Remove Boehner as Speaker of the HouseSpeaker Boehner has no concern for the well being of the citizens of the United States of America, especially since he has pulled the bill to finance the restoration of the devastation caused by Hurricane Sandy. Congressmen that follow this same thinking should be voted out of office.13 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Maxine Samek

ONE TERM LIMIT! RE-ELECT NO ONE!!To have members of the House of Representatives and Senate limited to one term. This would break the machinery of election corruption, limit lobbyist relationships’ with elected officials, keep our government and democracy intact, and clear the way for new policies versus the current log jammed political process. Put the politicians to work for the people not themselves! Put the people's will first, NOT the politicians!33 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Dennis Cleasby

Stop Automatic Pay Raises for Congress and the PresidentBefore the passage of "CONTRACT WITH AMERICA," Newt Gringrich's conservative doctrine of promises, Congress had to vote for any pay raises. Hidden within the Contract With America was a law to end that practice and to give Congress and the President automatic pay raises based on COLA. Instead of voting to get a pay raise, Congress now just has to vote to stop an automatic yearly pay raise--something they have not done once. Middle Class American's are hurting and losing jobs to overseas countries. Some of the off-shoring of jobs is actually promoted by these same companies being able to deduct the moving expenses to go off-shore and overseas. Meanwhile, Congress and the President keep getting automatic COLA raises every year. Middle Class American's do not work in any job that provides an automatic pay increase. Why should members of Congress and the President be given such a blessing of the American taxpayer? Congress' approval rating is the lowest in history--meaning they are not working FOR the American people in any significant way. Yet, again, Congress keeps getting a COLA-based income raise yearly. Members of Congress spend more time out of Washington raising more and more money for their own re-election, which means they spend less and less time in Washington passing laws and bringing jobs back to hard-working deserving American taxpayers who actually pay the salary of these members of Congress. This has got to stop! The American taxpayer needs to remind each member of Congress that they work for us--not for the corporations, not the Lobbyists, not the Special Interests. The American taxpayer needs to end Congressional and Presidential automatic pay increases and demand that Congress return to the very public and open system in place ever since our nation's founding: that is, having to VOTE for their pay increases. The gravy train has long ended for the average Middle Class taxpayer (if there ever was such a time for the average taxpayer/worker in America), and it is time that Congress and the President feel the strain of living on ever decreasing incomes that "We The People" have now come to learn to do as our economy crumbles due to policies written in Congress to encourage off-shoring of American jobs. It is time "We The People" end the gravy train for members of Congress and the President that the Contract With America put in to place and to petition our members of Congress to end all automatic pay increases and return to voting for each and any pay increase.324 of 400 SignaturesCreated by EDWARD DEMPEWOLF

Expel Rep. Boehner from office under US Constitution Article 1 Section 5, for disorderly behavior...The Speaker of the House, Rep. Boehner (R-OH 8th District) refuses to bring Sandy Aid to the floor for a vote. This petition proposes the immediate expulsion of Rep. Boehner (R-OH 8th District) from the 112th and 113th Congresses, under Article 1 Section 5 of the US Constitution for disorderly behavior and criminal negligence. The States affected by Super Storm Sandy are some of America's oldest. Since States like New York, New Jersey and Connecticut fought to form this Nation 236 years ago, no storm has done more damage to the landscape of our coast. Rep. Boehner's inaction is unconscionable. He elevates partisan ideology over the needs of his fellow citizens and brings shame to our Capitol, to our Founders and to us all. Please sign this petition urging his immediate removal.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by David Levin
