Senator Roy Blunt we are asking for you to retire as US Senator of the State of Missouri on the grounds that you continually refuse to listen to Missouri constituents and hold a Town Hall meeting, with yourself present and accountable. This petition is also a direct reflection of your current voting standards. We are tired of your continued habits of strictly voting along party lines of the GOP. Sir, in doing so you have failed your Missouri constituents that represent a bipartisanship, and have thus grossly neglected the will of your fellow Missourians. You Sir- must step down and retire as Senator. Your vote for Scott Pruitt is clear evidence that you are no longer representing the peoples' voice of the State of Missouri.

Citing a rarely used 1924 law, Representatives Bill Pascrell (D-NJ) and Lloyd Doggett (D-TX) are calling on their Republican colleagues to obtain and review the president’s tax returns. The law states that either the Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee and the Senate Finance Committee, or the Joint Committee on Taxation, may request anyone’s tax returns―including the president’s. The American people deserve to know whether President Trump has financial ties with Russia and how his businesses will benefit from policies he implements. With serious questions being raised over the administration’s potential ties to Russia, such a review is critical―not just to eliminate potential conflicts of interest―but to ensure our national security. Sign the petition today!

Over $10 million taxpayer dollars have already been spent on travel to Mar-a-logo in just 3 weeks of the Trump presidency. This doesn't include travel for his family. Americans are suffering and the new administration doesn't seem to understand that we are not watching the Kardashian's spending their own money on lavish lifestyles, we are watching the Trumps spending America's money that could educate our children, feed the hungry or even pay for part of a ridiculous wall now being spent producing the Trump lifestyle and Trump TV.

This is the second time we have petitioned with hundreds of signatures in support of backyard hens. We are asking the Augusta County Board of Supervisors to listen to its constituents and approve this request.

This is the part of the Dodd-Frank bill that protects regular people from getting taken by corporations and scams.

It is absolutely imperative that our representatives listen to the concerns of their constituents. If we don't hold them accountable and make them hear our voices, then we are not doing our part as responsible citizens. Government is for and by the people. Senator Capito and Manchin must hold town-halls. Sign this petition if you believe our voices should be heard!

Since the Trump Administration took office, press briefings have not been the same. Reporter's questions are often unheard, or are barely audible, leaving us to speculate as to what the POTUS and his staff are responding to. The decision NOT to broadcast the questions delivered by our press (or to use "lazy" sound reinforcement techniques) at these briefings is a detriment to democracy, as an uninformed electorate cannot vote responsibly, or form accurate opinions about the administration's policies, behaviors, and its relationship with the press. As an audio engineer, the author of this petition recognizes that there are many well-known techniques that can be used to broadcast the questions posed by the press at these events at a minimal cost to the taxpayer. Additionally, new acoustic management systems are currently available that make direct miking unnecessary. If restaurants, college classrooms, and corporate businesses have such systems at their disposal, anything short of using the best kind of audio technology would speak poorly of our nation's highest office. In short, let's have great sound coming out of the White House, regardless of who's voice we are listening too!

On Thursday, February 16, 2017, Senator Heitkamp announced her support of pro-fracking Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt to head the Environmental Protection Agency. As a Democrat, Senator Heitkamp's shameful support of Pruitt goes against the overwhelming opinion of her fellow Senate colleagues, and it also runs opposite the opinion of the national Democratic Party as a whole.

There’s still too many unanswered questions about Donald Trump’s campaign and administration’s ties to Russia -- especially given National Security Advisor Michael Flynn’s resignation after lying about secret communications with the Russian ambassador about lifting sanctions. The public deserves an investigation we can trust -- which is why Attorney General Jeff Sessions must step aside from leading the investigation. The Department of Justice forbids prosecutors from participating in cases where they have “a personal or political relationship” with those involved. Jeff Sessions and Donald Trump have a particularly close relationship -- Sessions was the first Senator to endorse Trump, served as a senior advisor to his campaign, and even worked with General Flynn on national security issues during the presidential transition Given that relationship, we can’t expect Sessions to conduct a fair investigation into the Trump campaign that he himself was a key part of. His close relationships with the with the President and his aides raise too many conflicts for the public to trust the outcome of any investigation he’s involved in. During his confirmation, Sessions agreed to recuse himself from any investigations into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server because of his campaign activities. But somehow, that principle doesn’t apply when it comes to Donald Trump’s ties to Russia -- Sessions claimed he was “not aware of a basis to recuse myself.” We simply can’t trust Jeff Sessions to hold Donald Trump accountable -- so We The People must hold Jeff Sessions accountable. Add your name today to demand that Sessions recuse himself from any investigations into Donald Trump’s Russian connections.

I am a constituent of Rep. Grothman and am concerned about his reluctuance to speak publicly with residents of Wisconsin's 6th District. His colleague, Rep. James Sensenbrenner (R-Wis. 5th) has hosted a long list of town hall meetings, and has an equally long list of upcoming events.

Funding for PUBLIC education, the protection of our drinking water and air, healthcare opportunities for all, immigration policy, economic oversight, freedom of the press, just to name a few areas, are all being threatened under the new administration. It is important that we have an opportunity to speak to our representatives before it is too late.

Did Mike Flynn break the law when he talked to the Russian Ambassador? Did the Trump campaign contact Russian intelligence services? What is the relationship between Trump's team and the Russian government? What did Stephen Bannon and Donald Trump know, and when did they know it? The American people deserve answers.
