• Demand Congressman Randy Neugebauer's Resignation
    I am outraged that Rep. Randy Neugebauer claims to represent any part of my home state. His behavior proves that he does not understand the consequences of his own actions and therefore needs to immediately stand down before more damage is done.

  • Congressional salary shutdown
    I want my legislators to take personal responsibility and experience the same consequences of their votes as other citizens. It isn't fair for them to revoke the salaries of their constituents without sharing their plight.

  • New Constitutional Amendment
    There are far too many career legislators, too removed from the general U.S. citizenry. Our country was founded on citizen legislators and needs to be again. Perhaps then something will get done.

  • No pay for Congress during the shutdown
    The inequality and injustice of Congressmen being paid during the shutdown that causes rank and file federal workers to be unpaid creates a ridiculously unfair imbalance. It's outrageous that members of Congress can continue to receive pay while not doing their jobs and inflicting hardship on others with their inaction and inflexibility. They are there to make the country work, not to shut it down because they don't get to have everything their way.

  • No more gerrymandering
    Voting fairness . We risk loss of representation when political interests draw the lines for unfair advantage. Gerrymandering is undemocratic and should be stopped now before anymore elections anywhere .

  • Congress should live under same laws as the USA citizens
    It's time for the United States Congress to live and work as those who have elected them. The laws they make should apply to them as well as every other citizen -- same benefits, same healthcare, same retirement benefits, same leave without pay as all other government employees are required to take during government shutdowns.

  • Support CR at pre-sequester levels
    Nobody wanted the sequester. It is still robbing hungry people of food, children of Head Start programs, and other innocent people of critical support. In the current budget crisis, the Senate has passed a continuing resolution that maintains the sequester, in a major concession to the GOP. However, the American people don't want these terrible cuts, and never did.

  • Call the Vote!
    This shutdown has been created by a few reckless Republican representatives; all Speaker Boehner has to do is call the vote!

  • Congressional Entitlements
    Members of Congress ask Americans to contribute to their own health insurance and retirement. Yet these people enjoy the best health care and retirement anyone could wish for. The members ask us for sacrifice while they give up nothing.
