This is a petition to Sen. Bernie Sanders and Former Sec. Robert Reich: we implore you to, with all urgency, lead us in a General Strike to address the great questions surrounding the Election of 2016.

   The, in practical certainty, illegitimate election of Trump and its enabling and subsequent embrace by the Republican Party is perhaps the greatest threat Our Nation has known. Questions must be asked- and answers provided- before this goes further.

   Sen. Sanders is without question the most trusted, honest, progressive politician in office today. Sec. Reich is perhaps our strongest, most outspoken progressive political thinker. So we ask of you: utilize the many great tools available to you to organize the call for a General Strike of some days duration, for the purpose of addressing certain demands immediately, through an Open Congressional Hearing  (only the most sensitive material, as determined by Sen. Sanders and his Republican co-chair, to be heard behind closed doors), empaneled by equal numbers of Democrats and Republicans from both the House and Senate, led by Sen. Sanders and a Republican of his choosing. These demands being to investigate:

>the specifics of Russian intervention in the election;

>the extent to which, if any, there was/is collusion between Russia and the Trump Campaign/Administration;

>the extent to which, if any, there was/is collusion between the FBI and the Trump Campaign/Administration;

>Trump's finances to reveal what, if any, illegalities and undue foreign influences are concealed within;

>allegations of severe disenfranchisement of voters involving but not limited to The Interstate Voter Registration Crosscheck Program;

>any other issues relating to the Election and/or Trump personally and/or his Administration as may be deemed necessary.

   We ask your help.

                                                                 With respect and hope,

                                                                 Tom Goodwin, Uxbridge MA, USA
