Save Civil Rights!Donald Trump wants to increase the power of law enforcement in Black communities, like Chicago, but wants to kill the institution that hold police accountable to the law itself. We can not bend and bow to Trumps terror tactics and threats. For the past 60 years the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice has protected the rights of all Americans--including voting rights, the rights of Black folks and other people of color, women, people with disabilities, and religious minorities. And now, Donald Trump wants to eliminate all of that. Stop him now!245 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Rashad Robinson

Bad Mickey: Tell Disney to Dump TrumpDisney CEO Bob Iger serves on Donald Trump’s economic advisory council. While we forced Uber CEO Travis Kalanick to step down last week, Iger refuses to leave the council.[1] In a statement on February 7, Iger said the board is a “great opportunity” that gives him a “pipeline” to speak with Trump.[2] But here’s the thing. There’s no negotiating with an administration that is attacking immigrants, handing government over to Wall Street, and planning to take healthcare away from millions. Tens of thousands of People’s Action and MoveOn members – together with hundreds of thousands of Uber users and workers – forced Uber CEO Travis Kalanick to resign from Trump’s council. We can do it again. We will not let corporate collaborators off the hook. Demand Disney CEO Bob Iger resign from Trump’s economic advisory council immediately and stop collaborating with Trump. ---------- [1]"Uber C.E.O. to Leave Trump Advisory Council After Criticism."

DeVos: Restore the website for children with disabilitiesI am a retired teacher with thirty years of experience. I am also the mother of an adult child with learning disabilities. U.S. Senators Cantswell and Murray got it right when they stated, “The Department’s failure to keep this critical resource operational makes it harder for parents, educators, and administrators to find the resources they need to implement this federal law and protect the rights of children with disabilities." Please sign to restore this resource!271 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Pam Marquardt

Back Gabbard bill to pressure Saudi Arabia on ties to Al Qaeda in YemenHawaii Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard's bipartisan bill H.R. 608, the Stop Arming Terrorists Act, would prohibit the use of U.S. funds to provide assistance to Al Qaeda, ISIS, and Jabhat Fateh al-Sham (formerly al-Nusra, that is, Al Qaeda), and to countries supporting those organizations. The bill would require the Director of National Intelligence to make a periodic determination of whether Saudi Arabia is supporting Al Qaeda and report to Congress about it. [1] The bill's co-sponsors include Reps. Barbara Lee, Peter Welch, Walter Jones, Thomas Massie, and Ted Yoho. [2] President Trump is threatening to escalate U.S. support for the catastrophic Saudi war against the Houthis in Yemen. To stop this war, we must undermine Republican support for it. The biggest political vulnerability of the Saudi war in Yemen for Republicans is the fact that the war is strengthening Al Qaeda. Thus, the Saudi war in Yemen is directly threatening the security of the U.S. homeland. [3] Moreover, Saudi forces have fought alongside Al Qaeda in Yemen against the Houthis, [4] and working with al Qaeda has been an integral part of Saudi strategy in Yemen. [5] Building support for Rep. Gabbard's bill will help us raise the issue of Saudi support for Al Qaeda, and that will help us undermine U.S. support for the catastrophic Saudi war in Yemen. Urge your Representative to co-sponsor Rep. Gabbard's bill by signing our petition.

Investigate Russian Ties to Current AdministrationCongressman Trey Gowdy has established himself within the Republican Congress and amongst Republicans at large as the "Uncoverer of Truth" and "Deliverer of Justice". It is now incumbent upon him to carry this non-partisan torch to seek and deliver any/all necessary justice and accountability from this administration as it relates to matters regarding Russia and the best interests of The United States of America, just as he did as the Chairman of the Select Committee on Benghazi.14 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Brian Norfolk

Glenn Grothman - Meet with your constituents!I've contacted Grothman numerous times regarding my concerns and have received nothing but unresponsive form letters. His public statements regarding his desire to create "government fit for a moral and religious people” concerns me that he doesn't understand the concept of separating church and state and that he doesn't represent all of us. I'd like him to answer my questions on this and many other topics.132 of 200 SignaturesCreated by D6 Forward Action Wisconsin Network

ASK JUSTICE DEPARTMENT TO INVESTIGATE VOTER FRAUDAn ongoing lie, or delusion, of the president of the United States affects not only me, but every US Citizen. This particular lie constitutes a "big lie." According to Joseph Goebblels “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it". For the sake of our democracy we cannot afford to allow Trump and his followers to perpetuate this big lie.13 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jesse Allen

Senators Cotton and Boozman: Host a public town hallSenators are elected to serve the needs of the residents of their state and should therefore avail themselves to the general public whenever they return from Washington D.C. According to their official websites, neither Senator has any public events currently scheduled during the upcoming recess. As an Arkansas resident and voter, I find this lack of interaction with their constituents to be unacceptable.1,246 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Angela Paradis
