• Congress: Investigate President Trump's claims of voter fraud
    President Trump has, as a candidate and more recently as President, made statements of fact that cannot be substantiated or, in some cases, are proven false. There is bipartisan support for the lack of evidence for the President's claims of large scale voter fraud. With this claim, he has taken a much larger step that challenges and potentially undermines the very foundation of our democracy.

  • Tax Resistance
    Donald Trump was in violation of the Constitution's emolument Clause the minute he took office. He has violated his oath and We The People demand to see his Tax returns and current business interests. We will not Pay Federal Taxes until our demands are satisfied. His Financial interests all over the world put our Democracy in Harm's way.

  • Democrats: Demand the Trump administration use government email.
    It's been reported by a number of outlets that Trump's team are already using unsecured RNC email addresses and personal email addresses for government work. It is also reported that Donald Trump is still using his unsecured smart phone after being sworn in as president. It might be allowable to give them time to adjust, if they hadn't campaigned on sending Hillary Clinton to jail over her use of personal email. Call upon them to get on secure servers, where their emails become part of the public record, now.

  • End lifetime salary and/or health-care benefits for members of congress.
    As a tax paying citizen, who has been paying into the system since I was 14-years-old, I feel strongly that it is time for this financial madness to end. Like Warren Buffet pointed out, if we stop paying Congress and the President lifetime benefits and salary these funds can go towards other important things our country needs, like paying down the deficit, helping families in need, improving our roads, etc., No other job or profession provides this kind of "lifetime" benefit and it's time members of congress learn how to live like the rest of us. NO MORE LIFETIME SALARIES OR BENEFITS FOR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS OR THE PRESIDENT!

  • Congress must investigate Trump's use of an unsecured phone
    Trump made Secretary Clinton's alleged misuse of personal email servers a focal point of his presidential campaign. Congress has a duty to investigate Trump's own potential breach.

  • DNC Dems: Help Keith Ellison Lead, Support TPP Withdrawal & NAFTA Renegotiation
    On January 23, the US announced that it was withdrawing from the anti-democratic, anti-worker Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement [TPP] and seeking a reopening of the North American Free Trade Agreement [NAFTA]. The AFL-CIO praised the moves, saying, "Today's announcement that the US is withdrawing from TPP and seeking a reopening of NAFTA is an important first step toward a trade policy that works for working people. While these are necessary actions, they aren’t enough. They are just the first in a series of necessary policy changes required to build a fair and just global economy. We will continue our relentless campaign to create new trade and economic rules that end special privileges for foreign investors and Big Pharma, protect our planet’s precious natural resources and ensure fair pay, safe conditions and a voice in the workplace for all workers." [1] Unfortunately, the Democratic Party still has not taken an official position against the TPP, having rebuffed a campaign led by Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Keith Ellison last summer to press the Democratic Party to oppose the TPP. [2] But now we have an opportunity to put the Democratic Party on track towards a pro-worker trade policy as called for by the AFL-CIO. On the weekend of February 24, members of the Democratic National Committee will meet and vote to determine the new DNC chair at the DNC's Winter Meeting. [3] Seven Members of Congress are on the DNC: Sen. Debbie Stabenow, and Reps. Maxine Waters, Barbara Lee, Nancy Pelosi, Danny Davis, Gregory Meeks, and Grace Meng. Reps. Maxine Waters and Barbara Lee have endorsed Keith Ellison's bid to lead the DNC. [4] Of the seven, only Meeks voted for fast track negotiating authority to enable the TPP. [5] If Keith becomes chair of the DNC, passing a DNC resolution that backs withdrawal from TPP and renegotiating NAFTA to be more pro-worker will help enable Keith to advocate for a pro-worker trade policy on behalf of all Democrats. Sign our petition to urge these Democrats to support Keith Ellison's leadership at the DNC by passing a resolution in support of TPP withdrawal and NAFTA renegotiation.

  • Senate: Vote NO on Mulvaney! Respect parents and caregivers!
    If caring for triplets isn't a job, we don't know what is! Maybe this multi-millionaire needs a time-out from politics to try out caregiving himself. We know we need someone who understands the challenges facing American families and their budgets. Mulvaney failed to pay $15,000 in taxes for four years of this woman's work. (Making around $60,000 a year sure sounds like work!) Yet once he was in office, he supported four separate pieces of legislation to keep anyone with unpaid tax debts out of the government. Now he's writing it off as an "oops." We know this means at least one of these two things: 1) He thinks, like Donald Trump, that it's just good business to try to get away with not paying your taxes 2) That raising his triplet children wasn't real work As Americans, parents, and taxpayers, we know neither is true nor acceptable. The Senate Budget Committee must hold Mulvaney to his own standards and only approve someone who is capable of good, honest home economics!

  • Tell Congress: Don't fund Trump's border wall
    The border wall that Donald Trump has demanded for years would be an ecological disaster, an enormous waste of money, and an international symbol of intolerance that doesn't represent America's values. But Trump has said that he will shut down the government unless Congress gives him $5 billion for the wall. Congress should not let Trump take our government hostage. Even many Republicans know that the border wall is a bad idea. The money could be better spent on projects related to health care, education, and the economy.

  • Congress: Require Trump to prove he has no Dakota Access Pipeline conflicts of interest -- #NoDAPL
    President Trump just signed an executive order that could allow work on the Dakota Access Pipeline to proceed—threatening the water of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and 17 million people who live and work along the shore of the Missouri River. Federal disclosure forms filed in May of 2016 showed that President Donald Trump held shares in Energy Transfer Partners and Phillips 66, both part of the DAPL entity. A Trump spokesperson announced--without offering any proof--that he had sold off his shares in Energy Transfer Partners, but not Phillips 66. Trump's team has claimed he has no conflict of interest, but their word is not enough. If the President has truly divested, he should easily be able to prove it and put the claim to rest. If he cannot, he has no business signing executive orders that cause conflicts of interest.

  • Access of the People to their Government
    Earlier this week, a series of gag orders were issued against federal agencies thus preventing the public from having access to their work and access to information. This is Un-American and there is not even any "national security" reason for this attack on our values of freedom.
