This would state that no member of the white house would be able to give themselves a raise without raising minimum wage standards.

There is NO ACCOUNTABILITY in Government, so there is NO CREDIBILITY in Government. Internet is part of the Commons (air waves)

One state has already banned fragrances in public places because of how they affect people with Multiple Sensitivities and Environmental Illness. I should have the right to go to the doctor's office without having to go out and sit in a drafty hall to try and avoid another patient's "perfume". Perfume exposure, for me, led to 15 minutes of waves of sobbing followed by times of quiet. It is a challenge to lead my life bombarded by chemical others think make them "smell good".

Get rid of the electoral college. Stop gerrymandering. The present system of counting votes has resulted in candidates winning without the majority of the popular vote.

Hunter Bates, a longtime aide to Sen. Mitch McConnell, donated $3,000 to McConnell’s campaign in December while he was on contract with pharmaceutical giant Amgen to lobby on “fiscal cliff issues,” according to recently released FEC reports. Soon after, Amgen received a $500 million dollar windfall in the fiscal cliff deal that was negotiated by Sen. McConnell. We are calling on Sen. McConnell to return all donations from Amgen and its lobbyists. We cannot let corporations win sweetheart deals with campaign donations.

Over and over the voters have had to fight for the right to easily register; the right to vote early; the right to vote by mail; the right to vote without ID poll taxing. And because voting is handled by the states, districts and counties, it has been a piecemeal fight; gaining ground in one area and then losing ground in another. It is time that there were national minimal standards for voting. A minimum number of early voting days. A minimum percentage of polling places based on population. A national voting registry to ease the registration process and take it out of the hands of partisan interest groups. No one should have to stand in line for hours to vote. Voting should be easy.

. The present system of local partisan control of elections, through gerrymandering and voter suppression, has produced an obstructionist minority controlled Congress.

Support immigration reform that provides an earned path to citizenship, preserves family unity, gives an opportunity to all those who were brought here as minors to contribute their talents in the U.S.,restores due process protections to immigration enforcement, provides an adequate number of visas to meet our need for low-skilled and high skilled laborers, and addresses the root causes of migration, such as persecution and economic disparity.

I want to initiate a radical change to the presidential election process to try and reduce the effect of party politics. It was so obvious to me this past campaign season that party politics does not work in the best interest of our nation and its people. I am so tired of the way the main stream parties manage campaigns and I feel we need to change the process so the people have more power in the decisions regarding our leadership.

Life long politicians only concern is being re-elected. Therefore, they act in their own best interest and cater to whomever is providing the most money for their re-election. The 22nd Ammendment sets term limits for the President of the United States. The time has come for Congress to have term limits as well. I have taken the 22nd Ammendment and modified it to apply to the Senate and House of Representatives.

Congress and our Senate elected officials sould only be allowed TWO terms. Right know we have the best congress and senate that money can buy. Big money lobbyist and the people who pay them are the ones running this country. Vote them out of office, and put the fear of us to work. If they fear loosing their gobs, the'll think twice about spending our money.
