I am starting this petition, because I am sick of the life-time politicians we have in Congress. Congress continues to act as if the people don't matter, and only do things when it benefits them. The amount of rotation in Congress is at an all-time low, due to peoples disenchantment of our system. I believe if there were shorter terms and no life-time politicians for Lobbyist to corrupt, Congress might do more for the people that voted them into Office.

The NRA has spent the past six weeks holding bizarre press events and taking public actions that show how out of touch they are with the rest of the country. Rep. Murphy is representing the interests of gun manufacturers instead of representing the wishes of his constituents. Citizens want common sense gun legislation.

Return to a more efficient and effective form of city government. As a long-term city employee and union president for over nine years I have seen the problems, poor stewardship, and lack of professional training and behavior of city management. It's time to return to a more beneficial leadership process.

It is time we made our democracy more dynamic and meaningful. The President of the United States should be elected by a direct vote. Whoever gets the most total votes in the country should be President. There is no need for an electoral college.

Our representative democracy is broken. The only way to fix it is to amend the Constitution and overturn Citizens United. There are only two ways to amend the Constitution: 1. Through Congress 2. Through our State Legislatures via an Article V Convention. Congress could not pass something as basic and reasonable as the Disclose Act (disclosing who is giving money to candidates). Since Congress is the source of the problem we cannot trust them to solve the problem. That leaves only one option: The Article V Convention called by State Legislatures. State Legislators have the power to compel Congress to call a convention to fix our democracy and restore the republic. Any amendment has to be ratified by 38 states whether proposed by Congress or a convention. Texas can be the first state to call for an Article V Convention to restore our representative democracy by passing HJR-94 and its Senate companion resolution.

When the United States was first founded the Federal Government had two jobs; maintaining roads and national defense. This country was founded on the right for each individual to have the right to practice and express their beliefs freely as long as it doesn't infringe upon the right of others to do the same. The current policies and laws the Federal Government impose on Americans are a disgrace to the foundation of this country. It's time for the people to take their power back!

Since the PAC bill was enacted, contributions from billionaires and corporations have damaged our Democracy. We must recall it as soon as possible.

Electorial college

We seniors are already living beneath the cost of living. These monies were deducted from our personal or our spouses earnings for many years and much of this was borrowed on by the government over the years. The Supreme Court now says this law is not legal-well, if not, then give us back the money that was deducted, and leave the whole thing alone from now on!

The post office is not having problems because of Email. Congress has required them to fund their retirement program for 75 years ahead. This is unprecedented. they are also restricted from providing other services that would make money. They have been forced stop Saturday deliveries to save money. This might just be the beginning. They just need the pension funding requirement made reasonable.

We should have a national committee to bring all information into a single committee to see where there is familar policies and actions on a state by state level and incorporate those into a single policy to move upon each state's governing bodies. This will allow us to track state policies to build a national agenda of policy reform that will ensure the right of one person and one vote in all national elections.

The Fiscal Cliff, Sequestration, and the House declining to raise the debt ceiling.
