• Repeal Health Insurance for Members of Congress
    I don't believe that anyone can be sure how this would play out going forward. Will my Medicare be affected in the future? Both my county and state have set aside millions of dollars in their budgets to cover the cost of repeal of the ACA.

  • Stop Trump from making appointments without Senate approval
    The critical question is: Should anyone regardless of innocence or guilt be able to hinder the process if he or she is on trial? I don't think anyone should be allowed to block the course of due process even if he or she is wrongly accused! However, there is a loophole Trump could use to do just that unless we close it. If you agree that no one should interfer with the justice systems process please sign below! After signing ,please ask one other person to do so. If everyone would ask just one other person we would soon have double the amount and beyound This is time critical. The Senate has vacation in August typically. If we want to ask that they stay in D.C. ( so that Trump can't interfere with the Russia investigation) we Need To Act Now! Thanks If Trump replaces Sessions, the new Attorney General could halt the Russia investigation (MSNBC,2017). Normally, he would need Senate approval, but not if they are on vacation! (Chait, 2017) The foundations of the democracy are threatened by the possibility that anyone could get away with unconstitutionally influencing the outcome of elections. It looks like Trump may fire anyone who acts with integrity in this matter (as he already fired an FBI director) (Kelly and Jonhson, 2017). References: MSNBC.

  • Restore independent travel to Cuba
    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.

  • Pledge to Defeat Health Care Deniers in 2018
    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.

  • I stand with immigrant youth and DACA
    ***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

  • Boy Scouts: Take Away Trump's Honorary Presidency
    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.

  • Current Executive and Congressional Federal Branches Way Out Of Line!
    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.

  • Boy Scouts: Keep politics out of the Jamboree speech
    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.

  • Protect and help organic agriculture flourish!
    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!
