Sign the petition: Elect the president by national popular vote

[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: 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. - [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: 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. - [2023 has gotten off to a rough financial start for Daily Kos. Can you help by donating $3 a month starting now?]( - [Sign if you agree: Fox News is a waste of brain cells]( Sign if you agree: Fox News is a waste of brain cells We all know that Fox News lies, distorts and manipulates to serve a right-wing agenda. Now, Fox has had to pay a $787.5 million settlement to Dominion Voting Systems for repeatedly airing allegations that the company's voting machines were rigged to doom Trump’s 2020 reelection campaign while knowing they were untrue. Friends don't let friends watch Fox News. - [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: 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: 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. - [Doesn't matter if you're a coffee or tea person, whatever you're drinking tastes better out of a Daily Kos mug. Get yours now!]( - [Sign the petition: Investigate electeds who may be constitutionally disqualified from holding office]( Sign the petition: Investigate electeds who may be constitutionally disqualified from holding office Section 3 of the 14th Amendment is clear: No elected official who previously swore an oath to the U.S. Constitution may serve if they "engaged in insurrection or rebellion" against the United States. That's not a matter of opinion or political preference, it's what the Constitution says. - [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. - [Sign the petition: No cuts to Social Security or raises on retirement age!]( Sign the petition: No cuts to Social Security or raises on retirement age! TARGET: U.S. Congress Social Security is a crucial lifeline for millions of Americans who rely on it for their financial well-being in retirement. We demand that our elected officials stand up for the well-being of all Americans and reject any proposals that would cut Social Security benefits or raise the retirement age. - [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. - [Sign and send the petition: No cruel cuts. Pass a clean funding bill.]( Sign and send the petition: No cruel cuts. Pass a clean funding bill. TARGET: Congress Our debt limit was reached in January, and the federal government may run out of money in the summer. But rather than pass a clean funding bill to extend the debt limit and avert fiscal calamity, House Republicans are still demanding awful cuts and irrelevant policy changes. This is a right-wing fantasy that could never pass under normal circumstances. It must not even pass a Republican-controlled U.S. House. - [The Republican fixation on transgender children is causing displacement, poor mental health, and more. Chip in $3 to help us fight anti-trans legislation]( - [Sign if you agree: Marijuana pardon applications must be automated]( Sign if you agree: Marijuana pardon applications must be automated TARGET: U.S. Justice Department President Biden’s pardon for marijuana offenses is a step in the right direction, but the hours-long process to request a pardon is a barrier to those most in need of relief. Attorney General Merrick Garland has the authority to automate this system, just like many states and localities that have already done the same. - [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 the petition: Senate must cancel August recess to confirm judges]( Sign the petition: Senate must cancel August recess to confirm judges TARGET: Senate Democrats The U.S. Senate is not confirming Biden-appointed judges fast enough. 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: 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. Wade, abortion is now illegal in 13 states—and states like Florida are passing a draconian six-week ban. Daily Kos has identified 23 states where the voters can affirmatively put abortion rights in their state constitution. - [Tell Congress to pass the Environmental Justice For All Act]( Tell Congress to pass the Environmental Justice For All Act TARGET: Congress Everyone should have the right to clear air, safe drinking water and a healthy environment that enriches their life. But due to pollution from the fossil fuel industry and other industries, that's not currently the case. The Environmental Justice For All Act will make sure the same destruction that’s been perpetrated against poor communities and communities of color for decades doesn’t happen again. - [Republican voter suppression is a fundamental attack on democracy.
