Career politicians get into the "political" network and lose site of what is important to the people of the United States.

The inevitable path of democracy will lead to voting through mobile technology. The Altruist Party (AP) intends to establish this concept for ‘The People’ of the United States, State-by-State, as a Human Right and NOT for profit.

President Obama may choose Larry Summers to Chair the Federal Reserve Bank. This is a petition for members of the Harvard community. It is informing President Obama that we oppose the appointment of Larry Summers to this position. Please only sign this petition if you are a member of the Harvard community and indicate your affiliation. Please also note if you were a member of the Harvard community while Summers was President of Harvard (2001-2006). Summers was involved with many policies that resulted in the crash of 2008, including the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act. His sexism has created controversies for many years, including, most famously, for comments he made while President of Harvard; after a vote of no confidence from the Harvard faculty, he resigned his post. He is also known for being abrasive and aggressive, and these qualities would not be helpful in building consensus as Fed Chair. Janet Yellen, the woman who is currently Vice-Chair of Fed, is experienced, eminently qualified for the job, and would follow through on Ben Bernanke's policies

Too much unfinished Business

The City of Gretna,LA has a budget shortfall and is using restrictive speed limits and mobile speed traps to generate revenue instead of running the city in a fiscally responsible manner.

Spying on citizens is in violation of the 4th amendment to the Constitution. This government program breeds paranoia in the population and forfeits all rights guaranteed in the founding document.

The founding fathers needed a central meeting place to come together and discuss the concerns of their citizens. Now, with the amount of money that flows into the District of Columbia, politicians see this place as making it to the Big Leagues, that they are the Superstars. Is it any wonder why they are out of touch with those they represent? The internet now makes it possible for politicians to meet and work from home; where they can see the affect their policies have on their constituents. Having them meet online would limit the ability of money to influence a greater number of politicians. This idea would also make meetings that need to happen behind closed doors for national security reasons more transparent, because there would be more news coverage if they were the only ones in D.C.

Questions for which we never receive answers: Did Congress vote themselves their annual pay raise? What do they pay for Health Care? Are they paid after leaving these positions?

Why must we pay politicians until they die, and why must we fund their health care ? !

The next Chairman of the Federal Reserve will not just be responsible for ensuring that our economic recovery continues uninterrupted but will also work with the White House on promoting equality, workers' rights, and the welfare of low and middle income Americans. Robert Reich is deeply committed to all these issues and will bring vital balance to the role.

Referenda give the legislature the true opinion of the voting public on issues, and initiative is no more subject to abuse by special interest groups than the legislative process. Referenda give a voice to anyone who is registered to vote, and have worked very well in states that use them.

Not allowing individuals to remain in office for an eternity is an important step we need to take to restore confidence in both Congress and the Senate. Term Limits have been introduced in the House but never received the two-thirds vote it needs to pass. In order to move towards restoring America, we need to have fresh faces to help bring new ideas to Capital Hill. Therefore by introducing term limits, this will limit the "career politicians" that are currently stagnant in Washington, DC. It takes courage to make change happen; By signing this petition, it will be a good start! I will be meeting with Congressmen/Women this upcoming Friday when I visit the House Chambers to talk about term limits. Please help me achieve the 50 signatures needed in order to get the ball rolling on term limits. Lets make it happen!
