This is an emergency. Our parties have put forth candidates that are both unacceptable to a simple majority of the people. Civil war may break out! There are life threatening issues at stake, like civil war, world war, and of course climate change and the 6th great extinction. We call on the entire electoral college to come together to select a new candidate for President - that is acceptable to the majority of the electors, and to be ratified by a majority of the people. This should be an open internet process.

Democrats need a widely-known, well-liked, well-respected, down-to-Earth figure to counterbalance Donald Trump and the GOP legislative majority for the next four years. Joe represents progressive values. He resonates with working class voters. He's worked across the aisle when it's good for our country. He'all nurture the next generation of Democratic leaders. Let's draft Joe Biden for DNC Chair.

We as Hoosiers need a native plant as our state flower; we have the Tulip Tree as our state tree, a native bird, the Cardinal, as our state bird. Why do we have a plant that is not even native to Indiana as our state flower???

A popular story has been told over and over about Christian the Tenth, King of Denmark during World War II. It is said that during the dark days of German occupation, the Danish officials were asked to identify the country’s Jews by distributing the customary yellow star worn across Germany, Poland and Central Europe. King Christian received the order, and subsequently ordered that ALL Danes should wear the yellow star, making it impossible for the Germans to distinguish Jew from Christian. While historians aren’t sure if this actually took place, this example of extraordinary defiance against racism and oppression has been told over and over as a way to highlight the best of what humanity will do to oppose the worst of what humanity is capable of. As Americans, we find ourselves in a similar historic situation to the Danes during World War II. We are being asked to stand by and allow a group to be singled out, registered, tracked and violently and systematically oppressed. There is literally nothing in the world more Un-American and chillingly authoritarian about what Donald Trump is proposing to do. The world is watching us, and history will judge by what we do next. For Japanese Americans, registries were the gateway to concentration camps. Trump advisors are citing Japanese internment as a precedent for the Muslim Registry. This is an injustice that we must never let happen again. People of all faiths and backgrounds must stand with our Muslim and Arab brothers and sisters as they become the targets of racist vigilante violence, attacks by leaders of hate groups, and the racist policies Trump champions. If we allow our Muslim family to be denied their basic Constitutional and human rights then none of us are truly free. If enough people of all faiths sign this petition it can stop a registry from ever being created because it will be clear that the people of this country will never again allow any group to be singled out and their rights and freedoms denied because of hatred and bigotry.

We have had enough waste of millions of tax dollars. More importantly, our values have been compromised by threats to a political opponent during an election season.

The Senate has scandalously refused to vote on a Supreme Court appointment because they wanted a Republican president to do so. When some senators thought Hillary Clinton would win, they start talking about refusing to consider her appointments as well. By failing to act, they have failed to fulfill their obligations and this should not prevent the President from fulfilling his obligation to appoint a new justice to fully staff the court.

Robert Reich and other thoughtful leaders have called for the resignation of the out-of-touch DNC hierarchy. Bernie Sanders has endorsed Congressman Ellison to replace Interim Chairwoman Donna Brazile.

Hillary has spent her entire career fighting to ensure that every American is given the equality and opportunity promised to them. She would make an excellent Justice and the American people deserve this.

She has shown a clear bias for furthering her own agenda, putting the American public at large in risk of the horrendous ramifications of her actions.

The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC) is an agreement among several U.S. states and the District of Columbia to award all their respective electoral votes to whichever presidential candidate wins the overall popular vote in the 50 states and the District of Columbia. The compact is designed to ensure that the candidate who wins the most popular votes is elected president, and it will come into effect only when it will guarantee that outcome. As of 2016, it has been adopted by ten states and the District of Columbia, whose 165 combined electoral votes represent 61.1% of the 270 votes needed for it to have legal force.

As the Democratic National Committee has been responsible for organizing the campaigns of Democratic politicians seeking public office to advance the interests of the people and members of the Democratic Party, and as the DNC has utterly and completely failed in this responsibility such that Republicans now control; 1) The Presidency, 2) Both Houses of Congress, 3) At least 33 of 50 State Governorships, 4) 69 of 99 State Legislatures, and 5) are now empowered to fill the vacant seat on the Supreme Court after historic obstructionism of a sitting President. Due to these myriad failures it has become clear to the members of the Democratic Party that our leadership is either unable or unwilling to effectively carry out their responsibility in advancing our Party Platform, and has therefore failed in its obligation to Democrats and Progressives nationwide. We are therefore resolved and obliged as Progressives, and as members of the Democratic Party to have those responsible for this pattern of consistent defeat and failure removed from their positions immediately. We are further resolved to see Keith Ellison elected as National Chair of the DNC, as well as any other officials who are both representative of and committed to the strong progressive principles, the elimination of the corrupting influence of money in politics, and strengthening the ideals espoused by the 2016 Democratic Party Platform.

Because we need Hillary Clinton's voice speaking up for the America we love.
