Dear Governor McCrory: You promised to "rebrand" North Carolina and make it "customer-friendly," but the crazy legislation in Raleigh is turning North Carolina into the "State of Madness" in the eyes of the nation! Is this your idea of customer-friendly: Make voting harder, shift taxes to the poor and middle classes, and cut unemployment benefits and access to health care? I'm holding you responsible. Stand up for the best of North Carolina's progressive traditions. Veto legislation that restricts voting, and fight the other crazy bills.

Governor Martinez and New Mexico Game Commission, We, the undersigned, respectfully and urgently request that you: 1. Reverse the New Mexico Game Commission’s 5/7/2015 decision not to renew a permit for the Ladder Ranch to assist with recovery of state- and federally-protected Mexican gray wolves through providing secure holding pens for wolves en route to or from the wild; 2. Ensure the Game Commission rescind its rule promulgated on 11/13/14 which requires, for the first time, Commission approval for permits allowing private facilities to assist in recovery and reintroduction programs for mammalian carnivores; 3. Request of the Game Commission and NM Department of Game and Fish that they act as good faith partners in the reintroduction of these endangered wolves, including by granting U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service permits to release wolves in New Mexico, and cease misguided efforts to undermine the Mexican gray wolf program; and 4. Put an end to state persecution of large carnivores, including proposals to allow cruel trapping of cougars and to expand bear hunting in New Mexico.

The news media has run wild and been permitted to lie to the public too long. Create a law to prohibit intentional falsification and distortion of the news!

Tell YouTube to help stop the spread of harmful, sexist and racist disinformation by dropping all Fox News programming, including Fox News' cash cow, Tucker Carlson!

Attorney General Eric Schneiderman: Under New York Article 78 and related federal statutes, a brand new NY Primary should be ordered by a federal judge at your request. Only this would correct the egregious violations, disenfranchisements, voting machine failures, and other 'irregularities" in the 2016 NY primary. This must be done very soon. The Sanders campaign and other plaintiffs could join your effort, but this must begin with your office.

Support the Accountability & Campaign Transparency (ACT) Plan, which would require more disclosure and reduce the influence of special interests in California politics.

Listen to the continued complaints of teachers and families! Urge the US Department of Education and the New York State Department of Education to change the New York State Alternate Assessment for Students with Severe Disabilities (NYSAA), which is an inappropriate and discriminatory assessment of our students' progress, and a distraction from meaningful, functional education for these students.

Whereas the New Jersey Amistad Commission has already addressed the critical need of adding the national and world history of African Americans to the New Jersey social studies curriculum and, Whereas, the early history of African American people in New Jersey has evolved over a distinct and documented trajectory of struggle for the expansion of human and citizenship rights in the Garden State – especially in the nineteenth century and, Whereas, the history of the great civil rights struggle by free African Americans in New Jersey African Americans in New Jersey in the nineteenth century is virtually absent from New Jersey social studies curriculums and, Whereas, such omission of New Jersey’s earliest civil rights movement from New Jersey social studies curriculums diminishes our understanding of how democracy has grown and expanded and, Whereas, the inclusion of New Jersey’s earliest civil rights movement in the history and social studies curriculums of our state would enliven the study of our past, We, the undersigned citizenry demand that the mission and goals of the New Jersey Amistad Commission be expanded to include the history of the great civil rights struggle - as well as the fight to end slavery - waged by free African Americans in New Jersey in the nineteenth century. Lastly, we strongly urge the New Jersey Department of Education, the New Jersey State Legislature Education Committee, and the governor of our state to support this petition in their fullest capacities.
