Senator Hawley claims to be fighting for the people, but in reality he is fighting for himself and Donald Trump. If he will not respect the will of the people, he does not deserve the privilege of serving them. He also has shown that he will use Missourians as a pawn in his game of power, no matter the cost to the Nation.

AT THE WRITING OF THIS PETITION, THE US CAPITOL IS CURRENTLY ON LOCKDOWN AS TED CRUZ AND FELLOW COWARDLY REPUBLICAN LEGISLATORS STATED THEIR CONVICTION THAT CERTIFYING THE VOTES OF THE PEOPLE “IS A PROFOUND THREAT TO THIS COUNTRY AND TO THE LEGITIMACY OF ANY ADMINISTRATIONS THAT WILL COME IN THE FUTURE”. “EVEN AS TEMPERATURES ROSE AND EVEN AS TRUMP ENCOURAGED MASSIVE PROTESTS AT THE CAPITOL IN AN EFFORT TO PRESSURE LEGISLATORS, CRUZ DID NOTHING MORE THAN NOD ALONG.” (WAPO) HIS ACTIONS HAVE INSPIRED • ARMED STANDOFF IN THE CAPITOL CHAMBERS • EVACUATING CHAMBERS • MEMBERS OF CONGRESS SHELTERING IN PLACE

Most Americans don't approve of Trump's presidency, a record number just voted him out of office, and many Republicans are now also willing to admit Trump is a drag on their party and the nation. As a result Trump is furious and even more of a threat to America than ever before. Whether by impeachment or the 25th amendment, Trump must be removed—and ultimately held accountable for the attacks on our elections, incitement of violence and so much more. His selfish obsession with power means he is burning down everything in his path and picking public fights with everyone —he continues to attack Democratic leaders, journalists, nonpartisan election officials, and now he's even turned on Mike Pence and Mitch McConnell. Our nation's federal leadership must come together to remove Donald Trump from office. He is actively and illegally working to overturn the results of the election because he cannot stand to admit he lost. He's the leader of the violence and chaos at the Capitol right now. Enough is enough. Remove Trump from office. Now.

We must uphold our national laws.

Because democracy.

Medical institutions across the country have successfully made plans to vaccinate and keep their medical students in the clinical environment. UVA has vaccinated clinical medical students and is now moving on to vaccinate their 1st and 2nd year preclinical students. VCU still doesn’t have an answer for when our clinical students may be vaccinated and there is no explanation for why this is not possible. The return to the clinical environment is contingent on becoming vaccinated, however, it seems that this is not currently a priority. The clinical education of medical students nationwide has already been disrupted due to removal from clinical activities during the summer. Currently it is unprecedented for an academic institution such as VCU to remove students for another 60-90 days. Decreased clinical time will impede education and set students back in their readiness for residency compared to peers at other institutions. While we are medical students now we will be the residents tasked with treating these patients in less than 1-2 years. These changes also ignore the value that medical students bring to patient care teams. Finally, this is a case where medical students are overlooked and undervalued. It is hoped that awareness of this situation will help administrations maintain transparency and prepare for situations like this to prevent such events from recurring.

Regulating traffic flow and speed is CRUCIAL in protecting our young students as well as neighborhood residents and pets. Traffic flow and speeds have increased due to the following: 1. There are currently ZERO speed bumps and/or stop signs on Crockett St between Houston Ave and Sawyer Rd, two major thoroughfares. 2. With school being primarily virtual for nearly a year now, speeds and traffic on Crockett St have increased significantly as there are no pick up lines or crosswalk guards to help regulate. 3. There has been a tremendous amount of new construction and development in the recent years where 1 house will be rebuilt into 3, densifying the neighborhood and increasing the number of residents (and cars driven). 4. The new network of art studios and local businesses has created a flourishing neighborhood with many attractions within walking distance. There are more pedestrians in the area now than ever before (especially on weekends when events are hosted at the studios) 5. There are THREE (3) new large apartment complexes with hundreds of units (completed and under construction) which continues to increase traffic even MORE. 6. There are multiple accidents that occur at the intersection of Sawyer Rd and Silver St, one of the main intersections between businesses, art studios and residences. Let's get ahead of this problem now before something catastrophic happens to a young student or pedestrian. Tell the City of Houston that Crockett Street needs stop signs and speed bumps to regulate high speeds in this residential area. HOUSTON NEEDS TO HEAR YOUR VOICE!

The Sandridge Volunteer Fire Department serves a large area that is growing. It is in desperate need of a vehicle to transport its first responders to calls. Currently, all of their vehicles only sit 2-3 people which leaves many calls left shorthanded. Safety gear that has been denied has put the first responders serving our community in an unsafe manner. These men and women are already risking their lives to serve our community, that is more than enough. Nobody should be asked to risk their lives without proper safety gear. We have lost 2/3 of the Sandridge Volunteer Fire Department's manpower because of the poor decisions of the Sandridge Volunteer Department Board. This is a severe hazard to our community.

Donald Trump's pathetic efforts to stay in office against the will of the American voters has been truly criminal. His departure from office will not end this abuse. If there are no consequences for breaking the law, Trump and those like him will continue to do it with impunity. We call on all prosecutors—federal, state, and local—to fully investigate alleged crimes committed by Donald Trump before, during, and certainly after his time in office, and to prosecute them fully if he has broken the law. Donald Trump is not above the law—and no number of Twitter followers can be allowed to change that. If he has broken the law, he must be held accountable. Federal law enforcement—the FBI and DOJ—has an obligation to investigate the very public illegality Trump is implicated in, from lying on his taxes, to treating the White House as a campaign tool and lure to make money at the Trump Hotel, and even attempting to pressure Georgia's Secretary of State to "find" (meaning: "fabricate") enough votes to throw the election to him. And it looks like he's broken state laws as rampantly as federal, giving New York's Attorney General and Fulton County, Georgia District Attorney jurisdiction to prosecute Trump for crimes that cannot be waived by a presidential pardon. Trump should not be singled out for prosecution solely because he was president or to settle political disagreement. But by the same token, he must not be given special treatment or have his crimes ignored simply because of the office he held, because of the extent of the corruption he perpetrated, or because he still has millions of supporters. Nobody is above the law, and Trump's wealth and abuse of his office must not be allowed to justify putting him above accountability under the law. Our democracy depends on it.

Thousands of residents work from home (regardless of Covid). Our children are learning from home. Elderly, impaired, and infants are home all day trying to rest. It has become impossible to concentrate on any given day of the week as leaf blowers are used every day at all hours of the day! We have also ceased to hear birds for much of the day, animals run in fear, kids cease playing outside, you can't even walk your dog any longer without being blasted with NOISE & POLLUTION!

Our democracy is at stake, and these baseless claims are leading us down a path from which we cannot return.

It’s important because he’s currently locked in a system that said its purpose was “Rehabilitation” yet he’s being charged for actually Rehabilitating himself in that said system.
