1. Agreement by both parties, Vice-President Joseph Biden, Representatives of the US Government, more importantly the NRA to meet ASAP; effective IMMEDIATE HALT on all sales, barter of Assault and repeating high- and low-velocity weapons. 2. Further, agree to commit to coherent framework and adherence on compromise of legislation of weapons control. 3. To make this palatable to the NRA, and the GOP, there is room for COMPROMISE. This is clearly a system that is broken! Too many voices and suggestions that are unworkable. Before another tragic shooting occurs. The NRA does not want this anymore than anyone else.

The 4TH District is without a Council Representative and being under Todd Gloria's leadership is only leading him to Congress. We want Todd Gloria to listen to the constituents of the 4TH District when we came in masses to City Council and ask them NOT to vote on major issues that affect our District without our own representative. We didn't want the Port Commission vote to take place along with 2 other City Council Members and Todd ruled to have the vote anyway. We want an open and fair Democratic process!

Congress has worked less than 200 days in calandar year 2012 the average pay for a congressman is $174,000 the average American family is $36,000, which is 4 times greater should we not expect 4 times the work Congress is notoriously known for not getting the job done. So let's make their jobs pay performance based. The easiest thing to do for any legislator is to show up for votes and many do not. So if you are a no show you do not get paid. No one in congress has the right not to show up for their job and be able to get paid. This is basic to any employee employer relationship, you must show up on time and be prepared to do your daily diligence. Congress has also been working less days per week, and months but they keep getting pay increases. If Congress decide to leave early and not complete "We The People", business their pay should reflect that. They should not receive full pay for no work or partial work.

This is petition is to prevent constant legislation being brought to the House or Senate floors for votes and neither party has enough votes to pass or repeal said legislation, (ie Health Care Reform Act vote to be repealed by Republican House 35 times). Every time Congress brings a bill to the floor for voting it cost taxpayers millions of dollars. This is waste that adds to countries deficit and could be cut out completely. One way to target this partisan deadlock in Congress is to penalize the party Headquaters by a fine. Another way is to deduct a 1/2 percent point loss to voters voting priveledges for 3 to 6 months. This is a way to get Congress doing "WE THE PEOPLE", business again and stop partisan gridlock.

Something is broken in Congress. The filibuster has been distorted into a weapon in a partisan war, effectively making legislative progress impossible, imperiling essential policies supported by the American people, and blocking vitally important judicial nominations. As the fiscal cliff negotiations made clear, Washington is deeply divided. The Senate needs to reform its rules in order to ensure that these divisions do not jeopardize the progress we need to make on jobs, climate change, immigration, and more. It's time for the Senate to pass common-sense rules reforms to end routine obstruction and ensure that the Senate will once again be able to address the critical issues facing our country.

Gerrymandering - the setting of voting districts by the party in power has gone on for too long and has gotten too extreme. Voting districts no longer remotely reflect rational geographic boundaries or population centers, but instead are drawn just to keep the party in power, in power. We need Federal guidelines to help set rational voting districts, which will hopefully make it easier for the majority of citizens to vote a candidate out of office if they feel they need to.

If you're sick & tired of obstructionists holding the United States hostage, denying civil equality for ALL citizens, & spreading hate, sign this petition to begin cleaning out scum like him, out of our government!

Cobell payments (Indian Trust Settlement) being sent to wrong addresses. See article in Indian County - http://indiancountrytodaymedianetwork.com/article/cobell-payments-being-sent-wrong-addresses-special-master-appointed-146498 I am one of thousands of American Indians affected by the BIA's handling of the Cobell distribution of checks. This lawsuit is the largest in US history and the mishandling of hundreds of millions in oil, gas and mineral payments to American Indians.

The American public has suffered enough under this "Hatfield & McCoy" Congress. Our Congressmen have their own agenda, which seems to ignore what the people want and need. The American people should be the ones to vote on our nation's spending cuts. It's our money. List the budgeted items and let us determine which ones to cut spending.

We are all shocked about the amount of money and time spent by politicians campaigning. This last November, we were sick of the constant TV ads, Robo-Calls and shocked at the total amount of money spent of campaigning. If a law is passed to reduce the amount of time that can be spent on a campaign to 90 days, it will reduce the amount of time we have to view ads, receive unsolicited calls and hopefully reduce the amount of money spent on campaigns.

Congress is in an incestuous feedback loop, feeding on taxpayer money whenever and wherever they can get their hands on it. The longer they are up there, the better they are at working the system to their benefit. They bribe their constituents back home with ill-gotten gains so they can stay in office until they get sick or die.

Equal rights for all citizens of the United State.
