Senator Al Franken has been railroaded by the democratic party and should become a independent instead. A investigation should be completed and Al Franken should be given 'due process' like he deserves.

We are concerned residents of the 22nd Senatorial District and Brooklyn, NY.

The people of Alabama—powered by strong turnout of African-American voters and overcoming the GOP's shameful voter suppression efforts—spoke up decisively in favor of Doug Jones last night. We also spoke up against the GOP's attempts to strip healthcare from millions while giving massive tax breaks to the richest Americans and largest corporate donors. But Mitch McConnell says that he won't allow our newly elected senator to vote on the GOP's controversial tax bill. He's choosing to push through harmful legislation that will hurt the poor and middle class while giving massive tax breaks to the 1 percent. Mitch McConnell is exactly the reason so many Alabamians and people across our nation are sick of politics as usual. The people voted. Let us have our voice. Seat Doug Jones immediately upon certification of Alabama's election results—then hold the tax vote.

At least eight women came forward saying Roy Moore sexually harassed or assaulted them--including those who were under 18 at the time--one woman who says she was 14 years old when Roy Moore took her to his house, took her clothes off, and initiated sexual conduct. At first the RNC cut ties—yet after just several days, they resumed full support including funding for his campaign. Donald Trump campaigned for him. I'm from Minnesota originally, and as much as it broke my heart to see Senator Franken resign over allegations of inappropriate conduct, I know there should be no partisan line when it comes to holding our esteemed elected officials to a high standard. These elected officials are accountable to us—the people! Surely, we can all agree serious and credible allegations from victims of sexual violence should be taken into consideration before propping up people like Roy Moore as the face of the Republican party. Tell the Republican Party to commit to stop funding accused pedophiles and sexual assaulters in the future.

Roy Moore should not be allowed to be a senator if it is indeed true that he dated girls under 18 when he was 32. There is an allegation of him pursuing a 14 year old girl and evidence would suggest that is indeed pedophilia. Furthermore, Roy Moore has publicly lied to the people of Alabama regarding this behavior.

Members of Congress use taxpayer money to settle (and cover up) sexual harassment claims. I'm personally affected both as a taxpayer and as someone who deserves a Congress free from sexual harassers.

To reverse a poorly conceived and executed decision to accept Al Franken’s resignation amidst a politically charged atmosphere that wrongfully failed to protect an elected official ‘s right to due process including the protection against wrongfully defined accusations.

We are all Americans, and American values are being treaded on, I will not stand for it. Do something as my representatives or you will never have my support again.

This isn't about Democrats or Republicans, it's about decency and who we want making our laws. Moore stands accused of pedophilia. He also thinks Muslims shouldn't be allowed to hold public office and that being LGTBQ is a crime. Moore has shown, through his words and actions, that he is unfit for office and cannot be trusted to make laws that will impact the lives of all Americans. The measure I propose may sound extreme. Republicans have majorities in both houses of Congress so they don't need votes from Dems to keep the government running. Republicans also have the power to keep Moore out of the Senate should he win. I'm simply asking for clarity from both sides. With any luck Doug Jones will win and this petition won't matter. Just in case, we need to show what we stand for, what we value.

We the undersigned are concerned citizens that urge Rep. Trent Franks(R) to step down from his elected office effective immediately in light of your inappropriate behavior.

We need to rally for him to resign.

All legislators should be held accountable for unacceptable behavior.
