In the wake of this election we have seen an increase in acts of discrimination, hate, and violence, especially in our schools. At a time like this it is more important than ever for our country to come together and denounce hatred. Donald Trump, now is the time for you to set the tone of your presidency, earn respect of all parties, and bring Americans together. As we know, a country divided will almost certainly fail. What do you want your legacy to be?

A DONALD TRUMP GOVERNMENT CAN AND SHOULD BE PREVENTED AND IT COULD BE DONE LEGALLY. It’s a very long shot but under the dire circumstances it should at least be tried. Here’s why: It is now clear to everyone except Trump that he will not be able to get the nightmare cabinet he is in the processes of putting together approved by the Senate when he be comes president on January 20th or for months and months afterward because the Republicans in the Senate, even if they are all united in favor, will not have the votes to break a Democrat filibuster. The United States will not have a functional government. This would be a revolution through chaos. Here’s how: Although no elector is required by federal law to honor their pledge, there have been very few occasions when an elector voted contrary to a pledge. Meaning it has happened. Meaning it can happen. Meaning that it is constitutional. Meaning that it is legal. Meaning that at least in theory it can be done. The Electorial College votes on the Monday after the second Wednesday in December and votes separately for President and Vice President. That is the deadline for convincing enough electors to save the United States from disaster by voting for Hillary Clinton and not Donald Trump. The political argument: Hillary Clinton won the popular vote not Trump. Almost anyone who did not vote for Trump including perhaps millions who didn’t vote because they couldn’t bear voting for Clinton is now disgusted, outraged, and terrified at the outcome, as well they should be. What this means is that a Trump government will not be recognized as legitimate by a quite clear majority of the American people. Nor will it be able to function. This would be an impossible situation. It could not last. The result would have to be some kind of revolution, political, legal, or violent, impossible to predict. What to do: Spread this proposal far and wide. Viralize it. And quickly. The deadline is in December. Just a shot away.

We the People must object to the unprecedented Senate blockage of President Obama's nominee for appointment to the Supreme Court from being given a hearing. President Obama must use his power to appoint Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court during the Congressional recess. Petition him to act without hesitation!!

Inaccuracy of public information is a misrepresentation of useful crime data, essential to identify and remedy our county's most pressing socio-economic challenges. It is imperative that our leaders have access to precise statistical data reflective of our county's multicultural diversity in order to make the best decisions that impact our society and community. We respectfully demand that an ethnicity column be included within county crime statistics and police affidavits.

Maine just became the first state in the nation to change to ranked-choice voting. This could fix our entire system, especially if it is also used in deciding party nominees. It allows people to vote for 3rd party candidates more safely, without fear of wasting their vote. It is associated with more civil elections. We ask that ranked-choice voting be implemented in all state and federal elections.

American voters have been disenfranchised due to the lack of qualifications required for presidential candidates. Had a minimum qualification requirement been enforced for the 2016 presidential election, a great many of the RNC and DNC candidates would have been disqualified. This would have opened up an opportunity for more qualified candidates, without the harmful effects of personal or professional litigation overshadowing the serious issues of this nation. When minimum qualifications are not met, the policy issues facing our country cannot be discussed on a proactive level, and it hurts our democracy.

This is a historic moment where the American people are called to step up against hate. Banish Bannon!

With less than 54% of the eligible population voting, not enough people are participating the process. Nothing is ever 100%, but 46% not voting is simply unacceptable. Please sign and share with as many as you can!

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.
