I truly believe that the right and duty to nominate a Supreme Court justice belongs to the person who is president at the time the vacancy occurs, and that the Senate's reprehensible tactic to steal this right from President Obama cannot be allowed to succeed.

If the DNC wants my scarce and dwindling discretionary dollars, it had better give me a GOOD, PROGRESSIVE REASON. We have had more than enough stale thinking, lame planning, and manipulation by party leaders. NO MORE "superdelegates," elitist, power-mad leaders, and insipid, uninspiring rhetoric. Change or disappear.

The Civil Rights Act outlaws discrimination against nonwhite individuals. White nationalism espouses the ideology of the inferiority of nonwhites, which is reprehensible. Having a white nationalist in Trump's inner circle is a frightening signal that he may act on his racist campaign rhetoric and possibly work to move American democracy toward autocracy.

Clearly the Republican majority in the Senate has withheld action on President Obama's nomination purely on political grounds, not because of any substantive objection to the nominee. The President should exert his authority to appoint on the basis that the Senate has neglected its constitutionally mandated responsibility.

The country has gone to hell in a hand basket. We need drastic change as soon as possible. Due to gerrymandered districts, it's impossible for typical Democratic candidates, even very good ones, to get a majority in the House. Tom Hanks could lead a group of 25 popular entertainers in moving to Republican districts, winning seats there, and regaining control. This would bring the Republican-led destruction of the county and the planet to a screeching halt. Hopefully Bruce Springsteen, Matt Damon, and Leonardo DiCaprio will join him right away, with many others soon following. The American people love celebrities. Republican districts in the flyover states could be easily won by the right celebrity, and Tom's credibility with the heartland makes him the perfect artist to lead this effort.

The country has gone to hell in a hand basket. All three branches of government will now be controlled by the party that does not recognize the corrupting influence of money in politics, that suppresses the right of citizens to vote, and that denies the reality of human induced climate change. We need a correction as soon as possible. Due to gerrymandered districts, it's impossible for typical progressive candidates, even very good ones, to get a majority in the House. Bruce Springsteen could lead a group of 25 popular entertainers in moving to conservative districts, winning seats there, and creating real hope for democracy reform. This would bring the Republican-led destruction of the country and the planet to a screeching halt. Hopefully Tom Hanks, Matt Damon, and Leonardo DiCaprio will join him right away, with many others soon following. The American people love celebrities. Republican districts in the flyover states could be easily won by the right celebrity, and Bruce's credibility with blue collar America makes him the perfect artist to lead this effort.

This is a clear, present and ongoing threat to Democracy and to the election process. As the elected representative of all the people who voted in this election, it is your responsibility to make sure their votes were counted accurately and honestly.

The day to day lives of millions of Americans will be targeted.Many seniors and projected new retirees will be threatened. Their quality of living and health care will be targeted. These same individuals paid into this system for 40 years or more. Social Security is not Broke, stop telling the public it is.

Our country has just elected a candidate whose behavior on the campaign trail was an affront to democracy. This is not about political issues. A law can be crafted that does not limit free speech but does clearly define actions that must never be allowed. Donald Trump encouraged his supporters to attack peaceful protestors, he made statements that amounted to sponsoring violence (e.g "Seriously, okay, just knock the hell. I promise you, I will pay for the legal fees; I promise, I promise."). His actions went beyond revoking credentials of journalists from news organizations that he felt provided unfair coverage, singled out one journalist at several rallies drawing jeers from the crowd of thousands.

The FBI had no business getting involved in the election in such an obviously partisan way. The consequences of this election are going to affect all Americans. The winning party is no longer even hiding their desire to suppress the rights of average Americans. We need to make sure that the FBI will be on the side of the American People.

We propose that the constitutional transfer of presidential power to Trump does not take place until the following occurs: - The president elect's ownership and any future involvement in the Trump organization creates a conflict of interest with the office of the presidency. Trump plans to put his children in control of his corporation, this does not eliminate conflicts of interest. A blind trust would not be sufficient to reconcile this issue as Trump's memory can not be deleted. The legal entanglements of the Trump organization must be investigated and resolved. This is a conflict of interest by law in which he would not be able to objectively run the country in a way that would benefit and protect its citizens without personal interests and financial gains impeding. -Until all criminal charges of fraud regarding Trump University are cleared. -Until all criminal charges of rape, criminal sexual acts, sexual abuse, forcible touching, assault, battery, and other charges are cleared (hearing December 16 in NY. Case number 1:16-cv-07674-RA) -Until ties with a known hate organization (KKK) are severed -Until he condemns all hate crimes committed in his name. Trump's silence and lack of response to the surge in hate crimes since his election is the same as condoning them. He is not fit to defend ALL citizens in the US or to protect our rights under the constitution.
