Use your Rules posts to allow House votes on ending U.S. aid to the Saudi war in Yemen.

Support the Conyers-Grijalva-Ellison-McGovern NDAA amendment to prohibit the transfer of cluster bombs to Saudi Arabia.

Bernie, please use your bully pulpit to tell AIPAC that Israeli settlements are not Israel & that Israel should stop developing settlements on Palestinian land & should end the blockade of Gaza.

Hillary Clinton should tell AIPAC that Israeli settlements are not Israel & that Israel should stop developing settlements on Palestinian land & should end the blockade of Gaza.

The massive LA gas leak is a ticking time bomb. It continues to poison Los Angeles’ Porter Ranch neighborhood with cancer-causing chemicals and is releasing enormous amounts of carbon into the atmosphere. This is a disaster with national impact, and it is time for the federal leadership to step in and do everything possible to stop the leak.

Maryland legislators and Governor Martin O'Malley should oppose the inclusion of language in the Maryland budget bill that equates organizing against the policies of the Israeli government toward Palestinians with “anti-Semitism.” The inclusion of this language in the budget bill constitutes a sneak attack on free speech and academic freedom in Maryland.

Please join me in screaming at our deaf congress by signing below if you agree it is completlely unfair that at retirement age, the top 1-2-3% wealth holders pay no federal income tax each year on municipal bonds or pay low capital gains on stocks in regular accounts. At the same time - the 50% who could save something for retierment - almost always in a 401K or IRA - have to pay non sheltered normal income tax on the money we take out to pay the bills - even when we followed the rules and played the game as good citizens and hard workers. How is that fair taxation? Where is our representation? Crony capitalism and redistribution of wealth and income by means of the tax code to the top 1-2-3% must finally end. Fair is Fair for all of us. If you agree - sign below to this NON radical idea that simply asks for equity -- or is a defensive motion in the class war the wealthy have started and rage against the rest of us by controlling the congress and the tax law We need representation so our retirement savings are not beat up by income taxes just as we need that money to pay the bills after we stop working at our jobs..

Congress is expected to spend $2-trillion to address the economic shutdown caused by the coronavirus pandemic. This is necessary to help the expected one-third of Americans who will be out of work and the predicted loss of up to one half of our gross domestic product. Presidential candidate Senator Bernie Sanders has issued an emergency response to the coronavirus pandemic that Congress should use as its blueprint for action. Read his plan at: https://berniesanders.com/issues/emergency-response-coronavirus-pandemic/ Bernie’s plan would: - Empower Medicare to lead the health care response. - Keep workers on payroll. - Prevent small and medium sized businesses from going under. - Give $2,000 cash payments to every person in America every month for the duration of the crisis. - Provide unemployment insurance for all at 100 percent of prior salary with a cap of $75,000 a year. - Ensure emergency paid family and medical leave for all. - Guarantee that no one goes hungry by expanding Meals on Wheels, school meals, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and other programs so that everyone can receive nutritious meals, including delivered to people who cannot leave their homes. - Stop evictions, foreclosures, and utility shut-offs, suspend payment on mortgage loans for primary residencies and utility bills, provide rental assistance, and restore utility services to customers who have had their utilities shut off. - Waive all student loan payments for the duration of the emergency. - Provide emergency shelter, including by utilizing empty hotels. - Provide states and localities the financial support they need to address the crisis. - Protect family farmers and save farms by suspending loan payments, extending crop insurance and rural development loans, providing emergency loans, and expanding the Emergency Food Assistance Program. - Fight corporate corruption and price-gouging. Bernie’s is a plan on the scale of the problem that will protect all Americans. It will strengthen our healthcare system and social safety nets so that we can endure this crisis and prepare for the next.

The Deltona Corporation is attempting to change the zoning on a total of over 1300 acres along Rt. 41 from Hernando to Holder to allow a huge Data Center in Citrus County. A Data Center houses thousands of computing components to provide critical IT infrastructure, enabling data storage, processing, and distribution for businesses and online services. They are necessary to support current and future demands for storage and processing of information, and they support global financial systems, cloud services, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. They also come with their own set of problems: demands on water for cooling, increased demands on electricity, air pollution from backup generators, noise from the many servers, which run 24/7, and can travel several miles, interruptions to the environment and animal habitats. St. Lucie and Palm Beach Counties and Fort Meade have halted the development of their data centers. Builders claim DCs bring lots of jobs. Jobs are there during initial construction, but once built, DCs practically run themselves with a staff of between 10 and 100 depending on their size. Builders are attempting to mitigate some of the problems, but don't be fooled, those problems and more still exist. Because of the square footage required to build a center, rural counties with ready water access have become prime locations. They are usually peaceful, rural communities, with lots of vacant land, higher poverty rates, lower income, and fewer people to offer objections.  Do not allow Deltona and our county commissioners to inflict this imposition on the lifestyle of Citrus County. Please sign our petition and tell Deltona and the BOCC, "NO ZONING CHANGES! KEEP NATURE IN THE NATURE COAST!"
