Stop the Trump/Putin Working Group on CybersecurityI am concerned that the Working Group on Cybersecurity that Trump has formed by agreement with Vladimir Putin will work to facilitate hacking of future U.S. elections. It certainly will not accomplish deterrence of future Russian attacks. That requires strong actions. It may well serve as a conduit for providing Putin with data and information that can facilitate future cyberattacks. Congress has to put a stop to this.76 of 100 SignaturesCreated by David Driesen

Costco: Stop Torturing Baby Pigs!Despite Costco's commitment to end the use of cruel gestation crates by 2017, a recent open rescue investigation into a Costco supplier revealed most mother pigs trapped in tiny gestation crates, unable to assist as their babies were slowly dying. Furthermore, activists found dying baby pigs piled up inside crowded farrowing crates, covered in blood and excrement, and up to 1/3 of them will die before even reaching slaughter. Shockingly, piglets whose mothers are mutilated by years of abuse are sometimes forced to drink their mother's blood in order to survive.4,067 of 5,000 SignaturesCreated by Direct Action Everywhere

Cancer patients should not live in poverty due to the disease.People I know have cancer, cannot work because of chemo side effects, have spent their savings, sold their property, and may become homeless. Their friends' help has reached its limits. Taxing the cannabis industry to relieve the financial cruelty of cancer.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jerry Colburn

Retract Your Request to Phase Out the DACA ProgramI affirm that Arkansans stand WITH, not against, the approximately 8,000 Arkansan youth who have already received or will soon be eligible for DACA. The phasing out of the DACA program would have detrimental, negative effects on our communities as well as our Arkansas economy, which has benefited from the skills and talents of these bi-cultural, bi-literate individuals as well as the additional tax, consumption, loan and entrepreneurial/ innovation revenue that our DACAmented have brought to our state. Arkansas is a state that believes in enabling the potential of all its children, including our DREAMers, because when we hold back some of our youth, we hold back ALL of our youth. The Supreme Court has already ruled on the legality of the original 2012 DACA program, and I do not want to see our state or nation go down this road again. Arkansas WANTS to see DACA further renewed and expanded, NOT terminated.2,810 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Arkansas United Community Coalition

Recall LA's 15th District Councilman Joe BuscainoJoe has allowed critical vehicular traffic lanes to be converted to mostly unused bike lanes in San Pedro, creating excessive gridlock where once there was a smooth flow of traffic. Numerous complaints from impacted citizens consistently fall on deaf ears. He does not listen to complaints and has insulated himself from virtually any contact with his constituency. Inappropriate, unwanted bike lanes recently inflicted on Playa Del Rey are being dismantled after public outcry. We deserve better, an elected representative who will serve the constituency instead of his own ends.281 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Joseph Lanning

Don't Assist the Trump-Kobach Voter Suppression CommissionDonald Trump created the"Commission on Election Integrity" to legitimize his lies about voter fraud, and to advance Republican efforts to suppress the votes of people of color, young people and others. Trump named Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, the leader in the national vote suppression effort, to serve as vice chair, alongside Vice President Mike Pence. Now Kobach has asked states to submit personal information on every voter to his commission. There’s every reason to suspect that Kobach aims to nationalize his “Crosscheck” program, which has been used in several states to disqualify large numbers of eligible voters on pretextual grounds. Hacking of the data also poses a massive privacy risk and, according to Michael Chertoff, secretary of Homeland Security in the Bush administration, a national security risk, as well. While some states have already stood up to Trump’s sham commission, many have agreed to partially comply. We need each and every state to reject this unprecedented request entirely.71 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Courtney Fuller

Governors: Protect 800,000 from deportation. Defend DACA now!On June 29, 2017 Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, along with 9 other Republican attorneys general from Alabama, Arkansas, Idaho, Kansas, Louisiana, Nebraska, South Carolina, Tennessee and West Virginia, as well as the Governor of Idaho, sent a letter to U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions calling for the Secretary of Homeland Security to phase out the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). In their ultimatum to the Trump Administration, the attorneys general present two options: get rid of DACA or they will fight to destroy it in the courts. The letter goes on to state that the Trump Administration has until September 5th, 2017 to begin the phase-out of DACA: halting the renewal and issuing of new DACA or expanded DACA permits and calling for an ultimate end to the program. If the administration does not act on the letter’s demand, the attorneys general will expand the lawsuit they used to end DAPA (a sister program meant to protect Dreamers' parents and family members) to now add a challenge to DACA. This is a serious threat for hundreds of thousands of young immigrants, and it will take all of us raising our voices together to begin to turn the tide. DACA has allowed hundreds of thousands of qualified immigrant youth to gain legal protection, go to college, and support their families and communities. While Trump vowed he would leave Dreamers and DACA alone, a handful of states have now threatened to sue to try to end it themselves. As a DACA recipient myself, I believe in our power when we stand together. A handful of cynical Republicans want to trade our dignity and respect for cheap political points, but I am hopeful that our community and our allies will have our back. The first step in this fight is to ask Governors from every state to come out publicly defending -- instead of destroying -- DACA. They can use their power to make a strong case for why DACA is worth saving, but they need to hear from us that this is a critical priority.36,043 of 40,000 SignaturesCreated by United We Dream

Senator Schumer: STOP the Dirty Energy Bill!Mitch McConnell wants to push a disastrous dirty energy bill through Congress – and the vote could happen in a matter of days. This bill would keep us addicted to fossil fuels and be a disaster for people and the planet. Locking in dependence on fossil fuels for decades to come would critically undermine efforts to prevent the worst impacts of climate change. Passing a bill to accelerate approval of fracked-gas exports and give FERC more authority to rubber-stamp pipeline approvals puts us on a collision course for disaster. We need to STOP this bill and push for a rapid transition to 100% renewable energy instead. Demand that Senator Schumer uses his power as the Senate Minority Leader to stop this terrible bill.443 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Miranda Carter, Food & Water Watch

Do not repeal the Michigan Firework Act of 2011We believe the current law for fireworks should remain as is. 3 days out of the year we are allowed to celebrate our independence. There are people trying to get the act repealed and we don't agree with that. If you repeal this law, we will also lose all the revenue created by it. People will go out of state to spend their money on fireworks. It personally affects me because we should all have the right to celebrate our independence. We all try to abide by the laws for the times we can light them and safety. Please do not repeal the Act.19 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Yolanda Gonzalez

Michigan Secretary of State Ruth Johnson: Refuse to turn over all voter data from the citizens of...I feel concerned about the fact that voter data is being requested from all 50 states when we have not secured our election system from hacking by foreign entities. Therefore, Michigan's Secretary of State should refuse to give any voter data to the federal government.247 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Tobi Russell
