Someone posted that the Whitehouse.gov was turned into a Trump campaign site so I checked it out. Yes, the first thing you see is an appeal to sign up for Trump updates.
Interestingly, the We the People Petition site is still up. The Obama team wiped all the petitions that had been listed while they were in charge. I'm not sure I want the Trump White House to have my email but I am tempted to start a petition asking Trump to resign because of his campaign staff apparent involvement with the Russian hacking.
Ok - I did it but I am not sure if they are actually accepting petitions. Here it is:
Several Trump campaign staff members are under investigation for possible collusion with Russian government hackers that tampered with the election process in the United States. Donald John Trump should resign in order to remove this taint from the office of the President of the United States of America. As Vice President Michael Pence was part of the same campaign, he should resign also. Since Representative Mitch McConnell repressed information about the Russian hacking prior to Election Day he should resign from his office.
While any of these people hold office in the United States government the people of this country cannot be certain that their actions are free from influence by the Russian government.
Donald John Trump and his fellow conspirators should resign immediately.

(34,136 posts)I think my petition may have been the first - and it may have given them notice it was still there.
Oh well - at least I have the record that my petition existed.
UPDATE - this petition is up:
Created by A.D. on January 20, 2017
The unprecedented economic conflicts of this administration need to be visible to the American people, including any pertinent documentation which can reveal the foreign influences and financial interests which may put Donald Trump in conflict with the emoluments clause of the Constitution.

(34,136 posts)Chickenshits. The Obama White House had plenty of petitions asking for Obama to be arrested, for him to show his birth certificates and more. They never took those down and responded to the ones that got enough signatures.
Trump's people have no guts to face any criticism.
