Congresswoman Norton: Boycott Trump's InaugurationCongressman John Lewis is a Civil Rights hero; we are indebted to him for his decades of activism and moral courage, from Bloody Sunday to today. Donald Trump’s attacks on Congressman Lewis are unconscionable, and force all of us to ask ourselves: which side are you on? We stand with John Lewis. Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton has spent her lifetime standing up for the dignity of women, people of color and the residents of the District of Columbia. We respectfully urge her to stand with John Lewis and against Trump’s bigotry and hate by not attending Trump’s inauguration this week.121 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Drew Courtney

Eliminate Congressional Health CareTaxpayers are paying for top of the line health care of Congress members, in some cases for rest of their lives, while 22 million people who are currently covered through the Affordable Care Act will be without health coverage.

Jason Chaffetz should do his job instead of bullying ethics watchdogsInstead of doing his job as Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, Rep. Jason Chaffetz is trying to stop the executive branch’s chief ethics watchdog from doing his. We deserve elected officials who operate only in the public interest -- not their own. Donald Trump's plan to maintain ownership of his businesses, but turn control over to his sons, will do nothing to solve his conflicts of interest that could allow him to use the Presidency for personal financial gain. That's why Office of Government Ethics director Walter Shaub Jr. called Trump's plan out as "wholly inadequate" this week -- and why Democratic and Republican ethics experts agree. Rep. Chaffetz leads the committee responsible for investigating ethical problems by the President, and should be as concerned as Shaub is. Instead, he’s attacking Shaub, threatening to subpoena him and making ominous reminders that lawmakers have the power to shut his office down. As House Oversight Chairman, Chaffetz has a duty to hold elected officials to the highest possible ethical standards. Instead, he's using his power to bully those who seek to hold Donald Trump accountable. Add your name and demand that Jason Chaffetz stop threatening ethics watchdogs, and use the House Oversight Committee to investigate Donald Trump’s financial holdings, root out any potential conflicts of interest, and hold him accountable.551 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Common Cause

Tell Commissioner Avery to Reject Pipelines through the PinelandsThere are two high pressure gas pipelines proposed for construction that will impact Pinelands residents and natural resources. Both proposed pipelines violate the rules that protect the Pinelands National Reserve, a state and federally protected region in New Jersey. Over 2/3 of Ocean County is located within the Pinelands National Reserve. The state Pinelands Commission is a 15-member independent public body responsible for enforcing the rules that protect the Pinelands. They will vote in early 2017 on whether or not to approve the first of these pipelines, the South Jersey Gas pipeline, which will go through Cumberland, Cape May and Atlantic Counties. The second pipeline, to be constructed by New Jersey Natural Gas, goes from Chesterfield (Burlington County) to Manchester (Ocean County) and will also come up for a vote before the Pinelands Commission. Each county in the Pinelands has a representative on the Pinelands Commission appointed by that county’s Freeholder Board. Ocean County’s representative is Commissioner Alan Avery. Tell the Ocean County Freeholders that Alan Avery should stand up for the county and vote NO on both pipelines. They violate the rules that protect the Pine Barrens and they threaten the health and safety of its residents. Please sign by February 8 to have the maximum impact.563 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Pinelands Preservation Alliance

Trump must be held accountable to the emoluments clause.Donald Trump has many business interests in other countries. Any gifts to his businesses or his family could violate the emoluments clause in the constitution. All American citizens should feel that the President of the United States must be above suspicion in any actions he takes on behalf of this country.75 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Roy Fischman

50/50 Custody Rights for Fathers!I am one of many of thousands of great fathers who have foreseen the ugly battle to fight for custody of their own DNA child. It is unfair and biased for the states to give full custody to the mother and not to the father because parental alienation is a thing. It is not just women who are abused by this; most custody cases are fathers being alienated and forced to go weeks, months, and years without seeing their children because they have to fight for the right to their child, which discriminates against male rights. Sign this petition to push for a movement in the White House, and state legislators to have it set in stone that a mother and father automatically have 50/50 custody of their own DNA child at birth.21 of 100 SignaturesCreated by timothy a hughey

Expand--don't repeal--health care coverage in Kentucky.Repealing the ACA would be a disaster for 486,000 Kentuckians who would lose their health care and would also put rural hospitals at real risk of closure. These hospitals depend on Medicaid expansion to cover the cost of care to poorer, previously uninsured patients--losing coverage could run them out of business, and cost thousands of jobs in the community.143 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Seamus Allman
