuando tenía 14 años de edad, es elegible para DACA, esta casado con una ciudadana estadounidense, y ha construido una carrera como artista. Prince fue detenido por ICE cuando se presentó voluntariamente para su registro el 19 de abril, con su esposa y dos acompañantes de Sanctuary DMV. El jueves 24 de mayo, dos agentes de ICE de Baltimore -sin notificar a Prince, su abogado o su esposa- lo sacaron de la cárcel de Maryland donde lo tenían detenido a la oficina principal de Baltimore. Le pusieron grilletes y lo llevaron al aeropuerto JFK en Nueva York. ICE planeó embarcarlo en un vuelo de las 9pm a Marruecos en camino a C.A.R. Prince expresó reiteradamente su temor a regresar a C.A.R., país del cual su padre ya fallecido había solicitado asilo y donde su madre fue asesinada por funcionarios del gobierno. En el aeropuerto JFK, los dos agentes de ICE de Baltimore que habían conducido a Prince desde Maryland llamaron de cuatro a cinco agentes adicionales para sacar a Prince por la fuerza de la furgoneta y llevarlo al aeropuerto. Los agentes de ICE lo golpearon en las piernas al negarse a salir del vehículo. En el avión, Prince nuevamente expresó su temor de regresar a C.A.R. y el capitán del vuelo le dijo a los agentes de ICE que no llevaria a Prince en su avión. Gracias a las valientes acciones de Prince y al rechazo del capitán a ser cómplice de una deportación, ICE se vio obligado a abandonar su intento de deportarlo. Lo condujeron de regreso a Maryland, con uno de los oficiales amenazandolo con no poder recibir visitas ni llamadas telefónicas como resultado de sus acciones. Fue llevado al Centro de Detención para Adultos del Condado de Frederick (de regreso en la jurisdicción de la oficina de campo del Baltimore ICE), donde se encuentra recluido hasta ahora. La esposa de Prince, Shaniece y uno de nuestras organizadoras visitaron a Prince en la cárcel el 25 de mayo, un día después de su calvario en el aeropuerto JFK, y presenciaron múltiples hematomas en ambas espinillas. Prince dijo que ahora también tiene una cojera menor como resultado de este trato. Estamos indignados por el trato a Prince y estamos profundamente preocupados por la represalia de ICE contra Prince por negarse a abordar el avión. Estamos solicitando la liberación inmediata de Prince, que se investigue inmediatamente su agresión y que los oficiales involucrados y sus supervisores rindan cuentas.
