The peaceful, inspiring, broad-based resistance to Trump and his shocking, unconstitutional, and immoral agenda will continue to stand up, fight, and lead. The people are in the streets. We're doing our job. But now we need Senate Democrats to step up and do their job. Senators need to do everything in their power to stop all Senate business and to refuse all Cabinet and Supreme Court nominees—until we stop Trump's un-American, unconstitutional agenda, including his Muslim ban. The public—the majority of which voted decisively against Trump—is demanding clear, principled, and total opposition to the Trump Administration's extreme, unconstitutional, and unprecedented agenda and executive orders. We need Senate Democrats to get the message  to take extraordinary steps— and quickly. To their credit, some Senate Democrats, including Elizabeth Warren, Jeff Merkley, Chuck Schumer, Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, Kirsten Gillibrand, and Bob Casey (among others) attended airport and other protest rallies this weekend. That they went to where grassroots energy was surging is an important step, and they should be commended for it. More recently, a number of senators gave impassioned floor speeches, keeping the Senate open late into the evening. And, Sen. Merkley has declared he will filibuster any Trump nominee to the Supreme Court. These are positive steps. But they are not nearly enough. Just voting against Trump's policies and nominees is not enough; Senate Democrats must use every procedural tool available to them to shut down the Senate. That means demanding roll call votes, denying unanimous consent, and challenging even "normal" Senate procedures to stop "business as usual." As Adam Jentleson, former deputy chief of staff to Sen. Harry Reid, pointed out recently, Senate Democrats can effectively grind business in the Senate to a halt — if they're willing to.

We are requesting that Senator Bill Cassidy hold a town hall meeting with his constituents in southeast Louisiana. Senator Cassidy's office phones have been going to voicemail, and in some offices the mailbox is full. Constituents deserve an opportunity to make their voices heard. Cassidy has scheduled town halls in rural northwest Louisiana. Those in the southeastern part of the state want an opportunity as well.

Steve Bannon is directly responsible for the disastrous immigration order that has discriminate against Muslims. This is unlawful and unconstitutional.

Please encourage Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood to investigate Carolyn Bryant Donham and any others who may have been involved in the death of Emmett Till. While Emmett's murder occurred in 1955, it continues to impact American society today. Carolyn Bryant Donham, the named accuser of Emmett Till, recently admitted that she lied in court about what Emmett Till did on that day. This lie led to the murder of this young boy and further divided this Country. Contact AG Hood at http://www.ago.state.ms.us/contact/ or call 601-359-3680. https://newsone.com/3651562/carolyn-bryant-donham-lied-about-emmett-till/

Mike Bishop has refused to speak to his constituents about the Affordable Care Act, but instead has hidden behind op-eds in the local newspaper and even blocked people from his Twitter account. More than 23.1 million Americans could lose their health care if the Affordable Care Act is repealed, many of them in the 8th District. Many others will be affected by the lose of other parts of the law. We deserve to be heard by our elected representative.

The City of Detroit is home to a robust and vibrant set of communities, including diverse communities of immigrants, many of whom are asylum seekers, many of whom are Muslims, and many of whom are from the Middle-East or predominantly Muslim countries, and are thereby threatened by the increasingly aggressive and discriminatory policies of the Trump administration. As well, the City of Detroit is a self-governing political entity that owes its responsibility to its citizens, to the constitution of the State of Michigan and to the constitution of the United States. As such, the City of Detroit and its representatives are not only entitled to oppose unconstitutional and unethical actions taken at the federal and state levels, but are morally responsible to do so in the interests of the people of the Detroit. *Neither the Mayor of Detroit, Mike Duggan, or the Mayor's Chief of Staff, Alexis Wiley, make their emails or office phone numbers available to the public. As such, a petition such as this, cannot be directly or easily delivered. This petition will most easily reach City Council Pres. Hon. Brenda Jones.

I care deeply about the wonderful, diverse community in Brooklyn where I live. Many hard-working immigrants live in Bay Ridge, Bensonhurst, Dyker Heights, Gravesend and Staten Island, which make up Rep. Dan Donovan's district. Many of our Muslim brothers and sisters call these wonderful neighborhoods home. This ban on Muslims and refugees affects many families in our neighborhoods. Families are at risk of being torn apart. Refugees who have found a welcoming home in our neighborhoods are wondering if they will face persecution yet again. We all share an interest in keeping our neighborhoods safe and welcoming for immigrants of all religions and communities. If you live in these neighborhoods, or have family members here, you may be affected as well. Discrimination based on country of origin or religion is unconstitutional and damaging to the social and economic fabric of our cherished neighborhoods. Let's stand together in solidarity against this unconstitutional and discriminatory ban and ask Rep. Dan Donovan, who is our elected representative, to do the same.

I've worked in healthcare for 40 years and seen the great benefits the Affordable Care Act brought to US citizens. We cannot go backward.

I suspect that the President may have an underlying mental disorder that compromises his ability to perform the duties of the office of the presidency.

I want to start this petition because I'm enraged how this wall would directly affect tens of thousands of hard working families.

Republican Assemblymembers Nicole Malliotakis (District 64, Staten Island and Brooklyn) and Rob Castorina (District 62, Staten Island) recently filed a lawsuit against the City of New York to prevent them from protecting information collected by the city as part of its municipal ID program IDNYC. The new IDs, which nearly 1 million New Yorkers have applied for, is particularly important to undocumented immigrants, seniors, the formerly incarcerated, members of the LGBTQ community, and others who lack the benefits provided by conventional identification cards including opening bank accounts, using libraries, and picking up their children from school. IDNYC had built into it a provision that the data gathered as part of the application process would be destroyed after a period in order to protect undocumented cardholders from deportation. The lawsuit brought by Malliotakis and Castorina is currently risking the exposure of nearly a million people to this anti-immigration administration by preventing the destruction of this data. The IDNYC program was designed to provide vulnerable New Yorkers with the same opportunities as all New Yorkers. It must not be used as a weapon against them. Malliotakis and Castorina were elected to serve their constituents, not the draconian policies of the Trump administration. We, the undersigned, call on Malliotakis and Castorina to immediately drop the lawsuit. Protect immigrant rights. Protect New Yorkers. Protect our neighbors.

All of our Democratic senators can and must work together to block Trump's destruction. By withholding consent they can block Trump in exactly the same way that the Republicans blocked Obama!
