Investigate the Trump Administration's Coronavirus Corruption and MismanagementThe coronavirus outbreak is already putting a strain on health systems, disrupting public life, and impacting people across the country. As holder of the highest office in the land, Donald Trump should be doing whatever he can to ensure public health. But he's done just the opposite: Instead of looking out for our safety, Trump has consistently prioritized protecting corporate profits over fighting the outbreak. The number of missteps and the level of corruption in the administration's coronavirus response are staggering. From hiring a drug company executive and medicine price gouger as Secretary of Health and Human Services, to resisting making treatments affordable, Trump is looking out for the bottom line of corporations, not public health. Enough is enough. Congress must step in and investigate how Donald Trump’s loyalty to corporate CEOs over working families is putting lives at risk. Here's just some of what we've learned over the past couple of weeks: First, The Washington Post reported that Trump's main concern has been the falling stock market. He's even urged his aides not to make any comments that might negatively impact stocks--potentially causing top officials to withhold critical information from the public. Then, Trump's appointed secretary of health and human services, Alex Azar—a former pharma executive—refused to commit to compelling pharmaceutical companies to ensure that any future vaccine would be affordable. Azar has a history of price gouging: While he was president of Eli Lily, the cost of the company's life saving insulin drug tripled. Now, reports show that the coronavirus funding package was actually a giant giveaway to drug companies, which failed to guarantee fair pricing for new treatments. Just as he’s done time and time again, Trump is showing whose side he’s really on—that of corporations and the wealthy—and once again, it’s having a potentially devastating impact on people and families across the country. And what we know publicly so far could just be the tip of the iceberg. Given Trump's record, it's likely that there's even more corruption and mismanagement waiting to be uncovered. Congress has the opportunity to publicly expose all of this, but it may not happen if we don’t urge them to take action. Sign the petition and demand that Congress investigate Trump’s botched coronavirus response.20,830 of 25,000 SignaturesCreated by Mohammad Khan, MoveOn Civic Action

Better Measures for the Coronavirus Emergency to protect PeopleBy allowing workers to stay home without fear of being unable to make rent and allowing people to buy health insurance, EVERYONE will be better off as it will help slow the spread of the virus. Also, if more people get health insurance, the insurance pool will be bigger, and presumably younger people who opted not to get insurance will be motivated to get covered.169 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Melissa Freedman

Taking Action Against Food WasteAccording to northwestharvest.org, 1 in 10 people struggle with hunger, and 1 in 8 people (half of which are children) rely on food stamps. Meanwhile, Washingtonians are throwing out eight percent of edible food (data taken by your site, The Washington Department of Ecology). Food that could ultimately help these people eat every night. By requiring grocery stores to donate food they would throw away, we would reduce food waste and feed those who are struggling to feed themselves.42 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Emma Hess

Public Health Info Should Be Free: Remove Paywalls from Coronavirus ArticlesPreventing transmission of the novel coronavirus is an urgent public health issue. Access to information on this rapidly evolving situation is essential to individual and community safety. Keeping vital information behind a paywall prevents nonsubscribers from accessing important information, and it disproportionately affects people with fewer financial resources. The Seattle Times recently announced that it would allow unlimited public access to stories about the virus. Other major newspapers should follow their lead for the safety of the public. [1] To give a sense of the scope of information being held back, Harvard epidemiologist Dr. Eric Feigl-Ding analyzed reporting about coronavirus from major papers between January 1, 2020, and February 20, 2020, and found thousands of coronavirus-related articles behind paywalls at seven large papers [2]: The New York Times: 1,012 The Washington Post: 981 The Wall Street Journal: 749 Los Angeles Times: 490 The Miami Herald: 463 The Boston Globe: 340 Chicago Tribune: 292 The novel coronavirus has the potential to touch the lives of billions of people. The public must be empowered with reliable and up-to-date information in order to take practical safety measures and prevent transmission of the virus. Sharing accurate information also guards against the spread of unnecessary panic. Access to these resources is also an issue of equity -- lower income populations that are not able to afford newspaper subscriptions are excluded when paywalls lock them out. With the decline of local newspapers, information increasingly flows from national outlets. [3] Public health and awareness are at stake -- all people have a right to protect themselves, their families, and their livelihood and deserve access to high-quality reporting and insight from scientific experts.88 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Angelo Carusone, Media Matters

