Set Term LimitsWe need to stop the corruption in gov't politics. One of the easiest and quickest ways to help deter the corruption is to set term limits of 2 terms for any of the positions. Remember there is a reason the president of the U.S. has only 2 terms. It is to stop total control and corruption.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Keara Davidson

Congress live under same laws as the rest of usThat Congress live under the laws they pass. They have the same health care as the rest of us. They pay into a retirement fund and we pay into their retirement fund only as long as they are an elected official. They collect their retirement the same as we do. They have medicare not anything different than the general population. If we are sequestered and lose pay they lose the same percentage as everybody else. If insider trading is illegal for us it is the same for them. No special treatment for them and the rules are exactly the same for them as us. No special treatment for them from the IRS if we have our wages garnished or we go to jail for not paying on time they get the same treatment.21 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mary E. Willson

Congressional Term LimitsOur political system is broken. Politicians have become more concerned with keeping their seat than doing the work of the American people. Term limits would also lessen the power and influence of corporate lobbyists.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jean-Pierre Rousseau

Vote Yes on Prop C!Los Angeles voters have a chance to make a statement against Citizens United and the dominance of Big Money in politics by voting Yes on Proposition C. Prop C reads: "Shall the voters adopt a resolution that there should be limits on political campaign spending and that corporations should not have the constitutional rights of human beings and instruct Los Angeles elected officials and area legislative representatives to promote that policy through amendments to the United States Constitution?" GREAT NEWS! PROP C PASSED WITH OVER 76% OF THE VOTE! The California Clean Money Campaign was proud to endorse Prop C, but the main drivers behind Prop C were California Common Cause, CALPIRG, and the Money In/Voters Out Coalition -- a big round of applause go to all three for giving Los Angeles voters a chance to overwhelmingly say that there should be limits on political campaign spending! It's still a long ways before a constitutional amendment can happen. In the meantime, let's pass SB 52, the California DISCLOSE Act, to stop secretive billionaires from hiding when they pay for political ads: http://petitions.moveon.org/sign/pass-the-california-disclose-41,524 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Trent Lange, CA Clean Money Campaign
