• All laws must be renewed every 10 years or they come off the books.
    California is choking with laws and regulations.Some laws are so old and rediculous you find them in JOKE books! We need a statue of limitations for laws. Every 10 years they should be reviewed and at that time they can be changed, dropped or reapproved, by vote.

  • Repeal the Bergen County Blue Laws
    Bergen County, New Jersey currently prohibits retail establishments from opening up for business on Sundays. Not only does this weaken Bergen County's tax revenue flow, but it costs local citizens much needed jobs in an already weak economy. Repealing this law would allow retail establishments to be open on Sundays, put citizens back to work, and boost tax revenues for the County.

  • No more lobbyists
    Lobbyists do good only for large corporations and organizations. They do only harm to the average citizen. Huge sums of money must be raised for worthy causes just to compete with deep pockets of big business. I propose to make lobbying illegal. The NRA has successfully blocked several firearm limitation measures even though enjoying wide bipartisan support.

  • Restore Glass-Steagall Act HR-129
    Everyone is affected. By separating speculative from productive banking, Glass-Steagall cancels our obligations to Wall Street's gambling debts. No other nation has the power right now on its own to reverse the tide of economic chaos and disintegration besides the United States. There are now 60 cosponsors to the Glass-Steagall Bill.

  • Congress: Please Cut Your Salaries
    For the last five years or better people have been forced by our economic situation to live within their means. It is a saying we hear a lot these days from both sides; in it is couched entire conversations. It is time for Congress to live within its means and take a pay cut for its dismal performance.

  • For the People
    It's time to make our legislators work for Americans who voted them into office.rather than their politcial careers. I suggest we start a petition to vote any one who does not work together for solutions out of office. Stop the politics.

  • VOICe=Vote Out InCumbents
    When our legistlators do not follow our wishes such as the gun control we can set up a vote them out of office campaign. Since millions signing petitions does not have impact(i spend time in washington for the Mass Med Society) then we have to have the same leverage as lobbyists, control over the election process!!
