There may be inappropriate ties that would greatly compromise American and global welfare in the event of a Trump presidency. This compromise would affect the US in particular, the world in general. If inappropriate ties are proven, Trump must not be inaugurated as President of the United States.

Most states have adopted winner-take-all rules for their EC delegates. In recent days some have initiated draconian penalties for those who violate those rules. So far, a number of Democratic delegates have announced their willingness to back a reasonable Republican candidate if a sufficient number of Republicans can join them. Most who do so, from both parties, will place themselves at legal risk. We ask ACLU to pledge its assistance to this cross-party effort.

I am starting this petition because I think it has some chance of creating a climate for bipartisan discussion and a way for the situation in which the country finds itself to be resolved so that all are served.

Our intelligence agencies are certain that Russia interfered in our elections. They say there is STRONG evidence to suggest that - the goal was to hurt Clinton and help Trump win. The Russians want an end to economic sanctions and it appears that Trump will be much more sympathetic to them in this matter. This nefarious meddling in our elections represents an existential threat to the foundations of our democracy. Senators Schumer, Reed, Graham and McCain are calling for a comprehensive, bipartisan Senate investigation - they need other senators -particularly some additional Republicans - to join with them. This petition specifically calls on Senators Collins, Rand Paul, Flake and Sasse, as well as all the other Senators to support this crucial investigation.

Just one week before the Electoral College meets to formally elect our next president, a bipartisan group of electors sent a letter to the Director of National Intelligence James Clapper demanding an intelligence briefing related to Russia's impact on our elections in advance of their vote. CIA analysts have apparently concluded that Russia sought to influence the presidential election in favor of Donald Trump, and that Russia got the result it wanted. But the level of that involvement and what it means for our democracy is unclear because the CIA has not made the evidence public, briefed key members of Congress, nor fully updated members of the Electoral College who are being asked to determine the next president this coming Monday. The electors and the American public deserve to hear the facts. We cannot presume to know what impact Russia had, whether this should negate the election night results, or what it might mean for future elections until we review the evidence. And while it is unlikely to change the election outcome, Americans deserve the confidence in our electoral system that comes with clearly knowing the threats we faced and whether they had impact. The president has a responsibility, among his final duties in office, to give Americans the truth, and help us establish confidence in our democracy again. He can and must order the CIA to brief the electors and members of Congress in full before December 19, and declassify and disseminate the evidence for the public to consider as quickly as possible.

"Donald Trump received unprecedented support from a foreign power, has called for a religious test to enter the country, and will be in violation of the constitution on his first day in office because of payments he receives from foreign governments" - Diane Russell . He has refused to eliminate his egregious conflicts of interest and is clearly expecting to use the presidency to advance his business interests as well as to promote white supremacy and other fascist doctrines. His presidency will be an unmitigated catastrophe for this country and probably for the rest of the world.

The media tells us that it is the "consensus" of the CIA and other U.S. intelligence agencies that the Russians hacked our presidential election to help Donald Trump get elected. Yet so far no evidence has been made public to support such a shocking claim. With fairness of our electoral process being questioned and the risk of a military confrontation between the world's most powerful nuclear armed states, the public needs to know the facts.

With obvious proof of outside tampering in our election, we should not have to settle for the outcome of this tainted election. Period!

Our legislative bodies relentlessly investigated Hillary Clinton's emails, but appear content to ignore a report from their own intelligence agency that foreign influence on our elections is real and based in fact. This dismissal of allegations is simply unconscionable and utterly unpatriotic. It is quite possible that Donald Trump is simply not our legitimately elected President. We must not stand for this apathy from Congress.

Our concern is that the election of November 8th will not be recognized as legitimate by a majority of Americans. We believe there will be grave and permanent damage done to our democracy if the perceived illegitimate results of that election are allowed to stand. We the people love our nation too much for there to be a widespread and growing belief that our elected leaders allowed a miscarriage of justice to the most grievous degree.

As the people's party, we do not have time for blame or looking back: we must maintain a laser focus on looking forward to build uplifting, progressive, people-powered campaign capabilities as we look toward 2018 and 2020. The GOP’s lurid and grotesque use of big money can buy ads and marketing resources--but a TV ad can’t hug someone who’s suffering, a radio spot can’t come to the defense of someone being attacked because of race, gender, or sexual orientation; only genuine human connection can do this: Pete will help us do this--TOGETHER!

Many cities across the country and our own state have changed local laws and ordinances to allow for the raising of a small flock of hens. It is time for Kellogg, ID to join this movement. With proper education and a little research it is very easy to raise chickens in an urban setting without fear of noise, smell or disease. At the same time you can provide your family with a very healthy choice in home-grown eggs. Factory farming is failing us in many ways. This will give residents the right to provide a much more humane, and safe environment for backyard chickens. Let's join cities like Mullan, Coeur d'Alene, Hayden, Bonners Ferry, Moscow, Sandpoint, Preston, McCall , and many more to put food production into the hands of city residents.
