Revoke restrictions on foreign students remaining in the U.S. while taking online courses at U.S. universities and colleges during COVID-19, announced by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on July 6, 2020.

Trump is escalating a dangerous campaign of political retaliation, weaponizing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to unlawfully target members of our community and dissenters. Lawful permanent residents, including parents, scientists, students and professors, are being harassed, detained, and deported in complete disregard for our rights and freedoms.  Sign the petition to demand an immediate end to Trump’s politically-motivated detentions and deportations—and to protect the rights of all people to speak out, organize and have due process.

Senate candidate Bruce Braley: Challenge Republican Joni Ernst to join you in signing the People's Pledge, the popular agreement negotiated by Elizabeth Warren and Scott Brown in their 2012 Senate race to reject advertisements from outside donors on their behalf. If Ernst is truly committed to the people of Iowa, she'll join you. If she doesn't, voters will see that she's actually committed to the Koch brothers and their network of out-of-state billionaire extreme right-wing conservatives.

Support for the 24-Unit TND Project at 43rd and Mission Road – Economic Benefits Without Taxpayer Burden. Dear Wyandotte County Commissioners and fellow community members: I am writing to express my strong support for the 24-unit Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND) project at **43rd and Mission Road**, a site that has remained vacant for over two decades. This project offers significant economic and community benefits while aligning with the county’s strategic goals for growth and revitalization. Please see a link to our community presentation by clicking here. • No Taxpayer Burden – Funded Through LIHTC • One of the key advantages of this project is that it will be financed using Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC), meaning there will be no financial burden on local taxpayers. The LIHTC program allows private investment in affordable housing developments without the need for public funding, making it a fiscally responsible solution to address the county's housing shortage. No Industrial Revenue Bonds  that might short-change the county and city tax rolls. • Immediate and increased Property Tax Revenue • The revitalization of 43rd and Mission Road site will generate immediate and increased property tax revenue. For over 30 years, this property has contributed little to the county's tax base, but the new development will bring significant value, benefiting both the local government and public services. This increase in property taxes will further contribute to the county's ability to fund essential services and improvements.  • Boost in BPU Revenue • As new residents move into the development, there will be a corresponding increase in **utility usage**—particularly for water and electricity—resulting in additional revenue for the **Board of Public Utilities (BPU)**. This project not only provides housing but also contributes to the financial health of local utilities. • Revitalizing Long-Neglected Property • The corner of 43rd and Mission Road has remained an underutilized asset for far too long. By transforming this vacant lot into much-needed affordable housing, the project will breathe new life into the area, supporting the county’s broader vision of urban revitalization while efficiently utilizing existing infrastructure. The staff recommended TND zoning will allow for efficient use of the land and promote sustainability and walkability in the neighborhood. The project could also draw attentional attention to the cross-town light rail plan for the 43rd Street corridor.  This project provides a unique opportunity to address Wyandotte County’s pressing need for affordable housing, increase property tax revenue, and boost utility revenues—all without placing any additional burden on taxpayers. I respectfully urge the Commission to approve and support this transformative development. Thank you for your time and thoughtful consideration. Sincerely, Eliot Arnold Beachwood Holdings, LLC

Health care is a human right. That’s why I’m signing this People’s Brief to call on the opponents of the health care law to put the health of millions of Americans ahead of selfish political attacks on the Affordable Care Act.

Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, who has already given more than $75 MILLION to elect Trump, is offering $1 MILLION a DAY through Election Day to registered voters in key battleground states like Pennsylvania, Georgia, Nevada, Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, and North Carolina in efforts of boosting voter registration in favor of Trump. We won’t mince words: This is illegal, a federal crime, and a violation of election laws. Will you sign the petition to demand that Elon Musk be swiftly investigated for attempting to use his massive wealth to bribe voters NOW?

Reject the Dakota Access Pipeline pipeline and declare this land a cultural district, eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, to ensure its protection.

In small towns and rural communities, we take care of ALL our kids. That’s why 4-H programs must be open and affirming to all vulnerable populations, including LGBTQ youth. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue must reinstate 4-H’s guidances welcoming LGBTQ children.

The news media's obsession with Donald Trump is totally out of control, wildly lopsided, rewards Trump's bigoted bullying and hurts us all by shutting out conversation of other issues and candidates. Enough is a enough. The news media needs to stop obsessing over Donald Trump.

The US government just made the decision to freeze millions of dollars to support support refugees and the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) I want my tax dollars to support this work to provide critical education, healthcare, social services, and emergency protection to refugees in need.
