People need to be thinking about what rule changes Obama made that need to be preserved as those are what can easily disappear on January 21st. Most of them have not been talked about in the campaign. Like the changes in the overtime laws that take effect December lst. There are a number of conditions that exempt people from being paid overtime- one is the type of salaried job that can be made exempt. Exemption is also dependent on the job’s salary level. The current level for exemption is $23,660 per year (about $11.37 an hour) set 12 years ago. This is less that what it costs to live in Madison Wi (much less New York, Chicago or San Francisco). Earn more than that in some jobs and you do not get paid for over time Obama used a rather low amount for the new exemption level $47,892 (about $22.83 an hour)- this is based on the 40th percentile for the lowest American regional market. He also indexed it for inflation so that such a large jump will not occur again. It will have two effects, people in the targeted job categories who earn near the exemption level will get raises. People in lower wage positions will either get overtime or other people will be hired to help them. This may be an issue that resonates with many Trump supporters a point of unity. Save Over Time is one logical grassroots effort for the next 60 days to focus Trump on the policies needed to make America great again. I am sure there are more. Do not just share the position - many lower income Trump supporters are not online- create a small leaflet with a call to action on the bottom - Something simple - SAVE OVER TIME - a couple of sentences and write Donald Trump c/o the White House- the point is to focus on rule changes and force these issues before the inauguration start focusing on the details as opposed to the sound bytes

The popular vote went to Hillary Clinton. If you want to ask the delegates to please vote Democrat you may sign this petition. The Electoral College has outlived its use for the American People. Ask the delegates to please do what's fair. They can make the election go to the right candidate for the job.

We believe our country to be the beacon of democracy, but in the presidential election on Tuesday we witnessed a flawed democratic process at work. Hillary Clinton, who won the majority of votes from the American people, lost the presidency to Donald Trump. This happened because the Electoral College is an outdated system that needs to be reformed. The National Popular Vote bill would change this by ensuring that the winner of the popular vote in all 50 states and the District of Columbia would win the Presidency. The people of Maine from both parties have shown that they believe this process to be more democratic and in 2008 the measure was passed by the Maine Senate only to be defeated 2 years later in the House. I urge you to revisit this bill and make the Presidential election process more democratic for ALL Americans, so every vote may count.

I am starting this petition in the last great hope that we can legally turn this election around and award the presidency to the candidate who earned the most popular votes. My hope is to create a groundswell of support that provides the Electors of the College with justification to vote their conscience.

Deliberate actions that are inclusive are necessary to move forward as a nation that is richest in its diversity.

I am sickened by the hateful rhetoric that is pervading our country and has even been targeted to my friends and neighbors.

This is an emergency. Our parties have put forth candidates that are both unacceptable to a simple majority of the people. Civil war may break out! There are life threatening issues at stake, like civil war, world war, and of course climate change and the 6th great extinction. We call on the entire electoral college to come together to select a new candidate for President - that is acceptable to the majority of the electors, and to be ratified by a majority of the people. This should be an open internet process.

I believe each vote must count if we want to live our most cherished values of freedom and equal opportunity.

We all have been let down by broken promises and corruption. The DNC pushed their chosen candidate and many of us myself included followed. No longer will we push DNC agenda for them. The loss to Donald Trump is unacceptable and we must be prepared to have a candidate who has the stamina and conviction to win. Jon Stewart has proven time and time again he understands the progressive agenda and has the heart to lead us.

Two popular vote elections lost - Gore now Clinton. We are not a country of hate but as long as we keep an antiquated election system we are not a free democracy - one person one vote - let all persons of age and legal status living in the USA choose - we can no longer let our fate be decided by a handful of states.

2016 is the second election in 16 years where the candidate with the most popular vote was not elected president. The Electoral College system is outdated but to pass a constitutional amendment to eliminate it is close to impossible. By having states with a majority of electoral votes agree to give their electoral votes to the winner of the popular vote will mean that in future elections the winner of the popular vote will become President. There are other benefits for elections to be decided by popular vote. With the current system only swing states get the attention of candidates. Other states with solid majorities for either party are ignored as are the issues that are most important to the voters of these states. It is also true that the Electoral College means that the value of a vote is not the same in each state. When elections are decided by popular vote all votes are equal. If your state is not yet part of the NPV Compact, petition your state legislators to pass legislation to join. Learn more at http://www.nationalpopularvote.com/

We should not be voting via the antiquated electoral college. The popular vote should elect the next president! The compact is designed to ensure that the candidate who wins the most popular votes is elected president, and it will come into effect only when it will guarantee that outcome.
