In the spirit of less government and budgetary constraint, Congress should reduce their own budget by 10% as an example of how less government is good for everyone.

Speaker Baynard should be removed from office. His refusal to work with the president based on his loyalties to the very rich demonstrates his failure to understand his responsibilities to all Americans not just his cronies !

With the fiscal cliff in front of us it is about time that Congress be brought to task. They have known about this deadline all year and yet have spent no time on what is one of the most important issues for the US in decades. Obama put his ideas before us in the election and he was voted back into office. It is Congress that is standing in the way of a compromise. It seems that Obama is the only one compromising.

Congress refuses to do the jobs they have been elected to perform. We have all been affected by this issue, we need to let them know we are tired of their free ride on taxpayer money.

Working very little for High Wages and Entiitlements

Presidential nominations are yet another source of contentious and unnecessary political partisanship. Many judgeships sit vacant because the Senate will not act. Qualified candidates for all levels of leadership also are becoming targets, rather than being considered for their experience or qualifications. All this costs Americans money, slows government, and discourages talented and competent candidates. This must stop. So please, sign the petition below and show your disgust for this form of paralyzing Washington obstructionism. Tell the Senate, we want action.

I am putting forth this petition because like many Americans I'm sick of "Posturing Politicians" in Congress.

The presidential appointment process is yet another victim of Congress' inability to act. Like many American, I am exasperated by politics bringing our government to a halt, leaving positions unfilled when America has major issues to face. Let's stop this nonsense. Congress should be required to vote upon all Presidential nominations, either to confirm or reject, within 90 days of nomination.

Barney Frank has done an outstanding job representing Massachusetts in Congress. He is not interested in running for the rest of John Kerry’s term in the Senate. Because he knows how Washington works and can hit the ground running, he’s the logical choice for Governor Patrick to appoint to this interim position. Let’s let Governor Patrick know how we feel.

For too long We the People have been the bargaining chip for "Off the Cliff" negotiations. Certain members of Congress are demanding cuts in Social Security and Medicare. Entitlements working people have paid into all their working lives. There is little doubt that the most lucrative government entitlements per individual are those afforded to Members of Congress. If Congress insists on putting the hard earned entitlements of America's working people on the negotiating table then they should, in all fairness, put their own entitlements on the table as well. We demand cuts in holiday leave, medical benefits, salary, sick leave and retirement benefits for all members of Congress.

States should not be allowed to redistrict counties, or buroughs to avoid the will of the populace. The Republicans have been re-arranging districts in states to do this for a number of years, and it must stop.

How many times could a popular vote have made or broken an election? What would happen if third party candidates were unhindered by battleground states, electoral colleges, and corporate money? How different would our country be if the people could pick a candidate closer to their values and beliefs, without fear that the "other guy" would win? What would it mean? It would mean the American way our early founding fathers and mothers initially intended at the birth of our nation some 230 years ago.
