• Don't let Congress gut Mueller's Russia investigation!
    One Member of Congress is trying to use the government funding process to attack Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into whether or not the President and his campaign team were involved in Russia’s attempts to interfere in our elections. We can't let the rest of Congress go along with him. Last week, Rep. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) introduced an amendment to a major spending bill that would end funding for Mueller's investigation after 180 days -- and prevent the probe from looking into anything that happened before Trump made a formal announcement for his campaign in July 2015. The proposal cuts against our commitment to the rule of law -- 80% of Americans believe Mueller should be allowed to finish his investigation. And there are multiple bills before Congress with bipartisan support that would protect Mueller from presidential interference. But Congress has a bad habit of rolling unrelated ideological proposals like this into must-pass legislation in order to push through their pet proposals. Now, Rep. DeSantis is trying to use the threat of a funding crisis to deny Americans the answers we deserve about Russian election meddling. Our representatives in Congress have a duty to hold the executive branch accountable -- not abuse the legislative process to cover for him. Congress must pass a clean spending bill without ideological riders and does not obstruct or limit the scope of Special Counsel Mueller's probe.

  • Colorado: Tell Senator Gardner to reject Sam Clovis as the USDA's top scientist
    Sam Clovis is blatantly unqualified for the top scientist job at the USDA. He’s a political operative and former talk radio host, not a scientist. Clovis has said climate science is “junk science.” He also has a history of racist rants, including calling progressives “race traders and race traitors." And he’s vocally against fair wages for working people. It has also been revealed that Clovis is vehemently against civil rights protections for the LGBT community. This is someone who shouldn’t be in any sort of leadership position -- let alone running key federal programs to protect our food system. Tell Senator Gardner to reject Clovis to lead the USDA's science program!

  • Tell Rep. Paul Cook (R-CA) to stand with Dreamers in His District and Pass the Dream Act
    If we want to ensure that Dreamers are kept safe from Donald Trump’s Deportation Force, then Congress must pass the Dream Act. Today, there are nearly 800,000 young immigrants who came to the United States as children and currently have no immigration status. They’re often referred to as Dreamers because the Dream Act would give them a pathway to citizenship. In 2012, President Obama used his executive power to protect Dreamers from deportation and allowed them to work and drive legally in the United States. Since then Dreamers have thrived under DACA, by going to school and contributing back to their local communities and economy. However, several officials within the Trump Administration have indicated that they intend on ending the DACA program - killing the dreams of hundreds of thousands of Dreamers who grew up only knowing America as their home and putting them on a path to deportation. Even Trump’s top immigration official even told Hispanic leaders in Congress to prepare for the worst in regards to DACA. The 2017 Dream Act would allow Dreamers to stay in the United States and apply for citizenship. That’s why we’re calling on Congress to pass the Dream Act. Please join with us and sign this petition.
