• Thank you, Multnomah County Sheriff Mike Reese for upholding the law
    An undocumented immigrant who was recently arrested and accused of a felony had been released after previous arrests by the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office. Attorney General Jeff Sessions blamed Sheriff Reese for releasing him instead of holding him until ICE could detain him. But to do so would have been illegal: Sheriff Reese needed a court-issued criminal warrant to proceed, but received only a civil detainer, which has no legal standing in Oregon. In their war on immigrants, the DOJ and ICE are demanding that counties and states break their own laws. Thanks, Sheriff Reese, for refusing to detain immigrants unlawfully.

  • Make it illegal to have plan events during alabama games.
    I almost missed the game yesterday and this social injustice must stop. As men we are constantly bombarded with events that are designed to keep us from enjoying football. That is unconstitutional. As husbands that love our wives, we get put in a very uncomfortable position, and have to tag along at these unconstitutional events. Roll tide, and thank you in advance

  • Equifax Protection Act
    I am starting this petition because credit worthiness impacts many facets of all of our lives per Attorney General Eric Schneiderman from New York State. It not only impacts whether you can obtain a loan, but also how much you can borrow, what your interest rate will be, if you have to place a deposit for utilities, insurance rates, whether you can rent an apartment, employment opportunities and more. This is a serious loss of personal information that has impacted more than half of the American public and can for years to come.

  • SIGN THE PETITION: It's time for Congress to pass Medicare For All.
    Medicare For All would make quality, affordable healthcare available to everyone. Everyone is covered. Nobody goes broke paying a medical bill. Families don’t have to bear the costs of heartbreaking medical disasters on their own. We should not be at the mercy of private insurance companies that profit by denying care.

  • Legalize Marijuana in Indiana
    About legalizing a plant that helps people with all kinds of problems. I have used opioids for the severe pain that I am in all the time. They do not work, they are very expensive, very addicting, and they kill. People can get off of these deadly meds if they could use cannabis. Big Pharma and the people that buy into it are killing us. Please Free the cannabis.

  • Tell your State AG: Join the investigation of the Bayer-Monsanto merger
    If Bayer and Monsanto's merger goes through, the new company would be the world’s largest vegetable seed company. It would control seeds for many of the crops we eat regularly, like broccoli, carrots, and onions. In short, we’d be giving a single corporation unprecedented control of our food supply. We can’t let the future of our food system be handed over to Bayer and Monsanto. Help stop the Bayer-Monsanto merger: Take action NOW!

  • Tell the Senate Judiciary Committee: Block Trump's lifetime judicial appointments!
    Trump has nominated 27 federal judges in his first six months. And these nominees have a history of championing the causes of right-wing extremists -- from opposing affirmative action to claiming President Obama was not born in the U.S. If these nominees are confirmed, they could shred our civil rights and environmental protections for decades to come. We need your help to stop them! Sign the petition to the Senate Judiciary Committee: Stop Trump from stacking the courts with extremist judges!

  • Tell the company that owns Olive Garden: Say NO to the use of routine antibiotics
    Darden -- the owner of Olive Garden -- is still refusing to adopt a responsible policy to protect public health by limiting the use of antibiotics by its meat suppliers. Those antibiotics get into our food supply. They fuel the rise of antibiotic-resistant infections in people -- one of our nation's leading public health threats. In two weeks, Darden’s shareholders will vote on a proposal to prohibit its suppliers from giving antibiotics to animals that are not sick. We need your help to ramp up pressure on Darden to act! Tell the owner of Olive Garden: Stop serving meat that is raised with routine antibiotics!
