End the Electoral CollegeFor the second time in the last five elections, the person who won the popular vote did not win the presidency.

Make Election Day a Public Transit Fare HolidayIn Illinois, the Champaign-Urbana Mass Transit District is providing free bus rides to the polls on Election Day. [1] Other mass transit districts could do it too. We can't pay people to vote. But we can give all voters something for free, by way of compensation. We have a kind of poll tax now in some urban communities: long lines to vote. That costs people time, and therefore it costs them money; and it discourages them from voting in the future. [2] We should fix this! In the meantime, we could compensate people for their trouble. Sorry about the long line; we're working on that. In the meantime, here's your free ride. Free fares would be a friendly advertisement for voting across many people's day. You get to the subway or bus, and it's free. That would remind people that today is Election Day. A day of free fares on Election Day would be good publicity for mass transit. That's something we need to confront the challenge of climate change: more people using public transit instead of cars. Urge President Obama and Members of Congress to advocate for a public transit fare holiday on Election Day by signing our petition.

FBI Director Comey Must ResignOur country depends upon agencies like the FBI to enforce the law and keep our country safe. Picking sides in a presidential election is absolutely unacceptable, and undermines not only the judicial system, but the credibility of our democracy. Our law enforcement officers must never allow themselves to be used for partisan attacks. FBI Director James Comey broke faith with the American people when he did just that. Despite an utter lack of new evidence related to any wrongdoing, Comey released a letter to Congress reigniting partisan attacks against Hillary Clinton just days before the election. It was clear from the beginning that this letter could influence the outcome on November 8th, a fact which Comey must have known, making his decision to violate long-standing DOJ policy all the more unacceptable. On Sunday, two days before the election, Comey released a second letter revealing that no new evidence had emerged and therefore his conclusions were unchanged from July - essentially admitting that his first letter was baseless. Now it's time for him to write a third letter announcing his resignation. Like the FBI, the military is expected to stay neutral in democratic elections. Veterans like me know that to take sides on partisan issues while actively serving is not just a violation of our oaths, it is an abuse of power. James Comey cannot continue serving as FBI Director, and regardless of the outcome of the presidential election, his continued presence in the job will hurt the credibility of the FBI and its relationship with the next President. In this volatile political time, we cannot allow our law enforcement agencies to become partisan tools. Please join me in calling on Director Comey to step down now.

Robert Satiacum: Do your job as a Washington State elector and represent the will of the people o...I'm a Washington State resident who voted for Hillary Clinton. If Mr. Satiacum goes through with his plan of representing his own personal feelings on the election over properly doing the job of an electoral college member, I feel my vote - and the votes of other Clinton supporters - will not count.88 of 100 SignaturesCreated by ML Edinger

Rep. Jason Chaffetz Abuse of PowerWe, as US Taxpayers, are all affected by this issue. Rep. Chaffetz has wasted millions upon millions of taxpayers dollars on pointless hearings that produce no new information. He is using this committee to hurt his political opponents and further his own agenda. We must send a message to our government that we are tired of partisan politics and we want our government to do the job they were elected to do, which is to stop these political games and start working together to govern and solve this country's monumental issues before it is too late.21 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Wendy Crowell

Remove Hennepin County Sheriff Stanek: Malfeasance in Aiding Police at Standing RockSheriff Stanek has committed malfeasance in his duties as Sheriff of Hennepin Country, MN by sending deputies and vehicles in response to the dubious Emergency Assistance request from the North Dakota Governor and Sheriffs. These North Dakota Leaders falsified claims of an emergency. The participation of Hennepin County Sheriff Stanek violated his duties and committed Malfeasance as defined by MN statute 211C.01 by acting..."substantially outside the scope of the authority of the officer and that substantially infringes on the rights of any person or entity." This is an initial petition to get the Secretary of State and the Supreme Court of Minnesota to allow a formal petition.137 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Marque Jensen
