I petition to hold the President- elect responsible for denouncing hateI petition to insist that the President-elect of the Unites States of America publicly distance himself from hate-driven behaviors, notably so among his supporters. The hate-motivated behaviors have invaded our neighborhoods, colleges, and streets. We all have been affected, directly or indirectly.95 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Janina Fenigsen

Investigate the Results of the 2016 ElectionRegardless of Hillary Clinton’s concession, a close analysis must be done of the actual voting results (machine tabulations and paper ballots cast) versus the vote reporting (to the board of elections and Secretary of State offices). Some important facts collectively warrant this: 1) Russians have heavily influenced this election for the past six months and have successfully hacked into the election systems of more than half the states in the country; 2) Major public polls and the Clinton campaign's internal polls were historically off the mark, and in the campaign's case, didn't match the voter file records, which is unheard of to this level. This is especially odd considering that Clinton's campaign manager Robby Mook is one the most brilliant in politics when it comes to micro-targeting and voter analysis. Even GOP strategist and pollster Frank Luntz called the 2016 exit polls “the worst and least accurate we’ve ever seen,” in a Tweet sent on election night. 3) Homeland Security/DOJ teamed up with a group that is part of Anonymous based in Washington, D.C. called “The Protectors.” This group saw a lot of activity during Election Day from the Russians and believe that the voting results projected don’t match the internal and public polls because the voting results were manufactured in favor of Trump in heavily Republican counties in key states, and voting results may have been decreased for Clinton in key Democratic counties via malware that was placed by the Russians when they hacked the election systems of more than half our states. 4) Trump/Manafort set-up the “rigged election” narrative months ago preparing for exactly this scenario. This is straight out of Manafort’s playbook, and Putin’s, too — accuse the other side of doing what you’re doing so that you cannot be accused of doing it. There is no short supply of examples of this: Putin regularly accuses the US of meddling in Russia’s affairs when he annexed Crimea, invaded east Ukraine, and holds sham elections in Russia. 5) Kellyanne Conway, an expert conservative pollster, was selected as Trump’s campaign manager when Paul Manafort took too much heat about his Russian’s connections and “resigned” (though he has likely continued to be involved behind the scenes and continues to have a residence in Trump Towers), and Conway helped lead messaging that polls were all wrong and that Trump has “shadow supporters,” a term that mainstream journalists echoed as the election results began to favor Trump. 6) Paul Manafort, who has heavy ties to the Kremlin, is being federally investigated for his work in Ukraine, was virtually silent since resigning from Trump’s campaign a few months ago, but sent his first tweet since resigning last week saying that by the Sunday before the election Trump would have the 270 votes needed to win (despite internal and public polls saying otherwise). Something seems very off and needs to be closely examined. Homeland Security/DOJ should be able to verify this, even though Clinton conceded.

Electoral College: Elect a new PresidentThis 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.44 of 100 SignaturesCreated by ted rees

I pledge to register as Muslim if Trump is allowed to take power and starts a registry.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.10,871 of 15,000 SignaturesCreated by Taj James

Merrick Garland Supreme Court appointmentThe 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.

Employ the power of MoveOn.org to eliminate the Electoral CollegeThe 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.52 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Devin Baty
