• Abolish the Electoral College
    The Electoral College takes away our rights as U.S. citizens to vote for our President. The President is not chosen directly by you, the voter, but instead, chosen indirectly by the Electoral College. The Electoral College is composed of "electors" who are chosen by each state based on their population to elect the President, and the truth is, NO ELECTOR IS FORCED TO VOTE ACCORDING TO THE STATE'S POPULAR VOTE!

  • You're right Mr. President, we need election reform now
    In his State of the Union Address President Obama said "When any American -- no matter where they live or what their party -- are denied that right because they can't wait for five or six or seven hours just to cast their ballot, we are betraying our ideals." He's right. We need reforms. People like 102 year-old Desiline Victor shouldn't have to wait another year for change to come. Please sign this petition thanking President Obama and our Massachusetts State Legislative Leadership (who have also called for change) and urge them to make 2013 the year of election modernization.

  • State Constitutional Amendment to Fully Reinstate Local Government Fund
    A State Constitutional Amendment to reinstate in full measure the Local Government Fund which has been decimated by Governor Kasich and Republican State Legislators. The decimation of the LGF has forced the vast majority (nearly all) local government entities of ALL types (not just cities, suburbs, towns, etc., but school districts, senior citizen programs, mental health assistance districts, etc.) to take local income tax increases and/or property tax increases to significantly higher levels - just in order to provide basic levels of service - or (especially if tax increase requests have repeatedly failed) to be forced to reduce service levels BELOW that of a basic reasonable level.

  • Restore Corrections Dept. sanity to the NYS prisons .
    Recent changes to Corrections and Community Services has placed an enormous burden on Corrections and Parole employees. By merging employee workload, responsibilities and dutiful employee legal responsibility of Parole Officers has caused the "new" Services Dept. to disintegrate and cause Parole Board preparation chaos. NYS employees inside the Prisons in NYS must be compensated for their working conditions, leadership and expertise in the field of "Corrections and Parole"! Tell the Gov. it is not a "suitable plan" or budget strategy!

  • Make Michigan's electoral college votes for president be proportional to the popular vote.
    Currently, all of Michigan's electoral college votes for president are given to one candidate, no matter how slim the margin of popular votes by which that candidate won in Michigan. This in effect ignores the votes of all those who voted for the other candidate, and actually changes their votes to the candidate they did not vote for.
