A horrific death toll across the Middle East is quickly rising as a result of illegal U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iran: Among those killed are nearly 150 people at a girls’ elementary school in Iran, three U.S. servicemembers, and at least nine people in the Israeli city of Beit Shemesh. Trump upended promising diplomatic negotiations with missiles and fighter jets. The violence quickly spread across the region, with reports of strikes in Israel, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Bahrain. Today, the bombs continue to fall, and hundreds of millions of people across the Middle East are terrified and directly in harm’s way. Congress cannot stay on the sidelines any longer. We must do all we can to stop the violence immediately. The House and the Senate must pass war powers resolutions (WPR) to end this war before it spirals further. The stakes are perilous, but votes are already being planned. As lawmakers decide how to respond, they need to hear the demands of their constituents — our overwhelming anti-war majority — to vote YES on the WPR.

CONTINUATION OF SECTION 3 above Section 3.3: Executive Branch * If the people of the United States, after a Senate impeachment trial, convict and remove a member of the executive branch, in a national election. Vacancy shall be filled in accordance with this Constitution and statute.  * If the people initiate a recall election of the executive branch, the President and the Vice-President shall be recalled at the same time in a national election.  • Congress shall engage and compensate the International IDEA, OSCE, or UN to oversee the recall and replacement elections of both MEMBERS OF THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH by the people of the United States.  • The first national special election shall determine whether to recall the executive branch. AFTER ten of the twenty States with a recall process have satisfied the quorum to recall the executive branch of the federal government.  • If the EXECUTIVE BRANCH is removed from office by a recall election,  • The terms of the President and Vice President shall end at noon on Thursday, within 48 hours of election day. • The Congress may choose an interim temporary executive branch according to the Constitution. • A second consecutive special election shall take place to elect a NEW EXECUTIVE BRANCH of the federal government. A majority vote of the people within each State and at least twenty-six of the fifty States shall be necessary during a special, midterm, or presidential election. LIST OF GRIEVANCES _________President Donald J. Trump_____________ has committed many of the Tyrannic actions performed by the King of Great Britain and listed in our Declaration of Independence and more. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.  • The law, 18 USC § 208, which exempts the President/Vice President, encourages corruption and contradicts Amendment Article XIV of the Constitution, equal protection under the law.     WHY WE NEED TO AMEND THE CONSTITUTION NOW. The branches of the federal government (the legislative, executive, and judicial) are abdicating their Constitutional duties, checks and balances, and making decisions based on partisanship, allowing violations of the Constitution with no consequences.  • The Supreme Court on July 1, 2024, ruled that former President Trump is at least presumptively immune from criminal liability for his official acts. However, our Constitution clearly states that NO ONE is above the law, definitely those who have taken “an oath.” • The United States Senate’s impeachment trials (Article I, Section 3) provide evidence that the Constitution has been violated by members of Congress, the executive, and judicial branches (Article I, Section 9; Article II, Section 4;  Article VI); however, no one has been convicted or removed due to partisanship. OUR FOUNDING FATHERS: Our Declaration of Independence states, whenever any form of government becomes destructive, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. • George Washington's Farewell Address warns against hyper-partisanship and factions, and stresses adherence to the Constitution and public virtue. He advised leaders to serve the common good and respect governmental checks and balances. • Alexander Hamilton was concerned that an “unprincipled” man would “mount the hobby horse of popularity” and “throw things into confusion. In a government like ours.” He would write, “No one is above the law.” In 2025, George Washington and Alexander Hamilton’s concerns have come to pass with Trump. It would be naïve to think Trump’s cronies and the younger generations watching federal officials will stop trying to silence journalists, threatening physical harm to political opponents, and denying Citizens' right to earn a livelihood. HOW TO AMEND THE CONSTITUTION NOW? HOW. WE THE PEOPLE URGE that two-thirds of both Houses of Congress vote in favor and propose to the States an amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Then, WE THE PEOPLE URGE that the Legislatures of three-fourths of the several States ratify the amendment (Article V). THE ALTERNATIVE IS TO ELECT ACCOUNTABLE REPRESENTATIVES. • Article I states, “the right of the people to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”  • Article X states, “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” We have the precedents, technology, and processes, which were not available when the Constitution was originally ratified in a convention on September 17, 1789. • PRECEDENT. Amendment 17, ratified in 1913, shifted U.S. Senator selection from state legislatures to popular direct election, eliminating "smoky backroom" deals by state legislators.  • TECHNOLOGY. In 1982, without the internet, Gregory Watson, a 19-year-old college sophomore, initiated a long-term campaign for Amendment 27, which was proposed in 1789 as part of the original Bill of Rights and finally ratified on May 7, 1992.  • RECALL PROCESS. 20 States (AZ, CA, CO, MI, NV, ND, WI, AK, GA, ID, IL, KS, LA, MN, MT, NJ, OR, RI, WA, VA) have recall elections, allowing citizens to attempt to remove from office elected State officials.

