Whereas, since 1948 and the Nakba in Palestine, it has been the policy of Israel to drive the Palestinians out of their homes and villages and take their land. Whereas, During the final month of George W. Bush’s Administration ending January 2009, the Israeli military attack on Gaza resulted more than 1400 Palestinian deaths, 400 of them children. Whereas, The United Nations Human Rights Council investigated this attack in 2009 and issued what is referred to as the Goldstone Report. The United States House of Representatives by HR 867 on the 23rd of October 2009 voted to oppose unequivocally any endorsement or further consideration of the ‘‘Report of the United Nations Fact Finding Mission on the Gaza Conflict’’ … Whereas, “The United States Foreign Assistance Act stipulates that no aid may be provided to a country that engages in a consistent pattern of violations of international human rights laws.” Whereas, PM Netanyahu and Israel’s Likud Party are disingenuous about their intensions for a future Palestinian State and are continuing their illegal settlement expansion and colonization of the Occupied Territories that is preventing any real negotiations. Whereas, Zionists in Israel and in United States seek to block discussion and debate concerning Israel’s 46 years of military occupation. Whereas, the United States Government has become under the excessive influence of Israeli agents and is spending billions on Israel’s military occupation every year and is no longer acting in the best interests of Americans. Be it resolved, that the People of the United States have every right to expect Israel to respect international laws and agreements made to the State Department under The United States Foreign Assistance Act. Be it resolved, since the continued expansion of Jewish settlements in Occupied Palestinian Territory is preventing the resumption of peace talks, the State Department and Congress should stop funding Israel’s military occupation until all settlement activity is suspended and there is a comprehensive agreement with the Palestinians for a two-state solution based on the 1967 borders.

Precedence has long been set that when a leader acts in ways uniquely unprecedented in history, new words are added to the English language to reflect that behavior. Consider, for example, the Oedipus Complex, the Napoleon Complex, and the word quisling. The word quisling (meaning apostate, backstabber, betrayer, double-crosser, double-dealer, Judas, recreant, serpent, snake, traitor) was added during WWII, to commemorate the actions of Vidkun Quisling, a Norwegian army officer who in 1933 founded Norway's fascist party. In December 1939, he met with Adolf Hitler and urged him to occupy Norway. Following the German invasion of April 1940, Quisling served as a figurehead in the puppet government set up by the German occupation forces, and his linguistic fate was sealed. Before the end of 1940, "quisling" was being used generically in English to refer to any traitor. Winston Churchill, George Orwell, and H. G. Wells used it in their wartime writings. Quisling lived to see his name thus immortalized, but not much longer. He was executed for treason soon after the liberation of Norway in 1945. (Source: Merriam-Webster Dictionary). It is for this reason, the signatories below are petitioning Merriam-Webster Dictionary, the American people, and English speakers worldwide to add the following words to the English lexicon. Entrumped (verb): the act of a country’s leader ordering his troops to turn their backs on an ally despite military advice and honor. Usage: After years of working alongside their American allies to defeat a common enemy, the Kurdish people along with their American allies were entrumped. Trumpish (adjective): (1) Describes any lie, or extreme exaggeration, presented as the truth. (2) Describes the act of disseminating or promoting trumpish behavior. Usage: This blog post feels trumpish to me. His arguments are trumpish. I am tired of all the trumpishness. Furthermore, the signatories below commit to using these new words, which will for all time commemorate President Trump, in their daily conversations and in their social media comments, #entrumped, #trumpish.

Please take immediate action to expand the protected areas offshore of the northern California Coast by creating a marine monument through executive order that would ensure preservation of the ocean areas defined in Representative Lynn Woolsey’s bill HR 192. The proposal to expand the Gulf of the Farallones and Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuaries from Marin north through the entire Sonoma Coast to Point Arena in southern Mendocino County outlined in HR 192 has wide support from California’s Governor, elected officials, local governments, the Marin County Board of Supervisors, the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors, fishing organizations, businesses, chambers of commerce and environmental groups. The creation of a new marine monument would ensure that this vital area would be protected so it can continue to provide jobs for the coastal economy, the tourism industry, and the commercial and recreational fishing communities. Act today to show support for the millions of California residents that supported you in the recent Presidential election by creating an expansive marine monument that will augment the successful National Marine Sanctuary system offshore of our state.

I am requesting legislation that will repeal in its entirety Section 508 of the Texas Government Code. Also, I request the framework within the new, replacing section include retroactive language, which removes the systemic oppression, by mandating that work time credit and good time credit are now expressly, individually, and collectively applicable for parole eligibility and consideration for all offenders not under the sentence of death.

NoBushClinton2016 is a rallying cry for action to end the Bush and Clinton dynasties and take a new direction in national leadership. Limiting choice to two families is a major threat to the republic and the interests of its citizens. The Bushes and Clintons, historically entrenched in the distorted system of money politics, are not likely to confront it.

We need much stronger disability rights laws in order for more employable people with disabilities to become employed, especially in professional occupations.

The National Security Advisor is the most important job in Washington after the President and President-elect Trump's appointee, retired General Lt. Michael Flynn, is unfit for the job. Flynn shares the same type of fake news that led a gunman to open fire in a Washington D.C. pizza restaurant on Dec 4th. We cannot afford to have such a gullible, paranoid, Islamaphobe in this most-critical post. We join more than 50 nonprofits calling on Trump to rescind Flynn's nomination. Flynn has promoted fake news stories that Obama is a “jihadi” who “laundered” money for Muslim terrorists, that the Clintons committed “sex crimes with children” and “secretly waged war” on the Catholic Church. He joined chants of "Lock her up!" at the Republican National Convention. Since Aug. 9 he has promoted 16 fake news stories on Twitter. Flynn tweeted that “Fear of Muslims is RATIONAL” and voiced unusual views about a connection between China and terrorist organizations. He's retweeted anti-semitic posts. His murky relationship with Russia has been labeled by a Pentagon official as “extremely odd.” Flynn was dismissed from the Defense Intelligence Agency over abusive management tactics. One former colleague described him as “unable to draw consistent conclusions” and Colin L. Powell, Former Secretary of State under George W. Bush, called him “right-wing nutty.” The National Security Advisor will have the last word on how the president should respond to international crises. The shooting of a Washington D.C. pizza restaurant on Dec. 4th was a wake up call that fake news stories can have very real consequences. President-elect Donald Trump's appointee for National Security Advisor has promoted these same kind of dangerous crackpot theories and he must be stopped from directing American military strategies in pursuit of a paranoid agenda. During a growing tide of nationalism around the world, the US needs a National Security Advisor who is level-headed, and retired General Lt. Michael Flynn is the opposite.
