The border wall that Donald Trump has demanded for years would be an ecological disaster, an enormous waste of money, and an international symbol of intolerance that doesn't represent America's values. But Trump has said that he will shut down the government unless Congress gives him $5 billion for the wall. Congress should not let Trump take our government hostage. Even many Republicans know that the border wall is a bad idea. The money could be better spent on projects related to health care, education, and the economy.

Donald Trump has signed an executive order blocking refugees from seeking safety and restricting immigration from Muslim countries—a Muslim ban in everything but name. While the Trump administration has backpedaled on his call for "a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States"—realizing the weakness of his mandate and the unpopularity of his policies—it's clear that these orders are driven by a deep-seated, almost maniacal anti-Muslim hate that has captured Trump and his cabinet. And his call to block Syrian refugees—some of the most vulnerable people in the world—is shockingly morally bankrupt, even for someone like Trump. We reject targeting of anyone based on their religion or where they come from, and call on members of Congress to go on the record and vocally reject Trump's Muslim ban.

The proposed Immigration Ban is the beginning of religious and nationality profiling by President Trump. This has echo's of how the Jews were treated during World War II. Please sign this petition to let the elected officials know that we are NOT willing to stand by quietly and do nothing while they begin their regime of hate and bigotry.

President Trump just signed an executive order that could allow work on the Dakota Access Pipeline to proceed—threatening the water of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and 17 million people who live and work along the shore of the Missouri River. Federal disclosure forms filed in May of 2016 showed that President Donald Trump held shares in Energy Transfer Partners and Phillips 66, both part of the DAPL entity. A Trump spokesperson announced--without offering any proof--that he had sold off his shares in Energy Transfer Partners, but not Phillips 66. Trump's team has claimed he has no conflict of interest, but their word is not enough. If the President has truly divested, he should easily be able to prove it and put the claim to rest. If he cannot, he has no business signing executive orders that cause conflicts of interest.

Our tax dollars need to fund services that help all Americans. Please use our money wisely.

Solving climate change by pretending it does not exists and putting out propaganda to the uneducated is unacceptable at a minimum. Resist!

The President of the US desires to launch a costly investigation based on debunked claims, at a cost to the U.S. taxpayers, and undermining the trust Americans place in their elections as a result.

Earlier this week, a series of gag orders were issued against federal agencies thus preventing the public from having access to their work and access to information. This is Un-American and there is not even any "national security" reason for this attack on our values of freedom.

This is one of the most un-American things yet. Once we lose our media, the right to know what is really happening around us, we truly give up our freedom. We cannot stand aside as our country is being blinded and silenced.

Because next to his ego-the only other thing that matters to Trump is his greed!

Gag orders on government agencies hamper the important work that needs to be done. It keeps these agencies from working together, from sharing information with the American public, and destroys transparency necessary in a true democracy. It is UnAmerican and goes against our first amendment right to free speech. The president is creating a fascist regime that must be stopped.

Stopping refugee resettlement, for any period of time for any group of people, would undermine our nation’s founding principles of being a beacon of freedom and hope. An announcement restricting access to resettlement from primarily Muslim countries is tantamount to the Muslim ban that President Trump threatened during his campaign. This is a clear case of discrimination based on religion and nationality and must be decried as such. This is a program that saves hundreds of lives every day, and strengthens our communities and our nation. Stopping refugee resettlement will have profound and detrimental consequences. Lives will be lost and our national interests and security will be at risk. The United States can – and must – continue to welcome refugees while continuing to ensure our own security. Our history has proven you don’t need to make a choice, and we should continue to do both. We urge President Trump to not stop refugee resettlement for any period of time, lower the amount of refugees we resettle, or stop resettlement based on religion or country of origin.
