No Confidence Recall of Donald TrumpMr Trump's gross incompetence is a danger to our country and planet. His actions are reckless and autocratic. Many government around the world have expressed grave concerns about him and are generally fearful of his autocratic approach to governance and diplomacy. We believe the country will suffer dire consequences should he remain in office.20 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Robert Bohardt

Ask Hillary Clinton to Choose An Alternative to Donald TrumpAccording the the 12th Amendment (see www.solartopia.org) Hillary Clinton could instruct her delegates to cast their Electoral College votes for an alternative candidate who might win enough Trump defectors (37 are needed) to deny him the presidency and either win outright in the Electoral College or put the contest into the House of Representatives. We ask that she step forward in a "Profiles in Courage" moment and save the world from a Trump-Putin catastrophe.986 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by Harvey Wasserman

Block Right-Wing Supreme Court AppointmentsMany people are still in shock that, defying all the predictions, Trump and the Republicans won the White House, the Senate and the House. At least one can hope for some relief in two or four years if Democrats, Independents and disillusioned Trump supporters ‘throw some of the bums out’. The much bigger threat lies with the Supreme Court where Trump will certainly nominate an extreme right judge to fill the Scalia vacancy. This and a likely Ginsburg replacement during Trump’s term will drastically alter the Court for decades to come. We can expect this Court to repeal Roe v. Wade; weaken the rights of women, immigrants and the LGBTQ community; further disenfranchise blacks, Hispanics and all minorities; favor big business over workers and unions; continue Citizens United and facilitate the buying of elections by the rich; support fossil fuels, hinder alternate energy and ignore the threat of climate change…. to name a few! This threat should not have happened. Antonin Scalia died on Feb 13, 2016 at the age of 79. In March President Obama nominated Merrick Garland, the Chief Judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals, to fill the vacancy. However, Republican Senate leaders, in an unprecedented move, refused to hold a vote on the nominee until a new president was elected. Mitch McConnell said, "The American people are perfectly capable of having their say on this issue, so let's give them a voice. Let's let the American people decide.” Republican control of the Senate means that, unlike Garland's nomination, the Senate Judiciary Committee will hold hearings and the Republican-controlled Senate will schedule a vote. As long as Republican senators remain loyal to the party, the thin majority they hold should be able to confirm Trump's nominees. That leaves Democrats with one alternative - a filibuster. If the Democrats do resort to this parliamentary tactic, which hasn't been employed against a Court nominee since 1968, they will be able to block a nomination, again assuming that they have the party discipline to hold on to their members and prevent the 60 votes needed to break a filibuster. We must urge Democratic senators to immediately state their intention to block, by filibuster if necessary, any right wing Trump appointment to the Supreme Court. This stance is easy to explain using the very logic the Republicans used to block Obama’s appointment. While Trump garnered the most Electoral College votes, he did not win the support of the majority of Americans. He lost to Clinton by almost 3 million votes (48% to 46%). Americans have spoken, and Trump’s support does not meet Mitch McConnell's and the GOP’s standard. Note that at the time the Republicans said Obama lacked popular support to make the appointment, he had beaten Romney by 5 million votes (51% to 47%) and had an approval rating of 55%. We call on Democratic senators to immediately state their intention to block, by filibuster if necessary, any right wing Trump appointment to the Supreme Court. We have your back. We will strongly support you in this critically important action.356 of 400 SignaturesCreated by John Benziger MD

Tell Bronx NYC Council Members to Support Waste Equity Bill Now!We urge you to support Intro 495, a.k.a. The Waste Equity Bill, which seeks to unburden communities in The Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens that handle an unfair 80% of NYC's garbage. Each borough needs to take care of their fair share and the South Bronx shouldn't be saddled with over 30% of the city's garbage. We are already suffering an epidemic crisis with the highest rates of asthma in the nation. This city's economics must not continue to be prioritized over the health of our communities. Not only do we deserve better from our elected officials trusted with our health and environment, but we demand better.62 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ed Garcia Conde

Demand A Thorough Election Fraud Investigation & Delay the Inauguration"Voter Fraud" by individuals is a myth that has been proven virtually non- existent. "Election Fraud", tampering with Voters and Votes by organizations is highly illegal and very alive in America. Research long before 2016 identified many systematic ways Poor and Minority voters are disenfranchised. When confronted with several well documented vote purging strategies, the Michigan recount was canceled. Recounting votes reported Election Day may produce insignificant results. The number of votes disqualified in Michigan is 7.5 times the amount Trump allegedly won by. The same is true of most other swing states. If only 15% of these votes were unconstitutionally invalidated, the election reverses. The gutting of the Voting Rights Act brought back the formerly illegal and confidential Interstate Crosscheck System and many other tricks used to purge votes in Red States. Until a thorough investigation of all disqualified votes, discriminating tactics, and “spoiled” ballots takes place, there is no way to know who truly won this election. This should concern both Trump and Hillary voters. There will be no coming together of disparate ideologies or races while this Jim Crow shadow still hangs over America. If there's anything we've learned in 2016, it’s throw out the rules. Our elections are verifiably fair or not. Left or Right the issue is the truth, and the time it takes to agree on it is an insignificant price to pay considering the alternative. What better time than now, while the iron is hot? Every citizen owes it to America to demand the truth, and our Government owes it to us to secure it without hesitation. http://www.gregpalast.com http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2014/04/republican-voting-rights-supreme-court-id37 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Daniel Viele

Ask Andrea Bocelli to not perform at Donald Trump's InaugurationI am personally affected by apparently everything that Donald Trump is doing, but more importantly, I'm affected by the type of person he is. Andrea Bocelli's voice is so remarkable, so grace-filled it would be a kind of sacrilege for him to perform for someone as despicable as Donald Trump.314 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Kathryn Joseph