Scouting has always been about preparing young people for leadership, service, and responsible citizenship. The Citizenship in Society merit badge and related DEI initiatives were not political add-ons — they were tools to help Scouts develop essential leadership skills. In today’s world, leadership requires the ability to: • Engage respectfully with people from different backgrounds • Recognize and manage bias • Navigate disagreement without hostility • Build trust across differences These are not partisan concepts. They are core citizenship competencies. Removing structured opportunities for Scouts to learn and practice these skills sends the message that navigating diversity is optional rather than essential. It narrows the definition of citizenship at a time when young people need broader preparation, not less. This petition is not about ideology. It is about leadership development. Parents, volunteers, alumni, and community members should care because: • Scouting’s credibility depends on preparing youth for the real world. • Character is strengthened through exposure to different perspectives, not isolation from them. • The Scout Oath and Law call for respect, fairness, and service to others — values that require understanding and inclusion. If Scouting retreats from teaching inclusive citizenship, it risks weakening the very foundation it claims to uphold. Those who believe Scouting should prepare young people to lead in a complex and diverse society have a responsibility to speak clearly and constructively. This is that moment.

Others should join this campaign for change because creating an inclusive and accepting school environment benefits everyone—not just LGBT+ students or those who express themselves differently. When all students feel safe and respected, it leads to better mental health, increased academic achievement, and a stronger sense of community. Discrimination and exclusion harm the entire school culture by fostering fear, division, and missed opportunities for understanding. By standing up for fairness and dignity, supporters can help ensure that schools are places where every child has the opportunity to thrive without fear of bullying or judgment. This campaign is about affirming basic human rights and modeling kindness, empathy, and respect for future generations. Joining together amplifies our voices and demonstrates a united commitment to building a better, more equitable educational environment for all.

In his State of the Union address, Trump threatened Iran and refused to rule out launching strikes in a dangerous push toward a new endless war. Congress must block this reckless march immediately. The stakes are perilous: Even limited strikes could ignite violence that could quickly cross multiple borders, with no clear end. Any U.S. military operation will have untold and deadly consequences for people in Iran, U.S. servicemembers, and millions across the region. That’s why we’re racing to stop any action before it starts. Reps. Khanna and Massie’s bipartisan war powers resolution (WPR) to prohibit the use of force against Iran is expected to get a vote in the House as soon as next week. Sens. Kaine and Paul’s parallel Senate legislation is likely to come up soon as well. With these critical votes happening soon, lawmakers need to hear from constituents like you immediately. It’s pressure from groups like ours and people like you that can get a WPR the support it needs to send Trump an undeniable message: No War.

