Shame on you, Senator GrassleyWomen have come forward to attest that Brett Kavanaugh has committed CRIMES against them. Instead of investigating, you and your staff have trivialized their claims and shamed these victims – who dared to speak out about his sexual misconduct – and are dragging them through the gutter. In the past, your Iowa values would never have tolerated such conduct ... but now you have become part of what's wrong in Washington, willing to let the end justify the means. You have lost your Iowa values. You destroy your legacy.110 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Barbara M Leach

Thank You for Your Bravery Dr. Christine Blasey FordI want Dr. Christine Blasey Ford to know she is not alone. I want to let her know that we stand with her and commend her for her courage by choosing to put her civic duty before her personal wellbeing and safety. By doing so, we also seek to empower survivors of sexual assault who want to come forward but are afraid to do so.135 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Caroline E Wenzel

Truth In Congress PetitionWith the circus the Democrats are pushing forward over the confirmation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh, it's well past time that We the People find out how many of them are "dirty." We all know that $17 million of taxpayers' funds were paid out to women who have accused congress members of sexual assault, but they were all conveniently silenced, instead of letting them have their voice, their time in court. It's time for President Trump to release the names of those congress members, as well as the dates of the incidents and the names of their accusers - completely unredacted.35 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Thomas Donald

A Brett Kavanaugh confirmation should also trigger mass protestsA friend of mine pointed out that everyone was ready to take to the streets over Rosenstein, but there was no comparable response to Kavanaugh. It looked like an example of patriarchal priorities and I thought this would be a way to fix that.27 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Rob Loftis

PMSD Keep Transportation IN HOUSE!Outsourced bus drivers are paid less with far fewer benefits, if any. Outsourced bus drivers have no vested interest in our children. Outsourced drivers have no commitment to us or our school district. Outsourced drivers are no longer at our discretion. Outsourced behavior is out of our jurisdiction. Entrusting outsourced drivers to your student bottom line is faulty. Outsourcing puts the district at the mercy of a third party enterprise. And in the end, outsourcing is a short-term solution and does not balance the budget for the long-term. Research shows that it will cost the district and taxpayers more. It is for all of these reasons and more, that the idea of employing a third party bus company (for OUR CHILDREN) is unworthy of our consideration.1,973 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by T Hoyumpa

Marijuana Legalization in VirginiaThis issue personally strikes home for me because a lot of my family has conditions in which cannabis can be used but our Drs rather shove pills in our mouths. My mother suffers from Crohns Disease, Chronic pain, PTSD & currently has tumors on lower abdominals, the Drs give her tramadol. My younger sister is Autistic with ADHD & Bipolar Disorder, they prescribe her Ritalin, Adderall, and Clonidine. None of these medications help them. Not only that, this year on April 14th I was arrested and jailed for Possession of Marijuana with Intent to Manufacture. This was my very first charge ever; never been in trouble before. But never fought my fate, told the arresting officer and judge the plants were mine, which I was growing for my mother. Edibles were the only thing that eased the pain and kept it that way for her. This situation caused my mother, sister, and me to be evicted from our home and was the reason for my termination. I was jobless for a while; no income and had to find a place to go. I was fined $1500 and jailed at "Albemarle\Charlottesville Regional Jail" for 2 months at only 19 years old. I have ZERO REGRETS, I feel and know I was doing the right thing, I looked at it as Trials & Tribulations, just another bump on this legalization road. With all that being said, I'm going to put my all into legalizing VA until the last breath. I know what's right and what's going on in Virginia is far from right.13 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jaemann Anderson

Subpoena Mark Judge to testify at Kavanaugh hearingIf Mark Judge does not testify, the hearing to decide Judge Kavanaugh's moral fitness to sit on the US Supreme Court will be a sham. Demand that everyone in the room at the time of the alleged attempted rape be called to testify at the hearing. Demand Mark Judge be subpoenaed to testify.79,533 of 100,000 SignaturesCreated by River Stillwood

Hit the Brakes on KavanaughProfessor Christine Blasey Ford’s sexual assault allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh cannot be taken lightly. The rush to confirm Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court must cease until these deeply disturbing allegations are addressed by the Senate Judiciary Committee and by the nominee. Like all survivors, Professor Ford deserves to be heard and treated fairly and respectfully. The abuse she detailed must not be ignored and belittled to jam through a Supreme Court nominee. These allegations come on top of a nomination process already clouded with uncertainty. Millions of pages of Kavanaugh's relevant records have been withheld from the American public. And allowing a President who is under investigation to appoint a Supreme Court Justice who might hear a case related to that investigation would compromise the integrity of the Supreme Court. There is too much at stake to rush this process. The American people deserve to know the full truth about any nominee for a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court -- and putting the brakes on Kavanaugh’s proceedings until we have all the facts is non-negotiable.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Common Cause

Trump Obstructs Justice in Toys R Us caseI was the federal court appointed CEO of eToys.com; which was stolen by Bain Capital and made a part of Toys R Us. On March 22, 2017, I sued Trump to block Jay Clayton for SEC and inform him about crooked US Attorney Colm Connolly. The D.C. Clerk of Court refused to docket my case (HAAS v. TRUMO) until 3 weeks after (May 24th) Jay Clayton was confirmed. Then Trump nominated Colm Connolly for Delaware Federal Court. Mitt Romney is being protected by Trump - Obstructively - to protect Goldman Sachs from indictment. There are many laws against this, including RICO; but no one with the guts enough to take on Romney & Goldman Sachs. America needs thus investigation.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Laser Haas

#HONOR1851TREATYOn 17 September 1851, the Fort Laramie Treaty was signed between United States treaty commissioners and representatives of the Cheyenne, Sioux, Arapaho, Crow, Assiniboine, Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara Nations. The United States acknowledged that all the land covered by the treaty was Indian Territory, however... BEFORE THE INK WAS DRY, THE TREATY WAS BROKEN. In the century that followed, over 500 treaties made with Native Nations were also broken — which has degraded the lives of Indigenous Peoples and the environmental health of Mother Earth. Honoring Native Peoples treaty rights protects us all from environmental genocide. Native Children's Survival challenges the United States and its Congress to #RightTheWrong and honor, with negotiations, at least one of the more than 500 broken treaties made with Native Nations - starting with the 1851 Fort Laramie Treaty.171 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Native Children's Survival
