Senator Bill Cassidy: Hold a Town Hall in Southwest LouisianaSenator Cassidy's office phones have been going to voicemail, and in some offices the mailbox has been full. Constituents in Lake Charles also have been unable to confirm whether anyone is staffing the local office. Constituents deserve an opportunity to make their voices heard.194 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Andrea Mongler

Protect Georgia's ChildrenMy nephew is in the foster care system, and I have repeatedly seen DFCS and the juvenile court make decisions that place him at risk. When questioned, they blame the state law. If the best interests of children are not the law's first priority, the law needs to be changed.128 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Sam Simon

Support Justice Ginsberg: Abolish Electoral CollegeThe current administration has been put in place illegally according to the mandate of the Electoral College. The American voter was robbed of the popular candidate by the Electoral College's supporting their party rather than voting according to their mission; i.e., to guarantee that an unqualified, mentally unstable candidate never be appointed to the highest office in the land.18 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Barbara Gregory

Democrats Please Demand Trump Show his TaxesWe pay taxes; Trump does not. Trump is not a smart businessman for not paying his taxes; he's a crook. We need a president to set a better standard.16 of 100 SignaturesCreated by mary place allyn

HELP us Join the movement of communities designating themselves as SANCTUARY CITIESAs a 10 year resident of Westfield and the father of 3 children I think that it is imperative that we create an environment that fosters inclusiveness and diversity. One in which every member is free from the fear of being singled out because of their differences. In a sanctuary city, officials implement policies to restrict local police from turning immigrants over to federal immigration agents and declare in no uncertain terms that immigrants are welcome. Without them, undocumented immigrants are left vulnerable to racial profiling, detention and deportation. It is our hope that this petition will help us get on the agenda to discuss adopting a resolution to become an official Sanctuary City. Please help us join the hundreds and hundreds of cities across the US that have become Sanctuary Cities.169 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Jonathan Blitt

Right To Recall Missouri Federal OfficalsIt has become obvious that MO Senator Roy Blunt votes have been bought. He is ignoring the calls from his constituents and needs to be held accountable. To prevent this from happening in the future we need the ability to recall our federal officials.292 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Sarah Gibson

Support Gerrymandering Reform in PennsylvaniaWhen a politician wins an election, he or she is allowed to draw their own districts as a tactic to ensure their own re-election. A politician should not be allowed to choose their voters. Rather, the voters should be allowed to choose their representative. By utilizing a nonpartisan committee, we can end this practice so that districts are straightforward and represent the needs of the community rather than a political party.11,326 of 15,000 SignaturesCreated by Amelia Nichols

Oppose Neil Gorsuch for the Supreme CourtI received an email from the White House asking for signatures for Trump's petition to show support for Neil Gorsuch for the Supreme Court. The White House website has this petition highlighted uppermost on the site. I created a petition there for the opposition view. However, the government site accepts signatures for my petition, but does not count them! This is an example of the authoritarian tactics American citizens are now facing. I am asking MoveOn members to help counter the lies and misrepresentations coming from the administration on the levels of support for right-wing leaning nominations, especially for the Supreme Court, by signing this petition.123 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Noreen Winningham

Save the Election Assistance Commission!House Republicans want to eliminate the Election Assistance Commission (EAC) -- and we can’t let that happen. The EAC’s job is to ensure our election infrastructure meets the highest standards for security and usability. They work with state officials to help them meet these standards, and gather information about the best ways to ensure that every eligible voter can have their vote counted. With still-unanswered questions about the influence of Russian hacking on the 2016 election, now is the worst possible time to throw out these critical safeguards. That’s why we we can’t let Republicans gut this critical commission. Congress created the EAC when it passed the Help America Vote Act in 2002 -- a package of reforms to improve voting systems and voter access in the wake of the 2000 election. We’ve made a lot of progress since then, but there’s still more work to do -- gutting this agency now would be the wrong move. The greatest democracy in the world deserves the best, most secure elections system in the world. The EAC works every day to make that a reality -- so we can’t let Congress eliminate it. Add your name today: we must save the Election Assistance Commission.168 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Common Cause

NC Senator Richard Burr: Hold a Town Hall with Your Constituents!Senator Richard Burr of North Carolina refuses to hold town halls with the public, thus allowing him to avoid his constituents and their questions. We the people of North Carolina deserve a Senator who will hear us out and be willing to speak with us about his positions and votes. Repeated requests to his staff to hold town halls are met with derision and dismissal. In response to constituent Kim Y's request for a town hall, Senator Burr's Chief of Staff, Dean Meyers, replied, "No, I will not submit a request for a town hall meeting to the senator. If you have concerns, let me know about them and I will pass them along to the senator. No, I do not need your contact information, because we are not going to meet with you. If you are frustrated, that's YOUR frustration and I cannot help you with that. No, the senator will not have a town hall forum. No, I will not request one." Senator Burr claims to be a public servant, but refuses even to meet with the public he represents. He has said this is his final term in office, meaning constituents won't even be able to hold him accountable at the ballot box. By not being accessible to constituents, Senator Burr has basically indicated he will not be held accountable for his votes for the next six years. What is Senator Burr afraid of? We deserve a town hall!9,581 of 10,000 SignaturesCreated by Sarah Sydney
