I'm a loyal customer of Marriott who is dismayed to hear they are hosting an event for an anti-Muslim radical right hate group - Act for America. The Southern Poverty Law Center designates ACT for America an anti-Muslim hate group. I and other loyal customers will cancel our business with Marriott if they continue to host this type of event.

We are frightened by Trump's foolish bluster. The whole world is endangered. This is an emergency.

A federal judge is paid to act impartially and lawfully. Section 455(a) "requires a judge to recuse herself in any proceeding in which her impartiality might reasonably be questioned." It is important that the litigant not only actually receive justice, but that he believes that he has received justice." Judge Renee Bumb is breaking the law, violating Ms. Smalls' rights and refusing to recuse herself from the case. Everyone deserves a fair trial.

There has been too many qualified Hurricane Harvey disaster victims being denied cash assistance with money that has been specifically donated to the Red Cross for Texans

I do not support reversing the ACA.

The effects of climate change are obvious at this point and is a nightmare come to life. A major contributor to the devastation we are currently seeing is from the fossil fuel emitions being released by about 1.2 BILLION gas powered vehicles throughout the world. The U.S. alone has about 253 MILLION gas powered vehicles contributing to the widespread damage to our environment. We must act immediately to save our world for future generations to come. We must join the rest of the major countries of the world by taking similar action.

Tax reform should start at the top and not cast undue burden on the bottom.

Last year, Donald Trump said he would "love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, 'Get that son of a bitch off the field right now, he's fired.'" And recently, he doubled down and is calling for them to be deported!? Trump continues to attack professional athletes who choose to express their beliefs when they are different than his own. The rights of every American are threatened by our president's unconstitutional acts.

Maria Mendoza-Sanchez is a well-known and loved oncology nurse. She and her husband, Eusebio, moved to the United States 23 years ago and have raised their children here, contributed to our country, and never broken any laws. But because of our broken immigration system in which there’s not even a line to stand in to get legal status, Maria and her husband have been unfairly cast out of our country as their children stay behind. President Trump said that his administration would only round up people who have broken laws, but Maria Mendoza-Sanchez is a trained oncology nurse, has never broken a law, and is a beloved community member. Trump lied and now the United States is unfairly kicking out highly qualified cancer nurses like Maria at a time the country is facing a severe nursing shortage. Sen. Dianne Feinstein said in a prepared statement, “This is a travesty, plain and simple, and evidence that Donald Trump’s immigration ‎policy is nothing more than a hateful deportation program targeting law-abiding families. It’s shameful and stands against the very ideals upon which this country was founded.” She has introduced a bill that would provide relief for the Mendoza-Sanchez family, giving them permanent resident status. Sign on now in support of this bill and help reunite the Mendoza-Sanchez family.

On Monday September 18, 2017, the Decatur City Commission voted unanimously to adopt a resolution that, among other things, condemns white supremacy. The City can now put that condemnation to action by passing a non-detainer policy whereby local law enforcement will not prolong the detention of an immigrant per request of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) without a judicially issued warrant. Six counties and cities around metro Atlanta, including DeKalb County, already have resolutions and policies limiting collaboration with ICE. However, Decatur has yet to act. In the wake of Trump’s revocation of President Obama’s EO granting Deferred Action to Childhood Arrivals (DACA), the Atlanta City Council voted overwhelmingly to adopt a non-detainer policy drafted by Project South, the Georgia Latino Alliance for Human Rights, and the Georgia Not1More Coalition. Now it’s time for Decatur to do the same. Members of the Georgia Not1More Coalition provided Decatur City Mayor Patti Garrett and Decatur City Manager Peggy Merriss a similar Non-Detainer policy over three months ago and yet the City has made no affirmative steps to adopt it. This is unacceptable. As our immigrant friends and neighbors live in fear of ICE raids and arrests we must show our love and support for them by urging the City Commission to adopt the resolution below, drafted and presented to the Decatur City Mayor and City Manager by Project South, the Georgia Latino Alliance for Human Rights, and the Georgia Not1More Coalition, which is in compliance with current state and federal law. The City needs to adopt this policy as a statement of support to our immigrant friends and neighbors, who live in fear of ICE coming into their homes, places of work and worship, brutalizing them and their families and communities. If this City truly believes it is a Welcoming City and a Compassionate City, then it is time for them stand behind their words and adopt this resolution. Otherwise the resolutions declaring the City as Welcoming and Compassionate are empty. Based on the foregoing, we, the signers of this petition, demand that the City of Decatur and the City Police of Decatur adopt the following non-detainer policy: The Decatur Police Department shall not detain or extend the detention of any individual at the request of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) unless ICE first presents the Decatur Police Department with a judicially issued warrant authorizing such detention. In particular, Decatur Police Department officials shall not arrest, detain, extend the detention of, transfer custody of, or transport anyone solely on the basis of an immigration detainer or an administrative immigration warrant, including an administrative immigration warrant in the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) database. At no time may the Decatur Police Department detain a subject for additional time beyond when the criminal matter allows release solely to notify ICE of the subject’s release or to facilitate transfer to ICE. The Decatur Police Department shall not treat a detainer or request for notification as an indication that an individual is unlawfully present.Prior to any investigative interview of an individual in Decatur Police Department’s custody, ICE must notify the subject inmate’s attorney, provide a reasonable opportunity for counsel to be present during the interview, and certify to the Decatur Police Department that this notice and opportunity has occurred. Any person who alleges a violation of this policy may file a written complaint for investigation with the Decatur Police Department and with the internal complaints division of the Decatur Police Department.
