Congressman Keith Ellison is who we need to chair our party towards progressive change.

The nuclear codes are about to be handed to a misogynist who thinks it's appropriate to tweet ugly things about women at 3 AM, a rapist who calls all Mexicans rapists, a xenophobe whose own mother was an immigrant, man who thinks that bombing the crap out of something is a good idea. The white men he has appointed are vicious and dangerous. If Trump bombs another country, he will bring a rain of bombs down on us. We must stop him and his cohort before they destroy the planet in the name of making America great. Ask your representatives to insist that he withdraw to preserve our country's peace and the safety of the world for the sake of our children and his own.

Because we need to know what he is hiding before the official vote. Whatever it is, may change the lawmaker's vote!

President-elect Donald Trump has appointed white supremacist Stephen Bannon to a senior advisory position in the White House. David Duke calls the appointment "excellent." And it's a harbinger of things to come. Expect more awful appointees. Many Senate Democrats (from Dianne Feinstein to Harry Reid) have spoken out against Bannon. But the appointment itself does not require Senate approval. However, Trump will be making hundreds of executive branch and judicial appointments that do require Senate approval. And any Senator can put a hold on these nominations, for any reason. It is time for the Senate to take a firm stand against white supremacy, and block any all Trump appointees. Sign the petition to all U.S. Senators: Block all Trump appointees.

This election was stolen not only by the Electoral College, but potentially also by Russian hackers aiming to interfere with election results. A public investigation needs to take place by Congress. US Citizens need to know specifically what intervention occurred, what was investigated, and what steps are being taken to rectify the situation and prevent further intrusions.

Americans deserve elected officials that are beholden to voters, not outside influences or their own personal financial interests. That’s why we’re worried about the massive conflicts of interest looming over a Trump presidency. President-elect Trump controls more than 500 businesses, with assets valued at over $1.5 billion. There are simply too many opportunities for Trump to use the powers of his office to increase his personal wealth. The only solution is to sell these assets off and set up a blind trust. Just one example: The Trump Organization just opened a new hotel in the Old Post Office Pavilion in Washington DC. The property is leased from the federal government through the U.S. General Services Administration, the head of which will be appointed by President-elect Trump. That’d make Donald Trump both landlord and tenant -- and any questions or disputes regarding the terms of the lease or maintenance costs of the property will directly impact President-elect Trump’s personal finances AND U.S. taxpayers' finances. We cannot tolerate this massive conflict of interest. Nearly every president in modern times has set up a "blind trust" to avoid this -- where an independent trustee manages the officeholder’s assets without the officeholder's involvement or knowledge of where they're invested. Trump’s proposed solution is to put his children in charge of his company -- but that's not even close to the same thing. A truly blind trust must be managed independently, not by his family. And even if the President-elect were to put an independent manager in control of the Trump Organization, it still wouldn't qualify as a blind trust because Trump has full knowledge of the Trump Organization's assets, holdings and business partners. Voters deserve better -- Donald Trump must sell all of the Trump Organization's assets, and set up a blind, independent trust to manage his wealth while he serves as President. Add your name today to demand that President-elect Trump put his assets into a blind trust.

A hero to White Supremacists has no place in American government.

The Georgia NAACP and other progressive organizations are committed to defend against this proposal and others in the pipeline aimed at retrogression of civil and human rights. We have a new president-elect but the Constitution is still the same. We will not take a step backward on civil and human rights!

Donald Trump wants to require all Muslims to register in a national database; to carry special ID cards; to be tracked by the government. He is citing World War II internment camps as a precedent for proposed Muslim registration. During the election, a reporter from NBC asked him: “Mr. Trump, why would Muslim databases not be the same thing as requiring Jews to register in Nazi Germany?” He had no answer. The idea that any group of citizen should be singled out, profiled and discriminated is profoundly un-American and immoral by any religious standard. The world said, “Never again” to Hitler’s genocide, when we say “never again” we mean it in regards to everyone.

A full 46.9% of eligible voters in this country opted out of casting their vote in our most recent presidential election. This is a direct threat to our democracy.
