Governor Mark Dayton of Minnesota has been quoted as saying "I was not aware" over many recent issues cropping up in Minnesota. For example, the stadium being built using tax payer money, will now, most likely, require general fund dollars, taking money from schools and other important programs.

Congress has been failing to work with results in mind, and each party is blaming the other, focusing on mud slinging and party positioning instead of leadership for the good of all. When Congress fails to do their job and defaults to something like a sequester why should others pay the consequence while they remain immune to that which they themselves caused?

I'm concerned that instead of the "Citizen" representatives that our founders' intended ,Congress is full of "Professional"non-caring self-centered individuals who are controlled by lobbyists and devote their time to re-election instead of the 'People's business".

We encourage the Mayor and Town Council Members of Cary, NC to join with the 14 other North Carolina municipalities who have already moved to defend democracy by calling for a stop to anonymous or unlimited political donations and supporting a U.S. Constitutional amendment establishing that: (1) Only human beings are people endowed with constitutional rights, not corporations or any other type of organization. (2) Money is NOT speech and regulating political spending is necessary to preserve equitable and transparent democracy.

We are reminded by news reporters, politicians, and political strategists that Congress is dysfunctional. This is a problem that affects every American and the very existence of the United States of America.

It's easy for Congress to impose the sequester on the American people. To dictate AUSTERITY in our lives and negatively affect our destiny. Especially because every single Congressmen/women are fully aware that this same AUSTERITY they are imposing on the American people, will never reach their own kitchen tables or affect their own sons and daughters. Don't you think it's time we change that?

Abolish Fastrak, Yes I have been affected along with a million other commuters.

Sign my petition to implement a 20% emergency pay cut, effective immediately, for all members of the Legislative Branch of the Federal Government until the Sequester is ended. Congress should cancel the sequester, but if they aren't willing to, then they should share the pain by taking the 20% pay cut. If we are taking a pay cut for their lack to responsibility to the American people, so should they.

Our government is currently up to it's neck in a stagnate cesspool and with a simple national vote, we the people can make the change that will put an end to much of what's wrong with so much of these politics.

In America today, it appears that Congress believes they are above the law. Is Obamacare not sufficient for them? Seems that way. Are federal gun bans good for the people, but not for Congress or government in general? Sure does look that way. If they are going to be stealing our money and writing up laws to hurt the public, they should be included in that! Politicians are supposed to be public servants, rather than pampered and exempt from federal law. If a law is not good enough for a Congressman, it's not good for anybody! Sign this petition to acknowledge that enough is enough. No more exemptions for politicians!

People who care about democracy across the country are uniting to overturn the Supreme Court's decision that gives corporations the right to spend unlimited amounts of money to influence elections. The amazing coalition Money Out Voters In and Common Cause helped write this Resolution, which goes to the CA Democratic Party Resolutions Committee -- and the Party itself -- at the CDP convention next week. Sign this petition to urge the committee and the party to show their support for getting big corporate money out of elections.
