According to the Chicago Sun-Times (http://tinyurl.com/Berrios-Family-Hires) Cook County Assessor has placed 15 members of his family on the public payroll. We are gravely concerned that are members of his family - regardless of their age, mortality status (that is, living or deceased) or species (dog, cat, parakeet) - that are NOT on a public payroll. We would like to see ALL of Joe's family employed in local government!

There is finally movement in the US Congress in getting a constitutional amendment to allow government to control campaign donations and spending. The bill is HJR Res 119. A companion to the amendment which will soon be voted on by the full US Senate was introduced in the US House of Representatives. The House amendment bill has more than 110 co-sponsors. Florida’s Senator Bill Nelson became the 48th senator to formally support the amendment. With three more senators, we’ll have a majority of the U.S. Senate behind the amendment. The bill requires a 2/3 majority of both houses so It is critical that the public show support and keep the momentum going. Please sign the petition and share with your friends.

I do not believe that this article [Article 37] as written agrees is within the true spirit of the Federal constitution. I believe belief or non-belief in God (or Gods) should not be a factor in qualifying a person to hold office in the state of Maryland.

I'm beyond sick of legislators taking corporate money to keep from doing their jobs. For too long now this has been a major issue in our government. And the problem is getting worse. The supreme court's recent decision to allow corporations to give unlimited amounts of money to lawmakers was absolutely inexcusable.

The California DISCLOSE Act (SB 52) would turn the tide on unlimited secret money in politics by exposing those who try to buy elections with deceptive ads. SB 52 will make all TV, radio, and print ads for ballot measures show their top three REAL funders clearly and prominently. No hiding in fine print behind front groups. The bill is close to passage but now some of the biggest interests in Sacramento are trying to stop it. Sign our petition to demand the Assembly pass the California DISCLOSE Act today.

This petition is initiated to protect the interest of the taxpayers of the United States of America from a Congress unwilling to perform their jobs.

I am a former volunteer to get Obama and Biden Reelected. I worked my ass off every chance I got, and I got Obama and Biden reelected, and seeing this suing the President by the Republican House, it makes me angry, that my hard work might go down the drain, just because Republicans can't win! I'm pissed. So, if Obama get's impeached, I say let's arrest every top official of the Bush Administration, for war crimes, economic crimes, everything. They shouldn't bask in nice retirement while the President suffers. Let's recall Boehner too?

The WV Public Service Commission is investigating WV American Water's response to the January 9th chemical spill that contaminated the drinking water for 300,000 of its customers. The deadline for public comment in October 7th.

The proliferation of fact checking groups/activities demonstrates the explosion of questionable information being generated everywhere. Though the fact checking efforts are laudable, many/most times, when the information is found to be deceptive, the people that produced it are not held accountable. This petition addresses the issue of regaining our right to be able to Trust our elected officials.

This petition is being started on behalf of a large number of my like-minded friends, associates, and family who are equally upset and concerned about this abuse of power and the expending of taxpayer,s hard earned dollars being spent for such an obviously partisan reason..to have a negative impact on the upcoming fall elections.
