Petitions to Take Trump to Task: Make him Accountable and Transparent!

TERRIFIED TRUMP JUST TOOK LEGAL ACTION TO BLOCK ELECTORS FROM VOTING AGAINST HIM!

On December 19th, the members of the Electoral College will cast their official votes
for the President of the United States of America. Please voice your concerns here:  

http://asktheelectors.org/

  PLEASE SIGN AND SHARE ALL PETITIONS BELOW  





1.  Add your name: “I pledge to fight back against the Trump agenda.”
WE’RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER
It’s happened. A candidate who ran on a platform of hatred, racism and misogyny was elected president of the United States. While a Trump presidency will attack and assault every progressive value – from defending the environment to reining in corporate greed, from defending civil rights and the social safety net at home to promoting peace and human rights abroad, it’s important never to forget that his agenda and rhetoric put some people more than others at very real and very terrifying risk. We are horrified by the election results, and we’re gearing up to stop the fascist who is about to become president and the Republican extremists who enabled and endorsed his racism, xenophobia and hate. But first, and most importantly, we want to make it clear that we stand in solidarity with the people who have the biggest stake in this fight. No matter what, we will always stand shoulder-to-shoulder with every community Trump has attacked, threatened and marginalized in his campaign of hate. We will not be silent, and we will not back down. We will fight back against Donald Trump’s agenda of fascism, racism, sexism, xenophobia and hate together.

Add your name to the solidarity pledge:  http://act.credoaction.com/sign/fight_trump_pledge_pda/





2.  Add your name: The House must investigate Trump’s finances!
Donald Trump Busted!
Rep. Jason Chaffetz: It is in the interest of the citizens of the United States to know the entanglements and potential conflicts of interest that Donald J. Trump’s businesses and investments have with his job as our president. We want to assure that presidential decisions are made in the best interest of our country and its citizens, not in the interest of Mr. Trump’s businesses.

Investigate president-elect Donald Trump’s businesses and finances to avoid entanglements and possible conflicts of interest. Protect us all and launch a formal probe.

3.  Condemn Trump & GOP Anti-Semitism & Racism
STOP THE HATE!
As American Jews, we will not stand idly by after the election of Donald Trump.

The Republican Jewish Coalition endorsed Donald Trump, despite his receiving support from the KKK, Holocaust-deniers, neo-Nazis, and other anti-semitic and white-supremacist groups. Anti-semitic messages were constant throughout his campaign and Trump just chose Stephen Bannon, an anti-semite, as his Chief of Strategy.

With the election of Donald Trump, the lives of Jews, Muslims, immigrants, women, LGBTQ communities and people of color across the United States are threatened by the vitriolic messages and actions of these hate groups and the language and policies of the incoming Trump Administration.

As Jews, we demand that the Republican Jewish Coalition publicly and actively condemn all forms of anti-semitism, racism, xenophobia and misogyny in the Trump Administration and the Republican Party immediately:

4.  Demand an investigation into Donald Trump’s conflicts of interest!
Donald Trump
The American people deserve to know if Trump is abusing the power of the Presidency to line his own pocket.

Sign our petition to demand an investigation into Trump’s business conflicts of interest:

5.  Demand Transparency from Donald Trump
Donald Trump
SIGN THE PETITION: President-elect Donald Trump must release his tax returns.

President-elect Donald Trump refuses to release his tax returns, claiming “There’s nothing to learn from them.” But we think that’s up to the American people to decide.

We deserve to know the incoming president’s background, experience, and business interests -- and if there are any potential conflicts of interest hiding in Donald Trump’s tax returns, we have a right to know.

We’re calling on Donald Trump to release his tax returns dating back at least five years, for public scrutiny. He will conduct the people’s business from the highest office in the land -- so we deserve to see how he’s conducted his private business too.

Call on President-elect Donald Trump to come clean and release his tax returns today.

7.  Global Open Letter to Donald Trump

This is not what greatness looks like.

The world rejects your fear, hate-mongering, and bigotry. We reject your support for torture, your calls for murdering civilians, and your general encouragement of violence. We reject your denigration of women, Muslims, Mexicans, and millions of others who don’t look like you, talk like you, or pray to the same god as you.

Facing your fear, we choose compassion. Hearing your despair, we choose hope.
Seeing your ignorance, we choose understanding.

As citizens of the world, we stand united against your brand of division.

Sincerely,

[Add your name!]





8.  Investigate President-elect Trump’s conflicts of interest.

PETITION TO: House Oversight Chairman Jason Chaffetz...

President-elect Donald Trump is refusing to adequately address his unprecedented conflicts of interest and put his assets into a blind trust. House Oversight Chair Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) was ready for “years” of investigations into a potential Clinton administration. Now, he must turn that same level of scrutiny on President-elect Trump and conduct a full investigation into his financial holdings, root out any potential conflicts of interest, and hold him accountable.

9.  Petition to Rep. Jason Chaffetz: Probe Trump’s finances!
Is Trump lying about how rich he is? Donald Trump’s finances touching the void.
PETITION TO: House Oversight Chairman Jason Chaffetz...

It is in the interest of the citizens of the United States to know the entanglements and potential conflicts of interest that Donald J. Trump’s businesses and investments have with his job as our president. We want to assure that presidential decisions are made in the best interest of our country and its citizens, not in the interest of Mr. Trump's businesses.

