Investigate Trump's Hush Money to Stormy DanielsThe American people have a right to know who has influence with our elected officials and we are all agree that no one, not even President Trump is above the law. Donald Trump’s attorney Michael Cohen has now admitted that he made the $130,000 payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels shortly before the 2016 election. But despite Cohen’s assertions, this admission doesn’t solve the Trump campaign’s legal problems. As Trump’s personal attorney, Cohen was an agent of then-candidate Trump. And his October 2016 payment to Daniels while she was considering going public about her affair with Trump certainly seems like an effort to influence the election in the form of hush money. The law says that any money spent to influence an election on a candidate’s behalf is an in-kind “contribution” to that candidate -- subject to a $2,700 limit and disclosure requirements, neither of which were followed here. That’s why Common Cause has filed official complaints with the DOJ and FEC -- and they must fully investigate whether the hush money paid to Stormy Daniels was an illegal in-kind contribution to the Trump campaign. We deserve to have transparency about how and where money was spent during Trump’s presidential campaign, and we need to hold our elected officials accountable to the law. Michael Cohen -- and anyone else involved in this payment -- must answer questions under oath so we can discover the full truth of what happened. And if Cohen didn’t act alone, and he coordinated this payment with Trump or any other member of his campaign, they must be held accountable for breaking the law as well.49,858 of 50,000 SignaturesCreated by Aimee Martinez, Common Cause

Tell PA Senate Leaders: Stop Protecting Gerrymandered DistrictsThe Pennsylvania Supreme Court has ruled that our state's congressional district lines are unconstitutional. This is huge! These gerrymandered districts have meant that only three of 18 U.S. House seats are actually competitive, which has made it near to impossible to hold officials accountable when they put big polluters ahead of their constituents. It’s up to the state legislature to get to work creating new maps, but instead, Senate leaders have threatened to take the case all the way to the Supreme Court. Enough is enough. Pennsylvanians deserve to be represented fairly in Congress, and these unconstitutional district lines have denied us that right. Tell Senate President Pro Tempore Joe Scarnati and Senate Majority Leader Jake Corman to let the state Supreme Court ruling stand and to draw new district lines that are fair.928 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by Conservation Voters of PA

Tell CNN to air a State of Union response from The ResistanceCoalitions of Americans have grown movements over the past decade that led to The Resistance. And women of color, who have been at the forefront of social change throughout history, are playing a key role in The Resistance, providing leadership and organizing their communities. The Resistance is a bigger and more influential than the Tea Party ever was, and in 2011, CNN broadcast the Tea Party's State of the Union response to a nationwide audience, saying, "The Tea Party has become a major force in American politics and within the Republican Party." Activists working to change America at the grassroots level should have an opportunity to respond to the President's speech. Movement leaders who have been working in the fights for racial justice, immigration justice, voting rights, LGBTQIA rights, healthcare, economic justice, and more, are ready to respond. The Resistance is not slowing down: millions of women and caring allies marched the day after the President's inauguration in 2017, and record numbers marched across the country again this month. Tell CNN and other networks to air a State of the Union response from The Resistance.51,390 of 75,000 SignaturesCreated by Shannon Watts

We the People Demand Congress Stop a Dangerously Out of Control PresidentWhile nearly 60% of Americans believe Trump to be unfit to be President, what is keeping Congress from fulfilling its Constitutional Responsibility to stop a dangerous President is the fact that virtually every Congressional Republican in both chambers continues to ignore and strive to deny the problems and dangers created by this President. They must remember that, while they represent their district or state, in a time of crisis such as today it becomes time to lead, not to follow in order to stay faithful to and to protect our nation. Here is some of the evidence of President Trump’s serious incapacities: • As commander in chief, he is derelict in his duty to lead efforts to protect the nation from serious, extensive, and prolonged cyberattacks by Russia. • He has demonstrated repeatedly that he lacks impulse control; he reacts without hesitation to every perceived insult, large or small, with outrage, vindictiveness, and disdain, without regard to consequences. • As documented by many sources, he makes countless statements that are demonstrably lies. He radically and unpredictably changes his position on issues and policy, making governing impossible.polarizing the nation. • His deep insecurity leads him repeatedly to cultivate support from racist and nationalist individuals and groups. Congress: It is time to act.191 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Rev. David E. Roy, Ph.D.

Congress: Condition Any Wall on Environmental SafeguardsThe borderlands are my home, which I happily share with members of diverse cultures and with precious threatened and endangered species. I oppose any wall, but to save this precious part of the US, at the very least any wall that is built must comply with all applicable environmental laws.62 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Myron Scott

Demand equal treatment for the children of same-sex couplesU.S.-citizen Allison Blixt and her Italian wife Stefania Zaccari have two happy, healthy sons. Stefania gave birth to their son Lucas, and Allison gave birth to their son Massi. Because Allison was born and raised in the United States, she is able to pass her citizenship on to her children even though they were born abroad. However, the State Department refused to recognize Lucas’s citizenship and denied that Lucas was her son. The State Department explicitly informed the couple that it was using a policy applicable solely to unwed mothers, even though the couple were married when Lucas was born! Andrew Dvash-Banks and his husband Elad have a similar story, except their sons also happen to be twins. One twin was recognized as a U.S. citizen and the other is living in the U.S. on a tourist visa! Join us in demanding the U.S. State Department change this discriminatory policy!
