Sign the petition: Term limits for the Supreme Court now!

[Daily Kos Campaigns]( Here are some of the most popular and time-sensitive petitions from Daily Kos, the largest online gathering space for progressives. - [Sign the petition: Term limits for the Supreme Court now!]( TARGET: Congress The Supreme Court Tenure Establishment and Retirement Modernization (TERM) Act of 2023 has been introduced in Congress. The TERM Act would introduce fixed 18-year terms for current and future Supreme Court justices and establish regular nominations of justices in the first and third years of each presidential term–a necessary, fair, and accountable reform to the judicial system. - [Sign the petition: Justices Alito and Thomas must recuse themselves from cases related to Jan. 6]( TARGET: U.S. Supreme Court We must demand accountability from those who hold the highest offices in our land. Justices Alito and Thomas' actions and conflicts of interest warrant their recusal from any cases involving Donald Trump and January 6. The credibility of our judicial system is at stake. - [Sign the petition: Close the gun show loophole and ban assault weapons]( TARGET: President Biden and Congress The Biden administration has proposed a groundbreaking rule that promises to enhance the safety of our communities by expanding background checks for firearm purchases, including at gun shows and online sales. However, to truly improve our safety, this initiative must be coupled with an unequivocal ban on assault weapons–something which requires congressional action. - [Daily Kos needs to raise $88,321 to close the books on May. Can you donate $5 right now?]( - [Sign the petition: Dissolve the National Rifle Association]( TARGET: NY Attorney General The NRA is corrupt. Under Wayne LaPierre's leadership, the NRA misused millions of dollars of charitable funds, leading to LaPierre’s resignation and a court ordering him to pay back nearly $4.4 million. This is the tip of a pattern of corruption that has plagued the NRA for years. - [Sign the petition: Judge Aileen Cannon must recuse herself from Trump’s case]( TARGET: Judge Aileen Cannon Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee, has been assigned to oversee the case involving Donald Trump's mishandling (aka stealing) of classified documents. Judge Cannon has already shown her bias over and over, ruling in Trump's favor, causing major trial delays, and raising serious questions about her impartiality. - [Sign the petition: Ratify the Equal Rights Amendment]( TARGET: Congress The ERA–an amendment to the U.S. Constitution designed to guarantee equal legal rights for all American citizens, regardless of sex–can still happen. It was passed through Congress with well over the required two-thirds majority vote and sent to the states in 1972. Virginia voted to become the 38th state to adopt the amendment in 2020, the last needed to meet the three-quarter state ratification requirement. However, prior to ratification, Congress set an arbitrary deadline for states’ ratification votes. As a result, the ERA’s ratification was blocked. Right now, Congress can pass resolutions to remove the deadline, certify the ERA, and send it to the archivist to publish it as the 28th Amendment. - [Speaker Jeffries sounds nice, right? Dems need five seats to make that happen, and there 16 Republicans in Biden district. Donate $1 to each now.]( - [Sign the petition to Robert F. Kennedy Jr: Drop out]( TARGET: RFK Jr. 'Nuff said. - [Sign the petition: Elect the president by national popular vote]( TARGET: All U.S. states that have not yet joined the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact Maine has recently joined the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC)--an agreement between states to award their electoral votes to whichever presidential candidate wins the most votes nationally. Eighteen states and the District of Columbia have joined the NPVIC, with a combined 209 electoral votes. The agreement will go into effect once states and territories with a combined total of 270 electoral votes have joined the compact. We are calling on all remaining states to join the compact for a truly fair and representative democracy. - [Sign the petition: Stand against Abbott’s disregard for justice and equality]( TARGET: Gov. Greg Abbott Gov. Greg Abbott's tenure has been marked by support for discriminatory laws against LGBTQ+ individuals, draconian abortion restrictions, racist and dangerous immigration policies, and lax gun control measures that compromise public safety. Abbott’s actions are disgraceful, violent, and a dangerous. - [Ready for the warmer weather? We sure are with these snazzy Daily Kos t-shirts—get yours now!]( - [Sign the petition to Congress: Do everything you can to fight voter suppression]( TARGET: Congress Equal opportunity to vote and participate in our democracy is a fundamental right. Congress has a duty to uphold this freedom by passing legislation that will reinforce and expand the Voting Rights Act. - [Sign the petition: Protect and expand Social Security by taxing the rich]( TARGET: Congress We must protect and expand Social Security in order to ensure full benefits for all Americans, and pay for it by requiring millionaires and billionaires to contribute their fair share. - [Sign to take the pledge: The GOP is purging voters across the country. I will check my voter registration and spread the word]( TARGET: Everyone you know The GOP is purging voters. This is a heads up, a red alert, a “tell everyone you know” call to action. It’s time to check our registrations ahead of the election so we have access to our vote. Then, it’s time to tell our family, friends, and communities to do the same. - [Sign the petition to Congress: Pass the Corporate Tax Dodging Prevention Act now]( TARGET: Congress Congress must put the interests of working Americans ahead of billionaires and corporations. It’s past time for ultra-rich corporations to pay what they owe in taxes, just like everyone else. - [Sign the petition: No one is above the law]( TARGET: U.S. Judicial System Democracy demands accountability. State and federal authorities can and must act swiftly to hold Trump accountable for his crimes and other attacks on our democracy and elections. We must make clear that no one, not even a former president, is above the law. - [Signatures needed: I pledge to Get Out the Vote for Democrats in 2024]( TARGET: Everyone you know! With so much at stake this election, and so few votes determining the outcome, we need willing Democrats and progressives to spend a few hours of their time between now and November writing postcards and sending letters to prospective voters in swing states who lean Democratic but who don’t always turn out to vote. We need you to drop prospective voters a quick note, urging them to cast a ballot this November given everything that is at stake.
