In June President Trump announced his intention to limit the freedom of Americans by terminating our right to travel independently to Cuba for a self-designed people to people program. In effect he distrusted not only the integrity of individual travel goals but also the ability of average Americans to share their faith in freedom through personal contact and practice. US airlines and AirBnB will see a dramatic decline in business from individuals, families and friends who cannot afford or are uncomfortable in group tours. Cuban entrepreneurs face a major set-back from the loss of American customers. They include private bed and breakfasts, restaurants, drivers and guides as well as supporting sectors in design, construction, furnishings and supplies. Until new regulations are announced by the Office of Foreign Assets Control, Americans have the right to travel independently. The President can still avoid the presumably unintended costs. The Trump Administration also has the unique historic potential to restore full freedom of travel to all Americans. A bipartisan majority of 55 Senators already cosponsor legislation to end discriminatory restrictions on visits to Cuba. With the President's support, a similar majority could be found in the House of Representatives from business, agriculture and libertarian Republicans in coalition with pro-engagement Democrats.

I pledge to work actively against the reelection of any legislator who votes to weaken health care in America. I will give money to opponents, or work on their election committee, or canvass for them, or phone bank for them, or send them donations, or hold fundraisers for them, or do whatever is in my power to make sure healthcare deniers are not reelected.

***BREAKING: News reports say Trump may end DACA today. We will be delivering your signatures to Washington this week. Please sign and spread the word!*** More than 800,000 immigrant are protected by DACA—a vitally important program that, for the past five years, has given immigrants who came to this country as children a way to go to school, work, and support their families without constant fear of deportation. But despite the success of this program, right-wing extremists at nearly every level of government are trying to dismantle this program, putting the legal status of 800,000 immigrant youth in jeopardy. The attacks against immigrants and DACA are growing more and more intense and dangerous. Last month, attorneys general from ten states and the governor of Idaho sent a letter to the Trump administration calling on Homeland Security to phase out DACA completely. In their unseemly ultimatum to the federal government, they threaten to bring a lawsuit to challenge DACA by September 5. At the same time, immigration arrests have increased 38% in Trump’s first six months in office, with more than half a million people in detention centers awaiting immigration hearings. These arrests and deportations rip families and communities apart, and anti-immigrant rhetoric is only being more normalized. As a DACA recipient myself, I know how important this program is to our community and our families. I believe in our power when we stand together. A handful of cynical Republicans want to trade our dignity and respect for cheap political points, but I am hopeful that our community and our allies will stand with us. In the coming months, we’ll need everyone to stand together to support a country that includes us all. Will you stand with immigrant youth and defend DACA

I served six years as a Marine, but the first uniform I put on was as a member of Boy Scouts of America. In the Boy Scouts, I lived by the Boy Scout Law, learning their code of values. At the Boy Scouts National Jamboree on Monday, Donald Trump showed he shares none of these values, and disrespected tens of thousands of young Scouts and their families by turning a nonpartisan event into a bizarre, offensive campaign rally, leading chants booing his political enemies, praising himself, and bragging about his election. It has long been a tradition for the President of the United States to serve as honorary president of Boy Scouts of America, but it is clear that Donald Trump cannot serve as a role model for Boy Scouts and other young people, and is against the values Scouts live by and the oath Boy Scouts like me swear. Therefore, we demand that Boy Scouts of America take away Donald Trump’s honorary title of president of the organization.

I receive my insurance coverage through Obamacare and we lost a deeply loved son to the opioid epidemic.

Because this country is already an oligarchy and with Trump, Ryan, and McConnell, on its way to becoming a fascist regime. I am not kidding nor being flippant when I say this.

During his address to the 2017 National Scouting Jamboree, Donald Trump delivered a highly politicized and divisive speech that is against the patriotic spirit of the Boy Scouts of America. I am a proud Eagle Scout who was an active Scout for twelve years, from Tiger Scouting through Cub Scouting and into Boy Scouting. As someone with different political values than the current president, I found his remarks at the Jamboree to be alienating and the use of the Boy Scouts as a prop by him to be dispiriting.

We shouldn't be paying for these exorbitant costs when people are without health care, food or other necessities.

Sonny Perdue is now the Secretary of Agriculture. That means the future of organic farming is in his hands. He has a long history of working with Big Ag and has deep ties to industry insiders. We need you to make sure he hears from the American people, not just his Big Ag friends. He needs to know his job is to protect and support organic farming. Tell Sonny Perdue: Protect organic food and farming!

Donald Trump is about to propose massive cuts to our renewable energy programs. He's aiming to slash vital programs promoting renewable power and energy efficiency by more than 70%. But Congress still has to sign off on these cuts -- so we need your help to stop them! Tell your Senators: Don't gut our renewable energy programs!

Republican leaders and Donald Trump are voting today, Tuesday, July 25th to push millions off health care, destroy Medicaid, and make us pay more for care. Let’s kill this bill before it kills us.

Donald Trump signed an Executive Order threatening the Marianas Trench Marine National Monument with fossil fuel development. The Department of the Interior is accepting public comments on whether to let Big Oil destroy this precious marine Monument. So we need you to speak up and help save this special place! Tell the Secretary of the Interior: NO fossil fuel development in Marianas Trench!
