I feel betrayed by Donald J. Trump's brazen theft of the presidency with the aid of Russian hackers with the sole purpose of increasing his holdings, which may result in a dangerously conservative replacement being appointed upon his inevitable impeachment. United States citizens deserve progress, not punishment.

Because I want to embody my ideals. Because it seems to be all I can do towards having any effect on this travesty of electoral injustice. Because I feel betrayed by the illusion of choice.

I want to make sure that Hollywood straightens up and starts making much cleaner entertainment.

Quick history lesson: Among the reasons for the creation of the Electoral College was "to stop a demagogue—a tyrannical mass leader who preys on our prejudices—from becoming President.” And, as spelled out by Alexander Hamilton in the Federalist Papers, to prevent "the desire in foreign powers to gain an improper ascendant in our councils."[1] Yet, in just a few days, the Electoral College could cast their votes for a demagogue whose victory seems to have been aided by efforts of the Russian government. There has been evidence that Trump supporters were in communication with Russian government officials. And furthermore, there is evidence that Russian-backed parties were behind hacks into the Democratic Party and the Clinton campaign. These same parties may have also hacked the Republican Party, but chose not to leak any information from that attack. If Donald Trump's massive financial conflicts of interest that would violate the Constitution, his unrepentant demagoguery, his embrace of unconstitutional policies, and the fact that he lost the popular vote by nearly 3 million votes were not enough to convince electors to vote against him, then benefitting from, and possibly colluding with, cyber warfare from a foreign power aiming to undermine our 240-year-old democracy absolutely must be the final straw. The truth is that the Electoral College should be abolished, as more than 600,000 MoveOn members have said in a recent petition. And if it didn't exist, Hillary Clinton would have won the election with a commanding popular vote victory. But since it does exist, for now, electors can and must embrace their right to vote their conscience and be the final safeguard against an unfit president. We know it's a long shot that the electors will block Trump. But we have to try.

Horrified by the lack of public action on this issue. We ask the president to take whatever steps possible to address this unprecedented interference.

After completion of the Superfund cleanup of the Rocky Flats industrial area, the Department of Energy transferred about 7 square miles of land to U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (FWS) to operate as a Wildlife Refuge. The Refuge surrounds 2 square miles of land that are still on the Superfund list of the most contaminated places in the country. Highly toxic radioactive plutonium in the environment of this Superfund site will make its way onto the Refuge where it can be readily inhaled, the worst way to be exposed to plutonium. FWS is now curtailing activities at Refuges in western states due to lack of funds. By keeping the Rocky Flats Refuge closed to the public, FWS can prevent harm from exposure to plutonium and also save money .

December 14, 2016 For the third year in a row, gun lobby-backed legislators, including State Senator Greg Steube, are continuing their assault on public safety by introducing legislation that will change current Florida law and allow loaded guns to be openly carried in educational institutions, airports, bars and county and municipal buildings. These bills will also expand the scope of places where Florida's notorious "Stand Your Ground" law could be invoked. Together, we have stopped the gun lobby in the past. As we begin a new legislative session, your help is needed to secure a safer Florida. Help us stop SB 140 and similar legislation (like HB6005, which will allow concealed handguns on campus). Please sign this petition and share with friends. We will deliver all signatures to lawmakers in Tallahassee. Thanks for all you do. Andy Pelosi The Campaign to Keep Guns Off Campus

The Trump transition team has sent a questionnaire to Dept. of Energy employees asking about their involvement in climate change issues. They need support to prevent climate science from being overrun by political considerations. This affects all of us! Climate change is acknowledged as a real issue by Fortune 500 companies, insurance companies, states and local governments (see Miami Beach), all of whom are making plans to deal with it. We should not get rid of our information assets on this topic.

We now know that Russia, a foreign government, tried to influence our democratic election. We have a president elect who has not, and will not, let us know about his business interests around the globe. There have been high ranking aids in his campaign who have proven close ties to Russia. He has now chosen a Sec of State who also has close ties with Russia. He has completely disregarded and insulted our intelligence community dismissing their claims of hacking. In addition to having a bipartisan investigation into the Russian hacking, we must do more. We must postpone the inauguration until we get to the bottom of the Russian hacking and can fully understand its ramifications before we put the unknown quantity of Donald Trump into the power of the White House!

It is time for MSNBC to bring Fernand Amandi to television not as a guest but as a host. MSNBC has been the network offering all views and no one does that better than Fernand Amandi. It is time he is brought to a national home.

You're paying paying thousands and thousands of dollars to get your degree. Even when you graduate your still paying off your college loan. If congress pays for college more people will be educated.

Donald Trump lied when he promised to release tax returns. He should not have anyone in the cabinet who has conflicts of interest and is unsuitable for leadership. This petition is based on a NY Times article of the same name.
