Yes......we lost the Presidency......and yes, we lost the Congress.....BUT......take heart friends...                            .....we DO retain substantial POWER this year!                               WE HAVE THE POWER OF THE PURSE!!!!!! Read on.... Mark Muro, a Brookings Senior Fellow made some stunning observations shortly after last month's devastating election. He reported the following: "The less-than-500 counties that Hillary Clinton carried nationwide encompassed a massive  64% percent of America’s economic activity as measured by total output in 2015.  By contrast, the more-than-2,600 counties that Donald Trump won generated just 36% of the country’s output—just a little more than one-third of the nation’s economic activity." Take a minute to let this sink in.   The 472 counties that Clinton won represented an amazing  64% of  last year's GDP! In sharp contrast, although Trump won an overwhelming number of counties…..those roughly 2600 counties only accounted for 36% of 2015 GDP!  According to Muro..... “Trumpland consists of hundreds and hundreds of tiny low-output locations that comprise the non-metropolitan hinterland of America”, while, with 3 exceptions, “CLINTON WON EVERY LARGE-SIZED COUNTY ECONOMY IN THE COUNTRY”.  He then points out that this unprecedented economic split is especially striking...... given that CLINTON IS THE CLEAR WINNER OF THE POPULAR VOTE! The significance of these amazing observations is the following....... we have NOT lost all of our power people! We actually retain a remarkable and powerful tool - THE POWER OF THE PURSE!!!   Let us join together to put our SUBSTANTIAL power to work immediately.  Let us exercise our ECONOMIC POWER to mount a MASSIVE NATIONWIDE ECONOMIC PROTEST! . If you are appalled by the presence of a white nationalist in the white house; if you are terrified of his cabinet picks and Twitter storms; if you are alarmed by the thought of Russian interference in our national election; if you believe that Donald Trump's extensive business interests, at home and abroad, represent significant conflicts of interest that have the potential to plunge us into a constitutional crisis......then please, consider making a commitment TODAY to join a nationwide economic protest.  It will cost you nothing.  All you have to do is to make a commitment to REDUCE your discretionary consumer spending. Consumer spending represents approximately 70% of GDP!!!! Imagine....if millions of people all across this country commit to a reduction in consumer spending by a certain  percentage - say 50% or 75% or even 100% reductions;  an economic protest of this magnitude would send a powerful message to Washington and to Wall St.   WE CAN DO THIS.  WE SHOULD DO THIS.  Even the HINT of a large scale economic protest will rattle the people in power across this nation! For those of you who say that this action may put us at a risk for an economic slowdown - I say.....yes, it might.  But I also say, that the risks of a Trump presidency - to our democracy, to our freedoms, to our Constitution, to our national security, to our environment, AND ultimately, to our long term economic well-being - pale in comparison!  So I urge you to carefully reflect on these issues.  An ECONOMIC PROTEST now is a fight for our country.  We have this POWER.  Let's use it - NOW! Our message to Congress is the following: 1.)  Steve Bannon, Mike Flynn and others like them have NO PLACE in the People's House 2.)  Congress will begin an immediate, SPECIAL bipartisan investigation of the role of Russia in our election. Was there any collusion between team Trump and Russian operatives? 3.)  Congress will demand that Donald Trump fully comply in both the spirit and the letter of the        'emoluments clause' of the Constitution  (article 1 section 6 clause 2). Failure to comply will result in impeachment proceedings. 4.)  The Trump family will have NO role - formal or informal - in this incoming administration.  Trump will   comply in the letter AND the spirit of the laws with regard to nepotism. 5.) There will be NO repeal of Obamacare without an IMMEDIATE AND COMPREHENSIVE replacement healthcare plan to be effective on the day Obamacare is repealed. 6.) The following Trump cabinet picks - Pruitt, Tillerson, DeVos, Puzder, Sessions, and Price are deemed too extreme for their respective posts and will be replaced by individuals who are experienced and who have demonstrated a personal philosophy that is congruent to their respective departments.                              EXTRAORDINARY TIMES DEMAND EXTRAORDINARY ACTION! Commit today. Exercise your economic power.   Use it or lose it!   Decrease your discretionary consumer spending. We ARE stronger together!  Let's send an important message to Washington and to Wall St.  If you find this message compelling please share it with EVERYONE you know, who might also share your thoughts or feelings on these very important issues.  Post this message on your Facebook page.  LET’S GET THE WORD OUT THERE AND GET IT OUT FAST!!!! Your signature demonstrates your commitment to this protest! Sincerely, Marea Baggetta

