Stop Trump's Corporate CoupPresident-elect Donald Trump must sell his assets immediately and place them in a blind trust. He should also publicly release his tax returns so that the American people can determine for themselves whether his presidency poses conflicts of interest.43,919 of 45,000 SignaturesCreated by George Goehl, People's Action

Reject or Amend the OSPREY D LLC Rezoning Request CZ# 1759 (Sussex County Delaware)The Old Landing Golf Course is being considered for a zoning change from AR-1, Agricultural Residential District to MR-RPC, Medium Density Residential District-Residential Planned Community (Osprey Point D, LLC), which will add 350 housing units in this environmentally sensitive area containing wetlands, burial grounds, and flood prone areas. Key concerns include: 1) The proposed Osprey Point D, LLC Site Plan is not aligned with existing nearby communities along Old Landing Road. a. The Osprey Point D, LLC Plan places townhouses along Old Landing Rd which is incongruous with the character of existing communities near the Old Landing Golf Course (OLGC), b. Housing density in Sawgrass is 2.0 units/acre and the Osprey Point D, LLC Site Plan is approximately 2.77 units/acre (as calculated by Old Landing Woods HOA) c. This plan significantly alters and disrupts the scenic views along Old Landing Road 2) The site is in the flood plain and is currently prone to flooding during storms and moderate rain. a. Adding a large amount of impervious surfaces risks flooding adjacent areas and impacts the ability of the wetlands to filter and recharge the water supply. The wetlands protect nearby residents from storm damage. b. Given this is a State Level 3 Investment area, there are very limited state funds to address roads, sewer, water and other public facilities, which raises concerns regarding how storm water management and road improvements will be addressed. c. DNREC has very limited resources to monitor and adequately inspect construction to ensure features are implemented to protect the wetlands, manage storm water, and address flooding. 3) The proposed plan and response from Sussex County and State agencies does not adequately address Life/Safety concerns. a. The proposed plan will proceed without the benefit of a Traffic Impact Study (TIS) and analysis of life/safety issues due to single lane in/out of the area during mandatory evacuations during storm events. b. Multiple accidents have occurred along this site, where vehicles have left the roadway and crashed. This poses concerns about traffic safety, property damage, pedestrian and bicyclist safety. c. Increased traffic on this winding, two-lane road likely will increase the number of accidents and hence life/safety concerns.273 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Donna Voigt

North Carolina Students Face DeportationIn North Carolina, we have been hit very hard. Currently in the state there are 3 students that we know of who have been deported and 7 who are currently in Stewart Detention Center in Lumpkin, GA. These young men have been denied due process, and we are pleading that they are granted the necessary steps that will ensure they remain safe and sound in the United States. Yefri Bertin Sorto Hernandez, who is 19 years old (A# 206-766-187), was detained on his way to the bus stop by ICE officers on January 27, 2016, in Charlotte, NC. He is currently waiting for his Stay or Removal to be accepted. Yefri left El Salvador due to fear from gang activity. He has been separated from his mother for 13 years. Wildin David Guillen Acosta, 19 years old (A#206-799-049), was detained on his way to school. He was knocked unconscious by ICE officers who picked him up on January 28, 2016. His mother sent for him after various threats from gangs. A judge has denied his stay or removal on 3/18/2016. Pedro Arturo Salmeron, an 18-year-old ( A#206-794-982), was detained on his way to work with his father on January 26, 2016. Pedro currently has been denied a stay or removal but has a pending asylum case. Pedro was forced to leave El Salvador after receiving multiple threats by gangs. Bilmer Araeli Pujoy Juarez, an 18-year-old (A# 202-129-863), was detained on his way to work with his father on January 29, 2016. He has a stay or removal that is pending and has been granted a motion to reopen by Judge Holmes, yet ICE refuses to release him. Bilmer fled Guatemala due to threats from gangs, of which he has proof. He was significantly hurt by ICE and has severe sleep apnea. Santos Geovany Padilla-Guzman is an 18-year-old (A# 208-268-389) who was detained on his way to work on February 11, 2016. He has a pending asylum case with USCIS in Texas that was received on 3/11/16 and a motion to reopen with BIA pending, which was received on 3/11/16. He was forced to leave after his cousin was murdered by MS 13 gang members. These are just some of the few stories of the young men who are in danger of not only deportation but death if sent back to their home countries. Besides the 5 young men listed, there are also 2 more: Josue Alexander Soriano Cortez (A# 206-731-549) and Edwin Yonatan Alarez-Galvez (A#202-076-383). The undersigned ask the Department of Homeland security to stop the deportation of these students: Yefri Bertin Sorto Hernandez (A# 206-766-187), Wildin David Guillen Acosta (A# 206-799-049), Pedro Arturo Salmeron ( A# 206-794-982), Bilmer Araeli Pujoy Juarez (A# 202-129-863), Santos Geovany Padilla-Guzman (A# 208-268-389), Josue Alexander Soriano Cortez (A# 206-731-549), Edwin Yonatan Alarez-Galvez (A# 202-076-383). These students are low priority and should not be persecuted by ICE in the manner in which they currently are. If sent back, they will most likely face death due to the prominent gang activity in their home countries. Please Make a Call and Sign the petition to stop the deportation of students! Call Secretary Jeh Johnson: 202-282-8000 Call DC ICE @ (202) 732-3000 or (202) 732-3100 Sample Script: I am calling to urge ICE to stop the Deportation of Yefri Bertin Sorto Hernandez (A# 206-766-187), Wildin David Guillen Acosta (A# 206-799-049), Pedro Arturo Salmeron (A# 206-794-982), Bilmer Araeli Pujoy Juarez (A# 202-129-863), Santos Geovany Padilla-Guzman (A# 208-268-389), Josue Alexander Soriano Cortez (A# 206-731-549) and Edwin Yonatan Alarez-Galvez (A# 202-076-383).

