Enough is EnoughWe've had enough of Trump's lies, his racist behavior, his archaic attitude toward gays, his inaction with Russia, his attitude towards climate change, his abuse of women, his stance on responsible gun reform, and his erosion of the democratic process.53 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Everyone

Stop Gun Violence Now!This petition is about creating change in the way that people have access to guns by reforming the laws that regulate the sales of guns. As of February 28th 2018, there have already been 18 school shootings in the United States, with the most recent being in Parkland Florida where 17 were killed. School is meant to be a safe place for children, not a place of fear. It is where you send your child to learn , and not to get hurt. We must do something about these terrible tragedies. Parents send their kids to school now actually worried about the possible threat of a shooting. By signing this petition you are asking our legislators to take action on the the proposals above. So please consider this letter and sign below to protect the next generations of kids.48 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Allie Miner

Tell the Senate: Cut Off U.S. Support for the Saudi War in YemenFor three years, the United States has been enabling Saudi Arabia’s brutal campaign driving more than 8 million Yemenis to the brink of famine. Our government gives Saudi Arabia bombs and planes. Our troops even deliver fuel to Saudi jets in midair while they conduct bombings. Now, Vermont progressive Senator Bernie Sanders and constitutional conservative Senator Mike Lee of Utah have introduced a bipartisan resolution to cut off U.S. support for this illegal war. Bernie’s resolution is our best chance to end America’s role in triggering this unconscionable, man-made crisis. And because this resolution declares that the war in Yemen violates the Constitution, it’s guaranteed a vote on the Senate floor within days. Urge your senators to vote YES on the Sanders-Lee resolution and cut off U.S. support for Saudi Arabia’s brutal war in Yemen.259 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Stephen Miles

Amendment to Pardoning Power for the POTUSFear for the justice and integrity of our country, and the potential threat to our Democracy, to allow the POTUS the Power to Pardon when he/she is under legal investigation. Pardoning Power given to a potential criminal, and allowed to be used, interferes with the due process of the law and with the truth surfacing.32 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Roni C. Ashford

Use Economic Pressure to Change State Gun LawsA boycott movement has begun as major companies are cutting ties with the NRA in response to the change in climate created by the passion of the surviving children of Parkland. Progressive groups can support this effort by taking their conventions and events to states where common-sense gun laws facilitate safety. I have not been personally affected by the issue other than as a mother/grandmother horrified by the gun-violence carnage in the U.S.136 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Carolyn Ekedahl

Let's Upgrade The Face Of Mattapan!!We are starting this petition because we grew up in the Mattapan area and growing up, we always felt that it has been left in the back seat - especially in comparison to other Boston neighborhoods. We believe that opening up a Wing Stop in the area would greatly enhance its economic and aesthetic value. After all, there's heavy foot traffic, affordable public transportation, and new development in the area!14 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Karcel Eveillard

Texas - Take Domestic Violence and Rape SeriouslyI am a victim of rape and abuse, and my attacker, though he confessed his crimes and was found guilty in court, did not spend one day in jail but rather was placed on probation. I must face my abuser weekly to hand over my one-year-old son, wondering if he will return unharmed. The state did nothing to help me. They gladly gave this proven-in-court-felon even more power over both my baby and me. They also forced me to change my son's surname from mine to that of my rapist's and abuser's. This is effecting women and children all over Texas, and it needs to stop!5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Chloe Ellen Savage

Withdraw nomination of anti-LGBT lawyer Gordon Giampietro!One in three of Trump's judicial nominees have an explicit anti-LGBT record and Mr. Giampietro is just the latest to get caught red-handed voicing his bigotry on air. This type of prejudice and bias have no place in our federal courts. The vitriolic and incendiary anti-LGBT rhetoric from Giampietro captured in the recordings, while shocking and disturbing, is unfortunately par for the course with respect to many of the judicial nominees coming out of this White House. In addition, Giampietro has made disturbing comments in blog posts about what he calls a "racial spoils system;" writing about the Civil Rights Act of 1964, he claimed that "calls for diversity" are "code for relaxed standards." He has also said in interviews that he, "grew up next to lawyers, architects and crack dealers...The common denominator [he] saw was that the children who succeeded in Washington, [DC] were in private schools, and the children who turned out to be criminals were in public schools." Even if it is becoming commonplace, we must never accept this discriminatory and divisive as worthy of a federal judge.13,458 of 15,000 SignaturesCreated by Ian Wilhite
