Maryland: Pass the Presidential Candidate Tax Transparency ActPresident Trump has decided that his personal interests supercede the right of the American people to know whether he or his business interests have conducted any illegal business with entities or individuals connected to governments or illegal cartels hostile to the interests of the United States. The Presidential Candidate Tax Transparency Act requires certain candidates for President or Vice President of the United States to file copies of certain federal income tax returns and written consent for the disclosure of those federal income tax returns with the State Board of Elections no later than 65 days before a presidential general election; requiring the State Board to make federal income tax returns filed by candidates for President or Vice President of the United States publicly available on the State Board's website; etc.192 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Robert Cashman

No More Pedestrian Deaths in City HeightsOn January 31st at 6:20 pm, my sister, Maricela Barajas, was run over while crossing the street at the crosswalk. She was pronounced brain-dead on 02/01/18. This is an extremely busy intersection with a light right after the crosswalk and drivers only pay attention to the light and don’t notice pedestrians crossing on the crosswalk. The city needs to revisit this intersection and make it safe for the residents.155 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Daniel Barajas

Release the Democrats' intel memoThe Report by Chairman Nunes of the House Intelligence Committee has been responded to by the Minority. This memo makes allegations that are both incomplete and inaccurate and need to be properly responded to by Speaker Ryan allowing the release of the Minority Response to this memo.34 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Michael Steiner

Remove Devin Nunes from Intelligence CommitteeMoments ago, and with Donald Trump’s approval, the so-called “Nunes memo” -- a cherry-picked and misleading document commissioned by House Intelligence Chairman Rep. Devin Nunes -- was released publicly. We read it so you don’t have to -- and this memo is obviously a partisan hack job, meant to derail Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Donald Trump’s campaign. It echoes far-right claims that the Russia probe is a vast Deep State conspiracy to take down Trump -- but as is now abundantly clear, this memo an obvious effort to thwart the real and necessary work to discover the truth behind Russia’s attack on our democracy, how to prevent it from happening again, and who to hold accountable. Devin Nunes has aided and abetted President Trump’s effort to sow misinformation and distrust in the Russia investigations. Now he is leading the Intelligence Committee’s gross politicization of a grave rule-of-law matter for partisan gain. His continued chairmanship is a damning indictment of Speaker Ryan and an affront to our values. Add your name to demand his removal today.34,312 of 35,000 SignaturesCreated by Common Cause

100% Clean Energy for California: Pass SB100!Current California law requires 50% renewables by 2030. We can do better and do it faster by passing Senate Bill 100. It's waiting for action in the Assembly. SB 100 will bring us 50% renewable energy by 2026. It will bring us 60% renewable energy by 2030. And it will bring us 100% zero-carbon energy by 2045. These goals are scientifically achievable. All that's needed is the political will in Sacramento. The vast majority of Californians favor a target of 100% renewable energy. It's time for our legislators to act.339 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Alan Weiner

Release The Second MemoTrump and members of the Republican House and Senate have been looking for a way to shut down the Mueller Investigation. Rep. David Nunes tried to help Trump early last year when he took information that should have gone through the House Intelligence Committee directly to Trump instead. He was asked to recuse himself from the investigation, but claims it wasn't official. Nunes found a new path to help Trump by responding to his request to investigate the FBI. Nunes started his investigation a month ago, and using classified information from the FBI, he and his staff wrote a four page memo accusing the FBI of illegally obtaining information that lead to the arrest of former Trump campaign advisor, Carter Page. This would undermine the investigation and give Trump the pass he's been looking for and a reason to fire Mueller. The Democrats are angry that the memo, in their view, cherry picks facts to paint the FBI in an unfairly negative light. They say Republicans are essentially using the document to discredit the probe into the Trump campaign and ignoring information that is unhelpful to them. The Democrats wrote a rebuttal memo, but the Republicans refuse to release it. Although both memos have been placed online for the public to read, it's still not enough. We need the SECOND memo to be included in the official record. We need the Democrats to choose the path of Resistance by taking to the floor to read the memo outloud thus entering it into record. This would show the Republicans they will not sit by and let them run over the rule of law. NOW IS THE TIME TO RELEASE THE SECOND MEMO. The speech or debate clause of the Constitution (Article I, Section 6, Clause 1) provides that “for any Speech or Debate in either House, [members of Congress] shall not be questioned in any other Place.” An unbroken two-centuries-old tradition has rightfully interpreted this provision as forbidding prosecution or lawsuits against a legislator for speeches made on the floor or in committee. This gives anyone who reads classified information into record no matter the content immunity from prosecution. If the second memo releases classified or damaging information on any one in the Trump campaign, including Trump and members of his family, and it's the most guaranteed way to keep the investigation unencumbered, then so be it. Rep. Schiff, Rep. Pelosi, and Senator Schumer, we need you to be strong and bold right now. We are concerned as you are that this kind of reckless exposure could create a dangerous and harmful precedent for the future. We need to believe and trust in the FBI and DOJ to lawfully conduct investigations and do what's best for our country. Don't let ignorance and arrogance be the downfall of our checks and balances, our DEMOCRACY. TAKE TO THE FLOOR AND RELEASE THE SECOND MEMO!!38 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Queen Jackson

LGBTQ Equal Employment ActWhile I have not personally been affected by this issue, many of my closest friends are part of the LGBTQ community. I believe they deserve equal rights under the law, and should not be discriminated against simply because of their sexual orientation. Arizona should catch up to the 21st century and pass common-sense human right legislation so nobody in the LGBTQ community can be discriminated against for one identifying factor.147 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Tyler Adams
