To restore the historic rights of the Town of Chatham and Commonwealth of Massachusetts to sustainably manage the submerged lands, open waters, and fishery resources contained therein for the public benefit.

Ohio should not be left behind the world, we should stand with the world. The Great Lakes are the largest source of fresh water this side of the world. We need to protect our own water, our own air, and this can best be done by joining with the world.

The future liveability of the planet is in great danger due to increased fossil fuel use since the industrial ervolution and the impact on global warming gases in the atmosphere. I worry about all future generations, including my own children, and all other species as well.

On June 15, the UN Security Council unanimously called for a cease-fire in the conflict between the Saudi-UAE coalition and the Houthi-Saleh forces in Yemen. "The U.N. Security Council urged the warring parties in Yemen on Thursday to immediately agree on a cease-fire and keep all ports open for humanitarian aid to confront the threat of famine and the rapid spread of cholera," AP reported. [1] On June 13, the U.S. Senate narrowly failed to block an arms deal with Saudi Arabia. Senators opposed to the deal stressed the need to end the humanitarian crisis in Yemen rather than escalate it. [2] "The Saudi-led war in Yemen has created a humanitarian disaster," Senator Bernie Sanders said. "Millions are at the risk of starvation...chaos in Yemen has also been strategically disastrous for the United States, providing fertile ground for the extremist groups like Al Qaeda and ISIS...it is long past time that we begin to take a very hard look at our relationship with Saudi Arabia...it is important that we begin to discuss...the decades long effort by Saudi Arabia to export an ultra-reactionary form of Islam throughout the world." [3] "The human rights and humanitarian concerns have been well documented and are important,” Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said. “Of equal concern to me is that the Saudi government continues to aid and abet terrorism via its relationship with Wahhabism and the funding of schools that spread extremist propaganda throughout the world." [4] But the Trump Administration plans to escalate U.S. participation in the Saudi bombing of Yemen, with U.S. military advisers in the Saudi air operations control center in Riyadh. [5] U.S. participation in the Saudi war in Yemen has never been authorized by Congress. [6] House Members can challenge U.S. participation in the war with amendments on the National Defense Authorization Act and the Department of Defense Appropriation. In addition, a single House Member can invoke Congressional war powers force to a debate and vote on withdrawing U.S. participation from the Saudi war in Yemen - which the UN Security Council has unanimously said should stop immediately to save Yemen from cholera and famine. The last time the House voted on any aspect of U.S. participation in the Saudi war was June 2016, when the House narrowly failed to prohibit the transfer of cluster bombs to Saudi Arabia.

We were inspired by a school activity to learn more about controversial problems around the world, and we stumbled upon a heartbreaking problem going around. Sea animals are going extinct because of us and what were are doing to their habitat. One of the most rare dolphins (freshwater), the Baiji (Yangtze River Dolphin), is extinct because of us.

Four years ago, my organization, Berks Gas Truth, led a statewide campaign to pressure the members of the Pennsylvania Democratic Party's state committee to vote in favor of a moratorium on fracking written by Susan Lyons of the Monroe County delegation. The resolution passed 115 - 81, but party leaders were critical of the vote and ignored the resolution. Four years later, we know much more than we knew then. I wrote about it for Huffington Post. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/a-look-back-at-the-4-years-since-the-pa-dems-voted_us_59431ccce4b0d188d027fd14 We've also seen Tom Wolf do everything he can to expand the marked for fossil fuels in this state. I wrote about that for Huffington Post, too. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/you-are-not-credible-on-climate-change-governor-wolf_us_5930684be4b09e7836228fa0 We don't need a moratorium to give us time to figure out how bad fracking is. We know exactly how bad fracking is. Please join me in calling for Governor Wolf to ban fracking now!

This election result was due to interference by the Russians. Trump's corruption is rampant as well as his cabinet. Damage has been done by him and his "laws." He is a dictator, and his cabinet are made up of inept, dangerous people who will destroy the country. We need to demand a new election now!

The Northern Nevada Coalition, a group of grassroots organizations led by Indivisible Northern Nevada, Organizing for Action - Nevada, and ATN - Action Together Nevada feel strongly that Heller needs to put the health care needs of his constituents above party and corporate interests.

Removing the fear of federal prosecution for medical cannabis patients is crucial, particularly since our new Attorney General, Jeff Sessions, has made his negative views of medical cannabis clear. Patients need the Senate to pass the CARERS Act so that they have access to the medicine they need.

Donald Trump has declared war on people with disabilities in America! Trump wants to take away health care for people with disabilities! Trump has appointed ablest people to his cabinet like Jeff Sessions and Betsy DeVos! Trump wants to cut social security (both SSDI and SSI) by 72 billion dollars! Trump wants to cut public housing, food stamps, and other human services for disabilities by billions of dollars! Trump wants to take away education support for disabled children. Trumps wants to weaken the Americans with Disabilities Rights Act. Trump is an ablest and prejudice against people with disabilities. Don’t forget Trump made fun of that disabled reporter. Trump is creating a holocaust for people with disabilities, but we will not stand for it. Tell Trump and the GOP that we will not stand for this for one second and to stop declaring war on people with disabilities!

On June 16, President Trump is expected to announce a rollback of some policies adopted by President Obama to increase U.S. engagement with Cuba. However, even some of Trump's advisers who want to escalate confrontation with Cuba say they are worried that Trump might change his mind at the last minute. [1] Polls show the majority of Americans support greater engagement with Cuba. A Florida International University poll showed that the majority of Cuban Americans in Miami also favor greater engagement with Cuba. [2] Urge President Trump and Congress to oppose any new restrictions on the right of Americans to travel to Cuba by signing our petition.
