Listen to the people of Georgia! The LGBT community should be treated equally and this bill is discriminating and hateful. All these people want is to have the American dream... get married, buy a house, and have a family. Why should you be the one to deprive them of that??

The City of Takoma Park is planning to raise the property tax rate (again), add 5 new positions, and increase the total budget from +/- $30 million to $32.5 million on July 1, 2018. Property owners in the City are to provide most of that revenue and at a time when the economic future is indeed uncertain. We simply can't afford it.

Everyone in the State of New Jersey recognizes that Deer population has grown out of control. Not only does the high deer population adversely affect local farmers and agriculture, they also destroy landscaping, pose a health hazard with the growth of Lyme and other deer tick borne diseases as well as cause thousands of accidents on our roads every year. By moving the Division of Fish and Wildlife from the Department of Environmental Protection to the Department of Agriculture, ultimate control will be vested in a Department that understands the harm that the mismanagement of NewJersey Wildlife causes each year. Perhaps more importantly, this move will also put the ultimate control of the management of over 350,000 acres of open space in New Jersey into an agency that recognizes the importance of management of that open space for the benefit of all people, not just a limited number of hunters. Currently every year more and more farm land is taken out of active farming and allowed to grow up into brush and weeds by the Division of Fish and Wildlife.

Warden Neal of Indiana State Prison Michigan City, IN. and Assistant Warden George Payne need to resign immediately due to the continued conditions at the State Prison. One person was burned alive April 7, 2017, because no one would roll the doors under Warden Neal's watch. Many other men suffered serious smoke inhalation due to being left in the cell house for quite sometime following the death of the inmate, and most have not received medical treatment. Since the fire retaliation began. Cameras are now placed in the attorneys booths, all mail including legal mail is copied and the offender gets the copy while the original is maintained. These men have no means of getting outside help, because their mail is scrutinized. The grievance policy has went to the wayside. No more touching upon arrival at the prison between loved one's, nor when leaving. Inmates are forced to wear jump suits backwards which is not only extremely uncomfortable, but dangerous. If an inmate were to be attacked get near an electrical spark there is no way to get out of this heavy garment. Drugs and contraband are easily obtained from the guards. This place was built in the mid 1800's and is not fit for human habitation. If a family member calls the prison regarding their loved one, the loved one is usually shaken down with orders from Assistant Warden George Payne to the guards to not leave until there is some sort of infraction found. Please take a stand and sign and support.

We need to keep the foundations of music in our school. This has an impact on everyone, especially those who are in the classical BFA.

Inmates rights are violated due to misconduct of excessive force and abusive tactics, monopolizing the individual's rights from allowing them their legal right to be released from custody immediately.

Steroids kill too many people

Almost all of the mail we receive is junk mail sent from marketers and mass mailings. This is a complete waste of energy and resources and we need to put an end to it. This was never what the Postal Service was intended for.

Climate change is the most important issue of our time. We have to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions substantially. Divesting from fossil fuels is a critical tool in this effort. Oregon Saves is a tremendous opportunity for workers without employer-sponsored retirement programs to save for retirement. Oregon Saves impacts about 100,000 employers. We must have a fossil fuel-free investment option for those workers so their retirement funds aren’t working against the future of our planet. Please sign and share this petition to help give Oregon workers the opportunity for a retirement investment that complements our climate goals.

We deserve a fair, accurate Census in 2020 -- but the Trump administration is trying to rig it for political gain. By law, the Census must count everyone who lives within the borders of our country, regardless of their citizenship status. But Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross’s decision to include a question on citizenship threatens that constitutional requirement and politicizes this process. Plus, it'll make the 2020 Census undercount communities of color and others who feel intimidated by Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric -- by discouraging them from participating at all. And since we use Census data to draw legislative districts, it’ll amplify the harm of gerrymandering -- keeping fair representation in government out of reach for too many of us. An accurate Census is essential in the redrawing of our congressional and legislative districts and budgeting decisions that impact our schools, hospitals, roads, and veterans. The Trump administration’s decision threatens the accuracy of data we use as nation to make essential decisions about our children’s future. There’s a clear political motive here -- Donald Trump was fundraising off the prospect of a citizenship question just last week. Systematically undercounting our nation’s Latino population and other communities of color would tilt the balance of power towards Republicans for the next decade. This is just the latest attempt by the Trump administration to intimidate, threaten, and silence people of color -- and it shouldn’t happen in 21st century America. We must speak out now to ensure an accurate 2020 Census, without a politically motivated question on citizenship that will suppress legitimate responses. Send your message now.

Donald Trump just illegally bombed Syria, can’t wait to scrap the Iran deal, and is building more “usable” nukes. And he is literally building a war cabinet. Congress should be taking urgent steps to restrict the president’s war-making ability. Instead, Sens. Bob Corker and Tim Kaine’s proposed new Authorization for the Use of Military Force, or AUMF, would give Trump a blank check for worldwide, endless war. Tell the Senate: Vote no on the Corker-Kaine AUMF.
