• Petition Twitter to Suspend Donald Trump's Account
    Donald Trump's Twitter following keeps increasing, and the days until he takes office as POTUS are dwindling. The president-elect uses his Twitter platform to incite abuse and threaten the safety of individuals who criticize his dangerous rhetoric. His Twitter is a potential (if not existing) threat to national security and the safety of individuals, groups, and organizations he targets. Taking away his Twitter platform (a social media channel he is known to use wrecklessly) will force him away from some of the spotlight he craves, and help protect those he targets.

  • Stop Antietam Cable's Monopoly
    It's enough. The people of Hagerstown need to break the monopoly held by Antietam cable. Prices continue to go up as service options and reliability decline. My bill has gone up $30 as my service level was eliminated and I am forced to pay for a higher level of service. We need our service for school, work, and entertainment. Please sign this petition and pass it on.

  • Stop the Asphalt Slurry over the Silverlake Reservoir
    The DWP said that they could remove the thin concrete layer and add plantings to stabilize the banks without jeopardizing their timeline. I support naturalizing the banks of the Silverlake reservoir to create a more sustainable environment and support nature and wildlife in Silverlake.

  • Stand with CPC: No Iraq War Advocate as Secretary of State
    Congressional Progressive Caucus leaders Keith Ellison, Raul Grijalva, Mark Pocan and Barbara Lee have written to President-elect Trump, urging him to choose people to lead foreign policy in his Administration consistent with his campaign criticism of the Iraq war, not people who were prominent advocates for the Iraq war. [1] Their letter reminded Trump that he called the Iraq War a “tremendous disservice not only to the Middle East” but “to humanity,” which "totally destabilized” the Middle East and cost taxpayers $4-5 trillion, which could have been “spent right here in the United States on schools, hospitals, roads, airports, and everything else that are all falling apart”; and that he said “our current strategy of nation-building and regime change is a proven failure.” They expressed dismay over reports that Trump's transition team was considering Iraq War advocates like Rudy Giuliani and John Bolton for key positions to guide the foreign policy of his administration. Urge your representatives in Congress to join CPC leaders Ellison, Grijalva, Pocan and Lee in pressing President-elect Trump not to choose Iraq War advocates to serve in his administration by signing our petition.

  • Evaluate Trump for Fitness to Serve
    The President-elect's behavior is so erratic that he appears to be very much like other public figures such as Saddam Hussein. He eschewed vitriol and rallied for outright violence, hate, and Constitutional violations - with impunity. This behavior from a leader signals this behavior should be the way of life for all citizens. It is not. Even now, before having the capacity and authority to bind the United States in any agreements (therefore not having the right to begin having negotiation talks with others) he is using various techniques to waste taxpayer dollars and put the country in peril for the sake of his ego. His grasp of ethics leaves a large question in the minds of many. His "mercurial" nature does not create a sense of what this country needs - sound and solid leadership and guidance. Already, he is delegating preparatory functions to his Vice President and refusing to attend national security briefings. This gives the appearance that Trump never wanted to hold office in the first place. Before being confirmed to hold office, Trump should be evaluated to determine whether he has the capacity to do so. If not, the Electoral ballots should be cast for another who more closely fits the requirements of capable of holding office without needing to resign because of the enumerated disqualification conditions: ". . . death, resignation, or temporary incapacitation, or if the Vice President and a majority of the Cabinet judge that the President is no longer able to discharge the duties of the presidency."

  • Governor Kasich: Veto Ohio's Heartbeat Bill
    Women deserve the right to control their own bodies. This bill is a blatant attack to take away that right in a fundamental way. You have the chance to be a voice for reason in a rapidly changing world.

  • Make Them Discuss Medicare for All When ACA Falls
    This petition is addressed to more than CA (includes Oregon, Washington and Nevada with Democrat governors and legislatures) because these states, despite Democrats in power, have been unwilling to pass Single Payer legislation that would solve all the problems in health care financing and access simply. By demanding a meeting of these leaders we provide a different approach to the Republican attack on ACA, one that is solution based to the probable removal of ACA. People should also write letters, letters to the editor and march on their State officials to make this same--eminently reasonable-- demand: that they meet jointly and discuss their options once access is again further restricted and costs continue to inflate.

  • Demand John Kasich Refuse to Sign HB 493, with the "Heartbeat Measure"
    A woman's right to control her own medical decisions is in peril, and this bill would take anti-abortion legislation to a different level. Many women are not aware they are pregnant at 6 weeks. In fact, the pregnancy may not even register as positive on a home pregnancy test. The lack of provisions for incest or rape are reprehensible. In general, this bill violates the intention of Roe V. Wade and Governor Kasich needs to stop this attack on women in its tracks.

  • Raise The Music Streaming Royalty
    I'm a musician, and I've made a penny per stream from my YouTube video. Video and audio streaming companies make the lion's share of the streaming profit while the artists get practically nothing. Artists should get at least 20 cents a stream clear. Musicians work for years to master their performances; we deserve to be paid fairly for our efforts.

  • Stand with Keith - and condemn the smear campaign against him
    Congressional Progressive Caucus co-chair Keith Ellison is campaigning to become the next leader of the Democratic Party. Keith's candidacy represents the idea that while we must never yield an inch in defending the promises of the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights for all of our fellow Americans - regardless of the color of their skin, or where they were born, or how they pray, or whom they love - when we go to fight elections, our economic justice agenda must be front and center. Unfortunately, bad-faith actors have unleashed a scurrilous smear campaign against Keith, which some fear may derail his candidacy. Show your support for Keith's candidacy and your condemnation of the smear campaign against him by signing our petition.
