Representative Hanna We The People call upon you to Learn More about TPP and to not sell out our democracy and our middle class to Asia! NO is the ONLY vote we will accept from anyone who claims to represent us on the Trans-Pacific Partnership... (NAFTA 2.0)! http://www.citizen.org/documents/analysis-tpp-text-november-2015.pdf

Equal treatment for all veterans exposed to AGENT ORANGE in the application of the law. Presumptively or direct matters not and should be non discriminatory toward any veteran exposed to AGENT ORANGE HERBICIDES and treated equally with all laws in affect including the NEHMER LAW AND ANY FUTURE DISEASES FOUND TO BE CONNECTED TO THAT EXPOSURE.

My Husband Robert F. Davis II (Bobby) has a drug addiction that has never had the proper resources to address it and beat it. He needs a long term rehabilitation center in lieu of more prison time. He learned his lesson on what his charges were and has not done anything more to go back but he needs helps with his drug addiction. He done 92 months in Federal Prison for possession of precursors and had never had a violent charge ever. He has 2 acceptance letters to different rehabs..I and his family just want him to get the proper help he needs, which prisons fail to do.

I propose that a coalition of legislators, via the President of the United States, introduce a bill to amend the US Constitution to say, that for each right and power guaranteed or granted under the U.S. Constitution, there is an equal and corresponding responsibility and duty. See below: One Sentence That Will Affect EVERYTHING! By John A. Mattsen New governments like the new government in Iraq, are usually compelled by unfortunate circumstances, to rapidly create constitutions that will be readily accepted, or at least be minimally tolerated, by a wide array of existing political factions. Though bitterly contested during it’s creation, the U.S. Constitution was a relatively easy thing to “sell” to the public, because it presented to the American people, a tangible vision of an effective government that would be well organized, and be limited in it’s power. The Bill of Rights was a relatively easy thing to sell because it, by tangible law, granted and guaranteed individual liberties. Because constitutions are created by consensus, under conditions of difficult compromise, constitutions that are successfully ratified inherently focus on what people will gain (“good news”), and consequently avoid what people will lose (“bad news”). In the years following the ratification of the U. S. Constitution, the Congress had a duty and a moral obligation, to actually deal with the “bad news” side of the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights. For 200 years, “they” and “we” have failed to do so, and over time, we have paid dearly for this mistake. This critical error has been hiding right in front of our noses for centuries! “Responsibility” is the “bad news” side of the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights.....the part that was never written into the Constitution...the part that would have created controversy and discord...the part that might have fatally delayed the development of our new government. “Responsibility” in the U.S. Constitution is a presumption....simply an implied notion that does not carry with it the full force of law. Our lives and everything that is touched by law, will be out of balance until such time that rights and responsibilities work together in our Constitution, and subsequently in our courts. I propose that a coalition of legislators, via the President of the United States, introduce a bill to amend the US Constitution to say, that for each right and power guaranteed or granted under the U.S. Constitution, there is an equal and corresponding responsibility and duty. Our failure to empower “responsibility” with the full force of law, has affected us in virtually every arena that law has had an affect on our lives! Adding this one sentence amendment to the U.S. Constitution will affect everything that is touched by law, and essentially, everything is touched by law. The proposed amendment will tangibly introduce into law and culture the notion of “duty”, without creating a dubious list of responsibilities. In every civil and criminal case, in every courtroom in the country, the notion of basic civic responsibility will carry with it, the full force of constitutional law, and in doing so, it will add “balance” to the discussion of “rights”. In common law the question, “What would a reasonable man do?” would become, “What would a reasonably responsible man do?” If you ask high school students what “rights” they have under the US Constitution, they do pretty well. But ask them about their responsibilities under the US Constitution, and they fall flat on their faces. This happens for good reason. Do a word search of the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights for the words “responsibility” and “duty”. Nowhere will you find the word “responsibility”. Nowhere will you find the word “duty” except as it pertains to a tax. HELLO! What’s wrong with this picture? Pick a problem! Pick any social, political, economic, or environmental problem. Pick them all! You will find that somewhere in that problem, to a greater or lesser extent, some entity’s failure to act responsibly is a factor in the existence of that problem. It stands to reason that if we move universally across the broad spectrum of our problems, to increase that level of responsibility for those entities, that we will also be moving to decrease the extent to which those problems exist. What factors in our present and in our future, suggest that we need to begin this debate? Unlike the 150 years that followed the ratification of the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights, the last fifty plus years have seen a fundamental shift in values that have weakened the informal system of social control. The responsibility for social control has now been shifted to the formal side (police, courts, schools, employers, etc.), where sanctions for improper behavior cannot be effectively enforced on a grand scale, without the need for “big brother” intrusions. (Like camera cops to catch people running red lights......people who are bo...

We have all watched in horror at Trump's missteps, unqualified cabinet, personal and family conflicts of interest, resignations, firings--a complete inability to govern, much less handle himself as an adult. Kim Jong Un presents a new danger that could affect millions of people in East Asia and the US. As does President Trump. Our government's latest provocative response to North Korea inspires even less confidence. It is time for the Congress to OUST this incompetent President NOW and call for a US-South Korea-North Korea meeting.

Last week, Donald Trump recklessly announced that he will pull the United States out of the Paris Climate Agreement, which has been signed by 195 countries in an effort to stop catastrophic climate change. In response, governors from California, New York, and Washington launched a coalition committed to the carbon reduction efforts called for under the Paris Agreement, which has now been joined by a total of 12 states and Puerto Rico. Please sign the petition and encourage Governor Herbert to support the Paris Agreement.

We demand that NYS Governor Andrew Cuomo do more than pay lip service to the rights of ALL New Yorkers. He is in a position to protect NYS immigrant families from Trump's worst abuses: PLEASE: 1) Ban the use of NYS resources from use in Trump's drastic deportation and border agenda, 2) Make use of the full amount of designated NYS resources ($10 million in the state budget) for undocumented immigrants to have legal aid; and SHOW US where it happens.

James Thompson is a civil rights attorney and an Army Veteran who was homeless as a teen. He has found success in life through his hard work and focus on progressive values. New to politics, Thompson is running in the Koch brothers's back yard in Wichita, KS against a Brownback acolyte, KS Treasurer Ron Estes. Kansas has a history of progressivism and is not monolithic; KS 4TH IS FLIPPABLE with the help and support of MoveOn. Thompson is a Berniecrat, and has a chance to win the Special Election April 11 with MoveOn's help.

For years you have been selling tabloids that incite hatred and division among the American people with such headlines as: HILLARY CLINTON FACING JAIL AFTER MURDER COVER-UP! LYING OBAMAS DESTROYED! NEW PROOF THE PREZ NOT BORN IN U.S.! These socially irresponsible tabloids tear at the tenuous fabric that weaves our society together, and they should be offensive to anyone with any sense of decency, regardless of political affiliation.  In the name of common decency we urge you to stop selling these scurrilous tabloids in your stores.

To help the world take the necessary steps toward a clean energy future, it’s time to reframe our economic thinking. The term “energy” has been conveniently, but inaccurately, equated with oil, gas, and coal — the outdated, destructive fossil fuels whose time has passed. The words we read and hear — in the news and on the financial pages — have a cumulative effect on our choices as consumers and investors. We call on the media to adopt wording that builds public awareness by calling things by their true names: “fossil fuels” and “renewable energy.”
