The constitutional rights of women, minorities, and the LGBTQ community under a Trump presidency will be threatened especially if there are no other branches of government to hold Trump in check.

We feel it is necessary for companies to write "palm oil" on their product labels and not the other 295 names which mean the same thing. Palm oil is connected to many shady operations, including child labor and poaching. Also, if you want to see the 295 names, they are here: http://www.palmoilinvestigations.org/names-for-palm-oil.html

Hillary Clinton lost the 2016 Election largely due to the actions of FBI Director Comey. This cannot be ignored and must be investigated.

Connecticut's drinking water has been found to contain chromium-6, which is reported by the EPA as extremely toxic and a human carcinogen (cancer causing agent). Specifically, the town in which I live with my three children, Hazardville, has been found to have the highest levels in the state. The EPA currently allows for 100 ppb (parts per billion) of chromium-6, based on old research that only supposes this as a safe level. In a March 21, 2016 release by www.ctpost.com it is reported that "Connecticut has one of the highest cancer rates in America". We cannot say whether this is related to chromium-6, but neither can we deny that it may be. It is time for the EPA to act in favor of people having safe drinking water. Not merely for Hazardville, a subsection of Enfield, Connecticut, but for all of Connecticut and the country. Please help in asking the EPA and legislators for stronger regulation of chromium-6, by signing your name. Today one small town's drinking water, tomorrow every small town's.

There are multiple reports of minorities being assaulted and attacked by Trump supporters all over the country. Gay people and immigrants are getting beaten, shouted at, humiliated, and prosecuted. Buildings are being tagged with xenophobic racist messages. Non-white children are being terrorized by other children in school. Friends of mine have been targeted.

I petition to insist that the President-elect of the Unites States of America publicly distance himself from hate-driven behaviors, notably so among his supporters. The hate-motivated behaviors have invaded our neighborhoods, colleges, and streets. We all have been affected, directly or indirectly.

To galvanize the masses for the purpose of demonstrating to trump and his minions the type of impact our absence for just one day would have on the country's economy and infrastructure.

To fulfill Lincoln's desperate desire "that this nation shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth." In plain words, not commit national suicide.

Your political voice should not be amplified by your financial voice.

I'm inspired by Morgan Spurlock's documentary, RATS, to ask for better trash and recycling practices to be placed on restaurants and eateries throughout the city to control the mouse and rat problem. I grew up in Brooklyn and I can't imagine living anywhere other than New York. This wonderful city is overrun with these disease-carrying pests. Everyone's health is at risk.

The Constitution is a wonder of checks and balance to insure that the power of the Government is used legally. Without Trumps full financial disclosure, the USA is put at risk for many, many dangerous and even treasonous actions that may occur and be kept hidden from Congressional oversight. Also the founders of the Constitution intended the Electoral College to function as a bulwark against fraudulent electoral processes. The failure to properly vet Mr. Trump before the election has created a Constitutional crisis for Congress.

Climate change is real, scientific fact and is slowly but surely threatening any hope of a safe planet for future generations. By allowing a climate-change denier to take control of filling positions at the EPA, President-elect Trump is contributing to the destruction of a planet we all love and depend upon.
