Sen. Heitkamp: Join the movement and boycott Trump's inaugurationCongressman John Lewis sparked a growing movement this weekend to boycott Donald Trump's inauguration. He said he would not attend because Russia's tampering with the presidential election means that he cannot view Trump as a "legitimate president." Since then, nearly 60 House Democrats have announced that they will not attend Trump's inauguration, either—and Democratic Senate Leader Chuck Schumer told the media that the decision to attend the inauguration is up to each senator. But as far as we know, Senator Heidi Heitkamp still intends to attend the inauguration—which is why she needs to hear from you right now. Hundreds of thousands of people across the country, including MoveOn members like you and supporters of other progressive organizations like CREDO and Democracy for America, have spoken out to demand members of Congress resist Trump, giving 59 House Democrats the public support and political will needed to stand up to Trump and refuse to attend his inauguration. Now, senators who believe in our shared progressive values and democratic principals of our country must do the same. Donald Trump is a threat to our nation; he is an unstable autocrat and must be resisted at every turn. By boycotting the inauguration, elected representatives are refusing to treat Trump's presidency as business as usual.43 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jo Comerford

Close the Fracking LoopholeSince 2005, the oil and gas industry has fracked over 137,000 wells, used over 6 billion pounds of chemicals and produced billions of gallons of fracking wastewater. At least 157 of the chemicals used in fracking fluid are toxic to humans and aquatic life. Fracking produces billions of gallons of fracking fluid waste each year. And time and again, toxic spills have contaminated our water and endangered our health. Yet the fracking industry remains exempt from EPA regulation and the laws that ensure the safety of our drinking water. The Senate must close the fracking loopholes in the Clean Water Act and the Safe Drinking Water Act.894 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by Anna Aurilio, Environment America Federal Legislative Director

No Drilling in the Arctic and AtlanticInvoking the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, which grants the president power to protect the places where drilling is most dangerous. President Obama declared a ban on all future oil and gas drilling for 115 million acres of the Arctic and 31 Atlantic canyons just last month. Reversing the drilling ban would be dangerously irresponsible for this pristine wilderness and our planet. Yet Sen. Dan Sullivan and Rep. Don Young (both of Alaska) are considering legislation to authorize President-elect Trump to overturn the bans once he takes office. We must urge our Senators uphold the ban on offshore drilling in these regions. Add your name to our petition to keep the Arctic and Atlantic protected -- forever.78 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Anna Aurilio, Environment America Federal Legislative Director

Remove Mark Hulsey from the Bench for Judicial Misconduct and abuse of powerI was a witness to this Judge's misconduct, deception and prejudice in courtroom 508, Duval County Florida. He's under investigation that has been dragging on too long. The sheer number and scope of the charges ( 14 and likely to grow in numbers. From stating to a staff attorney that black people should get back on a boat and go back to Africa, to calling a female member of his staff a b****and a c***, and having staff perform his personal duties for him.) against him make him unfit to be a Judge making decisions that affect people's very lives. Before time causes the people forget, the people must act. Every case he presided over other than those of white heterosexual males,should be retried before an unbiased Judge regardless of the expense to the state. This means Gay men and women. transexuals, Hispanics and African Citizens, as racism more often than not goes hand in hand with bigotry towards all people who do not fit one's image of themselves. This investigation into Mark Hulsey must not slip under the radar nor be forgotten! Everyone deserves a fair trial and I myself witnessed his bigotry and abuse of the system for personal gain, later proven through investigation. He must not be allowed to slip through the cracks!9 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Daniel J ALden

President Obama: Protect the California CoastPlease sign the petition, then call or email the White House with the information below: Comments: 202-456-1111 Switchboard: 202-456-1414 https://www.whitehouse.gov/contact President Obama, we respectfully – and urgently request that in the closing days of your presidency you block vulnerable areas on the California Coast from fossil fuel exploitation. We are concerned that even with the protected areas on the Pacific Coast, the areas off of the southern coast of California – from Santa Barbara to San Diego have come into the crosshairs of the fossil fuel industry. The southern coast of California is particularly attractive to the Oilmen because there is on-shore infrastructure available to process the extracted hydrocarbons. They are proposing the use of new technologies such as horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing. We cannot afford to compromise the marine habitats of Coastal California. We have gained so much – but could lose as much or more by way of the air and water pollutants that fracking would release in our waters. It would also expose the entire coast to the risk of a catastrophic oil-spill event should the high-pressure wells blow – something that does occur on land where the blow-out can be contained without public notice, but would not be so easily contained (or concealed) in a marine environment. Please use your executive power to immediately protect our coastline from any oil exploration.2,134 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Wendi Kallins

@CoryBooker: Come Back to Justice. Support Drug Imports, Oppose Settlements.Press reports say New Jersey Senator Cory Booker is positioning himself to run for President in 2020. [1] Unfortunately, Booker has so far refused to distance himself from DC special interest lobbies whose demands conflict with the interests and values of the majority of Americans: Wall Street, brand-name pharmaceutical companies (Pharma), public school privatizers, and the pro-settlements lobby (Aipac). Booker did Pharma's bidding when he helped defeat the Sanders/Klobuchar amendment to bring down drug prices by allowing the import of drugs from Canada. [2] Such "parallel imports" are also a key tool for developing countries to make essential medicines affordable. Pro-Pharma U.S. policies get "exported" through trade agreements like the TPP, so Booker's pro-Pharma stance hurts working families around the world, not just in the United States. Booker is doing Aipac's bidding by co-sponsoring Marco Rubio's S. Res 6, which slams UN Security Council Resolution 2334 for reaffirming international opposition to illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank. [3] Rubio's resolution is an attack on President Obama and Secretary Kerry, who allowed UNSC Resolution 2334 to pass by refusing to veto it. [4] J Street, Americans for Peace Now, and JVP oppose S. Res. 6. Urge Senator Booker to "Come Back to Justice." Urge him to support drug imports from Canada and oppose illegal settlements in the West Bank by signing our petition.
