Please join the fight to improve the Voting Rights Act of 2014. Everyone deserves the right to vote!

PETITION:  Yale Stop Supporting Avelo Airlines We, the undersigned, oppose Yale Athletics’ and Yale University flying with Avelo Airlines, which profits from ICE’s cruel detentions and deportations. ICE and other agents ambush our neighbors— a mother taking her children to school, an honor roll student attending a mandatory appointment, and hardworking families—then move them across states in shackles, without due process- before deporting them. Avelo Airlines enables and profits from this cruelty, even hiding its name on deportation planes. Do the right thing. Stop Flying Avelo–ICE Air.

Needed outcome: 1- Stop the New Song organization from purchasing the Santora building! That the New Song organization and its money hungry leaders back out of this contract with Mike Harrah 2- They sign a contract in order to keep their religious worship, proselytizing, propaganda and their religious meetings OUT of the Santora building and take it elsewhere. The Santa Ana, Ca. 92701, Artist Village is in big trouble! At its very heart there lies an art building, which is in escrow to be purchased for 6.4 million dollars by The New Song church, an Evangelical Christian organization from Orange county. This building just so happens to be the heart of Santa Ana's Artist Village and Santa Ana (like most cities in America) is already flooded with one Christian organization after another and the last thing it needs is a church inside the heart of the artist village where progressive thinking, intellectual thought and artistic freedom is to be appreciated and celebrated. It is our concern that the artistic integrity of our daily lives is at risk of becoming censored, shut down and down right eradicated. We all have already heard about Jesus, and do not deem it appropriate to have a worship group superimposing its religious tenets upon a village of artists. The New Song organization and its ownership are indeed business people just like anyone else, and we're asking the city council of Santa Ana to form a contract with the organization and its leaders and owners, in order to keep their religious tenets and worship services out of the Santora Building. My personal belief is that Jesus would never, ever, even dream of doing such a thing. Please, lets keep dogmatic, power hungry, rich, organized and unoriginal religious worship out of the Santora Building with no censorship of the art or any of the artists within the building. This building is a historic building which has been dedicated and protected by the city for the purpose of artistic endeavors and now this wonderful building is in serious Jeopardy of being hijacked by the uncultured, antics of Religious, Christian, Dogma and the money hungry owners of the New Song organization, who only care about more members and tithing payers and not about the freedom of artistic expression. David Benavides, a member of the city council is a member of the New Song organization and is believed to be a major roll in this 6.4 million dollar transaction. Business, Religion and Politics going hand and hand in America is a major injustice.

We sincerely implore WHO and Director General, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, based on the following reasons, consider granting membership and issuing an invitation letter for Taiwan to participate in the 72nd WHA in Geneva, Switzerland in May 2019.

Governor Malloy, I ask that you reconsider all plans for new and expanded highways, including the I-95 widening, promote fix-it-first policies to rebuild the infrastructure we already have, and improve and expand public transportation, biking, and pedestrian options for Connecticut.

Healing Through the Sound of Music has published a new initiative to establish a National Day of Remembrance on October 6th, the birthday of Mrs. Fannie Lou Hamer, to remember ALL Americans who worked in the struggle for the right to vote subjecting themselves to brutal beatings and murder.

We demand that you direct the supervisor of elections to immediately begin counting the over 127,000 petitions submitted to ensure Miami-Dade voters are heard this election. Residents deserve a public vote on new campaign-finance laws to get big money out of politics.

Please do not delay the implementation of our country's new overtime law, and do not eliminate the indexing provision. Working people are already counting on this law to help make ends meet. By delaying it, and by removing the provision that indexes overtime pay, we could be left behind.

It's racially biased for CNN to respond to the death of Alton Sterling—the 114th Black man to be killed by police this year—by using an old mugshot in its news coverage of his death. CNN must stop this disrespectful, damaging, and racist coverage of Black men killed by police.

Governor Kelly, Please do not penalize the hybrid and electric vehicle drivers of Kansas for the mistakes of the Brownback Tax Experiment. Veto Sen. Sub. for House Bill 2214. Don't penalize Kansas drivers who invest their own money to benefit society. No New Taxes!
