Changing the US Congress

Greetings, Bullying is a problem that affects millions of students of all races and classes. 1 out of 4 kids is bullied and 42% of kids have been bullied while online. Child and teen Bullying and Cyberbullying are at an all-time high. Some kids are so tormented that suicide has become an alternative for them. It has everyone worried. Not just the kids on its receiving end, but the parents and others who may not understand how extreme bullying can get. Bullying and Cyberbullying continue to harm kids physically, emotionally and the worst -- it continues to take lives. Just ask the family and friends of Jamie Rodemeyer, Kameron Jacobsen, Amanda Diane Cummings, Alexis Pilkington (New York),Tyler Clementi (New Jersey), Asher Brown (Texas), Scott Walz (Illinois), Christian Taylor (Virginia), Suade Cooley, Phoebe Prince, and Carl Joseph Walker-Hoover (Massachusetts), Matt Epling and Alex Harrison (Michigan), Jesse Logan (Ohio), Justin Aaberg (Minnesota), Celina Okwuone and Hope Witsell (Florida), Megan Meier (Missouri), Ryan Halligan (Vermont) and ALL of the others who took their lives because they were tormented on a daily basis. They might be here today if their schools had listened – if their schools took action and a stand against all forms of bullying -- including cyberbullying. They might be here today if the country had standardized legislation mandating schools to not only enforce a "No Tolerance" policy against bullying and cyberbullying -- but get involved and help the students -- rather than sweeping it under the rug. New Jersey and Massachusetts passed landmark legislation which requires schools to institute anti-bullying curriculum, investigate acts of bullying and report the most serious cases to law enforcement officers. New Jersey passed the toughest anti-bullying legislation in the country. Yet, all the legislation in the world won't matter if our schools ignore this epidemic, as the majority of America's schools are sweeping this issue under the rug. They take no responsibility in keeping our children safe. We ask you to pass strict, unified and national legislation throughout the country mandating that our schools help and protect our children, and enforce 'no tolerance' policies and anti-bullying legislation (including cyberbullying) so that our children can be safe in school and online. We ask that every school across the country have at least one trained person in bullying prevention who a student can go to at any time if they are being harassed or feel they are in danger and get immediate assistance. The cost of bullying and cyberbullying to our society is great and so are its effects. If we don't STOMP Out all forms of bullying now, we will lose more children to suicide, create a society of kids with post traumatic syndrome, and kids so full of hatred and violence that they grow up to be workplace bullies, and worse -- with even a greater cost to business and society. Please help to STOMP Out Bullying and Cyberbullying! Sincerely,

Gov. Bullock: Enlist Montana in the U.S. Climate Alliance and do everything possible to fight climate change.

Dear Representative, I urge you to support amendment #30 to HR.6147, the Interior, Environment and Related Agencies Appropriations bill. The amendment, introduced by Representatives Connolly and Beyer, would block funding to finalize any rulemaking initiated under former EPA Administrator Pruitt until after the Office of the Inspector General concludes its probes into his conduct. Over a dozen rulemakings initiated under Pruitt are ongoing, including efforts to weaken fuel efficiency standards, protections for the Waters of the United States, and President Obama’s landmark Clean Power Plan. These are all major policy shifts that would benefit the very industries that Pruitt is accused of having improper relationships with. To ensure that the EPA is truly listening to the American people I implore you to vote for this amendment to suspend these rulemakings while the remaining investigations continue. Sincerely,

Acting in their "official capacities" within the directorate of the Russian military, twelve Russians took part in a "sustained effort" to hack emails and computer networks of the Clinton campaign, Democratic National Committee and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. The latest indictments were announced on July 13. Trump is supposed to meet with Putin on July 16. We must act urgently to tell Trump and the White House to postpone Trump's meeting with Putin—which is exactly the wrong signal for accountability. Before Trump sits down with Putin, we need Trump to acknowledge Russian wrongdoing – and to demand Russia quit meddling in our democracy.

We call on you to formally inquire into the egregious conduct of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) toward Yoel Alonso Leal and other asylum seekers and call agency leadership to testify before the Committee in a hearing. In its treatment of Yoel, ICE violated federal laws, congressional norms, and the agency's own policies. We urge you to exercise your oversight powers to get to the bottom of how atrocities like Yoel's detention and deportation happened, and to hold this rogue agency's leaders accountable.

Please sign this petition to remind Governor Walker and Wisconsin legislators that transparency in government protects us all. "Amend. Don't Defend the JFC budget proposal to destroy our Open Records Law."
