Wisconsin is "systematically denying" citizens the ID they need To voteWisconsin’s discriminatory voter ID law has already caused chaos at polling places during the primary election with confusing and restrictive requirements. Now, in violation of a mandated court order, the state is "systematically denying" registered voters the specific documentation they’ll need to vote. The result? Thousands of Wisconsin voters - mostly Black and low income - will be disenfranchised due to needless barriers on the right to vote. In August, a federal judge ruled that “Wisconsin may adopt a strict voter ID system only if that system has a well-functioning safety net,” ordering the state to provide valid ID promptly and free of charge to any eligible voter who requested one. We’ve already seen other states, like Alabama, put up obstacles for voters trying to comply with voter ID requirements. Now, a new report in The Nation magazine reveals how Wisconsin is making eligible voters jump through needless and costly hoops to get the ID they’ll need to vote. Voter ID laws are already controversial for their disproportionate impact on poor voters and voters of color. Now, it’ll be even harder for the nine percent of registered Wisconsin voters without required ID to get the documentation they’ll need to vote this November. Voting is our greatest right and responsibility, and every American deserves to make their voice heard at the polls. If Wisconsin can’t make sure that every eligible voter has an ID, then they have no business requiring it to vote.617 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Allegra Chapman

The Vern Ably Act: Vietnam Veteran's Agent Orange Reparations ActAs a Widow of a Vietnam Veteran exposed to Agent Orange/Rainbow Herbicides who died of Esophageal Cancer, which I believe was caused by war time exposure to Agent Orange/Rainbow Herbicides, I can confirm that Vietnam Veterans and their survivors are still suffering the latent and delayed effects of Agent Orange (Rainbow Herbicides and components of Rainbow Herbicides). While other Veterans with similar maladies (like those at Camp Lejeune) suffer maladies and are covered by the VA, Veterans exposed to Agent Orange still fight for the same benefits, even though Rainbow Herbicides are made from" benzene" which is the same toxin found in the water at Camp Lejeune. We believe that the data identifying this and other maladies is being kept from public access in order to keep maladies like Esophageal Cancer off the presumptive list. This act is meant to fully address and provide reparation for the travesties these veterans and their families have perpetually suffered when the Admiral Zumwalt Report, the only "Time Relevant, HUMAN study (on exposed veterans)", that was ever performed, became a classified document kept from the public and from use in determining AO claims, thereby resulting in proliferated injuries by the Veterans and their families.138 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Mrs. Vernon Ably

Treasurer Chiang: Start a Public Bank in California!John Chiang, California's state treasurer, just suspended all state business and contracts with Wells Fargo after details of the bank scamming millions of dollars out of customers came to light. If California charters its own public bank, it could not only permanently avoid the risk of doing business with shady private banks like Wells Fargo, but it could avoid losing billions in bank fees and interest every year by storing public dollars in a public bank that exists solely for the purpose of investing in public infrastructure, small businesses, pensions for public workers, public K-12 and higher education, and other dire public needs. North Dakota has successfully managed its state finances with a public bank for over a century. It's time for California to do the same.18 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Public Banking Institute

Respecting the right to life, due process and propertyI am a disabled corrections officer asking all officers to enforce the law by protecting and preserving the right to life, due process and property. I am witnessing police officers use of shoot to kill, violating citizens rights to life, denying access to due process and property and am called to take this action.These avoidable deaths seem levied disproportionately on Black America, and in my experiences within and outside of the structures of public safety, are unacceptable so I am obligated as an American and former officer subjected to permanent injury in the line of duty who supports only non lethal uses of force to be practiced uniformly in the compliance of the law. I demand all officers hold themselves and their partners to the highest standard of law enforcement as a matter of justice and moral conduct that be consistently followed as a matter of national professional policing protocol that will save lives of citizens, officers and rebuild the public trust.68 of 100 SignaturesCreated by joanne cipolla-dennis

Rescind Trump NominationWhile I respect that the National Fraternity of Police Officers, the largest union of peace officers in the United States, believes an endorsement of Trump's Presidency is a move to protect the interests and safety of our nation's peace officers, openly endorsing a candidate that espouses divisive language is a poor choice for maintaining good relationships between the troubled departments and their communities of color. Instead, such a decision will cause even greater proof of division between the African-American and Latino communities and the men and women who are to protect and serve those communities. The purposeful lack of neutrality on the part of NFOP in this heated political climate reflects poorly upon our peace keepers; to remedy this, I ask the NFOP to rescind their nomination of Donald Trump as a show of good faith to the people they protect and serve. To do so would truly be making America great again.70 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kristin Keenan

