I know a boycott of this measure will affect our Hollywood allies but I would ask those actors to join in this boycott - the administration of our 45th president CANNOT be allowed to command our financial institutions - especially when the candidate has PERSONALLY profited from our suffering in 2008. I am just one of thousands of people affected by the housing bubble of 2008 and I CANNOT support a candidate with such profound financial and philosophical cognitive dissonance.

We believe democracy demands that every vote should matter equally and the president should be the one who wins the most votes. Neither was true in the past election, the second time in the last five elections. Under the winner-take-all method of awarding electoral votes, voters in Connecticut and other reliably blue or red states are ignored. Of nearly 400 events during the 2016 general election, 94% were in held in just 12 battleground states, only one was held in Connecticut. The NPV Compact is an agreement among states to award their electoral college votes to the winner of the national popular vote. Once states holding 270 electoral votes join, the Compact will go into effect, making the national popular vote winner the president. Ten states and the District of Columbia, representing 165 electoral votes, have joined the Compact over the past 10 years. The Compact does not abolish the Electoral College. It works within the framework of the Constitution, which gives the states the power to appoint Electors, “in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct.” Support for the Compact is bipartisan. Newt Gingrich wrote, “This important project has the potential to transform the way we elect our presidents and to make sure all Americans have a voice in their future." During President Trump’s first week in office the Wall Street Journal reported that he “told Congressional leaders that he was interested in getting rid of the Electoral College and replacing it with a national popular vote.” The measure is not new; it passed the CT House in 2009 and has received bipartisan joint favorable votes in the General Administration and Elections Committee in 2011, 2013 and 2014. NPV legislation is currently under consideration in 19 states, many of them red. Please make Connecticut’s votes matter by supporting the NPV Compact.

I think Nevadans don't feel that our voices are being heard. We want this opportunity to communicate our current concerns with our senator.

The week of February 18-26 is the first congressional recess of the 115th Congress, and for many of us, the first opportunity since Trump took office to speak directly with our members of Congress--without having to worry about going to voicemail. This is the perfect time to ask the questions that we, as constituents, deserve answers to and to demonstrate that tolerance of Trump's attacks on our health care, our communities, and our democracy are unacceptable and politically toxic. Already, we have seen a tremendous response at town halls--including over a thousand attendees at Rep. Chaffetz's event in Utah--but now members of Congress are running scared. Many members aren't planning to hold public events to hear from their constituents during the upcoming recess. It's our elected officials jobs to hear from and represent us, their constituents. Will you call on your elected officials to represent their constituents and hold a town hall or other public event, and pledge to attend to make your voice heard?

I am starting this petition so the people of West Virginia can make their opinions and concerns known to Senator Capito.

IT IS TIME WE STOPPED TALKING ABOUT THIS WASHINGTON D.C. MESS AMONG OURSELVES & MAKE DAILY/WEEKLY CONTACT WITH OUR US CONGRESS PERSON & 2 US SENATORS. THEY NEED TO KNOW THAT WE ARE MAD AS HELL & WILL NOT TOLERATE TRUMP'S AGENDA.

Congress will be in recess the week of 2/19 and we feel it's important to learn what Rep. Faso has learned and for him to hear the concerns of his constituents.

Representative Graves has not held a town hall in the history of the 14th Congressional District which is now 5 years old. The citizens of the 12 counties he represents deserve the chance to voice their concerns and know that he heard them.

Senator John McCain has served his country throughout his life and deserves to be treated with respect, regardless of whether we agree with particular viewpoints. The Senate has rules against impugning a Senator; they should demand the same conduct from the President.

Champaign City Council elections are on April 4. In the same election, Champaign County voters will vote in referenda to decide whether to save our Champaign County Nursing Home. Champaign Republicans represent a key swing bloc in the Nursing Home referenda. They also represent a key political bloc enabling the policies of President Trump and Governor Rauner. President Trump's immigration executive order directly threatens faculty and students at the University of Illinois. Governor Rauner's refusal to pay bills has put our Champaign County Nursing Home in danger. Urge Members of the Champaign City Council to speak up for faculty and students at the University of Illinois and to speak up for our Champaign County Nursing Home by signing our petition.

Congressman Loudermilk has not faced his constituents since the Election. He works for us and needs to hear from us!

Opposition to LB608 The Parental Choice Scholarship Program Act, introduced by Lou Ann Linehan, takes funds away from public schools for each student that goes to a private school. This hurts Nebraska communities and has the potential to increase taxes. This is a radical copy of programs launched by Betsy DeVos and Mike Pence. By providing public funds to religious organizations it would also be unconstitutional: http://nebraskalegislature.gov/laws/articles.php?article=VII-11
