Too many donkeys have been killed for the sake of ancient medicine, and the slaughter must stop today. Donkeys around the world being stolen, skinned, and sent to China for a few thousand yuan. This black market trade fuels the ejiao industry, which your country has done little to condemn. The 3 percent tariff reduction on donkey skins has only served to increase the number of donkeys condemned to death. More than 8 percent of the world's donkeys have been killed since 2016, while China's donkey population is dwindling even faster. If nothing is done to curb the needless slaughter of these animals, we will Inevitably lose the species to extinction. The ejiao industry is the source of an untold amount of suffering and destruction. Especially in an age when modern medical research can easily produce analogous remedies that work better than gelatinized donkey skins, there is no need to subsidize such cruelty with tax breaks. I demand you enact stronger considerations for animal welfare in your country today, ban the import of donkey skins, and save this species for the future of the planet.

It's wrong to let political ads mislead voters about who paid for them. Knowing the true identity of the messenger is critical to evaluating the credibility of the message. As your constituent, I'm asking you to right this wrong. Please vote Yes on AB 700, the California DISCLOSE Act, to require the three largest funders of ballot measure ads or ads about candidates by outside groups to be shown clearly and unambiguously – on the ad itself. Thank you. Your vote will impact the integrity of our elections.

A long-time booster of Donald Trump, Carl Paladino made blatantly racist statements about President Barack and First Lady Michelle Obama this week. He tried to pass it off as a joke by we see it clearly as hate speech that will alienate people throughout the world. Paladino publicly wished for the death of President Obama and the deportation of Michelle Obama to Africa. He said several other unspeakable things about the Obama's that are not repeated in this text. Enough is enough! Donald Trump, you claimed that you will be the President for all Americans. Your credibility as President is now on the line. It’s time to cut all ties to Carl Paladino now!

Going from 8,000 barrels to 16,000 barrels, doubling the amount of wastewater that can be injected in wells has proven to be a mistake. What are you going to do about it Kansas Corporation Commission? Governor Brownback?

We are asking our representatives to write a new forest plan. They are required to write a new plan every 10 to 15 years and the old one is 16 years old. Their management practices are outdated.

One of the most obstructive things in Congress today is not voting on all legislation. Dennis Hastert in the Republican Party decided to water down our democracy. This rule was created by Hastert, an American pedophile, the longest serving speaker of the House of Representatives. When he was sentenced to prison, there was nothing mentioned in the Republican chamber that they should change anything honoring Hastert. So that all American know the obstruction in our government was created by a sex criminal embraced by the Republican Party, we are calling to rename Hastert's "majority of the majority" rule rule to the pedophile rule.

That Congress is held to the same standards as every other citizen.

Environmental Racism is defined as "any policy, practice, or directive that negatively affects (whether intended or unintended) individuals, groups, or communities based on race or color. Environmental racism is a form of environmental injustice" (Professor Robert D. Bullard). Congress needs to make efforts to prevent industry from taking advantage of communities of Color. Here are the proposed efforts to be made by Congress. 1. The EPA should conduct research to determine the safest distance for residency in proximity to industrial sites, waste management sites, and factories and create laws prohibiting a breach of this safe distance. 2. Soils, vegetation, air, and water surrounding industrial sites, waste management sites, and factories should be tested frequently for any harmful chemicals attributed to runoff with submitted reports of their findings to determine if the runoff is dangerous. If so, the producing sites of the runoff would need to be monitored and responsible for remedying a fix to stop the polluting runoff. 3. All persons affected by environmental disaster should receive equal aid by the government; aid referring to any monetary aid, shelter, medical services, and any services offered for relief.

Stop hypothesizing about what effect an impeachment would have on the upcoming elections. It does not matter if the Senate decides to do nothing, as elected representatives you MUST go on the record NOW to declare whether or not Trump is mentally fit for office. Period.
