The last time the Electoral College selected a candidate who did not win votes from the majority of the American people, the nation was plunged into war and economic chaos, leading to the Great Recession, the greatest economic downturn since the Great Depression.

Twenty-two million people will be without healthcare if the Republicans have their way. They've all threatened to repeal the law without a viable alternative. Who will stand up to him?

When the will of the American majority is forcefully ignored by an antiquated system, it is time to abolish it and adopt a fair voting system where our votes actually do count. If there is more than one candidate running and the top candidate does not receive more than 50% of the vote, there should be a run-off vote between the top two candidates. This is fair. It is not fair or American to force the clear loser of an election upon the people.

U.S. Presidents are not ever elected via the popular vote because of a loophole called the Electoral College. Help now to make sure that the arcane, outdated system is destroyed for good! Despite popular belief, the U.S. Constitution does not provide for the popular election of the American president. It provides for popular election of presidential electors. Each candidate who qualifies for a given state's ballot must designate certain individuals who will serve as his or her electors if that candidate wins the popular vote in that state. When each state certifies a winner of its overall popular vote, that winner is entitled to send all his or her electors to that state's Capitol, where they will officially record their votes for their candidate. All the electors in all the states do it on the same day, the first Monday after the second Wednesday of December. This year it is Dec. 19, which is the latest it can be, just as this year's Election Day is the latest it can be. In these proceedings in the states, the winner of the statewide popular vote generally takes all the Electoral College votes, a rule stretching back to 1824.

Twice in 20 years Democrats have lost a national presidential election while still carrying the popular vote.

Tragically, Donald J. Trump is the president-elect of the United States of America.[1] As we watched state after state turn red, we could not escape the realization that the country was taking a sharp turn for the worst. To be clear, we’re under attack and we're scared for our families and loved ones. And we know we must resist, and change the culture that allowed Trump to rise to power. The stakes have never been higher. We have work to do and we need to be powerful enough to organize and refuse to support Trump’s regime and its heinous agenda. Pledge to resist Trump, defend those who will be targeted by his hate, and please ask your friends and family to do the same because no one should go it alone. 1. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/09/us/politics/hillary-clinton-donald-trump-president.html

I care about this country and see the Senate's blocking of Obama's Supreme Court Nominee to be unprecedented and unconstitutional. I think it's imperative that we make our voices on this issue heard, and quickly, while there's still time to take action.

Many citizens want to know why these documents remain hidden. I personally fear that Trump is in conflict with (and will continue to have) domestic and foreign conflicts of interest and which will imperil our nation's fiscal security and physical security.

The extreme right wing minority has usurp power of the 2016 US Presidency.

The electoral college just wrote Americans off by letting Trump sit in the highest seat of power, he is a con artist and a failed business man. We must have the popular vote mean more than the electoral college! Please SIGN and SHARE this petition to start getting the change our country desperately needs. POPULAR VOTE TOTALS: Hillary: 59,923,027; Trump: 59,692,974

Millions of Americans stand to lose access to crucial healthcare services if Obamacare is repealed. No longer will employers have to give healthcare, and pre-existing conditions can be considered in the assessment of healthcare. As a country, we cannot afford to step back into the past by repealing Obamacare.

Trump does not have a mandate. A majority of Americans voted for Hillary. Republican senators have refused to allow Obama, who does have a mandate, to have his nomination for Supreme Court Justice voted on. The case for Democrats against a Trump nomination is much more clear.
