Petition to Sen. Josh Hawley
Constituents Demanding Sen. Josh Hawley's Resignation
We are constituents of Sen. Josh Hawley's seeking his resignation for inciting violence directed at the United States Congress. This latest display of violence highlights Sen. Hawley's disregard for American democracy, and it is a disgraceful use of his position and power in an attempt to overturn the 2020 General Election results. We demand Sen. Hawley's resignation and nothing less. Please also take a moment to visit: http://hawleyresign.com to sign on with others from across the state. Our coalition also very much supports Representative Cori Bush's petition, as well as the Movement for Black Lives demands, calling for the expulsion of all Senators and Representatives who sought to undermine the results of the 2020 election that resulted in the violent display of white supremacy on January 6th, 2021. Please visit www.gopcoup.com to sign the petition.

Petition to Lee county School Board, Sandra Bowen, Christine Hilliard
Tell the Lee County School Board to Protect First Amendment Rights
On January 6, 2021 Lee County School Board member Sherry-Lynn Womack, a retired Army Lieutenant Colonel, medical officer, and combat veteran, attended the "Save America Rally" for President Donald J. Trump at the Ellipse, adjacent to the Mall in Washington, D.C. Her purpose for attending was to show her support for our President and to signal her disappointment with widespread election irregularities. The rally began mid-morning and ended when the President finished speaking around 12:30PM. During the rally, Sherry-Lynn Womack spoke with street reporters on the ground, who inquired about her activities in retirement - including her volunteer work with local children and her service on the Lee County School Board. In no way did Mrs.Womack infer she was a spokesman for the School Board nor did she indicate she was present to represent the School Board. Sherry-Lynn Womack elected not to attend the subsequent rally at the U.S. Capitol, scheduled to begin at 1:00PM. Instead, she left on the Metro to get refreshments and to warm up in Northern Virginia. She heard about the violent actions occurring at the Capitol through reports on her cell phone. In post-rally phone and TV interviews with the media, Sherry-Lynn Womack condemned the violence at the Capitol and expressed her sorrow for the loss of life and the damages resulting from the incursion. Still, at the next subsequent meeting of the Lee County School Board on January 12, 2021, the Board Chairwoman permitted local citizens, teachers and students to personally attack Womack for attending the rally, calling her a terrorist and criminal for over 90 minutes. The Board then passed a motion to begin a taxpayer-funded investigation into whether Sherry-Lynn Womack violated policy or rules that could lead to her dismissal from the School Board. There is no evidence that Sherry-Lynn Womack violated any policies or that she in any way set a bad example for any citizen in Lee County. In fact, her actions are perfectly within the bounds of our freedoms of assembly and speech protected by the 1st Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Pursuit of an investigation into her trip is a waste of precious education dollars. Instead of an investigation, she should be commended for her military service, her volunteer work in the community, and her leadership in Lee County. The Lee County School Board should immediately terminate this investigation and apologize to Sherry-Lynn Womack for the disrespect she has been shown.

Petition to Catholic Democrats
Stop Fr. Frank Pavone's Podcast from promoting DJT 2​.​0 & Slander of Catholic Democrats.
I am a Catholic Pro-Life Democrat. Fr. Frank Pavone is using his podcasts to demonize my group. He is calling us a "curse" and "garbage." In addition, he is not accepting President -Elect Joe Biden. He stated in his podcast on 1/15/21, "all people who voted for Biden should burn themselves to ashes." He supports Trumpism and slanders Catholics who have alternative ways to support his cause. In addition he glorfies and enourages Trump 2.0. even after the Insurrection. This type of podcast is dangerous and could result in furthing dividing the church or even incite genocide of Catholic Democrats. I am a Pro-Life Democrat who is a bleeding heart . I want to end abortions just as much as Fr. Frank! I have a different philsophy on how to work towards this goal without government involvement. Therefore, I am creating this petition to aks Fr. Frank to stop supressing and demonizing Catholic Democrats . Please , Fr. Frank stop the slander and idolization of Trumpism. Separate church and state.Listen to all people of God . Together we can help advocate for the unborn without causing more death.