Investigate president-elect Donald Trump’s businesses and finances to avoid entanglements and possible conflicts of interest. Protect us all and launch a formal probe.

10.  Prosecute Trump for illegal offenses before the Dec. 19 Electoral College Vote
Donald Trump
We respectfully call upon the appropriate Federal Authorities to thoroughly investigate the many possible illegal offenses of Donald Trump, the Trump Corporations, and the Trump Foundation before the members of the Electoral College meet to cast their final vote on Dec. 19.

The Electoral College was created by the framers of the constitution to protect against corrupt demagogues; the Electors should be given the full opportunity to vote their conscience if it is formally determined that Trump has broken the law. Throughout the campaign, allegations of Trump's illegal activities have surfaced: tax evasion, business scams, tenant intimidation, hiring of undocumented workers, illegal trade, bribery, sexual assault, incitement of violence, and collusion with a foreign government to influence an American election.

If Trump is guilty of crimes, he does not deserve to be our President.

11.  The first sign of a fascist government? TELL THE MEDIA: HOLD TRUMP ACCOUNTABLE!

PETITION To ABC, CBS, CNN, FOX and NBC:

Your networks have spent the past year boosting Donald Trump and giving him mostly unfiltered access to your megaphones. You’ve consistently covered Trump’s tweets more thoroughly than his legal scandals, his attacks on vulnerable communities and his conflicts of interest.

And you’ve moved quickly since Election Day to normalize the new administration.

But this isn’t normal. We need an adversarial press more than ever.

We urge you to hold Trump accountable:

12.  Release of Trumps Taxes BEFORE December 18th

The issue of Trump’s Tax returns has been avoided and ignored long enough. This could reveal serious violations to our Constitution. We know he didn’t pay taxes, and we suspect he did not donate to charities, either.

This is only the tip on the iceberg. Donald Trump has proven to be untrustworthy, and his words are untruthful. WE NEED PROOF. NOW.

Please read and sign this petition:

13.  Tell Donald Trump to release his tax returns!

Every U.S. Presidential candidate since Richard Nixon has voluntarily released copies of their tax returns to the public so that voters can assess the amount and sources of income, taxes paid, charitable contributions and other data which can affect our propensity to elect them. Donald Trump has refused to do so, claiming this might affect audits of his returns currently underway. This claim, on its face, is absurd, since he would simply be releasing information the IRS already has. No new information would be disclosed.

We should insist that Mr Trump adhere to the same custom as past Presidential candidates, and encourage the FEC to make tax return disclosure a requirement in future elections.

Tell Donald Trump to release his tax returns:

14.  Twitter: Ban Donald Trump!

“If Hillary Clinton can’t satisfy her husband what makes her think she can satisfy America?”

That’s just one of the dozens of sexist, racist, lying tweets from Trump. It’s not just disgusting, it’s against Twitter’s own rules.

Now Twitter has just gone on record saying that they would consider banning Trump! We can give them the public support they need to make such a big move now, while momentum is on our side. For the next four years, Trump could use twitter to spread hate, lies, fake news and bullying attacks, bypassing the scrutiny of the media.

This is our chance to stop him — add your name to support dumping Trump’s hate from Twitter.

⚠️  All the Terrifying Things That Donald Trump Did Last Week  ⚠️

Provoked heightened diplomatic tensions with two nuclear-armed states. Handed the Environmental Protection Agency to a climate denialist. Attacked a local labor leader for calling attention to his lies. Handed the Labor Department to a serial violator of labor law. Requested security clearance for a conspiracy theorist who claims that the Clintons operate a Satanic child-sex ring out of a popular D.C. pizzeria. Baselessly accused a private company of ripping off the government, shortly after the CEO of that company criticized his trade policies. Questioned the legitimacy of the election he just won. Appointed Ben Carson secretary of Housing and Urban Development — despite the fact that Carson has no relevant experience and recently declared himself unqualified for any cabinet position. Allowed his D.C. hotel to actively court the patronage of foreign diplomats. Invited the manager of his blind trust onto a phone call with the president of Argentina. Met with Indian business partners who have publicly declared their intention to capitalize on his status as president-elect. Tried to coerce Britain into appointing a right-wing extremist as its ambassador to the United States. Berated the media at a closed-door meeting for publishing unflattering photos of his double chin. Criticized the cast of a Broadway musical for asking the vice-president to work on behalf of all Americans. Settled a fraud case for $25 million. Admitted that his charity was guilty of self-dealing. Derided protestors as paid professionals whose acts of free speech are fundamentally “unfair.” Invited the manager of his “blind trust” to a meeting with the prime minister of Japan. Assembled a team of racists to lead his White House. Took credit for the fact that Ford will not be relocating a plant to Mexico (which they never had any intention of relocating to Mexico) Declared America’s leading newspaper a “failing” institution. Abandoned his press pool. Floated the idea of hiring his son-in-law to a White House position, in possible defiance of laws against nepotism and norms against conflicts of interest. Took calls from foreign leaders on unsecured phone lines, without consulting the State Department.
Referred to his White House transition as though it were the next season of “The Apprentice”.
