A president is obligated to make decisions for the benefit of the country without any thought of personal or familial gain.

Mitch McConnell held up Merrick Garland's appointment to the Supreme Court because he wanted to hear the voice of the American people. The American people have now spoken and given 2 million more votes to the Democratic candidate than the Republican candidate. The Senate must therefore either confirm Garland or have Hillary Clinton make the next appointment.

As the owner of numerous companies spanning the entire globe, Donald Trump could take office with the most blatant conflicts of interest in the history of American politics. The scope of Trump’s empire means that his businesses are impacted by a wide range of government policies, including taxes, consumer protection, civil justice, financial regulation, employee rights, foreign policy, and much more. Trump has proposed transferring control to a misnamed “blind trust” under the direction of his children. That’s more like an all-seeing trust! It would do nothing to eliminate the staggering conflicts of interest. The American people need to know that Trump is not running the government to benefit his own corporate empire.

We must have an accurate accounting of the votes cast for the 2016 Presidential election.

Fourteen years ago, my dad, Jerry kent Jones, was arrested on a Agervaited Robbery case because he was on drugs really bad. I really didnt know much about him. I was barley being born when he seen me. He was at the hospital and seen me be born, but he had to go because he was wanted and he was running from the police:/ The drugs took my dad from me my mom and my sister's. He had a history, but today, he is serving a life sentence without parole because he chose drugs , alcohol etc. My dad wasnt a bad guy. He just messed up..... like everyone does! People make mistakes and they learn from them! My dad has been in there 14yrs now and i think that is enough. He has missed my whole childhood and wasnt there for any events that included a father at school. He cant be here for when i graduate or when i get married etc.... It was hard for my mom because she had all five children to raise on her own. He was with my mom for a while. My mom Melissa Cheek and my grandma Sonia Cardenas would tell me stories about him. My dad would fix my older sister's hair in the morning for school and it would look pretty crazy. He would take care of my sisters and i know he loves us because he writes us letters. My dad Jerry kent Jones wasnt the best dad in the world but he was there for me and my sisters at some point. Its crazy how someone can kill somebody and get out 5 yrs later but my dad is in there for life. I don't see how his incarceration is serving any good purpose for our society. If President Obama does not commute my father's sentence, he will likely die in prison, especially since he has diabetes and has had medical complications and requirements that are not being properly met. i miss my dad with all my heart and soul!!! Please sign my petition so I can be with my father. We want to make up for the time we have missed out on. You will end so much suffering if this petition succeeds in bringing him home to me.

The house ,Paul Ryan, is threatening to "privatize" social security and put into Wall Street. That is NOT their money. It belongs to the people who invested in it, including the interest they "borrowed" from it.. We do Not give you permission to STEAL IT.

We want a level-playing field for drivers without compromising public safety. We believe that finger-printing is not a burden and keeps the public safe and confident in the industry which is also good for working drivers.

111-16-2016, THIS PETITION IS BEING CIRCULATED TO HELP STOP BIGOT STEVE O'BANNON FROM CONTROLLING THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT - PEOPLE WITH HIS HATEFUL RHETORIC/DIALOGUE, TODAY!!!

Everyone is discouraged by lies in politics.

This petition affects the 742,000 illegal immigrants brought to this country as CHILDREN who willingly gave all of their personal info to the Obama administration in good faith with the expectations and understanding that they would be able to become US citizens. Now that same info may be used against them under President Trump's new policy of mass deportation. Please do not allow this to happen!

President elect Trump wants to do what no other president in my 60 year memory has done – split his time between sleeping in the White House, the People’s House, and in his "beloved" penthouse in Trump Towers. This would truly make him an elitist president rather than a president for ALL the people.

Cherry Point, or Xwe’chi’eXen, is considered sacred to the Lummi Nation and protected by the Treaty of Point Elliott of 1855. In May, the Army Corps of Engineers recognized this treaty and denied permits for a coal shipping terminal at Cherry Point. Now, we are requesting that the state Department of Natural Resources follow the Corps' lead and protect Cherry Point for all future Lummi Nation people by adding the sacred 45 acres of land to the Cherry Point Aquatic Reserve. The deadline for commentary is November 18.
