Sign the petition: Marjorie Taylor Greene must be removed from U.S. House committees

[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: Marjorie Taylor Greene must be removed from U.S. House committees]( Sign the petition: Marjorie Taylor Greene must be removed from U.S. House committees TARGET: Congress Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has called for a “national divorce” between red and blue states—in other words, she endorsed the dissolution of the United States. Meanwhile, as a member of the House Homeland Security Committee, she is privy to sensitive information and makes decisions about our national security. - [Sign the petition: Impeach Justice Clarence Thomas]( Sign the petition: Impeach Justice Clarence Thomas TARGET: Congress Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has concealed decades of lavish trips paid for by a major GOP donor. This is likely illegal, and is yet another example of Thomas’ compromised behavior. He must be impeached immediately in order to maintain any impartiality in the highest court of the land. - [Sign the petition: Denounce Governor Greg Abbott and GOP-sanctioned violence.]( Sign the petition: Denounce Governor Greg Abbott and GOP-sanctioned violence. A Texas jury voted to convict Daniel Perry, the U.S. Army Sergeant who shot and killed Black Lives Matter protester Garrett Foster in the summer of 2020. Now, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott wants to pardon Daniel Perry—which is disgraceful, violent, and a danger to our democracy and freedom to protest. The Republican Party is now actively engaging in political violence. - [Our readers and activists donating a few dollars at a time is what keeps Daily Kos operating. Can you support Daily Kos and donate $3?]( - [Sign the petition: Denounce fascism in state governments]( Sign the petition: Denounce fascism in state governments Tennessee Republicans expelled 2 Democratic lawmakers (and almost expelled a third) for going up to the podium without being recognized, and leading protesters in a “gun reform now” chant after the Nashville school shooting that killed three 9-year-old children and three adults. This is a dangerous trend. - [Sign the petition: Don’t militarize our schools]( Sign the petition: Don’t militarize our schools TARGET: All lawmakers After the Covenant School shooting that left 3 children and 3 adults dead, Tennessee and federal lawmakers have introduced legislation to bring more guns into schools by arming teachers and proposing an increase in school police. This is a terrible idea that must stop immediately. - [Sign the petition: Elect the president by national popular vote]( Sign the petition: Elect the president by national popular vote TARGET: Michigan, Minnesota & all state governments In a democracy, the person who receives the most votes should win. That’s why we must elect our president by national popular vote. 15 states and the District of Columbia have already joined the National Popular Vote interstate compact, and now we have bills going through the state legislatures in Michigan & Minnesota. - [Take Action: No Guns on College Campuses]( Take Action: No Guns on College Campuses TARGET: Congress There is an epidemic of gun violence in the United States. Sadly, too many students have found themselves on the front lines of those tragedies.

When Senate Republicans wanted to ram through court appointments during the Trump era (which drastically changed our courts), they canceled the August recess. It is time for Democrats to return the favor. - [Sign the petition: Denounce Gov. Ron DeSantis & Florida Republicans]( Sign the petition: Denounce Gov. Ron DeSantis & Florida Republicans TARGET: Ron DeSantis Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis wants to be president in 2024 and has done all he can to inherit, capitalize on, and politicize Donald Trump’s platform. He is viewed as a more palatable Donald Trump, when in fact, DeSantis simply used Trump as a stepping stone to catapult his authoritarian, far right-wing agenda. - [Sign the petition to the DOJ: Investigate the expulsion of Tennessee state lawmakers]( Sign the petition to the DOJ: Investigate the expulsion of Tennessee state lawmakers TARGET: U.S. Department of Justice Removing Tennessee state Reps. Jones and Pearson from the House was an unprecedented overreach that denied thousands of Tennesseans their voice in the legislature. And it may have also violated the U.S. Constitution or federal civil rights laws. The Justice Department must investigate. - [Independent abortion clinics need our support more than ever after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Chip in $3 to help build foundations for abortion access across the country.]( - [Sign the petition: Protect and expand abortion rights at the state level]( Sign the petition: Protect and expand abortion rights at the state level TARGET: All state leaders After the Supreme Court overturned Roe v.

Daily Kos has identified 23 states where the voters can affirmatively put abortion rights in their state constitution. - [Sign the petition: Demand Jeff Bezos testify in Congress]( Sign the petition: Demand Jeff Bezos testify in Congress TARGET: Senate HELP Committee On March 29, Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz was grilled by Bernie Sanders and the rest of the US Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee about Starbucks’ repeated union-busting and intimidation tactics. That’s a great start – and now, it’s Jeff Bezos' turn. Amazon has also been repeatedly found guilty of violating labor laws. - [Sign if you agree: Conviction or not, Trump must be disqualified from public office]( Sign if you agree: Conviction or not, Trump must be disqualified from public office Regardless of the latest indictment, Donald Trump cannot run for president. Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution says no person may serve in elected office if they "engaged in insurrection or rebellion" against the U.S. government. Trump's involvement on January 6th is enough to have him disqualified. - [Sign the petition to Speaker McCarthy & House Republicans: Back off our benefits!]( Sign the petition to Speaker McCarthy & House Republicans: Back off our benefits! TARGET: House Republicans Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, the Affordable Care Act, and SNAP provide safety and security for the millions of seniors, families, and veterans who rely on these benefits to retire, access health care, and feed their families. Speaker McCarthy and the House Majority are threatening to force a catastrophic economic default unless their extreme demands to gut these overwhelmingly popular and hard-earned benefits are met. - [Tennessee Republicans expelled two Black Democratic state representatives for protesting for gun control. Donate $1 each to five progressive TN-based groups defending democracy.]( - [Sign the petition: Pass the Johnson-Murphy Supreme Court Ethics Act]( Sign the petition: Pass the Johnson-Murphy Supreme Court Ethics Act TARGET: Congress Public trust in the Supreme Court is already at an all time low. The Court has pursued a right-wing agenda, regularly ignoring long-standing precedents, such as in its overturning of Roe v. Wade. Following the revelations about the ethics violations of Justice Thomas and Chief Justice Roberts, the Supreme Court must be made to follow basic ethics standards. - [Sign the petition: Stop Mitch McConnell's undemocratic court blockade]( Sign the petition: Stop Mitch McConnell's undemocratic court blockade Senator Dianne Feinstein is out due to illness, leaving Democrats one seat short on the Judiciary Committee. She has asked to have another Senate Democrat temporarily replace her, a pro forma request that would have been typically honored in the past. But McConnell wants to block all of President Biden's judicial nominees and grind business to a halt. This is Merrick Garland 2.0. - [Sign and send to Congress: Enough is enough. Pass gun safety laws now.]( Sign and send to Congress: Enough is enough. Pass gun safety laws now. TARGET: Congress As of April 18, at least 5,358 Americans have died from gun violence in 2023, and another 7,128 have died by suicide. By the time you read this, the country's gun-related death toll will be higher. Thoughts and prayers cannot replace action. For this epidemic to end, Congress must intervene.
