To get semi automatic and automatic weapons off our streets and it can only begin to happen if politicians refuse to take money from the NRA

I am sick of the Republican's lame excuses for doing NOTHING to stop these massacres, because they serve the NRA, not their constituents.

The current rules for reporting credit are unfair to consumers and do not provide an accurate indication of credit risk which denies credit to deserving people and forces man consumers to pay higher interest rates than they should.

The purpose of the Second Amendment has been completely distorted by well financed special interests leaving all Americans vulnerable to deadly use of military grade semi-automatic weapons. Representative Lee Zeldin received $33,732 from the National Rifle Association and members of its staff. He must show the courage to put the lives and well-being of constituents above money, or we should remove him from office on November 6, 2018.

Mike Pence flew 3,300 miles in Air Force Two on a Trump-promoted stunt—spending millions in the process—just so he could insult NFL players taking a knee for racial justice. After some players knelt during the national anthem at a recent Indianapolis Colts game, Pence walked out of the stadium, later saying in a statement "I stand with President Trump, I stand with our soldiers, and I will always stand for our Flag and our National Anthem."2 It was an obvious media stunt, designed to continue the administration's racist attacks on athletes peacefully demonstrating against police brutality and systematic racism. Unlike our vice president and Donald Trump, I actually served in the military, and I am 100% in support of the athletes calling attention to our broken, unjust system. I don't appreciate it when Trump and Pence talk about veterans and the flag to hide their own racist agenda, and I don't appreciate a expensive, taxpayer-funded publicity stunt to advance their politics of hate. Join me in telling Pence to pay us back for his stunt.

I'm tired of watching my countrymen gunned down with these weapons that have no other purpose than to kill people. With this most recent mass shooting in Las Vegas, we must act quickly to safeguard Americans.

The NRA's financial hold on our Congress is overwhelming, and it is one of the primary reasons why, in the wake of national tragedies like we witnessed in Las Vegas, we remain unable to pass commonsense gun laws. This needs to change.

ICE agents under Trump have operated unchecked. Agents are detaining immigrants outside schools, churches, hospitals, and courthouses -- "sensitive" locations where they're not supposed to operate. ICE should be abolished.

In the 2016 Presidential Election, my partner and I went to cast our vote for the party which we intended to vote for that year. We learned that 1. only people registered as Democrat or Republican were allowed to cast a vote in the NYS primaries, and 2. we would have had to switch our 193 DAYS before the election, which we didn't find out until well past time! New York State has THE most prohibitive party switching measures in the US, and it silences nearly 30% of voters in New York! This is not how a democracy is run.

I am terrified to see where this man will lead our country! I see us headed to another war, I see women's rights going back to the 1800's, and I see all of us headed back to the days of the holocaust .

I have done everything in my power to get my 2 children back out of Foster Care this case worker that i have had in the past 3 years has done nothing but be against me in every aspect. She has talked to me like trash and has even made the comment that " I dont deserve my kids" i just cant live with this i have done everything and when i say everything i have done it. I have took every class took every drug screen and hair folicals and PASSED. I have maintained my home im a single mother and work every single day. My reason for this petition is too get this case worker Felishia Crouch investaged and to also proove a point that im not the only one they have done this too. I just dont feel like she can do the things she is doing and saying they are holding my kids from me because of a man that they SAY im with when im not witch is the kids farther. I even went and got a year DVO out on him to try and proove myself but they still continue to call me a lier and took my visits away and my court date was 3 months away. So here i am trying to fight for my life and get my children and my worker has just given up. In my heart i know i can do something and make this happen but i need yalls help. Please sign away friends of friends family member anyone !!!! Thank you

So why is it that we portray statues in major cities of pro-confederates (those that support slavery) throughout our nation? This needs to be reconsidered, greatly. Those who oppose getting rid of the pro-confederate monuments suggest that it erases a part of their ancerstry and it means a lot to them because it's a part of their heritage and their history. However the confederate flag and its monuments symbolize one thing: the belief that owning a black person is right and that they are the subordinate race. Slavery is a harsh and unusual punishment that humans dictated over others and it is wrong. It's not something we should continue to glorify via monuments or flags. We can still teach people our history without making it seem like our cultural views about slavery and freedom seem one sided. Culturally, why do we even have these monuments here? They're not promoting what we want our nation to be which is together AND united. Hate crime has been on the rise since these monuments have landed and if we can get rid of them that would mean a lot to the lives of millions of people that oppose confederate monuments.
