I do nothing Congress, Playing politics with all of our lives, If they don't want job, just send them back to where they come from.

It is time to restore our representative democracy. Today 87% of Americans are deeply troubled by the corrupting influence of money in politics. Our elected officials no longer represent the people who vote for them, they represent their donors. We need to get money out of politics, and the biggest step is overturning the 'Citizens United' supreme court case and banning corporations from contributing to elections. To do that, we need our state legislature to call for a constitutional convention. Vermont has already called for a convention, and California isn't far behind. Connecticut should join them. Tell your elected officials you want a constitutional convention to get money out of our politics.

Petition Background: Scott Walker has governed regressively to promote his national profile with conservatives—at the expense of state residents. He rejected hundreds of millions of federal dollars for high-speed rail, for improved Internet service, and for Medicaid expansion; cut public education drastically to fund tax cuts for corporations and the very rich; undermined local control and environmental protection; and polarized our state. His actions have reduced our quality of life and that of all who cherish the Wisconsin tradition.

I think it's about time that politicians be accountable. What's more, they should be more educated about what it is they are hired by the American people to do. This is one way to determine how qualified they are to be in, or run for office.

I have family members who live in Detroit who are suffering from this horrifying deprivation. They expect to lose their electrical service as well. Familes are suffering while delinquent corporation water users continue to plunder taxpayer funds. All of our cities are at risk from carpetbaggers like these.

To return democracy to the country...

Corporations are not people. Writing a check is not speech. And the Founding Fathers never intended the First Amendment to permit the ultra-wealthy and giant corporations to take over our elections. This summer, the Senate will vote on a constitutional amendment to overturn 'Citizens United' and 'McCutcheon' -- the overreaching Supreme Court rulings that allow billionaires and Big Business to spend virtually as much money as they want, much of it undisclosed, trying to install candidates of their choosing in office. With these disastrous rulings, the Supreme Court shredded long-standing, commonsense policies that defend our democratic ideals from a plutocratic invasion. And it made a mockery of First Amendment protections that were meant for actual, everyday Americans. The only way we can preserve our democracy and prevent turning the First Amendment upside down is by passing a constitutional amendment that restores the ability of We the People to do something about the problem of money in politics. Make sure your senators know that you are counting on them to take a stand for democracy when they vote this summer.
