We will be on the hook for thousands of dollars more in federal taxes because we live in California and are now limited in our state and local income tax deduction. Lowering state and local taxes are not options since the public schools our kids attend are already underfunded and we need to take care of Californians who need help but are being abandoned by the federal government.

With tens of thousands of homeless veterans living in the streets of our country, in harsh conditions, without food or shelter, and tens of thousands of brave veterans struggling with PTSD and physical wounds, and a VA system that lacks funds and resources to properly help them... is throwing a big, lavish military parade at this moment in time a good use of our tax dollars? Shouldn't we take care of the people who fought and sacrificed for our nation first, instead of throwing money away on an antiquated show of force? We ask you to cancel plans for a military parade and use that money to help our veterans instead. That's the PATRIOTIC thing to do. Take care of our VETERANS!

Up to one hundred thousand people are affected by the lead filled water, with 41.2 percent of the people living below the poverty line makes it very hard on the residents living in flint. This is issue that needs to be resolved and still hasn't fully been acknowledged.

Donald Trump is ordering the Pentagon to spend millions of dollars to stage a massive military parade in D.C — soldiers, tanks, jets, all of it. As a veteran, I'm fed up with Trump using our military community as props.It's clear to me that Trump doesn’t actually honor the troops, he wants to force the troops to honor him. For Trump it clearly isn't about the people who serve in uniform. Let's look at Trump's record: he lied about donating to veteran charities until we called him out. He tried to purge transgender troops and immigrants from the military. And he turned the arrival of a fallen soldier's remains in Dover, and the ceremony awarding a wounded soldier his Purple Heart, into gross and exploitative photo ops. He even smeared a Gold Star family! It's time we put our foot down, and stop Trump from using our troops as props for his ego. That's why we call on the Mayor of Washington D.C. to bar Trump from putting on this gross display in our nation's capital. Trump might want to act like an authoritarian dictator, but this is still our democracy.

To show Congress that Americans have faith in the FBI despite recent criticism.

Republicans are now talking about impeaching members of the state supreme court because they didn't get the ruling they wanted.

I was watching Morning Joe this morning and he inspired me to start this petition. "Have the largest veterans parade in American history where veterans can come together from all of these wars and talk through the challenges they still are facing in peacetime thirty, forty years later." – President Trump has asked the Pentagon to plan a Military Parade just for him. I think the Veterans and their families would greatly represent our Military.

This is not right and everyone with sympathy and big heart should join to sign this petition to stop this deportation.

Last month, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court struck down the legislature's redistricting plan as an unconstitutional partisan gerrymander, and ordered that new maps be drawn for the 2018 elections. But Republicans in the legislature, who deliberately drew state and congressional districts to box out Democrats and protect their own incumbents, aren’t taking no for an answer. They've already unsuccessfully petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to let them keep their gerrymandered maps in place. Plus, the Senate President says he'll ignore parts of the ruling -- and he could be held in contempt of court if he follows through. Now, it looks like some Republicans in the state legislature are fast-tracking an attempt to retaliate against the judges who ruled against their crooked maps. Rep. Cris Dush has introduced legislation that would impeach these five justices -- and we must speak out to stop him. Impeaching these five judges would flagrantly violate the principle of separation of powers -- a cornerstone of American democracy. And their ongoing attempts to circumvent the court’s decision deny Pennsylvania voters their constitutional right to fairly select their representatives. The only thing that can stop this brazen power grab is a massive, nationwide, public outcry. Please join us in condemning Rep. Dush, and any other lawmakers who go along with his scheme.

As a community member and voter in NYS, I am contacting you to request a foundation aid adjustment. State aid to Syracuse City School District (SCSD) students has not met their needs. SCSD students, among the poorest in the nation, live with 1/3 the average annual income of other NYS residents, and enrollment in the district is growing and projected to continue to rise by 2.7% next school year- yet our state funding does not reflect these factors. The foundation aid formula is well designed and should be running to fund all NYS students equitably. Please address the poverty and program needs of these 21,000+ students so they can be adequately supported as they aim to graduate ready for college and careers. I request that you, provide at least an additional $12 million in state aid, freeze charter school growth that takes much needed money from public education, do not approve a 2% cap, continue funding community schools, increase and expand mental health services for students, and expand CTE funding to include ninth grade students.

Trump just ordered plans to send tanks, troops, and guns down the streets of Washington, D.C. This is the kind of parade that dictators around the world use to try and intimidate their enemies and, more importantly, their own citizens. This is not democracy, and this is not American. Urge Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser to act immediately and shut down Trump’s war parade. This is not democracy. Urge Washington, D.C.'s Mayor Muriel Bowser and the DC Council to act immediately and shut down Trump's war parade by refusing to issue permits, allocate resources, or otherwise cooperate with such an outrageous idea.
