Senators are elected to serve the needs of the residents of their state and should therefore avail themselves to the general public whenever they return from Washington D.C. According to their official websites, neither Senator has any public events currently scheduled during the upcoming recess. As an Arkansas resident and voter, I find this lack of interaction with their constituents to be unacceptable.

Hundreds of his constituents have tried to get a meeting at his offices. He never shows up. He is avoiding hearing our concerns. He works for us. We want a town hall.

UPDATE: GREAT NEWS! Less than 24 hours after our petition launch and accompanying tweetstorm at the Oversight Committee handle, @OversightGOP, Chairman Chaffetz, announced that he would be probing security protocols at Mar-a-Lago security. A side-by-side comparison of the questions we requested be addressed and the Oversight Committee letter to Trump Chief of Staff Reince Preibus can be found at https://twitter.com/WomensAction/status/831644897614688256. We have to continue to hold Chairman Chaffetz's feet to the fire and ensure that the answers he gets on this subject are satisfactory. Our national security is at stake! Moreover, we must demand that Chaffetz does his job in all respects to hold the administration accountable. You'll be hearing from WAND soon to learn more about what we're doing to keep an eye on all matters of national security. ----- We demand that Jason Chaffettz immediately open an investigation into President Trump's handling of sensitive national security information -- particularly information related to North Korea's nuclear weapons and missile program and U.S. nuclear weapons -- while at his private club Mar-a-Lago on February 11, 2017. We encourage asking the following questions: Why wasn't the President moved to a secure location when responding to the North Korea ballistic missile launch? Is the Mar-a-Lago dining area considered a secure location? Is there a secure location at Mar-a-Lago? Was classified information discussed or viewed by the President in an unsecured location at Mar-a-Lago? Who thought it was appropriate to conduct national security business in front of Mar-a-Lago club members? How many people were near the President during the deliberations on North Korea's missile test? How many of them had cameras? Were there any unsecured smartphones around the table? If so, were the proper precautions taken to turn them off or move them away before sensitive national security discussions began? How many Mar-a-Lago club members were taking pictures? How many of those cameras have been checked by officials to ensure that no classified information was compromised? Has any classified information been compromised? Were the cell phones government issued or private property? How does one become a Mar-a-Lago member? Is there a requirement beyond paying the $200,000 member fee? If one joins Mar-a-Lago, can that person gain access to critical national security decision-making? Could any of the club members be agents of Russia or China or any other adversary? Do any of the Mar-a-Lago members have security clearances? Is there a protocol for Mar-a-Lago members to post photos on social media sites while dining with the President?

Senator Rubio has been absent from Jacksonville for quite a while. We demand that he appears in front of his constituents and address the issue of the repeal of the ACA (Obama Care ) and his plan (no plan so far ) to replace it with a viable and affordable one.

We believe democracy demands that every vote should matter equally and the president should be the one who wins the most votes. Neither was true in the past election, the second time in the last five elections. Under the winner-take-all method of awarding electoral votes, voters in Connecticut and other reliably blue or red states are ignored. Of nearly 400 events during the 2016 general election, 94% were in held in just 12 battleground states, only one was held in Connecticut. The NPV Compact is an agreement among states to award their electoral college votes to the winner of the national popular vote. Once states holding 270 electoral votes join, the Compact will go into effect, making the national popular vote winner the president. Ten states and the District of Columbia, representing 165 electoral votes, have joined the Compact over the past 10 years. The Compact does not abolish the Electoral College. It works within the framework of the Constitution, which gives the states the power to appoint Electors, “in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct.” Support for the Compact is bipartisan. Newt Gingrich wrote, “This important project has the potential to transform the way we elect our presidents and to make sure all Americans have a voice in their future." During President Trump’s first week in office the Wall Street Journal reported that he “told Congressional leaders that he was interested in getting rid of the Electoral College and replacing it with a national popular vote.” The measure is not new; it passed the CT House in 2009 and has received bipartisan joint favorable votes in the General Administration and Elections Committee in 2011, 2013 and 2014. NPV legislation is currently under consideration in 19 states, many of them red. Please make Connecticut’s votes matter by supporting the NPV Compact.

I think Nevadans don't feel that our voices are being heard. We want this opportunity to communicate our current concerns with our senator.

The week of February 18-26 is the first congressional recess of the 115th Congress, and for many of us, the first opportunity since Trump took office to speak directly with our members of Congress--without having to worry about going to voicemail. This is the perfect time to ask the questions that we, as constituents, deserve answers to and to demonstrate that tolerance of Trump's attacks on our health care, our communities, and our democracy are unacceptable and politically toxic. Already, we have seen a tremendous response at town halls--including over a thousand attendees at Rep. Chaffetz's event in Utah--but now members of Congress are running scared. Many members aren't planning to hold public events to hear from their constituents during the upcoming recess. It's our elected officials jobs to hear from and represent us, their constituents. Will you call on your elected officials to represent their constituents and hold a town hall or other public event, and pledge to attend to make your voice heard?

I am starting this petition so the people of West Virginia can make their opinions and concerns known to Senator Capito.

IT IS TIME WE STOPPED TALKING ABOUT THIS WASHINGTON D.C. MESS AMONG OURSELVES & MAKE DAILY/WEEKLY CONTACT WITH OUR US CONGRESS PERSON & 2 US SENATORS. THEY NEED TO KNOW THAT WE ARE MAD AS HELL & WILL NOT TOLERATE TRUMP'S AGENDA.

Congress will be in recess the week of 2/19 and we feel it's important to learn what Rep. Faso has learned and for him to hear the concerns of his constituents.

Representative Graves has not held a town hall in the history of the 14th Congressional District which is now 5 years old. The citizens of the 12 counties he represents deserve the chance to voice their concerns and know that he heard them.

Senator John McCain has served his country throughout his life and deserves to be treated with respect, regardless of whether we agree with particular viewpoints. The Senate has rules against impugning a Senator; they should demand the same conduct from the President.