Private citizens and public figures alike have been the target of the president-elect's tweets, which have brought forth the furry of his supporters. The results have been dangerous -- from death threats to in-person harassment -- and will only compromise Trump's targets further as he assumes the presidency. Furthermore, Trump has tweeted about nuclear weapons without realizing the potential catastrophic effect on the international horizon. Twitter is a unique format that doesn't require thoughtful consideration or the vetting of a cohesive message. Trump can use other media forums to more clearly lay out his policies and opinions, without endangering our citizens in an irresponsible manner. Twitter has suspended accounts for death threats and continued harassment. For the protection of individuals and for the safety of our nation, CEO Jack Dorsey should suspend the account of President-elect Donald Trump.

Mitch McConnell defied the Constitution and insisted that this Supreme Court position be determined by the American people. Almost 3 million more of us want a moderate liberal like Judge Merrick Garland to be appointed. The US needs one more year before the conservative minority takes over appointments to the courts. Also appoint as many unfilled lower court positions as your team has vetted. Make the republicans fight another year to turn back our progress. Petition Deadline January 2, 2017.

I'm writing you today because I believe in mystics and that everyone, regardless of past history, deserves a fair chance. I am specifically speaking about our unfair judicial system in Mississippi. I am not an attorney or a judge but a loved one of a man that's been wrongly convicted but our justice system. This one man's story should definitely give you the courage to stand for what's right and free an innocent man. This man is Dewayne Ledale Tugle. Dewayne is currently serving a 38 year sentence for a crime he proclaimed his innocence of from the start and still does to this day. After previously serving time for a charge committed at the age of 17, Dewayne was released only to be charged with attempted armed robbery, possession of a firearm by a felon and felon fleeing, within a month of being free. Dewayne was never identified in the photo line up and the victims actually picked someone else who fit the description given by the victims. Tugle was released on bail and lead a church going productive life during this time. Months later he was indicted for felony fleeing and possession of a firearm by a felon but was not indicted on the robbery charge because he was not identified, still the victims of the robbery were allowed to testify to seeing a black man with a gun even though they couldn't identify him to be Tugle. This gun, not only was never found on Tugle's possession but his finger prints were no where on the weapon. After a mistrial on those charges the district attorney requested that the charges not be dismissed and allow him a chance at a conviction and the judge did just that. Months later at the hearing in the judges chambers all charges were dismissed and Tugle was told he was free, Not a week later Dewayne was picked up on a Capias warrant, indicted on felony fleeing and possession of a firearm by a felon (dismissed charges) and 2 counts of armed robbery stemming from the previous charges where he was never identified on, the victims were allowed to make an in court identification, changing their statements and identifying Dewayne now as the assailant, this being two years later Dewayne beat one of the armed robbery charges but was found guilty on everything else and sentence to 38 years. Tell me where is the justice in this, I only ask you to think of Dewayne as if he was one of your loved ones and how would this affect you. He has not found any justice in the appeal process and needs the love and support of family and friends. Read his case and see for yourself. May God Bless you and help Free Dewayne Ledale Tugle.

Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Chris Murphy will be in a strong position to shape debate over Russia policy in the next Administration. Elizabeth Warren will be on the Senate Armed Services Committee. [1] Chris Murphy, the first Senator to publicly challenge the Obama Administration's support for the devastating Saudi war in Yemen, is on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. [2] Unfortunately, some Democrats are planning to make common cause with John McCain and Lindsey Graham on Russia policy, pushing for a new Cold War that would likely jack up the already bloated Pentagon budget at the expense of domestic priorities like expanding Social Security, while undermining prospects for de-escalation of conflict in Ukraine, Syria, and Yemen. Urge Senator Elizabeth Warren and Senator Chris Murphy to stand up for diplomacy and against the Russia hawks by signing our petition.

