This petition stems from a deeply personal concern. As a natural-born citizen of the United States, I, along with many others, have been profoundly impacted by the effects of Donald J. Trump's presidency. The propagation of racism, hate, fear, and confusion into our daily interactions have RIPPLED ACROSS SOCIETY, implanting a sense of fear, insecurity, and depression into our lives, and those of our children and grandchildren. Many of us are now confronted with symptoms akin to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), including feeling on edge and a crippling apprehension towards planning for the future.

These concerns are not unwarranted, nor are they solitary. According to a 2018 study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, anxiety related to politics has been found to induce clinically significant symptoms of PTSD ("A National Longitudinal Study of the Association Between the U.S. Presidential Election and Mental Health, 2020"). This is not the society we want to foster for future generations.

It's time to reclaim a sense of security and hope. Let us strive to cultivate a nation led by compassion and understanding, rather than fear and division. Recall Donald J. Trump as the President of the United States of America–amplify YOUR voice by signing this petition.