Thank you, Dr. NeuhausWe want to thank you for your integrity, compassion, and courage for providing Kansas’ required second opinion to allow late abortions in Dr. George Tiller’s practice. We know that the stories of many of the women you interviewed were heartbreaking and compelling and that you stood for them and for their physical and emotional health. We also know that you and your family have paid a terrible economic and emotional price for your sacrifice. On behalf of the women you helped and of millions of women you will never know, we thank you from the bottoms of our hearts. We will work for a day when those who stand for women are celebrated.2,043 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Natasha Chart, RH Reality Check

Don't Shoot! Advocating for the passage of AB-89In a country devastated by the deaths and injuries of hundreds of people, many of them unarmed, at the hands of police officers, drastic changes are needed in our approach to public safety. Deaths of individuals such as George Floyd, Michael Brown and Eric Garner, there has been widespread resolve to decrease the amount of police violence and brutality in our country. Mounting evidence shows that deaths at the hands of the police disproportionately impact people of certain races and ethnicities, pointing to systemic racism in policing. While most use-of-force incidents are not considered misconduct, civilian fatalities and injuries, particularly of unarmed individuals, can nevertheless harm the public’s trust in law enforcement.152 of 200 SignaturesCreated by SWRK645 Advocacy

Call for and Join an International Coalition and Multi-National Army to Stop the IS.We call for the formation of a true multi-national army, of at least 300,000 fully equipped soldiers to forcefully and effectively eliminate the IS and the terrible threat it poses to the world and everything that humanity has accomplished. If allowed to proceed unchecked, the mass murder and extermination of all those who are not aligned with their fanatical beliefs will become unstoppable, causing global destruction and plunging the world back into the dark ages. Their deluded leader is nothing less than a potential Hitler who must be stopped now, lest his genocidal global plan be fulfilled. This is the only way to stop the IS. We must stand firmly on the right side of history or there may not be much left of our history, nor of our present humankind and all its achievements and wonders.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Luis Sanchez

Ban Election Officials' Conflict of InterestIn 2000, Ms. Katherine Harris was Florida's Secretary of State, the official in charge of making the elections fair. She was also the chair of George W. Bush's Presidential campaign, the person in charge of making sure Bush was elected. Look what happened. In 2004, Ms. Glenda Hood was in exactly the same position. So was Mr. Ken Blackwell, Secretary of State for Ohio. Despite the obvious fact that a single person cannot be in charge of making sure an election is fair and at the same time make sure one candidate wins, there was nothing illegal about this. Congress must immediately pass a law banning this conflict of interest. Any election official who takes a job working for a candidate running in that election must be forced to resign their position.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by C. Colvin
