Time to give up on gun control and move to gun liability insurance. Just as we do with cars. Think about it: we have the same number of guns per capita as we do cars--880 per 1000 people. They also kill the same number of people -- 33,000 a year in the U.S.. Pres.Obama said about gun control that "the politics in this town foreclose a lot of those avenues." What we need is a public/private partnership on the issue, as in Obamacare, or as was done by Abraham Lincoln to build the transcontinental railroad, or as we do to manage the dangers of car ownership -- require gun liability insurance. Private, professional insurers can analyze the risk of gun owners, assess an appropriate premium, and pay for damages far better than the government can; the government just has to require it.

Removal of Vallejo City Unified School District Superintendent Dr. Ramona Bishop from her position permanently.

Nevada lawmakers are considering spending $860,000 to build a new execution chamber, even through the state hasn't executed anyone since 2006. A key committee split 5-5 on the vote this week, so voicing our outrage right now could make the difference to stop this unjust, needless, and expensive use of taxpayer dollars. Will you help?

Forests are burning. People are dying. Our planet crumbles yet we continue our corruption on planet earth. Excuses like cost and feasibility are thrown around but there will be no money if we continue like this. It is part of the governors job to ensure life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. Ocean levels rising doesn't ensure life. Liberty cannot be fought for in burning forests. Happiness cannot be found as people die around us. So, as the governors job and our jobs as citizens, we must support the Green New Deal, starting small with Georgia.

We are asking that you not only freeze monthly rent but that during this pandemic we are rent free. The people of New Jersey should not have to worry about getting evicted. When all of this is finally over and the people of NJ overcome this situation we should not owe what could possibly be months of back rent.

Governor Susana Martinez, stop letting large testing corporations write your education policy and stop trying to destroy our public employee unions! The working families of New Mexico will no longer stand for it, so on 10.18.14, the first day of early voting, we are taking New Mexico back!!!

Dear Governor Murphy and Attorney General Grewal, We are a diverse group of crime victims (“survivors”) and organizations that serve crime survivors. We ask you to make major policy changes to support survivors and make our communities safer. Within the Office of the Attorney General, there are two offices serving crime victims: the Office of Victim Witness Advocacy and the Office of Victims Compensation. These offices: -Have historically ignored the needs of communities of color -Have no understanding of community violence victimization -Must be run by a crime survivor who understands trauma and culturally appropriate services -Must have a commitment to supporting the grassroots organizations that actually help crime victims of color -Must ensure that all employees are trauma-informed -Must follow other states’ lead and fund culturally appropriate Trauma Recovery Centers in every city and Hospital-Based Violence Interruption Programs, such as University Hospital's program in Newark. -Must use their abundant funding to fund victim services coordinators in every city, supportive services for victims, and to invest in capacity building for the grassroots organizations that support crime victims in communities of color. Furthermore: -We ask the Attorney General to convene a statewide advisory body of crime victims to inform policies, practices, and funding decisions. -The reforms proposed in Senator Vitale’s bill, S498 must be made immediately. The Office of Victims Compensation operates at a snail’s pace and aggressively uses contributing behavior” language to disqualify victims of color on the grounds that they “contributed” to their victimization. The agency fails to support victims in need of emergency relocation and to take other life-saving and trauma reducing actions. Victims' bodies languish in morgues-- causing families pain--while the agency stalls on funeral expense applications. -All law enforcement agencies must be trained in trauma-informed practices so that they understand the effects of crime victimization. Equal Justice USA and the Newark Police Department’s training, From Trauma to Trust, is a perfect model. Finally, there must be a dramatic reinvestment from policing and incarceration into community-based prevention and intervention. In particular, we reject the status quo for incarceration, which is currently a dehumanizing and abusive experience that creates more hardened criminals. We demand consequences for criminal activity that are restorative and bring healing to the victim and perpetrator alike. Children must never be incarcerated and must always be rehabilitated in therapeutic settings close to their families. Thank you for your attention to our requests!

Stop the corruption in our government. Unite for a greater America.