Tell GOP leaders: A nuclear-armed Trump is a threat to national securityDuring the first debate, Donald Trump reminded us yet again why he is unfit to be President and can never be allowed to command our nuclear arsenal. He was quick to lose his temper. He was easily baited by the moderator and by his opponent. And he was all over the place about nuclear weapons. In one breath he said nuclear weapons are the greatest threat we face as a nation. In the next he said he wouldn't take a surprise nuclear attack off the table--which could kill hundreds of millions of people. This is the latest in a long, scary history of nuclear posturing from Donald Trump. He thinks more countries should have them (like Saudi Arabia, South Korea, and Japan). He won’t rule out dropping them on Europe. And just last month, Joe Scarborough of MSNBC reported that Trump asked 3 times in a 1-hour foreign policy briefing, "If we've got nukes, why can't we use them?" The first debate showed that a nuclear-armed Trump is a threat to national security. Our nuclear program has no checks or balances. If elected, there's nothing between President Trump's itchy trigger finger and civilization-ending weaponry. There is no requirement even for him to explain his decision to use them. It is a dereliction of public service for Republican leaders to put a demagogue in command of our nuclear arsenal. The right thing to do is to disavow Trump, and do it now.400 of 500 SignaturesCreated by #NoRedButton Campaign

Mitch McConnell is risking a government shutdown to keep wealthy donors secretCongress has just a few days to pass a continuing resolution (CR) to fund our government -- but a handful of senators led by Majority Leader Mitch McConnell are holding up negotiations, all so they can keep corporate political spending in the dark. Everyone has a right to know who is spending money on our elections -- but McConnell and his allies are threatening a government shutdown unless they can insert an provision into the CR that will ban the Securities and Exchange Commission from writing rules that require corporations to disclose their political spending. That’s right -- they’re so opposed to basic transparency that they’re willing to risk a costly and disruptive government shutdown to prevent it. Voters deserve to know who is trying to influence our votes and our elected officials, but McConnell’s anti-disclosure rider would make it even easier for wealthy special interests to hide their identities. If anything, Congress should be using this continuing resolution to provide emergency disaster relief to communities in need. But instead, McConnell and his allies are exploiting this crisis to pass unrelated ideological riders that voters would never agree to -- which heightens cynicism and undermines trust in our political process. We can’t let them get away with this last-ditch attempt to deny voters our right to know who is spending on our elections -- and we must speak out now. Tell your lawmakers to remove this anti-transparency rider and fund our government without ideological carve-outs.39 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Common Cause

Speaker Ryan: Withdraw Trump Endorsement or Face Re-CallBy endorsing Trump, Mr. Ryan subscribes to support illegal, Anti-Constitutional acts, if Trump is elected as the President. Several times Speaker Ryan tried to downplay Trump’s endorsement, distancing himself from obvious Anti-Constitutional rhetoric, yet did not withdraw his endorsement. His rational is: I am endorsing Trump, but do not support Trump’s policy. Who do you kidding Mr. Ryan? Endorsement = Support, and declaration of willingness to violate the Constitution. There is no place in US House of Representative for the Speaker who publicly supports violations of the Constitution. We, undersigned, respectfully ask you to withdraw Trump’s endorsement and publicly reconfirm your commitment to support and protect the Constitution of the United States. Failure to do so will leave us no choice as to initiate recall procedure in your Congressional District. As you know, Wisconsin is only one of two US states with Constitution and procedure in-place allowing Recalls of the Federal Elected Officials. Even if such recall may be overruled by the Federal Court, we will expect your resignation as a Congressman, if requirements of the recall petition will be met.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Nu Vision Group

