Coalitions of Americans have grown movements over the past decade that led to The Resistance. And women of color, who have been at the forefront of social change throughout history, are playing a key role in The Resistance, providing leadership and organizing their communities. The Resistance is a bigger and more influential than the Tea Party ever was, and in 2011, CNN broadcast the Tea Party's State of the Union response to a nationwide audience, saying, "The Tea Party has become a major force in American politics and within the Republican Party." Activists working to change America at the grassroots level should have an opportunity to respond to the President's speech. Movement leaders who have been working in the fights for racial justice, immigration justice, voting rights, LGBTQIA rights, healthcare, economic justice, and more, are ready to respond. The Resistance is not slowing down: millions of women and caring allies marched the day after the President's inauguration in 2017, and record numbers marched across the country again this month. Tell CNN and other networks to air a State of the Union response from The Resistance.

While nearly 60% of Americans believe Trump to be unfit to be President, what is keeping Congress from fulfilling its Constitutional Responsibility to stop a dangerous President is the fact that virtually every Congressional Republican in both chambers continues to ignore and strive to deny the problems and dangers created by this President. They must remember that, while they represent their district or state, in a time of crisis such as today it becomes time to lead, not to follow in order to stay faithful to and to protect our nation. Here is some of the evidence of President Trump’s serious incapacities: • As commander in chief, he is derelict in his duty to lead efforts to protect the nation from serious, extensive, and prolonged cyberattacks by Russia. • He has demonstrated repeatedly that he lacks impulse control; he reacts without hesitation to every perceived insult, large or small, with outrage, vindictiveness, and disdain, without regard to consequences. • As documented by many sources, he makes countless statements that are demonstrably lies. He radically and unpredictably changes his position on issues and policy, making governing impossible.polarizing the nation. • His deep insecurity leads him repeatedly to cultivate support from racist and nationalist individuals and groups. Congress: It is time to act.

The borderlands are my home, which I happily share with members of diverse cultures and with precious threatened and endangered species. I oppose any wall, but to save this precious part of the US, at the very least any wall that is built must comply with all applicable environmental laws.

U.S.-citizen Allison Blixt and her Italian wife Stefania Zaccari have two happy, healthy sons. Stefania gave birth to their son Lucas, and Allison gave birth to their son Massi. Because Allison was born and raised in the United States, she is able to pass her citizenship on to her children even though they were born abroad. However, the State Department refused to recognize Lucas’s citizenship and denied that Lucas was her son. The State Department explicitly informed the couple that it was using a policy applicable solely to unwed mothers, even though the couple were married when Lucas was born! Andrew Dvash-Banks and his husband Elad have a similar story, except their sons also happen to be twins. One twin was recognized as a U.S. citizen and the other is living in the U.S. on a tourist visa! Join us in demanding the U.S. State Department change this discriminatory policy!

Workers' compensation is not protecting its workers. Based on the changes of 2007, if you were hurt prior to 2007, your compensation is based on wages the year you were injured, not your current wage. I had to go out on workers compensation in 2015 for surgery from a 2002 injury and was paid 18.75% of current wages. In 2002, I had 0 children, in 2015 I had 3. My property and school taxes weren't reduced to 18.75 %. When welfare pays more than WC, the system is terribly broken and doesn't protect the worker at all. This was my second cervical fusion and it has failed, I have been asked if I want another surgery and I keep pushing it off. Am I going to have to set up a GO FUND ME page, since NYS laws sold me out as a worker? I had rainy day money saved, I survived. Would you? I will not again. NY has been proposing changes to the system in 2017 - 2018 and it will only make it even worse.

After the brutal weather we've had, there are too many people who shouldn't be allowed to have pets. Rescue groups work 24/7 volunteering to rescue pets and animals. Very strict laws, punishments and follow-up caate is needed.

My name is Kenneth Green and I am a disabled American citizen living in the mile-high city of Denver. I am someone who’s disabilities onset around the time that I was born. I can't tell you how much Medicaid/Medicare have helped me. I would be dead without it. My wife is a hard worker, who works two jobs and yet her Medicaid is under threat and we don’t make enough to get coverage from the Colorado Marketplace. My petition is to send a signal to legislatures in Colorado that this issue is not merely about numbers on a balance sheet. This issue is about peoples lives and the quality thereof. Trump is threatening to make overhauls that could cripple the Medicaid program as we know it. I am hoping by getting enough support on this petition, that legislative officials can know how serious an issue this is to the people of Colorado. Maybe this can affect change in our legislature. Maybe our elected officials will understand that if they support a TrumpCare law that their own tenure as officials can be at risk for we have power to vote them out next election. Without these benefits I would be dead and so would my wife. Therefore, I am so passionate about this issue. I joined Move On via the Resistance Summer movement which I was ecstatic about! And now I am hoping to use their platform to raise awareness about this issue hopefully not just in Colorado but the entire United States!

If the administration won't show compassion and allow people access to safer pain relief, the General Assembly needs to. Is it a good use of state resources to appeal the court's decision on including chronic pain in the medical cannabis program? Tell Governor Rauner to drop the appeal and allow pain patients access to the medical cannabis program.

State Senator David Carlucci has not caucused with Democrats in the senate since he was elected in 2010. Instead he has allied himself with Republicans, allowing the GOP to control the chamber and block or water down all progressive legislation. We voters thought we elected a Democrat but we were wrong. It's up to the leadership of our party now to work seriously to find and support a REAL Democrat to primary Carlucci so Rockland and Westchester voters are not continuing to enable the Trump agenda in New York by sending a turncoat to the senate.

The people of Nebraska need Planned Parenthood locations in our State. This is a service used by both men and woman. The funding of Planned Parenthood should not be a political decision. It should be an independent decision to help the residents of the State of Nebraska. Please let your Senators know you want Planned Parenthood funded in the State of Nebraska.
