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.

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.

Make congress work 5 days a week, and work 52 weeks a year like any other business.

Citizens just shake their heads over the lack of legislative outcomes in Washington . EVERYONE wants better results. One of the major barriers is the Filiibuster rule which abandons the "majority rules" concept present in every democratic institution. This rule must be modified to once again restore citizens trust and confidence in it's government.

Challenge the constitution of majority rules, not minority blocks.

Inconvenienced by the cutback in air controllers Congress hastily passed a bipartisan bill so they wouldn't be affected. Meanwhile vital issues of national concern languish while our elected officials wait to hear what lobbyists have to say about each issue.
