Fake news must stopDonald Trump repeatedly tweets out misinformation or outright lies but he is not the only one. There is money to be made by drawing eyeballs to a webpage, whether the information written there is true or not. I ask our Congress to make it illegal to purposefully misinform the American people. You can't yell fire in a crowded theater and you shouldn't be able pass off boldfaced lies as the truth either.45 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Betsy Ruhe

Gov. Wolf: Don't take renewable energy funds to build more pipelines!Governor Wolf has just announced a new program to finance even more fracked gas pipelines in Pennsylvania. Worse yet, he wants to fund the program by taking money from a fund dedicated to renewable energy projects. Fracked gas pipelines are already causing serious harm in our state. Earlier this year, a pipeline exploded in in Westmoreland County, causing severe injury and property damage. A gasoline pipeline operated by Sunoco Logistics ruptured in Lycoming County, bringing tens of thousands of gallons of oil into the Susquehanna River. This program would set back Pennsylvania and lock us further in to a dirty fossil fuel future. The only way to make our state's future brighter is to build our investment in renewable energy Sign the petition to Governor Wolf to urge him to stop this terrible pipeline program before it gets started.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Sarah Alexander

Bagel the Beagle MemorialBagel has become a cultural icon in Richmond and we propose a monument of Bagel to be erected on Monument Ave in his honor and for all the lost dogs of Richmond. Monument Ave has been the site of controversy with all the Confederate statues and the Bagel statue would serve as a less controversial, unifying symbol for Richmonders.30 of 100 SignaturesCreated by James Gross

Tell President-elect Trump: Drop Steve MnuchinPresident-Elect Donald Trump has announced his plan to appoint former Goldman Sachs banker Steve Mnuchin U.S. Treasury Secretary. Mnuchin, who served as Trump's Campaign Finance Chair, made millions at Goldman Sachs and has been labeled a "foreclosure machine." Does that sound like someone who understands ordinary Americans?673 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Dan Kildee

President-Elect Trump: Sell your businesses and remove yourself completely from conflicts of inte...President-Elect Donald Trump tweeted on Wednesday, November 30 that he will be leaving his business “in total” to focus on the presidency. Simply removing himself from the daily operations of his business and putting his children or close advisers in charge will do nothing to prevent corruption, bribery, and conflicts of interest. We don’t even know the full extent of Trump’s business interests – but we do know that he has already talked to several foreign leaders about doing business in their countries. Trump must sell his businesses to people who aren’t his children, liquidate all his holdings, and place all of them in a truly blind trust over which he has no control. This is the ethical, legal, and constitutional thing to do to ensure he is making decisions on behalf of Americans, not to further enrich himself and his family. Americans deserve a president who is accountable only to them, not to his businesses or foreign business partners. Tell Donald Trump to sell off his business and put it in a true blind trust so he can’t be bribed or corrupted by foreign governments or corporate interests.7,699 of 8,000 SignaturesCreated by Every Voice

Texas A&M University-Kingsville as a Sanctuary CampusWe should be concerned about this issue out of a sense of inclusiveness, justice, and humanity. Undocumented students, staff, and their family members who live in fear of deportation threats should know that TAMUK will provide the protection that would be allowed by law or by action as a sanctuary campus.198 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Ari Sherris

Sever Trump's DC Hotel LeaseIn 2013, Donald Trump's organization negotiated a 60-year lease with the Government Services Administration for Washington, D.C.'s historic Old Post Office Pavilion to turn it into a luxury hotel. Its lease with the Trump Organization reads, "No member or delegate to Congress, or elected official of the Government of the United States or the Government of the District of Columbia, shall be admitted to any share or part of this Lease or to any benefit that may arise therefrom." Trump tweeted that that he would leave his businesses ‘in total.’ But vague statements on Twitter–where he has lied and misled the public countless times in the past–are not action. Until he fully liquidates his personal assets or creates a true blind trust, his conflicts will remain. In this specific situation, if Donald Trump does not fully divest from his business holdings before taking office, he will be in direct violation of the lease agreement with the General Services . Tell the the Government Services Administration to cancel the lease and avoid this conflict. The Government Services Administration has managed the U.S. federal government's procurement, technological needs, and real estate holdings for the last 67 years. Its stated priorities guaranty the American people that all of its activities from the "biggest purchases to [its] most routine leases, are carried out with integrity and at the highest level of performance."1,813 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Jo Comerford
