Minorities across the nation are being targeted by extremist terrorists called Neo-Nazis, White Nationalist, White Supremist, KKK, etc. These groups use the symbols from the Confederacy to promote supremacy, hate, and violence towards fellow Americans. These monuments must not be allowed to stand in public view.

A group called The Fund for American Studies is hosting a luncheon on September 28 in Washington, DC. The keynote speaker is The Honorable Neil M. Gorsuch. As we all know, Justice Gorsuch was appointed after the GOP took unprecedented and unpatriotic steps to block President Obama's Supreme Court pick. Now it seems Justice Gorsuch is repaying the favor to President Trump by keynoting an event at Trump's hotel! How are we to trust Justice Gorsuch's professional work when he's running around DC doing something like this? While the White House may lack honor and integrity at this moment, let's not let the Supreme Court justices slip into a clear conflict of interest. Tell Justice Neil Gorsuch to cancel his appearance at President Trump's hotel. Source: https://tfas.org/event/defending-freedom-luncheon/

The Rebel mascot stands as a symbol of Confederate ideology, of inequality, slavery, and institutionalized racism. No school should discriminate or alienate their students based on race, but this is exactly what the Rebel mascot does. The Rebel mascot must be changed in order to send a clear message to all that SAHS stands for diversity and acceptance and does not endorse racist ideology.

I propose that funding be allocated to erect statues in honor of Civil Rights icons and Native American heroes in proximity to Confederate icons, and in the capitol, and all urban centers. The awareness of how this country has prospered because of Slavery and the genocide of Native Americans is paramount. Marginalized peoples need to have the opportunity to honor their heroes and counteract the wave of emboldened aggression by Neo-Nazis and White Supremacists in this country.

This petition is about ending the hate being directed at minority group members of all kinds by neo-Nazis and white supremacists. If even a few White House staffers resign in protest, it will make real news and inspire others to do the same.

If you care about the environment and in what condition you leave the environment for your children and grandchildren in Wisconsin and you care about the financial stability of Wisconsin and how you leave it for your children and grandchildren, sign the petition, call your legislators...your calls and signatures matter!

“I have always heard about how dangerous pesticides can be – but I never thought I would one day have to go to the emergency room because of them too. Friday, May 5th was one of the scariest days ever ... I think people wouldn’t buy these fruits if they knew how harmful the chemicals they use can be. I think it’s unfortunate that workers weren’t told what to do with their soiled clothes. I hope nobody brought their clothes inside or hugged their children or loved ones when they got home wearing their same work clothes.” -- Aylin On May 5th, Aylin was one of 48 cabbage workers who were exposed to chlorpyrifos. The pesticides drifted a half-mile from where they were applied -- more than twice as far as proposed buffer zones for schoolchildren and more than 26 times the limit set by current rules aimed at protecting field workers. Chlorpyrifos, a dangerous neurotoxin, was scheduled to be banned but was still in use because, in March, Trump’s EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt abruptly reversed the scheduled ban. Chlorpyrifos was banned for home use in 2001 because of its clear impact on children’s developing brains. However, it continues to be used in agriculture despite decades of science showing that this chemical can lead to lower IQ, developmental and behavioral disorders, reduced lung function and more. EPA scientists have said there is “no safe level” of this neurotoxicant on food crops. As the largest agricultural producer, what CA does will affect the nation. More than 1 million pounds of chlorpyrifos is used annually in the state. Take action and urge the California Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) to ban this incredibly harmful pesticide.

I am potentially adversely affected as are all citizens of the United States of America if the President does have a personality disorder that may prevent him from carrying out his duties. Congress can direct a physical and mental examination to make that determination.

In rhetoric and in policy, Donald Trump continues to coddle white supremacists. What's more, Trump continues to surround himself with white nationalists, appointing Steve Bannon, Sebastian Gorka, and Stephen Miller to serve alongside him in the White House. It’s just not enough for our Republican colleagues to issue statements against violence in Charlottesville. They must act against the rise of domestic terrorism and white nationalism -- especially when the man in the White House refuses to do so. Sign on to the petition urging Congress to censure Trump for refusing to denounce domestic terrorism and surrounding himself with white supremacists in the White House.

A militia of Nazis armed with automatic weapons and shields marched through the street of Charlottesville chanting hate and threats. A woman was murdered, many wounded intentionally, and two police died as a result of the Nazi march. As senator McCain said, the USA fought a war against Nazis. Nazis marching armed in American streets are traitors and enemies of the USA. The Nazis who marched, their allies who marched with them, and other self identified Nazis who did not march should be identified and prosecuted for all crimes against the USA, including if applicable, treason, and any complicity in the deaths and injuries which arose out of the March.

Wade Hampton III was one of South Carolina's largest slaveholders of his time, a traitor to the USA who served as a lieutenant general for the confederacy, and a staunch supporter of the Red Shirts (a 19th Century paramilitary group that used violence and terrorism as a part of the South Carolina Jim Crow culture of the day). Continuing to honor this post-Civil War white supremacist is racist and cannot be tolerated. Some suggestions for action might be to change the name of Wade Hampton High School to Reverend Joseph Armstrong DeLaine High School and to change the name of Wade Hampton Boulevard to Robert Smalls Boulevard.

As President Trump was being criticized in the United States for blaming violence in Charlottesville on "both sides," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu drew flak for giving no response at all, the Washington Post reports. Even when Trump finally criticized white supremacists for inciting violence, it still took Netanyahu another day to speak up. [1] Jonathan Greenblatt, the head of the Anti Defamation League, was "astonished" when Trump said there were "fine people" among the far-right demonstrators and criticized the "alt-left" for inciting violence. But Netanyahu’s son Yair echoed similar concerns Wednesday to Trump about the left-wing demonstrators, the Post notes: "The thugs of Antifa and BLM who hate my country (and America too in my view) just as much are getting stronger and stronger and becoming super dominant in American universities and public life." Oren Hazan, a Knesset member from Netanyahu's Likud party, also said Trump was right to criticize both sides. [2] Urge Members of Congress to press Netanyahu to condemn Trump's equivocation on white supremacist violence by signing our petition.