This will Stop Trump before the ElectionMillions of Americans who follows 2016 Presidential Election are wondering: What is wrong with this strange Presidential Candidate? Why he is behaving so abnormal and doing things, other people consider unthinkable? Many reputable mental health professionals believe that Mr. Trump behaves abnormally because he is mentally ill. Among them: Ben Michaelis, PhD, Clinical Psychologist George K. Simon, Jr., PhD, Clinical Psychologist, expert on Manipulative Behavior Howard Gardner, Developmental Psychologist, Professor, Harvard University Joseph Burgo, PhD, Psychotherapist, and author of the book "Narcissist You Know” Many other Psychologists and Psychiatrists publicly expressed their opinions about Mr. Trump’s mental health. There are several examples of such opinions. Ben Michaelis, PhD, Clinical Psychologist verdict on Mr. Trump mental health: "Text Book Narcissistic Personality Disorder. (NPD) In the field we use clusters of Personality Disorders, Narcissism is in cluster B, which means it has similarities with Histrionic Personality Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, and Antisocial Personality Disorder. There are similarities between them. ....... Narcissism is an extreme defense against one’s own feelings of worthlessness. To degrade people is really part of a cluster-B Personality Disorder: it’s antisocial and shows a lack of remorse for other people. The way to make it O.K. to attack someone verbally, psychologically, or physically is to lower them. That’s what he’s (Tramp) doing.” Joseph Burgo, PhD, Psychotherapist explains: “Narcissists like Donald Trump…… are constantly driven to prove themselves among the “winners” of the world often by triumphing over or denigrating other people as comparative “losers”. If you examine Trump’s language in his public statements as well as in the debates, you will hear him proclaiming his winner status again and again while sneering at his detractors as losers” George K. Simon, Jr., PhD, Clinical Psychologist, Expert on Manipulative Behavior: "He’s so classic that I’m archiving video clips of him (Trump) to use in workshops because there’s no better example of his characteristics” Howard Gardner, Developmental Psychologist, professor, Harvard University verdict: “Remarkably Narcissistic" Many other psychologists and psychiatrists agree with such conclusions, yet warning that only in-person evaluation of Mr. Trump by panel of mental health experts will provide impartial and conclusive diagnose. For many people Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) may sounds like something minor, not important, perhaps, because of the disorder name association with beautiful Narcissus flower. But in reality, it is very serious, ugly mental illness. Some people call it "Illness of the Dictators". The list of historic political leaders with NPD and Cluster-B Personality Disorders may boil your blood, because of their crimes against humanity. This is a short list of political leaders with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) from Wikipedia: Pol Pot (Cambodia), Saddam Hussein(Iraq), Kim Il Sung (N. Korea), Mao Tse-Tung (China), Joseph Stalin (USSR), Ayatollah Khomeini (Iran), Hermann Göring (Germany, Luftwaffe), Heinrich Himmler (Germany, Reichsführer-SS), Adolf Hitler (Germany), Benito Mussolini (Italy), Napoleon Bonaparte (France), Nero and Caligula ( Rome, Emperors). Many of them came to the Power “democratically”, using unrestrained lies, unchallenged political rhetoric, manipulative skills, and ignorance of the electorate. There are many more less known Narcissistic Psychopaths in the world. They are dreaming one day become #1. Office of the President of the United States is Ultimate Prize for such people! We may have different views on Mr. Trump’s policy, rhetoric, behavior, or have different political affiliation, but, as American Citizens, we can’t afford to ignore warnings from reputable, highly qualified professionals, and go to the polls without an official evaluation of Mr. Trump’s mental health. We should recognize the danger and act accordingly. Petition text to be delivered to the US Federal District Court, California. We the Citizens of the United States of America, empowered by the Constitution of the United States to elect President of the United States, deeply concerned that GOP Presidential nominee Mr. Trump may be mentally ill, and may not be able to execute Office of President of the United States, and preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. As the Commander-in-Chief of the most powerful armed forces with excess to the nuclear launch code, Mr. Trump, presumably insane person, if elected, may be existential treat not only to our country, but all humanity. Several prominent mental health professionals publicly expressed their opinions about Mr. Trump’s mental health, and quite confident that Mr. Trump is mentally ill. As voters, however, we can not rely on remote evaluation of Mr. Trump’s mental health, nor allow presumably insane person to be elected as the President of the United States. We need official Trump’s mental health evaluation by panel of reputable mental health professionals appointed by court. In order to prevent possible disaster, and make intelligent decision how to vote in upcoming election, we, undersigned, respectfully asking the US Federal District Court to order impartial Mr. Trump’s mental health evaluation, and present results of such evaluation to the voters before 2016 general election.8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Nu Vision Group
