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.

President Donald Trump, Majority Leader Paul Ryan, and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell are failing to act to help the people of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands survive and rebuild from the devastation of the fossil-fueled Hurricane Maria. The 3.5 million American citizens of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands have no representation in Congress -- they need all of us to demand action from our elected leaders. Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont has introduced legislation to mobilize all the resources and assets needed to restore electricity, provide clean water and food, a safe haven and access to medical care. Senators Elizabeth Warren, Kirsten Gillibrand, Kamala Harris, Ed Markey, and Richard Blumenthal are original co-sponsors. The plan includes a total waiver of the cost of matching funds to receive federal assistance, rejects privatization efforts, and promotes a new resilient, decentralized and renewable energy-based grid. Congress needs to act — every member of the House and Senate should co-sponsor and pass this critical legislation to help our fellow citizens in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Add your name!

Now, twenty-two women have come forward with allegations of sexual harassment or assault against Donald Trump. Most recently, a renowned columnist, E. Jean Carroll has come forward and shared her own account of sexually inappropriate behavior from Donald Trump in the 90s. According to E. Jean, Donald Trump sexually assaulted her in the fitting room of Bergdorf Goodman. In her own words, "The minute he closed the door — boom — he threw me against the wall and tried to kiss me. I fought," she said. "It was shocking. It was against my will." As is expected, Donald Trump has denied any such allegations, but how can we trust a man that has been caught on video gloating about grabbing women by their private parts? E. Jean Carroll is the 22nd woman to come forward and describe her own experiences of sexually inappropriate behavior from the sitting president. It is long past time to just listen to women. Action needs to be taken by those in power. The Justice Department, Congress, and NY Attorney General's Office need to open up an investigation looking into the sexual assault and harassment allegations against Donald Trump. **This petition was launched in November 2017 but has been updated as women have come forward with new allegations.

I have been an activist out here for years, and people know and are scared for their families if they come forth and tell what they know. These people get killed, children hurt, and the victims of murdered people have experienced this over and over again with losing more family members due to retaliation because of discoveries. It's a mother out here now where her child was killed in a drive-by. Now the family of the one who committed the murder has retaliated and almost killed again. Please help stop all this bloodshed. Thanks

Many men are acknowledging and being held accountable for sexual improprieties. A number of women have accused our President of past abuses which he has neither acknowledged nor been held accountable for.

Path points need to go.

Media and technology have become commonplace in all areas of our lives. In our classrooms, students must learn how to safely, ethically, responsibly, and effectively use media and technology resources.

Gun homicides in Mexico this year are the highest on record. Yet: • U.S. legal gun exports to the Mexican military, which distributes guns to state and local police, are nearly ten times what they were in 2001-2004; • the State Department licensed $266 million worth of gun sales by the U.S. gun producer Sig Sauer to the Mexican military; and • the Mexican Army sells guns to police with no verifiable mechanisms to track U.S. firearm shipments. As a result, U.S. companies have exported assault weapons to police that violate human rights and collude with organized crime, including police who attacked and disappeared 43 students from Ayotzinapa. The two major earthquakes that shook Mexico in September caused billions of dollars in damages to homes, businesses, and infrastructure. Two hundred fifty thousand Mexicans lost their homes. U.S.-Mexico trade should benefit the majority of people in both countries, not arm forces that are destroying families and causing them to flee in search of refuge. The United States must stop weapons exports to end users in the Mexican military and police for whom there is documentation of collusion with organized crime or commission of gross human rights violations, until they have been brought to justice.

I'm petitioning for Too Short's last album to be a revisit to his roots. I want that funk, I need that funk. Somebody put an APB out for Shorty B and PeeWee, somebody tell Ant Banks to bring his big bad ass back round. We getting the gang back together for one more extended funk session...

Justice above all things. America can only remain great if it is just.

On Dec. 14, 2017 a decision could be made that would crush our right to choose what we read and /or discuss in this country. Every law or rule that has kept Americans informed and free is under attack. This change to internet rules will destroy the last vestige of free speech. Don't be fooled by the new tactic of using the private sector to impose censorship. Sign this petition or be forever in the dark...alone.
