The Mormon Church as described by its founder Joseph Smith in his July 23, 1843 discourse has functioned as a political organization since its inception, anticipating the eventual demise of the U.S. government and the establishment of a theocracy. This strategy is thoroughly documented in Klaus J. Hansen’s book, Quest for Empire: The Political Kingdom of God and the Council of Fifty in Mormon History (University of Nebraska Press). Today, this political philosophy continues to resonate with right-wing extremist politicians. Indeed, prominent members of the organization have secured key leadership and ideological roles in political movements such as Turning Point USA and the Trump administration. Although church leadership officially denies political affiliations, its financial contributions such as funding efforts to protect Idaho's abortion ban tell a different story. By removing the tax-exempt status of the church, we aim to make it clear to the general public that this functions as a political organization rather than a pure religious entity. Ultimately, this petitio  seeks to protect the rights of non-members to worship Almighty God according to the dictates of their own conscience."

Nolan Wells deserves to have the circumstances surrounding his case examined fully, fairly, and independently. When serious questions are raised about whether a person’s civil rights may have been violated, the public should not be expected to simply move on without clear answers. An independent federal review can help establish the facts, determine whether any wrongdoing occurred, and provide accountability where appropriate. This is bigger than one case. Public confidence in law enforcement and the justice system depends on transparency and meaningful oversight. When people believe serious concerns have not been adequately addressed, an independent investigation can help restore trust and ensure that constitutional rights are protected equally. By signing this petition, you are not being asked to decide guilt or innocence. You are asking the U.S. Department of Justice to examine the evidence independently and determine the truth. Nolan Wells, his loved ones, and the public deserve answers.

This matters because Americans with severe, lifelong disabilities should have the same right to fall in love, get married, and build a life with someone they love without being financially punished for it. The Disabled Adult Child (DAC) marriage penalty does not affect only disabled people. It affects parents, spouses, caregivers, brothers, sisters, and entire families. Any family can experience a devastating accident, illness, or disability that changes their lives forever. No family should then discover that the government places another obstacle in their path simply because their disabled loved one wants to get married. I became a quadriplegic just 21 days before my 21st birthday. I did not choose to become disabled, but I did choose to get married. That decision did not make me any less disabled. It did not reduce the amount of care I need or eliminate the expenses associated with living with a severe disability. My father worked until he was 92 years old and paid into Social Security throughout his working life. I believe the benefits earned through that lifetime of work should be available to help his severely disabled son—not denied because his son chose love and marriage. People should join this campaign because this is bigger than one person or one family. It is about basic fairness and dignity for Americans living with lifelong disabilities. We should never have a system that effectively tells someone, “You can have the financial support you need, or you can marry the person you love—but you may not be able to have both.” Your voice can help change that.

Removing the lynching tree is important because we should remember Brooksville’s history without continuing to display a symbol connected to racial violence in the center of our community. We can honor the victims and educate future generations through a meaningful memorial or historical marker instead.

We care about this because we believe our votes should matter—and that the rules governing our government should be clear before anyone knows who will benefit from them. Imagine voting for your Representative, watching your state certify the result, and then learning that a procedural decision could prevent that Representative from participating when the new Congress organizes. Whether that happened to a Democrat or a Republican, we would want the same safeguard in place. This isn't about predicting the election or choosing sides. It's about making sure the rules are established before the outcome is known. We don't wait for a fire to decide where the exits should be. We establish the safety procedures beforehand. The House Rules Committee is already considering the rules for the 120th Congress. This is the moment to ask for clear, nonpartisan safeguards—while there is still time to put them in place. We’re signing because we want the next Congress to begin with clear rules, respect for the voters, and constitutional process—not uncertainty or last-minute decisions.

This is important because real lives are at risk and in eminent danger from the Trump administration

Under the First Amendment, sexual predators across the nation can legally use AI to generate child pornography. The protection of our nation's children requires action. If you have any concern for the children in your care act now! 

ALPRs are AI surveillance devices, and the company responsible for their proliferation has a history of shady behavior and dealings with immigration enforcement. We as the student body do not want to be tracked by an AI surveillance company Some notable concerns about Flock Safety: -          Flock has a history of poor security practices. -          They have lied on the record several times. -          There is very little oversight on how Flock data is used. -          Flock data can be accessed by police without a warrant.

