Don't give the Trumps of New Jersey a YUGE tax cut!Gov. Chris Christie wants to give the Ivanka Trumps of New Jersey a tax cut. He's pushing hard to repeal New Jersey's estate tax, and says eliminating taxes on inherited wealth is "tax fairness." The worst part? Some Democrats are listening, and have moved a bill forward in the State Senate. The truth is that repealing New Jersey's estate tax would only benefit the very wealthy and their heirs, and working families would pay the price. We've been down this road before in New Jersey. When millionaires got a tax cut in 2010, we ended up paying for it with billions in cuts to schools, property tax relief, public safety, and other services on which we all rely. Eliminating the estate tax would only benefit the rich, while forcing the rest of us to pick up the tab. Christie's brand of trickle-down economics has failed New Jersey, and our legislators know it. They should reject Christie's call for any further tax cuts for the super-rich.129 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Analilia Mejia, Working Families

Dear Gov. BrownbackPlease do something about how you are running our state into the ground with our higher taxes, taking away from the schools, putting a hold on the teacher's retirement package, all because your programs have failed. I can hardly wait for November and to mark all the democrats as the winners. Even the newspapers (Lawrence Journal World) is commenting on how the Republicans are disgusted by your mess you've created. Thanks, and have a good day!59 of 100 SignaturesCreated by margaret Fowler

Voter SuppressionThousands of voices were silenced in the Arizona & New York elections and now Rhode Island has announced 66% of polls will be closed. We the people demand to have our right to vote restored. We call on the POTUS to intervene and establish a bi-partisan commission of registered citizen auditors to oversee the rest of the primary election. We call for a re-vote in the states of Arizona and New York, where tens of thousands of voters went to the polls to find we were no longer registered to a political party. We demand support from our elected officials. The future of both parties depends on it.186 of 200 SignaturesCreated by David Almond

MSNBC: Start Reporting on Election FraudWith the recent disaster in N.Y. and the ongoing lawsuits and investigations in other states, we demand that you start talking about what has been happening. Everything Trump says is a scandal, but thousands of people are being denied the right to vote and you remain silent. Rhode Island just announced they will only have 1/3 of their polling places open. That is blatant voter suppression. Start reporting on all issues involving election fraud, voter suppression, and in general the poor organization and execution of election days in the US, or we will organize a mass protest outside your headquarters, and we will make sure that story will be covered.1,476 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Lauren Nicoletto

Haiti Election VerificationAs Haitian Americans, we are directly impacted by Haitian elections. We are the catalyst for change in Haiti. We send over 4 billion dollars in money transfer and are taxed $1.50 for each transaction. The international donors such as the United States are pulling strings to allow an injustice to the Haitian population. It is our right to vote on our leaders.50 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ashley Desvarieux

End the Washington Democratic CaucusMany working people and families, particularly women and people of color, become disenfranchised when we use a system that requires voters to be privileged enough to spend an entire weekend day just for their voice to be heard. It’s time for change and action, not baby steps and political pragmatism. It’s going to take a political revolution to change it, and it starts with all of us.682 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Andrew Saturn

Governor Shumlin: bring automatic voter registration to Vermont!Last week, the Vermont State Senate passed automatic voter registration with nearly unanimous support. This legislation would make Vermont fourth in the nation to enact such a law. Governor Shumlin needs to hear that you support automatic voter registration, and he should sign it into law. Automatic voter registration, H. 458, could add up to 50,000 voters to the rolls in the next four years. It would strengthen security of our voter database, increase accuracy, save taxpayer dollars, and protect the fundamental right of every eligible citizen to participate in our democracy. It works by allowing the DMV to use information they already collect – age, address and citizenship – to determine if a person is eligible to vote. If eligible, the citizen is added to the voter rolls unless they decline to be registered. Automatic voter registration is already seeing incredible success in Oregon, quadrupling registrations since it was enacted four months ago. We believe that our democracy works best when more people participate, and it's time for Vermont to join the wave of automatic voter registration.759 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Common Cause

Stop Closed Primary in PAI believe in democracy in its purest sense. I am registered as an Independent and should be allowed to vote in the Primary. I should not be required to change my registration just to be given my right to vote; it is un-American!79 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Julia Kovach

NY Board of Elections: Conduct Full Statewide Audit of Voter PurgesThe right to vote should be seen as a sacred right for all citizens. However, the New York State Board of Elections has purged over 60,000 voters from the rolls in Kings County — the most populous county, which houses Brooklyn — between October and April, just before the New York primary. A voter can be moved from active to inactive status if they have not voted in two consecutive federal elections (or four years). However, only 10,000 voters have been added to the "inactive" list, meaning that over 50,000 voters are unaccounted for. Kings County is one of only seven counties, out of a total of sixty-two, that reported a drop in Democratic voters. As of April 19, no official explanation has been given for why these voters were removed from the rolls. We demand a full, statewide audit of all voter purges across New York. We further demand that the unedited results of the audit be published online for public view.97,376 of 100,000 SignaturesCreated by Sam Abernathy
