There is literally no reason whatsoever to have a town in Arkansas named after the founder of the KKK. None. The "heritage, not hate" crowd can take their bigotry somewhere else.

If criminals connected to the Trump campaign or administration are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law for conspiracy against the United States or any other crime--but then allowed to be pardoned by Donald Trump--the political system in our country will face a constitutional crisis.

Continuing to participate in President Trump's Manufacturing Council, particularly after the CEO of Merck resigned in good conscience only to be attacked by President Trump, is at this point an endorsement of the president's behavior. Many of these firms have released statements, but the people need action, not words. Until then we should boycott all products from General Electric, Dow Chemical, Whirlpool, Campbell Soup, International Paper, Nucor and Dell.

Because we've already fought one war against the Confederates and another against the Nazis. These two opponents are unified in their racial hatred and so it is apparent that we must destroy these ideas before we are forced to fight a 3rd.

Racial profiling and ignoring a Federal mandate is a scourge upon this great nation.

A prominent web hosting provider just revealed that President Trump’s Department of Justice demanded the personal data of potential anti-Trump protesters. The Justice Department requested the IP addresses of anyone who visited websites promoting inauguration protests -- 1.3 million addresses in total. This move is an egregious breach of privacy and free speech. The information the Trump administration is requesting shouldn’t be in the hands of the DOJ. We need to immediately speak out against this action.

The US ranks last on the list for paid leave. In this country, and especially in the great State of Oregon, short term disability is the right thing to do as a first step towards valuing our citizens and join four other states in providing this safety net. Not only pregnant women will benefit, but those in drug and alcohol rehabilitation and disabled people awaiting their government claims. The State of California requires all employees to pay into its short-term disability insurance (SDI) program through payroll deductions. When employees become unable to work due to disability, they can collect weekly benefits from the program until they are either ready to go back to work or the benefits expire. We can do the same in Oregon! Why? I was demoted during my pregnancy after my employer removed their short term disability option. Then, they went after my unemployment. No pregnant woman should have to go through that again. You can help make sure of it! Only 50 signatures are required to gain legal assistance drafting a prospective initiative text for the 2018 ballot. By signing you are requesting this make it to your voting booths. We request assistance drafting the text of this proposed initiative!

We are all affected by living in a land governed by a President who does not say he does not want the votes of hate groups.

Only 9% of Plastic in the United States is recycled. 8 Million metric tons of plastic end up in the oceans every year, poisoning marine life and humans who eat seafood. It is time the government steps up and bans the production of single-use plastic (including bags, take-out cups, plastic straws, etc)! These single-use products are extremely durable and contain innumerable toxic chemicals which leach into the ocean.

The racist, xenophobic, sexist, homophobic, anti-Semitic invasion of Charlottesville demands a greater response than our tears.

There is no place for terrorism in this world whether international or domestic. It is time to stand up and condemn the hatred, bigotry, and violence that these groups have been displaying for decades. This homegrown terrorism must be stopped in the United States of America.

President Trump's words were too little, too late. He vowed to unite the country but continues to employ divisive people to advise him and speak for him. This action will put meaning behind his words denouncing hate and will go a long way in making amends to the majority of Americans while making alt-right, neo-Nazis and white supremacists realize their views are not welcome in our America.
