Ban assault and semi/automatic weapons and ammunitionThere are insufficient regulations, laws or licensure to keep mentally healthy, law abiding citizens safe from weapons of mass destruction, which is what automatic, semi automatic and assault weapons are in the hands of the public. The congress has proven unable to provide for the general public safety on this issue and the public must take action!36 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Eileen F Feret

We need a real solution for the heroin, fentanyl, oxycontin, and opioid epidemicThe opioid epidemic is hurting real people: every 10 minutes, a mother, child, friend, neighbor, or fellow American dies from a drug overdose. Yesterday, Donald Trump declared the opioid crisis a national emergency—more than two months after he first committed to the declaration, and potentially more than 10,000 overdoses later. But without significant new funds for a long-term, comprehensive strategy for both prevention and treatment, a national emergency alone is not likely to be successful.20,820 of 25,000 SignaturesCreated by Matt Hildreth, RuralOrganizing.org

Sussex County (Delaware) needs our feedback on a pickeball venueSussex County is asking the public to offer feedback on a multi-million-dollar project to create a sports complex that would serve youth and adults in southern Delaware, beginning as early as the spring of 2019. County officials received a presentation by the Sussex Sports Center Foundation on Sept. 26, 2017, that envisions a new public facility – for residents and visitors to Sussex County – featuring soccer, lacrosse, field hockey, and touch football fields, pickleball courts, playground equipment, as well as walking and cross-country trails, just off Sand Hill Road in the Town of Georgetown. The complex would serve youth clubs, local schools, and adult recreation leagues, as well as the general public. Proposed as a public-private partnership, the foundation members have asked Sussex County to provide $1.5 million in financial support for the $4.4 million project, with the option to eventually take over ownership of the athletic and recreation complex. In addition to financial support, the project must receive land use approval from the Town of Georgetown. To learn more about the proposal, view the information packet at: https://sussexcountyde.gov/sites/default/files/PDFs/Sussex_Sports_Center_092617.pdf.

Section 35 quality careNO one should ever be treated the way people are treated when sent to Plymouth on a section . They are NOT inmates that are people who need help with substance abuse . Guards have no right to treat them any less . We need to help them instead of knocking them down further and major changes need to happen before more kids die. We must demand change, and Plymouth needs to be investigated .85 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kris Perry Long

Don't Let Silencers On Guns! Stop the SHUSH Act!ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! We must stop the SHUSH Act from becoming law! The public should be able to attend concerts, sporting events, or other large gatherings without having to worry about a madman with an assault rifle and a SILENCER! In the latest mass shooting in Las Vegas, with at least 50 killed, people could HEAR the gun shots, and were warned there was an active shooter from the noise. There is no logic to enabling silencers, and yet the #CorruptGOP led Congress is set to once again do the NRA's bidding. NO to the SUSH ACT!2,180 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Maria Schafer

Take the Pledge: Oil Money OutPetition Background Starting this petition because the fossil fuel industry cannot be trusted. They have a history of buying influence and candidate loyalty. The fossil fuel industry has a reputation for investing money in candidates who will return the favor from a position of power as Lawmakers, Chief Executives and Financial Officers. We cannot trust a candidate that takes money from an industry that is a corruption of all of our inherent and intrinsic values that are grounded in community and family--an industry that has no regard for clean air and water or a governing body we can trust. Taking the pledge means that a candidate’s campaign will adopt a policy to not knowingly accept any direct contributions from companies associated with PACs, trade associations or executives whose primary business is the extraction, processing, distribution, or sale of oil, gas, or coal. The Western States Petroleum Association is a “non-profit trade association” that represents companies that account for the bulk of petroleum exploration, production, refining, transportation and marketing in the five western states of California, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, and Nevada. The Western States Petroleum Association (WSPA) is the largest and most powerful corporate lobbying group in the West and California. The Western States Petroleum Association led the oil industry lobbying expenses with $49,491,104 followed by Chevron with $24,035,901 and Phillips 66 with $4,821,144. WSPA’s membership includes a who’s who oil, energy and pipeline corporations including Aera Energy LLC, Chevron, Californian Resources Corporation (formerly Occidental Petroleum), ConocoPhillips, ExxonMobil, Noble Energy, Inc., Phillips 66, Plains All American, Inc. Shell Oil Products US, Tesoro Refining and Marketing and Valero. I would have a great deal of confidence and trust in any candidate that can sign this pledge.51 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jeanne Blackwell
