The Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act addressed the loophole requiring lawmakers and government officials to post their financial transactions online. Last week members of the senate and house quietly repealed the act.

Congress jumped into action last week to protect air travelers – such as themselves – from long airport delays caused by sequestration cuts, but they’ve shown no sympathy for the millions of Americans without a frequent flyer card. Air travel and ending the furloughs at the FAA are important, but the haphazard sequestration cuts are hitting the middle class and our most vulnerable the hardest: with seniors denied access to Meals on Wheels, cancer patients denied treatment, low-income children being kicked out of Head Start, and cuts to unemployment insurance for the millions of Americans unable to find work. It's outrageous. No more balancing the budget on the backs of working families. No more paying for tax giveaways that benefit corporations and the super-wealthy with cuts to vital programs. Tell Congress to fix the sequester cuts for all Americans.

For 75 years, the Fair Labor Standards Act has ensured that hourly employees who work more than 40 hours a week are paid overtime pay. It only makes sense—if workers have to spend more time away from their families and on the job, they deserve to be fairly compensated. But John Boehner and Eric Cantor and others in Congress don’t see it that way. The deceptively named “Working Families Flexibility Act,” recently introduced in Congress, would eliminate overtime pay and instead replace it with “comp time,” which would be allocated days off, at the discretion of the employer. This may look nice at first glance, but what it does is encourage employers to force workers to work longer hours, and pay them less for it. Everyone deserves fair pay for the work they do. This bill would cut wages for millions and just make CEOs and Big Business richer. This bill is moving fast and your representative needs to hear from you now. We need you to send a message now and make sure he or she does the right thing and opposes this bill.

Reform campaign finance law to reduce political corruption and lessen the incumbents’ electoral advantage:

Where can an adult work 50 hours a week for no pay in 2013? The White House Intern program. According to the White House website, intern duties "include conducting research, managing incoming inquiries, attending meetings, writing memos, and staffing events." That is real work, Mr. President. It's not equivalent to a semester in college. The White House internship program puts many on a fast track to leadership, but is only open to the children of the wealthy. No one can work 45 hours a week and then make enough to pay the high rents in D.C. It's nothing to be proud of. We can do better. A federal court ruled correctly that interns for the film "Black Swan" should have been paid. We ask the White House to lead by example and pay all its employees.

Currently,there are many politicians who are engaging in impeachment-worthy behaviour.Unfortunately,the power to impeach politicians lies not in the hands of the people where it should be,but in the hands of the corrupt,self -serving politicians themselves.The power to impeach is the power of the people to take back Deomocracy.

Any new bills that is being put into law, the name of the bill must represent 80% of what the bill really does.

Pentagon spending is expected to top $653 billion this fiscal year. Many experts believe that cutting the Pentagon’s budget by $50 billion per year over the next 10 years will actually enhance our national security by ending wasteful spending and freeing up the funds to invest in our economy and our communities. According to a Gallup Poll from November of 2012, over 58% of Americans would like to see reductions in military spending.

It's time to bring an end to our dollar-based democracy. This nation desperately needs a publicly-financed electoral campaign system, one that completely removes all private contributions,both direct and indirect.

Lawmakers from both parties have devoted nearly half a billion dollars in taxpayer money over the past two years to build improved versions of the 70-ton Abrams tank. However, the army has repeatedly told congress, "No thanks." It's time for pet projects to get axed. Let's start with this one!!

Elected officials should be paid at the median household income of US families so they are not insulated from the impacts of their decisions.
