Invoke 25th Amendment and remove TrumpThere is sufficient indication from President Trump’s actions and speech that he no longer has the mental ability to Perform his Constitutional Duties. The President appears unable to maintain attention to the subject of which he is speaking when not reading a prepared statement. He seems to not remember the details of conversations just a few hours later, and his recollection of those conversations seem to be totally incongruent with others who were a part of those same conversations. Literally thousands of Mental Health Professionals have stated publicly that our President seems to be exhibiting sign of either mental illness or dementia. Additionally, the Political Positions the President is taking now are so opposite to his previously stated positions as to indicate he is no longer able to think logically.52,796 of 75,000 SignaturesCreated by Ernest Madden

Respect the will of Maine voters. Protect Ranked Choice Voting!Ranked choice voting (RCV) allows voters to rank candidates on the ballot, not just pick one -- making their voices truly heard. RCV discourages attack ads, eliminates the "spoiler effect," and ensures that election winners have the support of a majority of voters. RCV allows us to vote our hopes, not our fears. In 2016, Maine voters decisively passed the Maine Ranked Choice Voting Initiative (Question 5). Since then, the Legislature has been debating whether they want to respect the will of the voters, and even considered repealing RCV. Now, they're debating it again. Democracy is built on the simple idea that elections should reflect the will of the people. Now, some officials seem to think that voters can’t be trusted. Sign the petition to tell the Maine legislature to respect the will of the voters!154 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Betsy Sweet

Is Trump cutting his own taxes? We deserve to know!President Donald Trump has refused to release his tax returns ever since he entered the presidential race, breaking with decades of bipartisan precedent. And there are already plenty examples of him and his family personally profiting from the presidency. That lack of basic transparency took on new meaning when Trump proposed a massive tax cut for the wealthy and corporate interests. Now, we have to judge the President’s tax plan without any idea how much it would benefit Trump himself. This is exactly why elected officials are expected to share their tax returns with the public -- so that voters can hold them accountable and evaluate conflicts of interest. But instead, Trump wants to rewrite our nation’s tax laws while keeping his own business dealings secret. Just one example -- Trump’s proposal to end the estate tax would likely save his children millions of dollars. There are countless opportunities like this in the tax code for Trump to enrich his personal wealth -- and we can’t know what they are without seeing his tax returns. Everyone has a right to know, and the right to basic transparency from the President of the United States. So before Trump moves his tax plan forward, he ought to give the public a clear picture of his background, experience, and business interests. Please add your name to demand that President Trump release his full tax returns to the American people.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Common Cause

Stop NRA's Overwhelming InfluenceConcealed carry without any training or licensing is dangerous and unnecessary and that is the case in Idaho including on college campuses. Pretty soon there will be more regulations on trained law enforcement than anyone who wants to purchase a gun to conceal and carry. And there is not a place in America for assault style rifles. They are designed for one thing: to kill humans. I don't feel safe at all with the natural progression of the unlicensed, untrained conceal and carry trend and the prolifiration of assault rifles.131 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Alexis M Ennis

Senator Rubio: Return the NRA's bribe moneyWhat happened to the kids and staff at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School near where I live in Florida is a tragedy, but once again Senator Rubio stood with the NRA instead of protecting his own constituents or the American people. Rubio still wants civilians to have assault weapons. And he said on Twitter that it's a "terrible day you pray never comes" about the attack while going on CNN a week later and refusing to distance himself from the NRA. Thoughts and prayers are not enough–especially when he's cozy with the NRA's extreme agenda! If you ask me this is bribe money. How else can you explain such a lack of action to stop gun violence when our children and community members are being slaughtered? Rubio and his fellow Republicans have taken tens of millions from the NRA and the gun lobby! No wonder Rubio keeps siding with gun manufacturers over the safety of our kids. We have to stop all politicians from taking money from the NRA and gun lobby! We need them to work for "the People" not for big business! Sen. Rubio is a national Republican figure, and we must hold him accountable for what he and his party are doing to our communities.13,830 of 15,000 SignaturesCreated by Leslie Hooker

Put children and families first.The Trump administration is pushing through a tax agenda that will benefit profitable corporations and wealthy individuals at the expense of low- and middle-income children and families. Meanwhile, the administration has fallen short in its response to the disaster in Puerto Rico. Congress missed the deadline to extend the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), and is now attempting to attach Medicaid cuts to the bill in order to fund the Trump tax cuts. The pattern is clear. Our government should prioritize the needs of children and families, not corporations and the wealthiest individuals.872 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by Renee Coe

Tax Returns RequiredThe purpose of this petition is to allow the public the ability to discover potential conflicts of interest that could affect the candidate's future work. Prior to the 2016 election, this has been a tradition but not a requirement. However, given the level of conflict of interest displayed in the current administration this disclosure should be made a requirement to prevent future corruption and oligarchic possibilities at the federal level.52 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Barbara Lambert-Sanabia

Impeach Jeff SessionsEnforcing and protecting the Civil Rights of ALL Americans should be of vital concern to all of us. As an LGBT individual the position of the Justice Department on such issues affects me very directly, but this is really not about me, this is about the millions of Americans, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, and Allies who find themselves or their loved ones being relinquished to second-class citizenship by Jeff Sessions' actions.18 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Denis Antoine