This latest power grab, which would entirely reshape the leadership of the Postal Service, is part of a broader strategy of this administration to upend our elections to control the outcome.  Trump is directing the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to build a nationalized list of citizenships and require the USPS to direct states to abide by certain mail-ballot design and tracking requirements. That means USPS would be managing a list of “eligible voters” and mandate that postal workers can only deliver ballots to people on that list. These lists run a real risk of purging eligible voters from receiving ballots, with states warning that they will not be accurate. Under Trump, USPS has  finalized a rule to refuse to deliver vote-by-mail ballots in states that do not turn over voter rolls to the DHS. They are sowing doubt and confusion in our election system to lay the foundation to contest this election if things don’t go their way. This is election denialism in action—and it has to stop. Tell the U.S. Senate to block Trump’s attempts to control our elections. Sign the petition now!

This isn't about one person. This is about We the People of the United States — and we don't want it. We didn't vote for a camera on every corner. We didn't agree to have our movements logged, stored, and sold. We didn't sign off on a private company profiting off tracking where our families drive, every single day, with no oversight and no accountability to the people paying for it. And the numbers back up what we already feel in our gut: LAPD's own internal audit found their camera system was wrong nearly 1 in 3 times. That's not a fluke — that's a system operating on our streets, making mistakes about real people, with almost nobody watching to make sure it's used the way it was promised. We are not anti-safety. We are not anti-technology. We are Americans who believe that any system with this much power over our privacy needs real transparency, real oversight, and real accountability — not a rubber stamp and a subscription fee. This is already working. Nearly 100 cities and counties across 28 states have already canceled or rejected these contracts since 2021 — because residents like us stood up and said something. That number grows every time one more person adds their name. If you've ever driven past one of these cameras and felt that same uneasy feeling — you're not alone, and you're not overreacting. Join us. We the People built this country on the idea that power answers to us, not the other way around. It's time these cameras did too. Stop the Flock. Add your name.

Communities across the country are organizing against Flock’s mass surveillance. At least 56 municipalities have deactivated, canceled, or rejected Flock contracts this year, from North Carolina to California to Massachusetts. Whether or not Flock has come to your community yet, state and city leaders have the power to act. They can: • Cut or refuse contracts with Flock Safety and similar ALPR vendors • Limit data retention to hours or days, not weeks or months • Limit data sharing, prohibiting access by other government agencies absent a warrant for a felony crime recognized under local or state law • Limit usage to felony investigations, missing persons cases, identifying unregistered or uninsured vehicles, and narrow non-enforcement uses like electronic toll collection • Require annual usage reporting and restrict ALPR data availability through open records requests, so it can’t be used for stalking or exploiting someone’s data for entertainment ALPRs enable warrantless tracking, fuel mass surveillance, and produce wrongful accusations with real harm to real people. Sign the petition now calling on state and city elected officials to block Flock and protect our privacy!

In August 2024, Phoenix Police Officers Benjamin Harris and Kyle Sue aggressively confronted Tyron McAlpin based on unverified allegations from a bystander. Within seconds of the encounter, body camera footage showed the officers repeatedly punching Mr. McAlpin and shocking him with a taser multiple times. Mr. McAlpin, who is deaf and lives with cerebral palsy, could not hear their commands and posed absolutely no threat. Following the violent arrest, the officers filed reports claiming Mr. McAlpin took a "fighting stance" and assaulted them. Because of these lies, Mr. McAlpin was wrongfully incarcerated for over a month before the Maricopa County Attorney's Office finally reviewed the evidence and dropped all charges. While the Police Department initially issued a minor 24-hour suspension to the officers, the Phoenix Civil Service Board voted behind closed doors to completely overturn Officer Harris's suspension and reduce Officer Sue's discipline to a mere written reprimand. Erasing what was already a minimal "slap on the wrist" is a profound insult to the disabled community and completely destroys public trust. A system that forces an innocent man to spend over a month in jail while letting the officers who beat him escape a single day of lost pay is fundamentally broken.
