Demand transparency in Trump's White House

We The People deserve to know who is coming and going in the White House -- President Donald Trump’s refusal to make the White House visitor logs public casts yet another shadow over his historically anti-transparency administration. If Donald Trump won’t come clean on his own, he must be forced. Congress must pass the MAR-A-LAGO Act to make White House visitor logs public, as well as anywhere else the President conducts business.

Sign the Petition: Force House Speaker Paul Ryan to release Trump’s tax returns

The Presidential Tax Transparency Act would require Donald Trump and all future presidents and major party presidential nominees to release their tax returns for the last three years. But this bill is stuck in committee. This should not be a partisan issue. All presidents and presidential candidates for the last 40 years have released their tax returns. We call on you to sign the discharge petition that would let this legislation bypass the committee and be brought to the House floor for a vote. The American people deserve to know who President Trump owes money to, how much he pays...

Fire Sean Spicer immediately

Sean Spicer, Trump's chief spokesperson, said that Hitler "didn't even sink to using chemical weapons." Hitler murdered more than 11 million people, including 6 million Jews, many in chemical gas chambers. Spicer must resign or be fired for his false statement and continued misinformation.

#DropOReilly

Bill O'Reilly is a purveyor of sexual violence who has had to pay out over $13 million dollars to quell charges of sexual harassment. Furthermore, he has consistently used his platform to promote hateful and divisive rhetoric that attacks women, Black culture, and civil rights. It is in the best interest of your company to #DropOReilly now.

Place Emergency Checks on President Trump's Nuclear Powers

On April 7, 2017, President Trump unilaterally sent 59 Tomahawk missiles "in retaliation" for a chemical weapons assault on the people of Syria. He did so from his golf resort, while eating chocolate cake, and surrounded by political advisers - without the consent of Congress. The President took it upon himself to act, personally. He said that he acted based on his emotional reaction to seeing photographs of children and babies who died in the Syrian chemical weapons attack. His son Erik Trump reported that the President acted because his daughter was distraught after the attack. There are two problems...

Stop National Right-To-Work Act H.R. 785

“Right to work” is the name for a policy designed to take away rights from working people. Backers of right to work laws claim that these laws protect workers against being forced to join a union. The reality is that federal law already makes it illegal to force someone to join a union.

Don't let Jeff Sessions put politics before our civil rights

A group of right-wing ideologues are urging Attorney General Jeff Sessions to abandon the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division’s crucial mission to protect voting and civil rights, and to do so by making hiring and firing decisions based on on political affiliation -- not merit. We can’t let Jeff Sessions put politics before our civil and voting rights -- please add your name today.

Congress: You have the power to get Trump's taxes

The GOP-led Congress has voted up to seven times to block legislation that calls for the release of Trump's taxes since he took office! As your constituent, I demand that you vote to review Trump's taxes at every opportunity using existing authority.

STOP Bombing Muslims

Since taking office, President Donald Trump has dramatically increased U.S. military force in Muslim-majority countries, killing hundreds of civilians in Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan--where he dropped the "mother of all bombs." These deadly campaigns are counterproductive, make us less safe, and will only serve to increase terrorism recruitment and fuel unnecessary hatred toward the U.S. All people deserve to live in dignity and safety. We, the undersigned, demand an end to U.S. bombings of Muslim-majority countries!

Save AMTRAK's Long-Distance Train Service

President Trump's budget eliminates the federal funding that is necessary to keep America's trains running from coast to coast. The National Association of Railroad Passengers warns that 220 cities will lose train service under this plan. Tell Trump and Congress this is unacceptable. We should be improving our rail travel system, which is already more environmentally friendly than air or auto travel, rather than decimating it.

Suspend Jared Kushner's Interim Security Clearance

Jared Kushner failed to report dozens of meetings with foreign agents, including meetings with Russians as recently as December 2016, when completing the questionnaire required for top-secret security clearance. Not only should his interim security clearance be suspended immediately, he should also be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law since knowingly falsifying information on the questionnaire is a felonious act which carries a sentence of up to five years in prison.

Save NC Teachers - NC Senate Pass SB541 (HB-13)

The current law would put hundreds of experienced teachers and specialists out of work. Pass HB13 to fix the damage created by the current law OR fully fund the original bill to reduce class sizes and keep our specialists and electives intact

VICTORY: Tribune Papers Spared From Koch Empire

When the Tribune Company went up for sale, it was widely reported that the Koch brothers were interested in acquiring its newspapers - including the Los Angeles Times and the Chicago Tribune. The billionaire Kochs and their tea party politics presented a clear threat to independent journalism, so several organizations, including Forecast the Facts, Courage Campaign, and Working Families started MoveOn Petitions asking Tribune Company CEO Peter Liguori not to sell to the Koch brothers.
