• Trump's Military Parade, Not.
    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.

  • Stop Pennsylvania GOP's gerrymandering power grab!
    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.

  • Please help SCSD students!
    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.

  • Tell DC Mayor Bowser and DC Council: Stop Trump's War Parade
    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.

  • No Military Parade!
    This is the United States of America. Our Presidents do not honor themselves with military parades. This is a disgrace and should not be allowed. It is in the planning stages at his directive.

  • Tell the Department of Defense: A military parade is a huge mistake
    Last night, news broke that Donald Trump has given orders to the Department of Defense to prepare for a military parade and that it is being "worked at the highest levels of the military." Here's the truth: our military is made up of the very best men and women this country has to offer. They should not be used and abused in this way simply to prop up Donald Trump's fragile self-image. Any Commander in Chief who respected the traditions of the military and the people who serve would understand that. But, it is increasingly clear that the United States does not have a Commander in Chief as much as we have a wannabe banana republic strongman.

  • DENY TRUMP'S "DEMAND" FOR A MILITARY PARADE
    A parade of U. S. military equipment and personnel down Pennsylvania Avenue is meant as yet another taunt in Trump's goading of North Korea. Such acts endanger our country and bring us only closer to war. And the millions of dollars for a parade -- and for reconstructing the streets destroyed by its heavy equipment -- would come at taxpayers' expense.

  • Educational Awareness and Federal Ridesharing Laws for Minors
    The parents and others should know about the ridesharing policies that are not being enforced in states and cities. Our children are in jeopardy when it comes to ridesharing. When downloading these ride-sharing apps, accepting the terms without fully understanding the limitations and conditions of using the services. One major problem is the two major ride-sharing companies prohibit riders under 18 years of age to use these services without being accompanied by an adult. However, all parties involved from the drivers to riders and communities are experiencing their minors become victimized and unsuspecting prey to non-regulated, exempt background checks, and undercover predators disguised as drivers who are trusted with our most vulnerable population to various locations. Although, it is our responsibility to understand the conditions we must educate the public about what they have agreed to and what we have left open for without any safeguards in place to protect our children. Let’s bring back background checks including Level 2 clearance and fingerprinting as vulnerable populations require proactive safeguards versus reactive. If this service is going to be used we have to come up with a solution on how to really get their children to there destination with a peace of mind. It is time to take this request to Congress since the individual states have taken away the each Cities rights. When it comes to Ridesharing there is no Bill or Laws in the state legislator statue and it is time for us to have it enforced. "It is time to protect the children."

  • Say No to Trump's North Korean style military parade
    For over a year we have seen Donald Trump try to systematically DESTROY the Democratic foundation America is built on while slowly trying to turn this country into an Emperor Trump, dictatorial ruled country! Donald Trump DOES NOT need his childish ego fed by allowing him to have his MILITARY PARADE like Kim Jung Un in North Korean! I find it amazing that our Government is saying there's isn't money in the budget to fund health care, provide well-needed help to PR, or to possibly keep our gov't running, but you want to WASTE HARD EARNED taxpayers' money for a USELESS parade for the whim of one man!? Can you imagine the damage this will cause to an already crumbling infrastructure, and what it will take to fix it? I am TIRED of Trump being allowed to do WHATEVER he wants regardless of the irreparable damage his action is doing to this country. This is AMERICA, not a dictatorial ruled world!!! SAY NO TO Trump's military parade!!!