It is important that we combat fake news with facts and that our government generates policy based on fact rather than pressure from lobbyists with domestic or foreign interests.

The hysteria over supposed Russian hacking costing Hillary the election is pathetic, and blaming Russia takes attention from the real issue, THAT the DNC, the DEMOCRATIC ESTABLISHMENT and the MEDIA rigged the DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY, to ensure that their predetermined candidate would win the nomination. The content of the leaked emails only verified the obvious rigging. This rigging needs to be acknowledged and censured by the Democratic establishment, or it will continue. Suppose that Russia is responsible for the hacking; it could simply be emulating the actions of the self declared exceptional world leader. The U.S. has routinely manipulated elections, orchestrated coups and overthrown governments. The U.S. government and its media need to stop blaming and demonizing Russia, and the U.S. needs to see its actions as other countries see them, if it wants to lead effectively towards a more peaceful, sustainable world background: https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2016/12/adam-schiff-russia-election-hack/511571/#article-comments http://www.feinstein.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/press-releases?ID=A04D321E-5F86-4FD6-AD8E-7F533E1C2845 http://rootsaction.org/news-a-views/1412-urgent-to-progressives-stop-fueling-the-anti-russia-frenzy http://www.unz.com/emargolis/moscow-attacks/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/...

I am starting this petition because no one deserves to be treated so inhumane. People deserves to be treated fairly and just.

NO WARRANT AND NO STATE COURT JUDGMENT. The Fifth Amendment (V) of U. S. Constitution says no one shall be "deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law. “ All judges, lawyers, and law enforcement take an Oath to Uphold the U.S. Constitution. For over 4 years, Ms. Smalls, a CPA, and an Entrepreneur has been homeless with her co-op mortgage and fighting 24/7 to get back her home. Judges covering up for other judges have falsely claimed that Ms. Smalls was legally evicted (if legal, where is the paperwork, Warrant, judgment, notices, etc.?), labeled her complaint as frivolous, and dismissed her complaint without any due process or proof to support their claim in violation of her 4th, 5th, 7th and 14th Amendments of U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights. For additional proof of case and pictures of her stolen Co-op, www.stealingyourhome.com PLEASE FOLLOW THIS FEDERAL CASE USDNJ Case #16-847 Patricia Smalls vs. Riviera Towers Corp., et al., For her current case, the Judge Bumb in DKT 2 has falsely claimed that Ms. Smalls was legally evicted without providing any evidence to support her claim, such as a Warrant. Also, Eviction is for Renters. Ms. Smalls owns her Co-op/home, her Co-op mortgage would have to be foreclosed on which takes 3 years and wanted. PLEASE CONTACT Chief Judge Simandle at (856) 757-5167: Tell him to remove Judge Bumb. Ms. Smalls has a constitutional right to a fair jury trial and unbiased judge. In 1994, the U.S. Supreme Court held that "Disqualification is required if an objective observer would entertain reasonable questions about the judge's impartiality. If a judge's attitude or state of mind leads a detached observer to conclude that a fair and impartial hearing is unlikely, the judge must be disqualified." [Emphasis added]. Liteky v. U.S., 114 S.Ct. 1147, 1162 (1994). Whether you are a Homeowner or Renter, a Warrant is required to enter your home in accordance with 4th Amendment of U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights. These false claims have robbed Ms. Smalls of her rights to due process, $250k stolen co-op/home, over $200k stolen belongings, over $100k in co-op equity, damages, time, a fair jury trial and justice in which PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION to require the Court either provide proof that Ms. Smalls was legally evicted or give back her stolen co-op with belongings. Give back justice to Ms. Smalls, today. Thank you for your time.

I am having trouble getting witnesses because people in this area are worried there may be repercussions.
