Revoke Rush Limbaugh's Presidential Medal of FreedomThe Presidential Medal of Freedom is for people who have “an especially meritorious contribution to the security or national interests of the United States, world peace, cultural or other significant public or private endeavors." Rush Limbaugh has only been a divisive media host.89,435 of 100,000 SignaturesCreated by Dan Sainovich

After Iowa: Demand secure and accurate electionsThe fiasco created by the Iowa caucuses could be just a preview of what’s to come -- if we don’t get serious about securing our election systems right now. Caucus-goers tried to make their voices heard, showing up and speaking out for the presidential candidate they believe in. But the night quickly devolved into chaos -- as officials tried to use a new, untested app to report the results. Precinct leaders struggled to use the app. Many hadn’t been trained on it at all. And as a result, nobody could be certain that their vote was going to count. The only thing that prevented a complete electoral disaster? Tried-and-true paper ballots, which election officials could recount by hand. As other states gear up for their primary elections, we must pressure election officials to implement the strong, simple solutions that protect our democracy: paper trails and risk-limiting audits. Anything run on a computer can be hacked or experience glitches -- so these backups are essential to make sure the final results are accurate. Add your name to tell election officials nationwide: if we can’t count on you to conduct elections that are free, fair, and accurate -- then we don’t have a real democracy anymore. Every election must include paper ballots and risk-limiting audits.2,174 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Common Cause

Tell Congress: Ban facial recognition in schools!If you have kids in high school, they’ve probably read Orwell’s 1984. But now, they’ll get the chance to live in a real-world tech dystopia. Tech startups are quietly selling facial recognition services to high schools across the country. And the potential danger for students, especially students of color, is too troubling to just sit idly by. Facial recognition in schools also gives administrators the unprecedented ability to track and monitor students in real time, during some of the most formative years of their lives. What’s worse: as minors, students may not have any legal recourse to protect themselves from the racial flaws within facial recognition systems.285 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Demand Progress

North Durham Community Recreational FacilityMore importantly, the Mayor of Durham, Hon. Steve Schewel, has already verbally expressed his understanding, agreement and support for the establishment of such community Facility during his visit on January 15th, 2020. In just a few short years we have had a population growth spurt which has tripled the size of the North section of the City due to aggressive residential Real Estate Development. However, the children and seniors of these tens of thousands of new Residents have no Community Recreational Facility and therefore play in the street which is unsafe, unnecessary and unacceptable.185 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Casim Noble

Let’s break the cycle of systemic corruption.Chicago House and Social Service agency serves some of the most marginalized populations in Chicago. Communities that are experiencing homelessness, communities that are impacted by HIV and Trans women and Gender expansive communities. Chicago House Chief Financial Officer Andrea Peoples was arrested on January 6, 2020 by Chicago Police Department and Cook County State’s Attorney office charged her with felony theft. Andrea Peoples and two other “high level” employees defrauded Chicago House and Social Service Agency out of hundreds of thousands of dollars. This crime has put the clients, employees and community members at risk for losing access to housing, medical care, HIV prevention, legal, and case management. We can no longer put fiduciary trust in a group of people who did not sound the alarm as this robbery to our communities took place. We need new leadership that can be accountable and transparent to the communities it serves.

NO STATE OF THE UNION FOR TRUMPIf he is allowed to be honored at the State of the Union as he walks in and is announced, and then gives the speech, as President, as if he has not been impeached by the House of Representatives, or as if nothing has happened, it would make a mockery of the event! He and the Senate have already made a mockery of our Constitution and our Democracy! Call The Speaker, Nancy Pelosi to say No State of the Union! 206-508-405119 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Maria Andrade

Domestic Violence Is More Than PhysicalThis change is important because there are going to be a lot more victims of domestic abuse because the perpetrators would now get away with abusing their partners without repercussions. Psychological and mental abuse could potentially lead to an increase in suicide due to the victims no longer having a way out of it with help from the law. The following link will take you to the article showing the Trump administrations decision. https://www.google.com/amp/s/slate.com/news-and-politics/2019/01/trump-domestic-violence-definition-change.amp38 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kenny Henkes

FAKE TRIALTrump, and any future president, shall be held accountable for breaking the law, be it federal, constitutional or public laws. WE THE PEOPLE, that pay your exorbitant salaries, declare that you have failed in your duty. Your duty to represent us and uphold the constitution. You also have broken the law of our land by not holding a fair trial and subverting your oath to be fair and impartial. Retribution to the GOP will be swift and long lasting. WE THE PEOPLE declare that you must remove Trump as President and also hold all accomplices accountable immediately so that our constitution and laws are restored.43 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Pamela Hunter

We the People, the ForgottenTaxpayer money is being wasted. The homeless black and white man are forgotten, forced into deplorable situations, and told by the shelter board we are screwed and not a priority. The taxpayer is paying for a system that can change and we can be in jobs, out of the shelter system faster, and not even in subsidized housing, not in section 8, not in assisted living, but in our own homes. We do not have to stand by, wasting hard earned taxpayer dollars, and just accept the norm and say things cant change, we are screwed. Things can change. Perceptions of those forgotten and left behind can be challenged. Help can be obtained. We will not be silent any longer.24 of 100 SignaturesCreated by brandon leonardi

Protect people with disabilities!President Trump is proposing changes to disability insurance (SSDI and SSI) that would impact an estimated 2.6 million people with disabilities, many of whom are families with children. Families like Kara’s in North Carolina: “My son is on the autism spectrum, he has other health issues that limit what he is able to eat, and he has horrible anxiety. He’s never been able to attend a regular school—we had to pull him out at the age of 7 because he would get so anxious and have hallucinations. On top of that, I have serious health issues. I have had 7 back surgeries and I’m on 19 different prescriptions. I’m a fall risk. I’m in bed a lot. I have blurry vision, narcolepsy and Behcet’s Disease (an autoimmune disease). I worked as a therapist but eventually had to close my practice. My husband works from home so he can take care of us but because of that he can’t advance in his career. I started applying for disability and was denied twice. Then I got a lawyer and it took forever for me to get a hearing and eventually get approved for disability insurance. SSDI got us to the point that we weren’t terrified all the time. We can breathe. If we lose it I don’t know what we will do. I’m terrified by President Trump’s proposal quite honestly.” We'll be submitting our official comment on Trump's proposed federal rule change on disability insurance and we want to make sure your signature is included.440 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Joy, MomsRising.org

Demand Glens Falls City Police Enforce NY State Penal Law, disorderly ConductFailure to enforce this law is seen as encouraging the breaking of the law, empowering those who wish to silence protest, thus making the city and police department culpable in the event of injury or death resulting from aggressive action against those who peacefully assemble. Tell our city officials to enforce the law. Demand they make our gatherings safe for all citizens to attend. A city where parents can safely bring their children to rallies to witness the exercising of their First Amendment Rights, without fear of exposing them to violence or foul language .403 of 500 SignaturesCreated by AGATA STANFORD
