Demand Glens Falls City Police Enforce NY State Penal Law, disorderly ConductFailure to enforce this law is seen as encouraging the breaking of the law, empowering those who wish to silence protest, thus making the city and police department culpable in the event of injury or death resulting from aggressive action against those who peacefully assemble. Tell our city officials to enforce the law. Demand they make our gatherings safe for all citizens to attend. A city where parents can safely bring their children to rallies to witness the exercising of their First Amendment Rights, without fear of exposing them to violence or foul language .403 of 500 SignaturesCreated by AGATA STANFORD

Rally to demand witnesses at Impeachment Hearing in SenateA trial without witnesses or evidence allowed is not a trial - it's a cover-up. I keep hearing that the president is not above the law - but, then we see our elected officials allowing him to act like he is. A sitting president cannot be indicted? That's above the law. If you or I were accused of a crime, would we be allowed to control what evidence the prosecution can present? Why can he? The American people should be up in arms! Senators have taken an oath to be fair and impartial - but then voted to not allow witnesses. That's not fair and impartial. In a recent poll, over 70% of Americans want to hear from witnesses. We need to organize a rally to demonstrate that the American people will not stand for a sham and cover-up in the Senate impeachment trial. Let's take to the streets and demand a fair and impartial trial that includes witness and documents - and all Senators do their job and actually consider the evidence. Any Senators that will not do that should be recused. Senators Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham - take notice. They have already announced they would not be fair and impartial.11 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Dan Paiano

Open and Fair TrialOur Democracy is under threat by a lawless and dangerous president. Americans deserve to watch a trial in the Senate so that everyone in the country has the same set of facts on whether President Trump has undermined the Constitution. The Senator is responsible to us; not the president. We believe that you agree that the President is dangerous and unfit for office, but you might fail to act for political reasons rather than to act to preserve this great nation's Democracy. Your vote, your voice ways heavily on our future as Americans. Vote wisely. Vote with courage.33 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Pamela Reading-Smith

Long Hair in Texas School DistrictThe importance of a child's success is from their conduct and grades. Even if a child is struggling academically, the right to possess a natural part of their being should not be denied politically. The hatred and conformity of not just a school district, but insincere outlooks from employers and public offices should not prevent the acceptance of what should be an overall standard. Time and time again, the African American community has to change their cultural character just to be allowed dire resources. I want to speak not just for the African American community, but to every one as a whole. With the Islamic populace with their hijab, with caucasians with their long hair or mohawks, and etc., this should not be a problem or a distraction because of how we keep our cultural grounds. If their are beads or metal clips, and etc. that should be banned as a dress code violation, then I can understand that part of unacceptance. Things can be used for weapons, hazards to others and themselves for accident or purposeful negligence, then it shouldn't be allowed. But to condemn a student because of a natural expression is hurtful, irresponsible, judgmental, and inconsiderate for what kind of person you are putting under the scope. The policy should change because it would bring us closer together as different cultures being together under one roof. I will not stand for the outright disrespect. I will not stand for the undermining and non-consideration of others rightful possession. Change this policy or this will come to a bigger gap within our great American civility.292 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Dominique Rose

Remove press restrictions for President Trump’s impeachment trialMitch McConnell and Senate Rules Committee Chair Roy Blunt have instituted unprecedented press restrictions in order to prevent the public from having full access to Trump's Senate impeachment trial -- including limits on what the public can see and on reporters' ability to talk to Senators. Without the free press, we can’t fight against abusive governmental policies or defend our basic freedoms. The Trump administration has been attacking the free press for years. Now that Trump has a chance of getting held accountable for his abuses of power, the Senate is allowing him to hide details from the public.79,570 of 100,000 SignaturesCreated by Demand Progress

Defend our Constitution!It is not hyperbole to say that our country is at a crossroads and the very health of our Republic is at stake. It is undeniable that President Trump has abused the power of his office by seeking the interference of a foreign government in our elections and that he refused to provide Congress with documents and witnesses who would have provided important information regarding the impeachment investigation. By requesting assistance from a foreign leader, Trump violated the law established by the FEC Act. By refusing to provide witnesses and documents, he was in Contempt of Congress. Both acts are crimes. Both acts are impeachable offenses. Both acts require witnesses, testimony, and further discovery to determine in an impartial manner if the President should be removed from office. We, the American people, including the constituents in your respective states deserve to have fair and impartial representation in the Senate, especially at this moment. If you do not stand in defense of the Constitution at this moment, and this trial is the circus that the Republican leadership is promising, it will be the beginning of the end of our Republic as we know it. The Congress will forever lose its ability to check the power of the Executive Branch. This is not about this President, this is about the pillar of our country which requires separate powers that balance each other. You have each shown the independence, thoughtfulness, and leadership to show the country and the world that the idea that is America still breathes powerfully through our Constitution. Thank you.164 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Hogan Sherrow

Bloomberg and Steyer: Pay the fines of Florida's formerly incarcerated citizens so they can vote.It's not hyperbole to say that he future of the planet depends on free and fair elections in Florida. A rigged election in Florida determined a previous election, and could well determine the next one. If oil companies buy another four years in the White House, then the climate catastrophe will become much worse. It's coming down to people vs the oil companies, and we need free and fair elections to win. Re-enfranchising voting rights of Florida returning citizens would make the 2020 election more free and fair. In this one single act you could do a mountain of good for future generations.1,754 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Joe Lamb
