Many children in schools do not feel safe, and sometimes they report it and schools do nothing about it! Kids can be extremely aggressive, and can break rules. (the rules we are targeting are specifically the ones that protect other kids) Often it happens in front of teachers and they do absolutely nothing about it! Mental health in children and teenagers needs to be a priority for schools, because school can cause mental issues, and mental issues can affect school performance. School can be hell for many students, and I believe that we should do something about that.

Helping to keep our community Safe

On ABC's "This Week With George Stephanopolous" today, UN Ambassador Nikki Haley said the following: “We need to be realistic with the fact at (sic), every person—regardless of race, religion, or party—who loves this country should support this president. It’s that important.” If this was not what she meant to say, she should retract and clarify it. If it was what she meant to say, she should resign immediately. Her statement, as it stands, not only shows disrespect for our fundamental right to free speech, as protected in the First Amendment to the Constitution, it is also an implied threat to everyone who loves this country but does not support "this president."

Democrats are too polite or way too laid back and as a result, the Republicans frankly beat us at every turn. Take a page out of the Republican playbook. They repeat, shout, demand, and win.

My Mother lives in a Nursing home in Illinois and I have a camera on her. Residents and Families are not aware of the law that allows them to have electronic monitoring. The abuse and neglect of our elderly needs to stop!

As a woman watching the debates between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, I personally felt violated.

Every year, 636,000 people walk out of prison gates, but people go to jail over 11 million times each year. Jail churn is particularly high because most people in jails have not been convicted. Some have just been arrested and will make bail in the next few hours or days, and others are too poor to make bail and must remain behind bars until their trial. Only a small number (195,000) have been convicted, generally serving misdemeanors sentences under a year. 1 in 5 people are locked up for drug offenses. The bottom 50% earned 20% of the nation's pre-tax income in 1979; this fell steadily to 14% by 2007 and 13% by 2014. ... Half of the U.S. population lives in poverty or is low-income, according to U.S. Census data. The ACA only works when everyone is insured--otherwise people wait until they are sick to buy insurance and this makes insurance unaffordable. In a Center for American Progress survey of roughly 3,000 DACA recipients, nine-tenths of respondents said they had jobs. Their average hourly wage was $17.46 an hour, up from $10.29 before receiving DACA. About 72 percent of respondents were in higher education. After getting DACA, nearly 80 percent of respondents said they got driver's licenses. About half became organ donors.

Pennsylvania would benefit greatly! The tax revenue and jobs that it would create would be enormous, not to mention the fact that marijuana is significantly less harmful then alcohol and cigarettes, both of which are perfect legal for adults, yet the government tells us that marijuana is a harmful drug. Smoking and drinking has killed countless people every year. Marijuana has never killed anyone. Stop telling us what is good for us and prove to us that your pockets are not being filled by big alcohol or the tobacco industry.

Democrats need a leader!

If we don't nip these traitorous actions by some Republican members of Congress....we will all lose grip on our great democracy. This is a real and present danger to our way of life.

As Target workers who are or support LGBTQ workers, we find it unconscionable that Target executives fund hate-based politicians who actively harm us as workers and members of the LGBTQ community. These actions by Target executives are completely at odds with their self-professed values of promoting diversity and inclusivity. We demand Target executives live up to their own standards and stop enabling hate. For more information please read our report "A Tale of Two Targets" at targetworkersunite.com

Undermining the Judiciary process is eroding our democracy. Members of the GOP who are arbitrarily initiating actions to discredit the Mueller investigation are obstructing the process, which could ultimately undermine our system of justice. The American people have a right to know whether or not these actions are supported by facts that warrant opening up closed investigations, such as the Clinton investigation, or opening up an investigation that discredits the author of the Steele Dossier. If there are no supporting facts, then there should be consequences for these GOP members and they must desist from commenting on the investigation so that it might be completed as intended by our forefathers - independently.
