NOT MY PRESIDENT!Americans who oppose lies, bigotry, bullying, misogyny, and wholesaling of ignorance want to put first things first. We want to make clear that, whatever the economic issues, whatever the need for change, we cannot sell out basic moral values for economic and political objectives. Many voters set aside these ethical and moral standards for what they thought would be the economic gain and political change they think we need. We cannot begin there. We cannot build anything positive on such a base. First we need to unequivocally reject these evils. Then we can get our economic and political house in order. Not the other way around. What next? Principled, reasoned, rigorous, non-violent resistance. Please forward and circulate on social media.20 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jeremy Pratt

Ask the Electors of the Electoral College to vote Hillary anywayThe Electors are the ones who actually choose the President, and in highly unusual circumstances can choose according to their conscience, rather than the popular vote of their state. This election is unusual enough to warrant Electors choosing what is best for the country.117 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Russell Hires

Voting Stations be Checked for Fraud or HackingI am EXTREMELY suspicious of the outcome of this election, especially after the candidate who won has been shown to have close ties to a hostile government while also insisting the election would be rigged against him.49 of 100 SignaturesCreated by R.

End the Electoral College!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.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Sara Kiesler

Abolish the Electoral CollegeWhen 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.156 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Vernon W Smith

Dismantle The Electoral CollegeU.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 1824.60 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Larry Martin Kimpel

Pledge Your Resistance to Trump!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.html3,295 of 4,000 SignaturesCreated by Presente Action

Appoint Garland Now (Senate Has Waived Its Rights)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.16,571 of 20,000 SignaturesCreated by M.L.

Time For Trump to Disclose His TaxesMany 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.32 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Carole Seliger
