• Is Trump cutting his own taxes? We deserve to know!
    President Donald Trump has refused to release his tax returns ever since he entered the presidential race, breaking with decades of bipartisan precedent. And there are already plenty examples of him and his family personally profiting from the presidency. That lack of basic transparency took on new meaning when Trump proposed a massive tax cut for the wealthy and corporate interests. Now, we have to judge the President’s tax plan without any idea how much it would benefit Trump himself. This is exactly why elected officials are expected to share their tax returns with the public -- so that voters can hold them accountable and evaluate conflicts of interest. But instead, Trump wants to rewrite our nation’s tax laws while keeping his own business dealings secret. Just one example -- Trump’s proposal to end the estate tax would likely save his children millions of dollars. There are countless opportunities like this in the tax code for Trump to enrich his personal wealth -- and we can’t know what they are without seeing his tax returns. Everyone has a right to know, and the right to basic transparency from the President of the United States. So before Trump moves his tax plan forward, he ought to give the public a clear picture of his background, experience, and business interests. Please add your name to demand that President Trump release his full tax returns to the American people.

  • Don’t let Trump meddle with Mueller’s investigation
    We The People must speak up right now to protect the investigation into Russia's election meddling -- and whether President Trump was involved or obstructed justice to cover it up. The President has reportedly considered whether and how to fire Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who is currently investigating him and his team. If he follows through, it'd be a shameful repeat of Nixon's Saturday Night Massacre, leading to a full-fledged constitutional crisis. Mueller is leading the FBI and Department of Justice investigation into possible illegal collusion with Russia to interfere in our elections. His job is to make sure no one – not Russia, not wealthy interests, not even the President or his family – is above the law. That’s why it’s vital that Congress act now to protect Mueller’s independence, and prevent Trump from firing him. Two bipartisan pairs of senators -- Tillis (R-NC) & Coons (D-DE) and Graham (R-SC) & Booker (D-NJ) have proposed legislation to make it harder for Trump to interfere with Mueller’s investigation, and Congress must hold a vote on them. If Donald Trump's campaign colluded with the Russian government's interference in our elections, it would shatter confidence in government, shake the foundation of our democracy, and cause a scandal that could exceed Watergate's impact on the nation. We deserve the truth. That’s why it’s time for every member of Congress to put country before party and pass legislation to protect Robert Mueller’s investigation. Add your name today.

  • Protect Medical Marijuana
    Attorney General Jeff Sessions is pressuring his allies in congress to let the Rohrabacher‐Farr amendment expire. This amendment prevents Sessions from prosecuting the medical marijuana industry. If it expires, then Mr. Sessions will have money available to order his Justice Department to conduct federal raids on medical marijuana dispensaries. You have the power to keep that money out of Mr. Session's hands! Let congress know that you want the amendment kept alive! All you have to do is sign this petition.

  • Take NRA money out of Georgia Congressional politics
    Like most Americans, as shown repeatedly in polling on the issue of gun violence, I am concerned with the continuing slaughter of innocent people in communities around my country, and I see the proliferation of guns and their increasing lethality as a major part of this problem. We ask that Rep. Karen Handel, newly elected to a position of higher responsibility, take this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to break with the gun lobby and begin with a clean slate in the difficult work of bringing this bloody business under control and making the streets, homes and citizens of our country safer for innocent Americans.

  • Representative Comstock, Return NRA Money & Commit to Taking No More
    The National Rifle Association has contributed large amounts of money to many members of Congress, including Representative Barbara Comstock. Rep. Comstock received $137232 in support from the NRA and members of its staff. The NRA's financial hold on our Congress is overwhelming, and it is one of the primary reasons why, in the wake of national tragedies, we remain unable to pass commonsense gun laws. We as Americans and as her constituents are calling on Rep. Comstock to donate the amount of money the NRA spent on her behalf and commit to not taking another cent from the NRA.

  • Tom McClintock: Return your NRA funding
    The four largest mass shootings in US history have occurred since 2007, with the two largest occurring back to back in 2016 and 2017. This means that my two year old son has lived through the two largest mass shootings in modern US history. Yet after every mass shooting no progress is made on common sense gun reform, despite the majority of American's being in support of some change. One of the reasons for this is the fact that our representatives are bought and paid for by the NRA and other special interest groups. Signing this petition will put Tom on notice that he needs to listen directly to his constituents and compromise to solve the tough challenges of our times. Doing nothing solves nothing.
