We, the undersigned, demand a New Improved Medicare for All Single-Payer system that prioritizes health over profit. The Conyers Bill, HR 676 is a blueprint for affordable, truly universal healthcare for all from cradle to grave. We need those representing us in Washington to listen to the people and co-sponsor and pass HR 676 and the soon to be introduced Senate companion bill

Stop Tom Wheeler and the FCC from turning the internet into a place only the wealthy can enjoy. The new regulations allow ATT, Verizon and Comcast to charge a premium for higher speed internet services, preventing teachers, small businesses and non-profits from accessing information. This will prevent future companies like Facebook, Google, Netflix, Amazon, and Twitter from existing.

Our team proposes a prototype of a new bill to protect the people living in California from being tricked by the government into purchasing a house in these fire hazard zones and to enforce the law regarding campsite-national park fires caused by humans. This bill will also state that any project developed in fire hazard areas should be revised and approved by the California Department of Forestry and Fire protection.

President Obama should pardon Edward Snowden in the same way that President Ford pardoned his predecessor, Richard M Nixon. "In revealing the colossal scale of the U.S. government’s eavesdropping on Americans and other people around the world, he has performed a great public service that more than outweighs any breach of trust he may have committed." The New Yorker.

President Trump has repeatedly claimed that 3-4 million people voted illegally in the 2016 presidential election. This means massive electoral fraud and so, in order to safeguard the integrity of our political system, the Supreme Court must IMMEDIATELY NULLIFY the election results, remove Trump from office and hold NEW ELECTIONS (with the same two candidates) as soon as possible.

Dear Senator Schumer, Please insist on a secret ballot as part of the procedure for Trump's trial on the new impeachment charge of " incitement to insurrection". It only takes a simple majority of senators to establish this rule, and the Democrats now have that, so the Senate Majority Leader can demand it. This would enable GOP senators to vote their conscience, as their leader, Mitch McConnell, has told them to do.

We, the undersigned residents and supporters of Adams County, respectfully request that the town of Seaman consider adopting a new name that better reflects the values, identity, and future vision of its community. While the town’s name has historical roots, language evolves. Today, the name often creates confusion, distraction, and unintended humor that can overshadow the town’s character, businesses, and potential for growth.

As public school parents and concerned New York residents, we are in full support of the Teachers College students, faculty, staff, and alumni who are speaking out against the decision of Susan Fuhrman, Teachers College President, to award NY State Chancellor Merryl Tisch the “Medal for Distinguished Service.” This act raises two concerns about the ethics of the College. 1) There is a direct conflict of interest: as president of Teachers College, Susan Fuhrman also serves on the board of directors of Pearson PLC; she is paid a substantial sum of money each year and, through stock ownership, directly benefits from Pearson contracts. One such contract is Pearson’s $32 million contract with the New York State Education Department as the vendor for grades 3-8 ELA and math tests. Surely Fuhrman's tie to Pearson is an act of gross impropriety if not an illegal conflict of interest. 2) It was President Fuhrman's decision to honor former TC alumna Merryl Tisch. With 17 years on the Board of Regents, Tisch has served the last four as Chancellor, and in this capacity she continues with New York State's pursuit of Race to the Top funding. Along with the Commissioner of the New York State Department of Education, she approved Pearson's contract of New York State's high-stakes tests. Tisch’s tenure as a Regent is tainted. As the Teachers College award announcement put it: Chancellor Tisch has been "helping persuade teachers unions and other players to commit to increased charter school development and creation of a system that substantially based a teacher’s performance evaluation on students' test scores." By Fuhrman giving Chancellor Tisch this award, Teachers College implicitly endorses these discredited policies while ignoring a vast body of research and silencing the voices of faculty, students and alumni who oppose them. We urge Teachers College, a premier center of teacher training and educational research, to withdraw the honor for Merryl Tisch at the convocation ceremony on May 21. Teachers College should take a lead in rejecting unproven practices such as high-stakes testing and demand that Fuhrman relinquish her board position at Pearson or her position at Teachers College. Were Teachers College to honor Merryl Tisch in any way, we would then call on parents, interested parties from other schools of education, and concerned citizens to join the graduates in protest at the convocation at 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday, May 21.
