To promote a Vote By Mail system in the Hoosier state. Vote by Mail will provide protection against fraud and hacking--protections above and beyond Indiana's current election system, and it will save Indiana taxpayers an estimated $4.4 million dollars.

By creating a "Trick or Treat Day" that falls on the last Saturday of October, more children (and adults!) can enjoy visiting neighbors and not have the worries of staying up or being out too late on a school/work evening. This does not affect the religious celebrations of Halloween that will remain on the 31st. As a parent myself, I understand the frustration of both parents and homeowners when trick or treating falls on a school night. Many love this tradition but when it lands on a day during the week, it becomes a burden for parents and homeowners alike. By creating a "Trick or Treat Day" across Massachusetts as the last Saturday of October, then the inconvenience is alleviated and those who celebrate October 31st as a religious holiday can continue with their annual traditions. We believe that starting Massachusetts "Trick or Treat Day" in October of 2018 gives state residents plenty of time to adapt to the new day of celebration and candy giving!

To put an end to the heavy lobby of the NRA to control Congress no matter how dangerous NRA bills are to our citizens.

The media and public are distracted by tweets, when they should be demanding that the Leader and Speaker execute their Constitutional duty and remove an unfit President from office.

Now more than ever we need your help here in South Bend! We Congresswoman Jackie Walorski has launched a vicious attack on our reproductive rights by personally contacting the Indiana State Health Commissioner and requested that she deny South Bend a new health clinic. 70% of Americans believe women should have access to safe and legal abortions. With increasing medically-unnecessary regulations that impose an undue burden on a woman’s access to abortion, Indiana patients are forced to travel across state lines for the nearest clinic, turning them into medical refugees. Use of contraception, especially the most effective methods like IUDs and implants, does much more to reduce abortion rates than restrictive laws and denial of care. Recently, a non-profit organization that is committed to providing holistic reproductive health options, to include abortion care, as well as leading communities in advocacy, culture change, and education to eradicate abortion stigma has stepped forward in our community and they are ready to open a clinic in South Bend, Indiana. "We the undersigned support the legal and safe access to all forms of Reproductive Healthcare in South Bend, Indiana and ask Rep. Walorski to respect our bodies, our rights, and our choices. We believe women should become medical refugees by being forced to travel across state lines for reproductive health care." #ProtectOurCare

Pawtucket residents and small businesses have been dumped on long enough. We were not consulted. We had no say in this. Increased odor, rodents, traffic and environmental hazards are things that residents and small businesses ought to be consulted about but instead, the plan for this dirty monstrosity was pushed through secretly by Pawtucket's mayor.

The FTC’s role is to promote and safeguard competition, and the actions it has allowed by Facebook in recent history has clearly failed that obligation. They have broad legal authority to look into companies using their massive networks to stifle competition, and Facebook clearly fits that description. When Intragram presented a viable competitor to Facebook’s social media presence, they paid $1 billion to acquire them. When WhatsApp began competing against Facebook’s Messenger platform, Facebook spent $19 billion to stamp down on their potential competition. Facebook even developed a program, called Onavo, that uses user data to detect potentially competing services that Facebook users commonly utilize. Outside of the clear privacy concerns, this makes obvious to everyone that Facebook is using their social network to actively copy and undermine any fast-growing competitors. Sign this petition to stand up against using a massive market share to crush competitors, and for a fair and open dialogue about protecting our democracy.

Victims may not be able to pay their extreme medical and rehab expenses from this shooting because the NRA & congress are responsible for making billions from gun sales with no real gun control laws. These people should not have to suffer severe financial losses because there is no control over the NRA and it's profit machine.

Young women should not have to emotionally and economically suffer due to an unplanned pregnancy. These young woman deserve the right to have a choice.

Paul Manafort, President Trump's ex-campaign chair, was just indicted in Special Counsel Mueller’s investigation into Russian election meddling. We need to make sure the President can't fire Mueller in retaliation -- which he's already considered doing. Congress must take action IMMEDIATELY to ensure Trump can't interfere in Mueller's investigation. Investigations into criminal enterprises take time -- these are the first, but probably not the last criminal charges filed by Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russia's attempts to interfere in our elections, and whether Trump or his associates obstructed justice to cover it up. We must be prepared for anything. Trump has already considered firing Mueller -- which would trigger a constitutional crisis like we haven't seen since Watergate. The indictment of his former campaign chair is sure to trigger another backlash from Trump. Congress must put country over party and act now to protect Mueller's independence, and prevent Trump from firing him. It must send a signal that any interference in the investigation crosses a red line. Right now, senators and representatives are considering bipartisan legislation that would limit President Trump's ability to fire Special Counsel Robert Mueller or otherwise interfere with his investigation: the Special Counsel Integrity Act and the Special Counsel Independence Protection Act. We *must* use this moment to make Congress acts and passes these bills into law. Tell your members of Congress to add their names as co-sponsors of the bipartisan legislation to protect Mueller.
