  • Reforming the Electoral College
    Abolishing the winner take all of the Electoral College. Base the election on a percentage of the voters for each candidate. I think we are all affected by who is President of the United States. For a Candidate to win the popular vote, but to lose the election does not seem right.

  • scrap gridlock with National Referendum
    America is doomed to marginal or negative social progress as long as we put up with our 18th century political system. We do NOT need others to vote for us on national issues of major importance. Today's technology makes dependence on this antiquated approach really stupid

  • Cut the fat from congress
    While the congress is busy trying to cut the social safty net to, in their word cut the deficit, They are too well paid and the benefits extremely generous, I feel we the people who they are supposedly there to work for us seem to have forgotten that, very little has been done for at least the last 3 years except to get the USA downgraded and create a hostile non-working congress.

  • Congressional Oversight Act
    Can congress be trusted, any longer, to represent their country without oversight? Threatening, for a second time, to refuse to raise the debt ceiling to enable payment of bills they, themselves, have incurred - meaning more debt for each of their constituents, is an outrage. Working fewer and fewer days when the country has so many problems is intolerable. Citizens must be protected.

  • IMPEACH CONGRESS
    With the satisfaction level of the Congres at an all time low of 12 % and seemingly nothing getting done its time to get the rascals out of there and replace them with representatives who will be patriots and make the hard decisions and do what is best for our country and not for politics.

  • Congressional Term Limits
    I think its high time we, the people, voted members of congress to strict term limits of 2 terms before they need to step down. The founding fathers never intended these offices to become lifetime positions. We would also need to do away with the lifetime payments for them after they leave office. That is part of the reason why the US is so deep in debt.

  • Health Insurance rates for our Congress
    We are all equal under the law. It is unfair that Congress has health insurance and rates that are different from the rest of the Country.

  • Fix Congress -- Stop Congressional District Gerrymandering
    Fix Congress -- Stop Congressional District Gerrymandering. Congressional Gerrymandering is destroying our Congress and our political system. Elected Congressman from Gerrymandered Congressional districts have no concern for the American people. Congressman from Gerrymanderd Congressional Districs are highly polarized extemists. To save our Congress, and make our Congress responsible to the American people, we must stop Congressional District Gerrymandering.

  • Keep Congress Working for The People
    This past congress has been found, statistically, to be the congress getting the least done in history. The congressional calendar requires very short work weeks and many holiday recesses. It's time American voters get their money's worth, and the way to assure this is to have legislators punch a time clock and get paid ONLY for the hours they are actually at work in Washington. Paying them for fund-raising, junkets and other time is of no benefit to we, the people.
