Access to information is a basic human right. The DC Jail, which holds around 1,400 people at all times, has a law library but does not have a fully operational library with books providing educational, vocational, and entertainment resources. Please join us in signing and circulating this petition to encourage Mayor Vincent C. Gray to establish an accessible, book cart-based library with a paid librarian at Washington, DC’s Central Detention Facility this budget season.

The science says that ANY development in the Ten Mile Creek watershed will pollute Little Seneca Reservoir.

Symbols of hate and division have no place in our military. It's time to stand up for what's right and take down the Confederate flag!

El neoyorquino Donald Trump ha utilizado ataques racistas y antiinmigrantes para llegar al primer lugar en las encuestas para las elecciones primarias del Partido Republicano. Pero lo único que hemos escuchado de los republicanos poderosos elegidos en el gobierno estatal de NY hasta ahora es ... silencio. Dile al líder de mayoría del Senado, John Flagan, y el resto de su partido: ¡denuncie el discurso del odio de Trump!

Dear President Obama The new moderate President of Iran will be in New York during the next session of the United Nations General Assembly. From sanctions on Iran to the Syrian crisis there are millions of people who would benefit from you talking to the new moderate President of Iran, and seeing if you can work out differences in a diplomatic way.

Attorney General Barr violently denied a group of Americans their First Amendment right to peacefully protest -- when he ordered police to attack them with tear gas, rubber bullets, and batons to make way for President Trump’s photo-op outside St. John’s Episcopal Church. Barr has repeatedly catered to Trump’s whims at the expense of the rule of law and the rights of the American people -- but this attack is a sickening new low. Congress must impeach Barr and remove him from office before he can do any more harm.

In light of the decision by the U.S. Supreme Court dated July 1,2024, entitled Trump v. United States, granting immunity to the current and past Presidents of the United States for acts that are in their official capacity, it is essential to the survival of the American Democracy that we amend the Constitution, Article II Section I as follows: after the words “The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. However, no President or past president shall be immune from prosecution for any illegal acts which if committed by an ordinary citizen would be a crime under federal or state law. If a President or past President has committed such an act that would be a violation of either state or federal law, he or she shall immediately be prosecuted by the appropriate authority and shall stand trial so long as the statute of limitations has not expired.

Abolishment of All Governments

In the upcoming review of the state energy policy(CES), the administration, legislature and energy bureaucracy(DEEP and PURA) must stop the underwriting, on the tab of the utility ratepayer, of home and business heating methane conversions, enhanced or new interstate methane pipelines, and associated new methane burning power plants. The state’s methane policy (the current main driver of its energy plan) has been demonstrated as nonviable from a business/ratepayer standpoint-as the collapse of the gas/oil price spread has undermined the ratepayer savings that were to recompense them for the buildout costs for which they are ultimately billed. Environmentally, it is a also detrimental for many reasons: the basic one being that it will commit CT to fracked methane when we need to switch to more business friendly and responsible renewable energy-which is ready to go with a little government cooperation. At the very least, CT ratepayers, gas and/or electric, should not have to be on the hook for this unjustified, irresponsible venture. Stop letting entrenched fossil fuel interests play with CT ratepayer house money.

This petition asks Loretta E. Lynch, Attorney General of the United States and James B. Comey, Director of the FBI to, as quickly as is humanly possible because of the upcoming election: Investigate any potential TRUMP bribes in TEXAS and FLORIDA.
