Please Hillary: Give A Peace Speech at AIPACI am a Hillary supporter who is troubled by perception that she is a neoconservative. I write this because I support her but fear that hawkish speech at AIPAC will hurt her badly not only with Sander supporters but the base in general. America must be an honest broker for peace, not either side.12 of 100 SignaturesCreated by MJ Rosenberg

Senator Flake: Do Your Job and Allow a Nomination!It is the president's constitutional authority to nominate justices to the Supreme Court. And it is the Senate's constitutional role to "advise and consent." Nowhere in the Constitution is the Senate asked to play partisan games of endless, senseless obstructionism. Outrageously, just hours after the news of Justice Antonin Scalia's death, Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced that President Obama should not have the opportunity to appoint a justice to the high court. Leaving the seat vacant would create uncertainty, cause real harm to countless Americans, and abdicate the Senate's job under our Constitution to give fair consideration to Supreme Court nominees. The Senate must heed its constitutional responsibility to advise and consent to a highly qualified Supreme Court nominee. That's why we're asking Arizona Senator Jeff Flake to do his duty as a member of the U.S. Senate and allow the President to nominate a replacement for Justice Scalia.317 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Julie Jennings Patterson

Senator Susan Collins - reject Trump's campaign and likely candidacy!I can no longer remain silent about the escalation of hate speech, racism, and incitement of violence from the Trump campaign. Leadership from a senior Republican senator is needed to call out this dangerous behavior anathema to American values.36 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Joanne Rosenthal

Expedite the Trump University court caseWe need to vet our presidential nominees. The Trump University trial is supposed to last well into the next president's first term. We can't have a president who is guilty of fraud, and we can't wait until he's in office to find out.27,272 of 30,000 SignaturesCreated by Shawn Hawkins

Tell Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi to Endorse Senator Bernie SandersThe voice of the people have been speaking and it's time democratic leaders listen. Bernie has excited and united liberal grassroots organizations all across America, creating a political revolution that is truly amazing. Ignoring this tremendous voice would be detrimental to the future of the Democratic Party. The leaders need to acknowledge the days of FDR, Harry Truman, JFK, and LBJ who honored the party by standing by democratic solicialist values that brought prosperity and stability to the American people and economy. It is time for the Democratic Party to seriously consider Senator Bernie Sanders as the nominee, and as the next President of the United States of America. Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, do your civic duty and endorse Senator Bernie Sanders for President.26 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Beau Busdicker

Fix Democracy in New HampshireThe people of New Hampshire care about where politicians are getting their money. I believe our government should be independent of corporate interest. In order to have our Representatives truly represent the New Hampshire people, they cannot be taking money from fossil fuel companies.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jordan Falvey

VETO Alimony Reform Again, Governor Scott!Parents like mine agreed decades ago that one parent would work outside the home for an income while the other would work inside the home raising children. A circumstance like a divorce should not erase the loss of earning potential and professional experience that the stay-at-home parent has endured for such a mutual arrangement. When divorce happens (in my family's case, 19+ years into marriage), alimony laws should not empower alimony payors with the generic, destructive ability to retroactively (or even currently) claim that all of the earned income belongs to one of the parents and the other parent has to return to the workplace or vocational school at the age of a retiree. Governor Scott has the power to veto this bill and emphasize to our legislators that we are not a society that burdens aging, divorced parents with lost alimony as a result of a flawed Alimony Reform Bill. We must demand that for both our elders and children.912 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by Lisa

Congress: Mandate Transparency in the Drone Strike ProgramThe Obama Administration has announced that it will make the drone strike ("targeted killing") program more transparent, including by publishing an annual report on casualties from U.S. drone strikes. Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), ranking member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, praised the announcement and said Congress should pass legislation to make sure the policy lasts beyond the Obama administration. "A public, annual report on the number of combatants and noncombatants killed will provide an important measure of transparency regarding targeted, lethal strikes," Schiff said. "Despite our best efforts to ensure to a near-certainty that no civilians will be killed or injured, sometimes strikes do result in civilian casualties - and it is important that we acknowledge those accidents and learn from them." [1] The ACLU has also called for reforms to be enacted before the next President takes office: "as this election season has underscored, powers this far-reaching should not rest solely on the character of the president and his advisers. In a democracy, the ability to use lethal force must be subject to clear and narrow limits, and the public must be able to evaluate whether those limits are being respected." [2] Urge Congress to enact the President's promised transparency reforms of the drone strike program into law by signing our petition.
