An erratic, abusive bully just won the White House following a campaign that leveled attacks against Muslims, immigrants, women, communities of color, and so many more of our friends and neighbors. If Trump's administration attempts to turn this bigotry into policy--or if hate groups emboldened by his election target our friends and neighbors--we must all stand up against this aggression. We can't change the election results, but we can make sure that folks who are scared and hurting know that the MoveOn community will not allow the hateful attacks of Trump's campaign to go unanswered. Let's make it clear to all people and communities under attack that we stand united against bigotry.

There have been multiple reports of harassment, intimidation and brutal physical attacks across the country since the election. Minorities who are US citizens are being targeted, asked to leave the country and told they are not American. This is the not the country our forefathers envisioned. Our elected officials must step up and speak out for the democratic principles our country was founded on.

ONE PERSON ONE VOTE WILL RESOLVE THE CONFUSION IN PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS

I have a sister, cousins, other family members, and lots of friends who are in the LGBT community. I have seen the fear in them about the few rights that they have being ripped away from them and becoming second-class citizens in a country that they love. At this point it doesn't matter who you voted for, let's vote for America and keep civil rights for all of our citizens. America was founded by those seeking freedom from persecution and became a haven for those seeking rights and equality. Let's keep it that way.

The United States is a democracy. The voice of the nation's people is what guides our government through the election process. The United States utilizes an obsolete election system based on the number of congressmen and population density in each state. The Electoral College is a flawed system because a candidate can win by a landslide in one state, and lose by a few thousand votes in another, giving that candidate the most overall votes, and yet the opposing candidate can still win the election because of the way the states are weighted in the Electoral College. This is the second election in recent history where the voters favored one candidate, but the Electoral College appointed the opposing candidate to the presidency. In doing so, our democratic process has failed the citizens of this nation and disempowered the voters in the election process. We, the undersigned, move to change our election system to one where the true majority rules and every vote counts. We wish to see future elections utilize the Popular Vote to elect officials to our country's highest office, and end the use of the Electoral College.

I am starting this petition because I want to make our country a better place, and right now people of color, LGBTQ people, women, Muslims, and other marginalized groups are living in fear.

I am a bisexual white male, who just has good friends of other skin colors that I am tired of seeing completely taken advantage of by the higher class. I'm tired of seeing the higher classes get people who specifically ring true to them on GOP side. I'm tired of the Democratic thinking small moves are the way to go. I'm tired of the gridlock that spanned for most of Obama's presidency. If he had been allowed to push through ACA earlier(GOP shutting down congress) we could have had something that actually worked by the time he left office. Instead the incomplete mess that we have will be scrapped and millions will lose insurance, this is not a better situation the better situation at least would have been to work from what we had.

Americans who oppose lies, bigotry, bullying, misogyny, and wholesaling of ignorance want to put first things first. We want to make clear that, whatever the economic issues, whatever the need for change, we cannot sell out basic moral values for economic and political objectives. Many voters set aside these ethical and moral standards for what they thought would be the economic gain and political change they think we need. We cannot begin there. We cannot build anything positive on such a base. First we need to unequivocally reject these evils. Then we can get our economic and political house in order. Not the other way around. What next? Principled, reasoned, rigorous, non-violent resistance. Please forward and circulate on social media.

When the will of the American majority is forcefully ignored by an antiquated system, it is time to abolish it and adopt a fair voting system where our votes actually do count. If there is more than one candidate running and the top candidate does not receive more than 50% of the vote, there should be a run-off vote between the top two candidates. This is fair. It is not fair or American to force the clear loser of an election upon the people.

Twice in 20 years Democrats have lost a national presidential election while still carrying the popular vote.

Tragically, Donald J. Trump is the president-elect of the United States of America.[1] As we watched state after state turn red, we could not escape the realization that the country was taking a sharp turn for the worst. To be clear, we’re under attack and we're scared for our families and loved ones. And we know we must resist, and change the culture that allowed Trump to rise to power. The stakes have never been higher. We have work to do and we need to be powerful enough to organize and refuse to support Trump’s regime and its heinous agenda. Pledge to resist Trump, defend those who will be targeted by his hate, and please ask your friends and family to do the same because no one should go it alone. 1. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/09/us/politics/hillary-clinton-donald-trump-president.html

My petition is about equal rights. Transgender people are being killed daily, thrown out and victimized because of their sexual orientation .
