A recently leaked video reveals that the head of a right-wing dark money group bragged to a roomful of donors about crafting the outrageous new laws in states like Georgia and Florida that are designed to silence eligible voters. Congress has a duty to put a stop to this blatant and shameful voter suppression. We call on our representatives to pass the For the People Act and the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Act -- which will protect voters from these partisan tactics and limit dark money’s hold on our democracy.

Donald Trump is not above the law, and must follow this gag order. If he doesn't, he should be held accountable – like any other citizen would be.

President Barack Obama, The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., NW Washington, D.C. 20500 September 5, 2011 Dear President Obama, We are writing to you today to demand the full exoneration of Lakota elder and spiritual leader Douglas W. White, who died in prison after 17 years of wrongful incarceration. In 1991, Douglas White was accused of sexually abusing his two grandchildren. A BIA investigator interviewed the boys and a medical doctor examined the boys but found no physical evidence of abuse. In fact, one of the boys denied the charges to the doctor. Although the U.S. Attorney’s office has jurisdiction on federal offenses committed on reservations, the U.S. Attorney declined to prosecute the case. There was no FBI investigation. A hearing was held in tribal court, but the boys denied the charges and the case was dismissed for “insufficient evidence.” Over a year later, with no further investigation or new evidence, Mr. White was indicted for the same crime by the federal government. At trial, the jury was never informed about the tribal hearing, the denial of the charges in tribal court, or the case’s dismissal. Despite contradictory testimony from the two grandchildren, and no physical evidence, Mr. White was convicted and sentenced to 25 years in federal prison. In 2007, after fourteen years of silence, Roy Helper Jr., the government’s main witness against Mr. White, confessed that he had never been sexually abused by his grandfather. He signed an affidavit, submitted to psychological evaluations and a polygraph examination which conclusively established that he was now telling the truth. Several members of the original federal jury subsequently recanted their guilty verdicts. A petition was filed with the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals, which was approved. U.S. Magistrate Judge Veronica Duffy then recommended an immediate hearing. The U.S. Attorney of South Dakota objected to these rulings, arguing that Mr. White knew about Roy Jr.’s confession five years before it actually occurred. Despite being provided with evidence that these claims were false, U.S. District Court Judge Richard H. Battey rejected Duffy’s recommendation and denied White a new hearing. The case was then appealed back to the Eighth Circuit Court. On November 24, 2009, Douglas White died in prison. His case was then declared to be moot. He remains a convicted felon. Douglas White spent his entire life serving people. He established a legacy of selfless service that is still remembered and honored on Pine Ridge reservation, but his family lives with the dishonor of his wrongful conviction. This is simply unacceptable. Accordingly, We the People of the United States, and the International Community, demand the following: (1) A full Apology to the family of Douglas White and the Lakota Nation for the wrongful incarceration and death of Douglas White. (2) A full Exoneration (not a Pardon) of Douglas White in light of the evidence of Mr. White’s “actual innocence.” (3) Full monetary Reparation to the family of Douglas White (and/or the Douglas White Defense Fund, a non-profit 501c (3) organization created to aid individuals on the South Dakota Indian reservations in need of legal assistance), for seventeen years of wrongful incarceration in the amount of $800,000. (4) A full Investigation of the original prosecutorial decision to indict Mr. White in August, 1992. This Investigation should examine the systemic failure evident in this case by identifying the specific roles (and failures) of the following agents: • Lyle Brings Him Back (deceased), BIA Criminal Investigator • Sheryl Martinez, OST Social Worker • Charles Ruffing, Loneman School Counselor • Original FBI Agent assigned to the Douglas White Case • Kevin Schieffer, U.S. Attorney, South Dakota 1991-1993 • Diana Ryan, Assistant U.S. Attorney, 1992-1993 • Daniel Ashmore, Court-Appointed Defense (Trial) Attorney • Judge Andrew Bogue (Trial) (deceased) • Federal Jury Members • Judge Richard H. Battey (Sentencing & Appeal) • Al Arendt, (Court-Appointed Appeal Defense Attorney) • Eighth Circuit Court Judges (Original Appeal) • Marty Jackley, U. S. Attorney, South Dakota (2007-2008) • Robert Gusinsky, Assistant U. S. Attorney, South Dakota (2007-2009) • Brendan Johnson, U. S. Attorney, South Dakota (2009) • Pardon Attorney, Department of Justice (2007-2009) • Wardens of Waseca and Rochester, MN (Compassionate Release requests) • Eric Holder, Attorney General • President Barack Obama Douglas White deserves a full exoneration, even if it is only a posthumous one. His family, legacy, and people, deserve this much.

A simple majority of senators is all it takes to establish a secret ballot in the upcoming second impeachment trial of Donald Trump for "incitement of insurrection". Democrats now have that majority. They should demand this as part of the trial procedure. Senators function as a jury in an impeachment trial, and in most trials a juror's individual vote is secret. This allows for a more deliberative process free from outside pressure.

President Obama: Please do not appoint Larry Summers as the Chair of the Federal Reserve. As the architect of Wall Street deregulation, someone who holds the sexist belief that women don't learn math and science as well as men, and someone who Administration insiders say has the "courage to say 'YES' to Wall Street", Summers is the wrong choice for this position.

Despite having a well-developed system of environmental laws that have provided important protections to our water, air, and communities while at the same time improving public health, supporting good jobs and solid economic values, New Jersey communities across our state continue to be unfairly harmed by environmental degradation. Given that we all depend upon clean water, clean air & a healthy environment to support and sustain our healthy lives and our healthy economy, it is right and appropriate that they should be protected with the same legal strength that we protect the other political, civil, property and human rights we hold dear. And so, we, the undersigned support the passage of SCR134/ACR85 which will Amend Article I of the New Jersey State Constitution by adding a new paragraph 24 to read as follows: (a) Every person has a right to a clean and healthy environment, including pure water, clean air, and ecologically healthy habitats, and to the preservation of the natural, scenic, historic, and aesthetic qualities of the environment. The State shall not infringe upon these rights, by action or inaction. (b) The State’s public natural resources, among them its waters, air, flora, fauna, climate, and public lands, are the common property of all the people, including both present and future generations. The State shall serve as trustee of these resources, and shall conserve and maintain them for the benefit of all people. (c) This paragraph and the rights stated herein are (1) self-executing, and (2) shall be in addition to any rights conferred by the public trust doctrine or common law. Sincerely,

IT IS PROPOSED THAT: The Santa Cruz City Council shall direct senior administrative staff to identify places within the City of Santa Cruz where homeless people can legally sleep between the hours of 7:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. Potential sites might include public buildings, parking lots, or appropriate acreage among more than 117 acres of land in Santa Cruz parks. Representatives of the Santa Cruz homeless community shall participate with housing activists and the Santa Cruz City Council (or its representatives) in a group called the Organizing Committee (OC) to develop the Homeless Depot Shelter Program, ensuring the shelter meets the requirements and achieves the milestones specified below.

IT IS PROPOSED THAT social workers will be on site and available on a regular schedule who must be qualified and able to (a) assist shelter participants in improving their economic, health, or housing situations and (b) interview and evaluate shelter participants interested in permanent supportive housing. IT IS FURTHER PROPOSED THAT security personnel be on site 24 hours per day, seven days per week, including representatives elected by the Homeless Depot Shelter community. A more detailed description of the Proposal is available by contacting Rabbi Phil Posner at [email protected].
