  • Retirement benefits for elected officials
    As we talk about the national budget and cutting spending, I believe that the taxpayer is forgetting about the bill we are paying for officials who have either lost an election or simply just retire. I believe they should be responsible for some of thier own costs after leaving office.

  • Let's abolish the Electoral College
    The electoral college is an outdated system that is both no longer necessary due to a more informed populous and interfering with true democratic decisions in America. United States' citizens should vote in direct democratic elections in which each voter accounts for a single vote, and where it is up to the people directly to decide the fate of their politics.

  • Reform US Senate Filibuster Rules
    The US Senate rules need to be changed to encourage bipartisan debate in order to conduct the people's business. All Americans have suffered from the inability of Congress to reach consensus in a timely manner on important issues. Part of the problem is time wasted in the Senate by increased rigidity on procedural questions and escalation of the use of the filibuster as a way of impeding legislative progress. There is still a window of opportunity, but only a few days left, for the Senate to change the rules for the new congressional term.

  • Who sponsors add-ons?
    As a liberal Democrat, I am just as concerned about the games our politicians play as rabid right-wingers are. The add-ons to the Fiscal Cliff bill and the Sandy Relief bill infuriate me. I believe we should demand to know who the sponsors are for any earmarks to any legislation.

  • Congress Pay for Performance
    America's middle class earns a paycheck based on the work we do. If we don't get our job done then we don't get paid or we take a pay cut. Let's give our elected Senators and Representatives in Congress a 20% pay cut. They are failing to do their jobs.

  • Suspend All Legislative and Executive Compensation
    As a Veteran, I am personally disgusted by every single member of the US House, Senate and Presidential administration's inability to pass a satisfactory budget in a timely fashion. If our Soldiers, Sailors, Marines and Airmen aren't getting the compensation they were guaranteed (vis a vis: 3 square meals a day), and our veterans are unable to secure work and/or the contractually guaranteed benefits they are entitled to, then the officers of government whose jobs only exists due to the continued sacrifice of volunteer warriors should cease to draw payment and benefits immediately.

  • Cut Pentagon Budget
    All Americans have paid for the bloat and theft and overcharging in the U.S Pentagon budget; we pay for this theft on a daily basis. Our Pentagon budget is larger than the combined military budgets of all the nations in the world!
