Stationary Apartment-living for SeniorsCurrently, an estimated 46 million Baby Boomers are eligible to retire this year, and many of us (who are single or widowed) are already enjoying the luxury of (no-maintenance) apartment-living. However, what seems to be 'trending now' are out-of-state (and sometimes, out-of-touch) property-management companies who are buying-to-renovate (most often) sub-standard apartment complexes, which may be good for (their) business, but at the same time, is critical for many seniors who are now facing displacement or the possibility of becoming homeless. Most of us aren't advised that our leases aren't automatically being renewed until after we've signed another lease (as it was in my case), so now we're confronted with 2-year waiting lists or 'no longer accepting applications' should we 'be required' to move and find residency elsewhere. And our Social Security income will never increase to an amount where we can either afford the newly-renovated units (which have increased to $200 or more), or meet the '3x-your-rent' requirement should we have to move. Therefore, we'd like to be 'grandfathered-in' (so to speak) to our current apartment homes. We're reliable, and we intend to 'stay-put', both good reasons why management companies can 'bank' on us.11 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Shandelle Hull

No Homework for StudentsNo Homework for Students! Students get enough Classwork as it is, so there's no need for extra "work." Also, teachers give us Homework to recap their lessons and to see if you need more help on it. Yes, that's great but that's why we get classwork!!! Students want more free time but they can't get it because of Homework. See what I mean!?.15 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ian Maggi

Stop Rep. Tom Marino--opioid industry advocate--as drug czarTrump has nominated Rep. Tom Marino as head of the DEA. Rep. Marino was the chief advocate in Congress of legislation that now prevents DEA from going after drug distributors killing thousands in overdoses. We need to stop the flow of opiated pills to bad doctors and pharmacists.34 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Todd Wolff

Congress should enact a Bi-Partisan bill to protect Health Markets and loss of Subsidies by Trump...President Trump's executive orders cancelling Health Care Subsidies and creating Inter-State Markets will cause Insurance companies to raise premiums over 20%. Inter State markets will allow smaller Insurance plans that will cut out pre-existing conditions and seriously effect premiums for those existing under Affordable Care Act. Congress MUST first enact an emergency measure replacing subsidies that have been revoked by President Trump and place a moratorium on any premium increases by Insurance Companies; and continue work on a Bi-Partisan measure to create a strong system of Health Care Markets.36 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Michael Steiner

Rescind Cuba "Travel Warning", Restore US VisasThe State Department and White House have yielded to pressure from a hard line minority of Cuban Americans to reverse President Obama's historic steps toward more normal relations between the US and Cuba. Senator Marco Rubio has exploited fear and uncertainty about the health situation of US intelligence agents and other personnel in Havana to endanger rapidly growing travel that fosters mutual understanding and trust. He fears hundreds of thousands of Americans annually forming their own opinion about bilateral relations, countless Cuban entrepreneurs creating a better future for their families and the construction of a vibrant Cuban community across the Florida Straits. Cooperation and engagement are the only path to resolve outstanding issues, not the drastic and precipitous removal of both countries' essential embassy staff.

Cuba Travel Warning a Political GameCuban American extremists have exploited unexplained health problems of US government personnel in Havana to try to roll back the historic normalization of diplomatic relations achieved by the Obama Administration. Their immediate target is the burgeoning travel that has fostered mutual understanding and trust. They fear hundreds of thousands of Americans annually forming their own opinion about Cuba, countless Cuban entrepreneurs creating a better future for their families and the creation of a vibrant community across the Straits of Florida. .171 of 200 SignaturesCreated by John McAuliff

Tell Congress: Don't let Trump start World War IIII served our nation at the Defense Intelligence Agency, where I specialized in Iran, and I can tell you that Donald Trump’s reckless saber-rattling is putting American lives and global stability at risk. Donald Trump requested $54 billion in additional funds for things like fighter jets, air craft carriers, and nuclear weapons--even as his budget proposes deep cuts into the U.S. State Department and foreign aid. The message is clear: instead of putting diplomacy first, Trump is stripping away our ability to negotiate with other countries and increasing the risk of all-out war. To make matters worse, Trump has taken to Twitter, seemingly seeking to goad or shame China, even while he continues to antagonize the North Korean leadership. Even Republican Senator Bob Corker recently said that Trump is putting the US “on the path to World War III.” The stakes couldn’t be higher, and we can’t remain silent. Trump's reckless Pentagon spending and bellicose rhetoric should prompt all congressional lawmakers to state right now that they will not support the Trump launching a war of choice. MoveOn members championed strategic and lasting diplomacy with Iran and were the backbone of the resistance to the Iraq war. Let's make it clear to Members of Congress that we're prepared to once again flood the streets in cities and towns across the country to stop Trump’s war making.401 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Nate Terani
