Simple fairness and transparency is the issue. Since Trump has so clearly placed his own financial interest ahead of the country's well-being, we must make sure that he doesn't manipulate the tax code for his personal advantage.

Empower the Public Defender to speak out and to uphold the rights of everyone. To prevent the Public Defender from being subservient to the Board of Supervisors. To eliminate the "dump truck" reputation of Public Defenders. The DA is elected. Why not the Public Defender? It will put both on an equal level. Jeff Adachi is elected in San Francisco, and it works well.

I'm starting this petition because if the present situation continues there will be irreparable damage to our country and future generations.

Our representative, Luke Messer, refuses to hold public meetings as does Senator Todd Young. In our neighboring Ohio district, Steve Chabot has not held a meeting in over 10 years. This is unconscionable and needs to be addressed and changed.

Reps. Khanna, Massie, Pocan and Jones have introduced a privileged bipartisan resolution - H.Con.Res. 81 [1] - to end unauthorized and unconstitutional U.S. participation in the Saudi war in Yemen, which has created the largest humanitarian crisis in the world, pushing millions to the brink of famine. Without U.S. participation, the Saudi-UAE war in Yemen would not be possible. The Khanna-Massie-Pocan-Jones bill invokes the War Powers Resolution to force a roll call floor vote on ending U.S. participation in the war. “We aim to restore Congress as the constitutionally mandated branch of government that may declare war and retain oversight over it,” Rep. Khanna and Rep. Pocan wrote. “It’s beyond time for the country to stop conducting refueling for missions over Yemen,” Khanna wrote. “Congress and the American people know too little about the role we are playing in a war that is causing suffering for millions of people and is a genuine threat to our national security,” Khanna said. Pocan said it was time for Congress to end the U.S. role in "this senseless, unauthorized conflict."

To enactment legislation that will end gerrymandering, and guarantee independent, fair, nonpartisan redistricting reform, immediately following the 2020 census.

Because Donald Trump is moving our country backwards.

The PA Senate passed a budget that devastates the environment and trades off DEP authority over fracking for a weak severance tax. An alternative has been proposed that calls itself a People's Budget that establishes a severance tax with no strings attached. Neither alternative is acceptable. We have been spared the institutionalization of fracking because we have no severance tax. Instead, we've had an impact fee that has been misappropriated, like the community that used impact fee dollars to bring an American Idol contestant to town for a concert. Seriously. http://www.paauditor.gov/press-releases/auditor-general-depasquale-says-gas-drilling-impact-fee-law-must-be-amended-to-clarify-spending-guidelines-improve-oversight Harrisburg exists in a bubble immune from the more than 900 peer-reviewed studies that make a case for a ban, the science on climate change that could not be clearer at this point, and the impacts that have devastated communities. Governor Tom Wolf has done everything in his power to EXPAND the market for natural gas and ethane when reasonable public officials outside of the bubble are committing to transitioning away from all fossil fuels as quickly as possible. Don't be duped by the People's Budget alternative. A real People's Budget would contain real solutions to fund education and other important programs, not tie them to a boom/bust industry. Please sign the petition, share it, and then call your legislators to tell them to vote NO to any severance tax proposal.

To say the word on the lips of reasonable people: OUT. To stop waiting to see how bad it can get. To oust this president now rather than later. We may not have the luxury of seeing how Donald Trump's actions play out this time.

We need this piece of legislation to be passed.

I am a doctor who understands that Congress is getting a better deal than everybody else, and that has made them not our representatives. They need to personally understand what it means to have difficulty getting the insurance they want to buy.
