A Path to Citizenship for Undocumented ImmigrantsThe Trump Administration is targeting "[a]liens who illegally enter the United States without inspection or admission" claiming that they "present a significant threat to national security and public safety. " All government departments & agencies have been ordered to deploy all "lawful" means to "repatriate illegal aliens swiftly, consistently, and humanely." Most undocumented immigrants pose no threat to the national security or public safety of the United States but, in fact, provide labor resources and tax revenue that help support the US economy and increase diversity of the American population. Undocumented workers, who have no criminal history (guilty of a felony and/or misdemeanor excluding presentation of false documentation for humanitarian purposes or preservation of family unity) and who are gainfully employed (at least one family member), should be granted the same opportunity as those of previous generations to become naturalized citizens of the United States. Tell the White House and Congress to immediately legislate an expedited pathway for these undocumented workers and their families to gain US citizenship. It is the American way.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Andrew S. Bermant

Congress: Investigate Trumps Mental Fitness to be President.I believe that Donald Trump is not mentally fit to be President. I think Congress should force Trump to be examined by a Psychologist or Psychiatrist to determine if he is mentally fit. His actions since he has become President have led me to believe that Trump is mentally unstable. He is paranoiac, he thinks that everyone is against him, that every bad news story is fake. He is overly narcissistic, he believes that he is Gods gift to this country even though polls show otherwise. We need our representatives in Congress to investigate the possibility that Trump is mentally ill. Thank you for signing this petition.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Daniel Mackay

Do not rescind the wilderness refuge ruleA wildlife refuge should be exactly that.....a refuge. No barbaric, cruel extermination methods such as aerial gunning, poison, and gassing should be allowed in these protected areas to appease game hunters.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Marianna Breton

@ChampaignCoDems: Vote to Save Our County Nursing HomeOn April 4, Champaign County voters will vote in referenda to decide whether to save our Champaign County Nursing Home. On March 22, Champaign County Democrats will vote on whether to endorse the referenda campaign to save our county nursing home. When the Vermillion County nursing home was privatized, the new management dramatically cut the staff, contradicting promises they had made to county officials. [1] Three years later, the nursing home was being cited by the state for life-threatening abuses. [2] Over the years, the Champaign County Nursing Home has tended to thousands of residents. [3] But now, the Champaign County Chamber of Commerce wants to privatize our nursing home. [4] We know where this would lead: more cuts in services for people who need them. Urge Members of the Champaign County Democratic Central Committee to vote on March 22 to endorse the referenda campaign to save our nursing home by signing our petition.

Meet with your constituentsMr. Walberg (Michigan Congressional District 7) avoided all public events during the recent recess, and constituents were forced to hold "empty chair" events. We have a lot to say that Mr. Walberg should hear. Calls and emails are answered with unrelated form letters, and he needs to hear our concerns in person to be forced to directly address them.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kathryn Foyle

We must REMOVE Steve Bannon from the White House!!!Steve Bannon, a self-avowed Leninist (“I’m a Leninist. Lenin wanted to destroy the state, and that’s my goal too. I want to bring everything crashing down, and destroy all of today’s establishment.” ) has been given the highest power of an elected official within our Government under the President as Chief Strategist. His attacks on the press, calling them "The Opposition Party", is part of an obvious attempt to divide the people of the U.S. His speech at CPAC has outlined their Nationalist agenda. Anyone who is trying to dismantle our democracy is an ENEMY OF THE STATE!! We must remove Steve Bannon from any position of power!49 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Robert Stone

Wasting Taxpayers' Money on First LadyBecause America doesn't need to be the next Trump bankruptcy. We have better things to do with our hard-earned money.

PROTECT OUR FREE PRESS!!!No democracy can exist without an informed electorate. Without a truly free and independent press, and without thorough investigative journalism, there can be no informed electorate and therefore no democracy. Freedom of speech and of the press is key to our own survival as a democracy and therefore we must do ALL we can to maintain our free press.189 of 200 SignaturesCreated by MICHAEL EDWARDS

DNC Chair Perez: Commit to Jon OssoffThe Democratic Party is at a crossroads. For too long, it's allowed races like this to slide by, losing crucial contests that have allowed the GOP to entrench its power. We must see that the Democratic Party will be the party to stop the Trump agenda. That starts with backing Mr. Ossoff.144 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Robert B McMonigal

JUSTICE for Grant BurrisCPL Grant Burris a former Marine was killed in a hit & run. ADA says he is giving Dreu Wikle Probation. It's time to stand up and say this is unacceptable. Sentencing (probation) was set for April 12, 2017 at 8:45 a.m but Judge Burgess who will be hearing this case moved it to April 13,2017 at 2:30 p.m sounds fishy to me, but I will be attending both dates! I don't trust this system for one second.42 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Angela Isaac

Get our bathrooms back!Donald Trump has made it so transgender students and people may not use the bathroom that they feel comfortable in but they have to use there birth sex bathroom. I feel as though as a transgender student myself this is highly hurtful because coming out as transgender is hard enough but having a whole group of people in the White House against you is far too much. I came out a couple months ago because I thought America was getting better and that I could feel more comfortable because everything is going to change and I'm going to be comfortable in my own skin. But boy was I wrong! So I was 6 years old when I started feeling uncomfortable with my body something just wasn't right. As a six-year-old you don't particularly know what's wrong but you know something's wrong. So I went quiet for nine more years. 9 years I was this dark shadow hiding behind a mask so they won't see me. I don't want to deal with that anymore. I am out as a transgender boy and there's so many others just like myself. Actors singers writers journalists coffee shop workers they're all just trying to live peacefully and I think people should understand that. So please join in to help us to get our bathroom back. Some people may say it's just the bathroom but the bathroom symbolizes our rights. Once you take our bathroom what else will you take from referring to us as our preferred pronouns and names. I hope this petition is known to people and people join the fight with us because we need it. I thank everyone who signs my position. Thank you.54 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kole Morton
