Sign the petition: Expand Social Security

[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: Expand Social Security]( TARGET: Congress Social Security is the most important source of retirement income for a vast majority of Americans. Nearly half of Americans do not have access to or have no acquired retirement savings otherwise, making Social Security even more essential to retirement security. - [Sign the petition: Protect Vote by Mail]( TARGET: State governments The right to vote—a cornerstone of our freedoms—is under attack. Mail voting offers a secure and accessible way for all Americans to participate in our democracy - [Sign the petition: Oppose Rep. Gaetz’s extreme and false Jan. 6 resolution]( TARGET: Congress Rep. Matt Gaetz has introduced a resolution in Congress stating that former President Trump did not incite an insurrection on January 6th, 2021. A violent mob attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, with the intention of stopping the legal certification of a democratic election. MAGA extremists in Congress cannot rewrite factual history. - [Ad revenue has cratered.

The right-wing is terrified. Fox News pundits have lectured Swift to stay out of politics, and their attacks have gotten truly offensive. - [Sign the petition to the Supreme Court: Protect the National Labor Relations Board]( TARGET: United States Supreme Court Trader Joe’s and Elon Musk have both been accused of unlawful, anti-union behavior by the NLRB – so now, they’re taking aim at the entire institution. In court, their lawyers have argued that their union-busting, anti-worker decisions were legal because the entire National Labor Relations Board is unconstitutional – meaning that they can’t be held accountable for their crimes. - [Sign if you agree: Elect the president by national popular vote and ensure the candidate with the most votes actually wins]( TARGET: All U.S. states that have not joined the National Popular Vote Compact Here’s how the National Popular Vote Compact works: If enough states agree to assign their Electoral College electors to the winner of the national popular vote, rather than the state’s own popular vote, we can guarantee the presidency to the candidate who receives the most popular votes nationwide, without needing to amend the Constitution. The compact won’t take effect until enough states have joined to guarantee Electoral College victory to the popular-vote winner. So far, sixteen states and D.C. have already signed on, totaling 205 Electoral College votes out of the 270 needed to secure a national popular vote victory. - [Good for the environment and the country: Carry your groceries home in our reusable, union-decorated Daily Kos bag—made in the USA!]( - [Sign the petition: The GOP must end the baseless Biden impeachment]( TARGET: House Republicans The House GOP’s “highly credible source” who served as a basis for their impeachment inquiry into President Biden has now been charged for lying and falsifying those claims against the president and his son, Hunter. This was never a serious investigation. Time for it to end. - [Sign the petition: Make the ultra-wealthy pay their fair share. Fully fund the IRS]( TARGET: Congress Ever since President Biden & Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act in 2022, the IRS has identified 1,600 taxpayers who reported over $1 million in income and had been skimping on their taxes. It's working, which is why Wall Street billionaires are using their considerable access and power to threaten IRS funding. - [Sign the petition: Protect the abortion pill]( TARGET: United States Supreme Court After reversing Roe v. Wade in 2022, the Supreme Court is now taking up a new case that will decide if and how patients can access mifepristone, the commonly used abortion pill. It could impact patients across the country, regardless of whether abortion remains legal in their state. - [Sign if you agree: Tell the SEC to re-propose Stock Buyback Disclosure Rule]( TARGET: Securities and Exchange Commisison To crack down on incentives to engage in insider trading and market manipulation, last year the SEC finalized a new disclosure rule -- which includes a requirement for companies to disclose if certain executives traded stock immediately before or after a buyback announcement -- that would have helped investors and the public gain more transparency into this opaque practice. But in December, the conservative Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, which is well-known for virtually always agreeing with the business interests that appear before it, struck down the rule. - [Sign the petition: Hold Big Fossil Fuel companies accountable]( TARGET: U.S. Department of Justice Fossil fuel companies have known about the threat of the climate crisis since the 1970s, when the industry predicted global warming with incredible accuracy. They then decided to lie for decades. The DOJ must sue the industry for violation of federal racketeering laws, truth in advertising laws, consumer protection laws, and potentially other laws. - [Sign and send the petition to your state's governor: Implement the Greenhouse Gas Emissions Rule and set ambitious goals now!]( TARGET: All 50 U.S. state governors The Department of Transportation (DOT) has enacted a critical new rule requiring states to measure, report, and reduce pollution on our nation’s highways. The rule is straightforward yet transformational. It requires states to set concrete short-term and long-term reduction targets, and most importantly, act on them.
