Connecticut petition for universal vote-by-mail program for the June 2, 2020 Primary ElectionI am the Reverend Dr. Daniel Schlorff, advocate for voters' rights and ballot access activist for over 20 years. While I have agreed to run for CT State Representative (HD90, Wallingford and Cheshire), I'm also concerned that the voters of my district as well as voters all across the state will have to choose between risking sickness during this pandemic vs. not being able to exercise their voice in this year's election cycle. Several states have already successfully enacted a vote-by-mail program, including Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Utah, California, and Hawaii -- and these states are seeing a higher voter turnout as a result. That's why I'm asking you and all voters of Connecticut to help me tell Governor Lamont and Secretary Merrill that the voters of Connecticut want an executive order and enactment of a universal vote-by-mail program instead of the in-person Primary Election scheduled for June 2, 2020. Furthermore, should either the State or Federal governments not issue an all-clear in advance of the General Election on November 3, 2020 , we will once again urge them to enact the universal vote-by-mail program, to continue until all voters are safe to leave their homes and enter the voting booths without extreme risk. Sending this petition is the only way to send a message that is loud and clear, that we want to prevent voter disenfranchisement this election year while also keeping Connecticut voters safe from others and others from them. Thank you for signing this petition!147 of 200 SignaturesCreated by The Reverend Dr. Daniel Schlorff

Request DOJ to File Suit Against Governors Who Have Not Issued Stay at Home OrderOur country leads the Pandemic by more than twice the numbers of any other country. The DOJ and the Attorney General are meant to support and defend the citizens and the safety of our country. This is not being done. We need every agency possible to do its part to save our country. People are dying and when it is a person that you know it takes on a whole different meaning. Please act federally to protect the citizens. This cannot be done on a State by State basis. And it cannot be done by a city by city basis. People do not even know when they are passing it on, as no symptoms are present for the first four days. If we are a United States lets act like it.20 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Linda N Pliska

Keep OUR President on airThere are many people signing a petition to silence our president. In the beginning of this outbreak our President tried closing our borders. These same people called him racist. The democrats are trying to push their agendas on us. They are holding americans hostage with their pork filled urgent stimulus bills. They are black mailing the president (ultimately all Americans). They want to record everything and edit and twist what they want too. They cry that he isn't doing anything. What ever he says or does it is wrong. This is not a democrat or republican issue. The antics of the democrats are a disgrace to this country.12 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Justin Osean

Forgive student loan debt for doctors, nurses, and health professionalsHealth professionals carry crushing loads of student debt, from tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars. Now they are like soldiers in war, saving lives while risking their own and protecting the rest of us, and many have already died while doing their duty. Without the debt burden more would work in lower-paying specialties like family practice, or in underserved rural and urban areas. Society would benefit both in health and economically for many years to come, just as America benefited from the GI Bill.541,234 of 600,000 SignaturesCreated by Consuelo Lopez-Morillas

Federal government stop child support intercept doing the Coronavirus pandemicHow can the federal government hold this check from those who owe back child support? I am affected just as much if not worse than many other Americans that the check will be sent to because my hours are cut and they are still taking current and arrears from my check leaving me with little to nothing. I am getting the feeling our government believes those who owe back support do not need shelter, food, clothing, or money to survive. Just a job. What do I do when that’s taken completely away from me by this virus. Who do I have to depend on? Why am I paying taxes to a government that abandons me when I’m in trouble?5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Robert Peacock

Airlines need to issue refunds on all airline tickets purchased to use in 2020 due to Covid-19The stimulus package gave a lot to the airlines, and us Americans cannot travel anytime soon. The vouchers are only good from issue date for one year and doesn’t leave enough time to know whether it is safe to travel or not. Americans are in a financial crisis, the refunds can go towards our bills. Why do we have to loose money on tickets we would enjoy to use if this Pandemic wasn’t here!!!3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by MaryAnn Lucas
