The United States is in danger of becoming an oligarchy, ruled by powerful, controlling interests, rather than a true democracy. The Occupy Movement was a collective expression of concern over this trend. But it lacked focus and direction. This petition is intended to provide a central platform that can galvanize the country as a whole into action.

lifers in congress are subverting democracy while enriching themselves and their corporate masters. two terms in the senate and three in the house is quite enough. the founders fathers never envisioned a class of professional politicians working only for themselves.

The Post master General of the United States Postal Service wants to cut 6-day a week mail delivery to five which will eliminate 25,000 jobs not to mention the domino effect in would have on the economy by eliminating 80,000 jobs.

Upset about a congress focused on in-fighting and name-calling rather than on our Nation's business?

My husband is a police officer for the U.S. Park police and he along with 700 police officers nationwide are about to be furloughed for 14 days without pay. Not only will all the families be affected by these furloughs, but according to the Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar, national parks across the country will have slower response times to criminal activities and minimal police presence. Visitors in our national parks throughout the country should be top priority when it comes to public safety, and these furloughs should be stopped.
