DON'T LET THE EPA BE TAKEN OVER BY POLLUTERS!Donald Trump’s EPA nominee, Scott Pruitt, has called the risks from climate change “speculative guess work” and said the debate is “far from settled.” Pruitt is a fossil fuel industry favorite, and he can’t be trusted. If he is confirmed, Pruitt could finish what he started while suing the EPA- tearing down the Clean Power Plan, and blocking the Clean Water Rule for good. Tell senators to listen to the majority of Americans who support climate action and oppose the nomination of Scott Pruitt for EPA Administrator.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Alfredo Ramirez

DON'T LET "AN INSULT TO JUSTICE" BECOME OUR NEXT ATTORNEY GENERALTell the Senate to vote NO on Jeff Sessions for Attorney General Donald Trump’s nominee for the Attorney General, Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions, has called the additional C02 in the atmosphere “plant food” and “not really a pollutant. ” He is a climate change denier. He has voted against almost every environmental legislation since 1997. Sessions is not fit to be our nation’s top law enforcement official and cannot be trusted to ensure the rights of all are being safeguarded.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Alfredo Ramirez

Remove Health Care Benefits for LawmakersI know many people that can not afford health care and either just stay sick or go to the emergency room because they can't afford to go to the Doctor. It is unacceptable that we are one country that cares nothing for its citizens and thinks that people are expendable.120 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Linda Siegel

Stop Trump: Education Not Deportation for Gay DreamerFelipe de Jesus Molina Mendoza (A# 206-252-347) is a proud graduate of Durham Public Schools. Felipe graduated from Riverside High School in 2009 with a 3.8 GPA with dreams of attending UNC Chapel Hill and majoring in nursing. Despite graduating from a North Carolina public school, Felipe was facing out-of-state tuition, a sum so great higher education became unrealistic. Left with no other option, Felipe returned to Mexico to continue his academic studies. Felipe faced discrimination and prejudice in Mexico, which led to a rapid decline in Felipe’s mental health. Felipe faced various instances of being persecuted, stalked and assaulted because of his sexual orientation. At one point, a group of men threw beer bottles at Felipe and his then boyfriend. Felipe reported the incident to the police but the police refused to act. Instead, these government officials blamed Felipe for holding hands with his boyfriend. Another time, Felipe and his boyfriend were stopped and frisked by the police and ordered not to kiss in public. With Mexican authorities refusing to protect Felipe, Felipe faced no other option but applying for asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border. During Felipe’s time in detention, Felipe was targeted by detainees and officers. Felipe was harassed, intimidated and falsely accused. Felipe and other LGBT immigrants were, then, segregated in a cell in direct view of a detention officer. Despite the fact that Felipe’s life is in danger in Mexico, Felipe was ordered deported in March 2016 and an appeal is, currently, pending. Two months ago, Felipe enrolled at Durham Technical Community College. Felipe’s dreams were crushed, again, after receiving a deportation notice from Immigration & Customs Enforcement this past Christmas Eve. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, exercise favorable prosecutorial discretion and approve Felipe’s (A# 206-252-347) stay of removal.741 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Alerta Migratoria NC

Postpone Trumps InaugurationThe President elect, Mr. Donald J. Trump should NOT be sworn in as the 45th President of these United States of America. There are just too many problems that need to be solved before he takes office. 1) Did he, or any of his campaign staff, collude with Russia to subvert our recent election for POTUS? Is there material that Russia has to compromise Mr. Trump and can be used to blackmail him? 2) What is in Donald Trump's tax returns of the past 10 years (at least)? He refuses to show them. The "audit" he claims he is under should have no effect on his revealing them. 3) Can Mr. Trump be more diplomatic and less abrasive in using Twitter? So far he has shamed this country by his ill-advised antithetical use of "tweets." 4) Will he be able to work with our intelligence agencies? He has already done too much to delegitimize the very people we need to protect this country. Is this part of the plan to undermine this country and give more power to Vladimir Putin? 5) Will Donald Trump every divest himself from business ties so that he will not be influenced by them in opposition to what is best for America's interests? 6) Furthermore, will he comply with the emolument clauses of the Constitution, or be subject to break our laws on day one? To be fair he cannot do this in the 48 hours he has before his inaugural ceremonies. 7) Last but not least will he really change his behavior to help unite America or simply play to a voter base that is NOT IN THE MAJORITY. In the two months between Trumps winning the Electoral College votes and swearing-in, he has managed to lose support of too many Americans. He is being called "morally illegitimate" now. We need to be ever so sure that we are not turning this country over to a traitor that only sought the Presidency to feather his cap, get out of legal qualms and seek vengeance upon the current President. We need to know that he is NOT a puppet of Putin or any other foreign entity. It is our tradition to assume innocents until proven guilty, but where the Presidency of the United States is concerned, it is better to answer these concerns about Donald Trump instead of taking a leap of faith. We cannot afford to be wrong3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Cheryl Dickason

Only through engagement and reconciliation can we mitigate issues of local, national, and international concern.25 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Toni O'Boyle

Congress: Invalidate the Trump Presidency ImmediatelyDonald Trump being inaugurated as President is a direct victory for Vladimir Putin and his hostile actions to undermine our government, and we as a nation must raise a the alarm to put a stop to it immediately. At best the Electoral College results were compromised directly by the hostile actions of the Russian government. At worst, it was quite possibly executed with the knowledge & assistance of Donald Trump and/or members of his campaign staff either through complicity or compromising data in the possession of Russia. We have all heard and read Mr. Trump's public calls openly inviting the Russian Government to continue their hostile acts of aggression and now we know those systematic attacks continued with Mr. Trump's permission. His presidency must be invalidated immediately and retroactively and the election ruled in favor of the winner of the popular vote.28 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Joe Woerdeman