Recent documents released by the DOJ reveal eight people listed as co-conspirators: Les Wexner, billionaire and former CEO of Victoria’s Secret; Lesley Groff, Epstein’s longtime secretary; the late modeling agent Jean-Luc Brunel; and Ghislaine Maxwell—who was convicted of sex trafficking charges and is serving a 20-year prison sentence. Four other names are still redacted. Epstein’s co-conspirators helped recruit and abuse victims for years while using their power and privilege to avoid consequences. Not charging them is an affront to survivors everywhere, and to everyone demanding the truth about who is complicit in Epstein’s abuse of young women and girls. These co-conspirators are blatantly complicit in Epstein’s crimes, and the DOJ must hold them accountable by bringing charges! Sign the petition.

New Jersey was the 14th state to enact a medical “marijuana” law, on Jan. 10, 2010. All of the other states that went before us included patient home grow provisions in their laws to help ease patients’ financial access to this expensive medical weed. 

This is important because Pleasant Valley Cemetery, founded in 1963 during the Civil Rights era, represents more than a burial ground  it represents dignity, resilience, and the right of Black families to honor their loved ones in a space created when segregation still limited access elsewhere. Driving a vehicle across graves is not just physical damage; it is emotional harm to families and a painful reminder of the long history of Black burial sites being neglected and disrespected. Cemeteries are sacred spaces, and when they are violated, it impacts entire communities. Protecting and restoring this cemetery is about accountability, preservation of history, and ensuring our ancestors are treated with the respect they deserve.

Violence erupted in Mexico recently after a Mexican military raid killed a powerful cartel kingpin. As the cartel responded by setting buses, supermarkets, and banks on fire and blocking highways, tourists were stranded and schools were closed. Dozens of people have been killed. The dark truth is that this violence is fueled by a flood of U.S. guns. Weak U.S. gun laws result in an unlicensed market that pumps up to 500,000 U.S.-made guns to cartels each year. One study traced nearly 70% of guns recovered at Mexican crime scenes back to U.S. manufacturers or importers. This deadly ‘iron river’ of guns exacerbates violence and suffering across both borders. It’s time to dam it up. Sen. Dick Durbin and Rep. Joaquin Castro introduced the Stop Arming Cartels Act to curb cartel power and corruption. This bill isn’t just about stopping international crime — it’s about keeping people, on both sides of the border, safe. It deserves bipartisan support, and you can pressure your lawmakers to pass this urgent legislation by sending a message today:

This petition matters because the “Tr*mpstein” Files Transparency Act was meant to finally shine a light on one of the most powerful criminal networks in modern history and to deliver real accountability for the victims of Jeffrey *pstein and his associates. When the Department of Justice withholds or alters records, especially those tied to serious allegations. It undermines the rule of law and weakens the public’s faith that justice applies to everyone, no matter how powerful they are. Congress promised transparency and bipartisan oversight, not selective disclosure or partisan spin. When lawmakers misrepresent what the law requires or ignore the DOJ’s failure to release key evidence, it betrays survivors who have already spent years fighting to be heard. Calling for a full and fair investigation isn’t about politics. It’s about restoring integrity to our institutions, protecting victims’ rights, and proving that no one is beyond accountability when truth and justice are on the line.

The Department of Homeland Security has a disturbing history of creating unsafe conditions for people being detained. Last summer, hundreds of people faced potential diseases from swarms of mosquitoes, dangerous flooding conditions, and limited access to water while detained at the inhumane Everglades Detention Camp, also known as “Alligator Alcatraz.”  Public opposition to these expanded detention centers is only continuing to grow. This is the time to speak out and demand an END to this ruthless campaign against our neighbors. That means:  • Congress must pass legislation to empower city and state elected leaders to oppose ICE taking over warehouses in their communities. • State and local officials must explore every avenue, from legislation to zoning laws to putting pressure on developers, in order to prevent the sale of warehouses to DHS and ICE. • Residents in neighborhoods with proposed sites must speak out and put pressure on local government to stop projects. We cannot allow ICE and the Trump administration to keep expanding its inhumane deportations. Sign the petition to say NO warehouses for detention centers!

If you care about the safety of others, you see why this is a problem. ICE is nothing but trouble all over the country