Band togetherWhen I look at the Democratic field I see a lot of talent and good ideas. But this positive message is lost in the bickering that makes them all so unattractive. Democrats have a mission to serve the needs of all classes, all races in this country including former Trump voters. People are tired of fighting. Give them hope and unity and a positive cohesive message.56 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Helen Gatling-Austin

Don't use the coronavirus as an excuse to reauthorize the Patriot Act!The spread of the coronavirus is a major national and global public health crisis. It should be a moment where our government works quickly and effectively to stop a pandemic. Instead, as the Intercept reported, Congressional leaders are considering adding an extremely controversial provision reauthorizing mass spying on the American people to a must-pass coronavirus spending bill. Key portions of the Patriot Act are due to expire on March 15. This includes Section 215, the notorious provision that enabled our government to conduct mass surveillance on the American people. Members of both parties in Congress have tried to prevent Section 215 from being reauthorized, so we can shut down this abusive spying for good. But Congressional leaders are strongly considering adding a reauthorization of Section 215 to the coronavirus spending bill, forcing members of Congress to choose between public health and our constitutional rights. We need to mobilize NOW and tell Congress this is an unacceptable, shady, and offensive idea. Congress needs to pass a clean coronavirus funding bill. And they need to shut down Section 215 for good.135 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Demand Progress

Use RICO to Arrest TrumpDonald Trump told Michael Cohen to make sure that the public never saw his school records and grades – because they show who and what he is. Trump is ignorant, insane, racist, demonic, and tyrannical. In “Duty to Warn,” psychologists and psychiatrists warned the world, and specifically, the USA that Trump is severely mentally ill, and unfit for public office. He is a danger to himself and others. Trump exhibits severe debilitating and defective character and personality traits. He is a serial, pathological liar. And as of 2/24/20, he has told over 16,500 lies or untruths since becoming illegitimate, fake-president of the USA. Trump is a con-man. In June of 2018, a $25 million dollar settlement was reached in the Trump University fraud case – where Trump scammed unsuspecting students out of their hard earned money. Trump is a Birther. He lies and deceives constantly. According to Tom Murse, “Trump has filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy for his companies six times. Three of the casino bankruptcies came during the recession of the early 1990s and the Gulf War, both of which contributed to hard times in Atlantic City, New Jersey's gambling facilities. He also entered a Manhattan hotel and two casino holding companies into bankruptcy.” (Tom Murse’s Article, 10/16/2019). Trump is a criminal. He is an unindicted co-conspirator in the Stormy Daniels Case, where he tried to cover-up his affair with that porn star, by making criminal, election violations payments to her. The Mueller Investigation and the Ukraine election-cheating case indicate that Trump wantonly, willfully commits crimes routinely, constantly. Trump is a traitor. He assisted, aided and abetted Vladimir Putin’s attack on the USA during the election of 2016 – and afterwards. He continues to assist Putin to this day. Consider his shameful, treasonous conduct in Helsinki, Finland, in July, 2018. Trump has destroyed the US Presidency, the DOJ, the Republican Party, and the Senate GOP. His attacks on the Judicial branch of government have been severe and unrelenting. Trump attacks African Americans, Latinos, Republicans, and Democrats; and employees of the Intelligence Community, the CIA, and the FBI. Trump is a one-man wrecking crew. Trump covered-up and obstructed the Mueller Investigation and the House Impeachment process. He tried to cheat again, and enlist Ukraine to help him in the 2020 US election. He denies that Russia helped him in 2016. Trump is the worse type of thing that has ever appeared on earth. There is no legitimate and effective US federal government in force today to check him. That’s why the Trump Crime Family walked right in and took over. Moreover, we’re in a new age, a new era since 1998, called the Second Coming – and biblical change and effects complicate matters. Trump and the Republican Party should be subject to the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act. Wherefore, we good, honorable, loyal Americans, hereby issue this Citizens Arrest Warrant for the following aberrant, treasonous criminals, to check them and hold them accountable: Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell (MoscowMitch), William Barr, Lindsey Graham, Jim Jordan, Devin Nunes, and all of the other satanic deviants.19 of 100 SignaturesCreated by James Robinson