Honor USCP Officer Eugene Goodman with the Medal of Freedom
(Photo Credit: Ashley Gilbertson)On Wednesday, January 6th, 2021, USPC Officer Eugene Goodman faced down a mob of angry rioters advancing in the US Capitol building. Despite his warnings, rioters advanced on the outnumbered officer. He retreated to the 2nd floor landing and called in his position to fellow officers to alert them to the growing threat. Officer Goodman noted that there were no visible guards at the Senate chamber doors. At the moment that the lead rioter also saw the open door, Officer Goodman placed himself in the path to direct harm and made physical contact with the rioter, provoking a response. The rioter took the bait and lead his followers after Officer Goodman, away from the Senate doors. Inside the Senate, the evacuation was not complete. If the rioters had breached that door, they would've found themselves face-to-face with Senate leaders. Bloodshed was a stark possibility. Instead, the rioters pursued Officer Goodman down another hall and into a larger vestibule where Capitol police backup was waiting to reinforce him. The incident was defused without injury and Senate leaders were able to safely evacuate. Officer Eugene Goodman recognized a critical moment where the lives of others were at stake. He courageously risked himself to divert rioters and exemplifies the courage an bravery that is the hallmark of Capitol law enforcement. In a very difficult time, his character shone through. He is an American hero. My fellow petitioners and I are calling on President Joe Biden to recognize his courage and his long career of defending the United Stated by awarding him the highest civilian honor, the Medal of Freedom!

JUSTICE FOR REBEKAH JONES - INVESTIGATE RON DESANTIS
In early December cops raided an innocent data scientist's home and pointed a gun at her family, including her kids!!! Rebekah Jones was previously asked to resign her position after refusing to fudge data about the seriousness of the impact of COVID-19. There is speculation that Ron DeSantis instigated this attack because the judge whose first assignment was the order of the warrant for this brutal attack, was recently appointed by DeSantis. Is this an act of democracy or is this an act of terror? What would you do? How would you react and how safe are we all if telling the truth leads us towards this type of willful terror? Sign this petition to let America know this is not acceptable for our citizens.

Petition to West Sacramento City Council
Respect the Process and Open the Applications.
On December 9, 2020 Martha Guerrero was sworn in as West Sacramento's newest Mayor leaving her previous spot on the council vacant and open for an appointment. Norma Alcala, who shares the same goals of increased transparency and civic participation as Martha, was also sworn in. That leaves two remaining city council members, both quite vocal in their support for the previous mayor, who are in opposition to Martha's desire to take a more inclusive stance and see her seat filled by the application process which has long been the tradition for the city. Martha, an original supporter of the previous mayor, made no secret of her concerns for the direction of the city feeling that things had reached a tipping point where the infrastructure of the city was becoming less and less a priority. She launched each of her bids for public office citing a need for more attention placed on addressing homelessness, affordable housing options, infrastructure, and making the city safer. So how can we, as West Sacramentans, support our newly elected mayor? With a current 2:2 split, we need an appointment process that opens up the field to choose someone who supports the vision and ideals we voted for when we elected Martha to lead our city. We need to appoint someone who can place their loyalty to the working class people of the city above politics-someone who cares about improving access to city services and supporting our long-underserved communities. We need a critical thinker who shares our new mayor's commitment to accessibility, transparency and who will support moving to a city council of single member district representation. At the December 9th city council meeting, there was a push to make a direct appointment of the city council candidate who came in 3rd in a two seat election to fill Martha's seat instead of opening up the process to the entire city through the application process. This candidate, unlike the other two in the race who placed 4th and 5th, ran on a slate with the previous mayor as did the candidate who placed 1st in the two seat race. Many feel that a direct appointment of the 3rd place candidate is owed to her supporters. But what is owed to 52% of the electorate who voted for a change in the mayor and by extension a change in the direction of the city? The math of a direct appointment paints a clear picture and one that was rejected by 52% of the electorate. Please join me and sign this petition to show our city council that what is desired and what is needed, is an open and inclusive process to fill the vacant seat. We cannot have that unless we have an open application process. Politics and personal bias must be put aside to do what is best for the people of West Sacramento. Only then will we be able to appoint someone to the council who shares our values.

Petition to Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer
Remove the Traitors
The dangerous and incisive Rhetoric of ex president trump has found its way to the local levels of government. Today in my town of Mexico, N.Y. we have a County Legislature who, while also holding the positions of Vice Chairs if Public Safety and Human Services, is publicly backing and encouraging the insurrection at the Capitol building as well as further action. Any Government official backing these traitorous activities should be immediately barred from office. By allowing the continued participation of these deranged individuals we are lending credence to their outlandish claims and actions. There needs to be swift and damning recourse to put an end to any further encouragement of these wildly unknowledgeable, confused officials. If they are allowed to continue to serve as though they are competent trustworthy stewards of our towns cities and Country when does the lunacy end? By immediately removing these people from any public office we are simultaneously condemning the actions that have and unfortunately may continue to occur since the 6th of January, while underlining that misinformation, conspiracy theories and "alternative facts" will no longer be tolerated as valid sources of knowledge.
