I need to keep America safe

Wildlife habitats and populations have become severely fragmented due to rapid urbanization. We as a city need to ensure that our natural wildlife is sustained through building infrastructure that can support them. Hello everyone! I am working on my portfolio titled Sustaining Wildlife Biodiversity in the Face of Urbanization. Austin has lost many species now considered to be Endangered and on the brink of extinction such as the Red Wolf due to the rapid urbanization to accommodate the citizens and visitors nationwide. We are still home to many species that are Endangered or Threatened such as the Barton Springs Salamander. We need to find a middle ground to support the coexistence of wildlife and humans. I have created this petition to the Governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, to call for the need to reconstruct infrastructure to protect and include native species in our city of Austin and the state of Texas overall. Please join me and sign my petition to save our wildlife biodiversity!!!

Mayor Jasiel Correia II has once again lied to the citizens of Fall River by vetoing a city council resolution, a resolution that would challenge a controversial road in court. In Fall River we have this nice trail called the Quequechan Rail Trail. It is located where the quequechan river once was. We received a lot of outside funds for this nature trail. The mayor sent down a request to place an easement through the trail. This easement is a two lane road that goes through nature, and the beautiful trail. If the road was placed over the trail, there would be environmental and public safety concerns. The mayor told opposers of the road “If you don’t want the road, then there will be no road”. So the fact that the mayor is now going back on that promise right after an election proves he tricked the voters. If this road is built there will be trouble brought along with it. So that is why we ask for a no confidence vote to be brought upon the Mayor. We ask for support in and outside the city of Fall River to help us with this drastic environmental concern.

Since the Equifax data breach folks are more concerned with data security and not becoming victims of identity theft. I went to freeze my accounts and found out that these agencies can charge consumers in California for this access. To unfreeze is also a fee. So anytime one wants to have better control over who can access their credit information, it's a fee to you. This is ludicrous and must stop. For years agencies have controlled our credit worthiness and have been benefiting, without our consent, from our personal information by selling it to merchants. If they are allowed to collect our personal information, we must be allowed - without charge - to manage, access and control who can and cannot be permitted to see it.

Women like Tamron Hall and Ann Curry have been passed over [1] for far too long, giving the impression to generations of Americans that women just aren't good enough. It turns out that this negative judgement was being passed on women, both at NBC and most everywhere else, by predatory men who enjoyed keeping women’s status down [2] so that they could force female coworkers to indulge their perversions at the office. Like many other serial harassers in journalism, Lauer’s private behavior also seemed to spill into open, public contempt for women in his news coverage. [3] Did guilt motivate these men to try and prevent women from ever being in a position to hold them accountable? Did their sexual objectification of women keep them from taking any women seriously? Hard to say. All we can see is that their lack of respect for women was integral to every aspect of the behavior and views of the powerful men now outed as serial sex pests, and their iron grip on authority in the media world has stifled the careers of their female counterparts. [4] There’s only one way that we can be sure of breaking the cycle of rewarding predatory men by giving them ever more power. NBC News, please let’s try something new? When you go looking to replace Lauer, make an offer to one of the qualified women that you passed up for his sake.

The laws that allow immunity of elected government officials after they have sexually assaulted women and children needs to be changed. I travel all across America helping victims who have been sexually assaulted and in almost all of the cases, the men who committed these atrocities are prosecuted, fired from their jobs, or both. Senator Al Franken and Representative John Conyers have stepped down after pressure from their democratic constituents. Yet, Alabama Judge Roy Moore is ignoring pleas from his base to end his senatorial campaign and President Trump is vowing to campaign for him. If elected, Roy Moore will probably continue to voice his opposition to the many sexual allegations and President Trump will keep his job and will probably escape prosecution from his sexual allegations. Women and children in America should be protected from men in authority who are using their position to cover up their sexual exploitations. This needs to stop. Let's come together to remove these current and future elected officials.

We need ranked choice voting to be implemented effectively in time for the March election. The voters of Santa Fe chose to improve and increase the representative nature of our democratic process through ranked choice voting. Now a judge has ruled after an evidentiary hearing, that the City is obliged to implement it. It's time to move forward and ensure its effectiveness. No more delays.

Donald Trump's bigotry hit a new low, as he retweeted several anti-Muslim videos from the deputy of Britain First, a far-right fascist party in the U.K.--drawing condemnation even from Prime Minister Theresa May. This isn't the first time that he's used the social media platform to spread anti-Muslim rhetoric--and Twitter needs to stop pretending that Trump's hate speech doesn't have consequences. Since Trump took office, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has recorded a nearly doubling of anti-Muslim hate crimes. And in incident after incident, we've heard anti-Muslim slogans or even simply the name "Trump" used as a rallying cry before racist attacks. Enough is enough. Twitter can't continue allowing Trump to use its platform to encourage violence against Muslims. They need to shut down Trump's account and stop enabling his hate speech.

His tweets are normalizing hate and racism as well as violence. He is promoting "the views" of our nation and we cannot stand for it. His tweets as well as all the fake news on Facebook must be eradicated. Let the truth prevail. Let's take away his means of communication in the form of 140 characters.

In light of the current sexual abuse and assault scandals, including staffers in Trump's White House as well as Matt Lauer at NBC, it's time that Mark Burnett releases NBC's 'Apprentice Tapes' to make Donald Trump accountable for his actions.

Representing the vast majority of Americans who oppose the GOP Tax Scam, a group of disabled people protested the Senate Budget Committee hearing on November 28. "I am living with AIDS and cancer," said one. "If this bill is passed, people like me will die. Vote against this bill. Don't kill us, kill the bill!” They were promptly arrested by Capitol Police, with some even dragged out in their wheelchairs. The GOP tax bill will cut taxes for large corporations & the mega-wealthy at the expense of the rest of us, while also stripping 13 million people of their health care. It is an outrage. Sign the petition: Drop arrest charges for disabled protesters, and Kill this reprehensible GOP Tax Scam.

I have not been affected, but it is pretty cruel and has many errors in the system.
