• Furlough/Fire Congress
    I am starting this petition because Congress is handling America's business recklessly. Congress is not managing the budget in an effort to keep all Americans working and progressing during these tough times.

  • Stop the ACA Exemptions
    As a US Citizen who works and pays taxes, there should be no-one above the law, no government officials, or big buisiness should be exempt from the ACA Law. if it is good for the citizens then it is good for the lawmakers and their financial contributers.

  • Congress Gets No Pay During Shutdown
    The political tactics of government shutdown imposes an undue burden on citizens and taxpayers while Congress uses these manipulative tactics and our livelihoods as pawns to their ideological differences. Intentional government shutdown should be deemed illegal. We must leverage our power as citizens to speak to balancing the power of privilege; it will be an uphill battle of true leadership. Congress should not get paid for a failure to work on behalf of the people, nor should a shutdown be a political strategy.

  • Kansas: Try ACA (Obamacare), Fund the Feds
    We all need preventative health care and the ability to see a doctor when sick, and many of us cope with ongoing medical conditions. It's crazy to waste time trying to repeal and delay a law that simply wants to make buying health insurance easier and cheaper. It's time for sensible Kansans to tell their U.S. Representatives: Get out of the way of Obamacare and just see what happens!

  • Special election to reign in government.
    Seniors are rapidly becoming the majority, I want to try and organize to make the changes that "we the people" have allowed to happen. We cannot keep blaming Washington, when we keep electing these soon to be "millionaires".

  • Keep Government Running, Raise Debt Ceiling
    $1.4 BILLION of our taxes will be wasted shutting down and starting up the government (according to the Congressional Research Service). The U.S. will no longer be the most reliable creditor in the world, losing investors and causing interest rates we pay on credit cards, home, and business loans to increase. Social Security checks may not be paid, the doctor who sees Medicare patients won't get reimbursed, 1.4 million troops, 800,000 Pentagon workers, and many other government-run (parks, museums) and contract businesses will not get paid. Millions of jobs--and families--will be affected.

  • Term Limits in Congress
    It's about time we move on to term limits because they really don't care any more what the people who have voted for them want. We don't want shutdowns--we want progress, not fighting. There are too many politicians who have been in too long. They get great benefits--better then the general public--and with their actions we get nothing but trouble.

  • Shut Down Congressional Pay
    Congress takes no responsibility for their actions. If their pay was tied to their irresponsibility, they might reconsider.

  • Remove Health Care from Policymakers as benefit
    I know many people that can not afford health care and either just stay sick or go to the emergency room because they can't afford to go to the Doctor. It is unacceptable that we are one country that cares nothing for its citizens and thinks that people are expendable.

  • Get Rid of Gridlock in Congress
    We all know how the gridlock in the U.S. House and U.S. Senate is affecting America. Like an ineffective management team in a company that needs to be fired and replaced with a new team, this is what we need to do in Congress! By pledging to NOT re-elect all of the incumbents, not only will this send a message, it will bring fresh air and new blood into Congress. We need to take action and elect individuals who will focus on what is good for the whole, rather than what is good for themselves! By taking this action, it will start the change that is needed!

  • Just Say NO!
    The country is being held hostage by the Republican House's unreasonable demands for their laundry list of right-wing pet projects. John Boehner said they will refrain from causing a global economic crash if the President allows more oil drilling, drops various environmental regulations, defunds the Consumer Protection Bureau, and halts the implementation Affordable Care Act. We must not let Obama give in to these extremists' ultimatums!
