My petition is about our representatives in congress. I feel as though they should be paid by the hour since they take more vacations than anyone in America. Also I feel they should stop their cost of living raises they get every year until they do the job we sent them there to do.

I think it has been proven time and again that there are certain elements within our government that have made it clear they don't want to make decisions that move government forward. Instead they just want to stomp their feet like children and pout every time they don't get their way. That being the case, John Boehner seems to be a special case in that he has become the representation of government gridlock. I don't care what side of the political landscape you stand on. We are seeing with Boehner a man that has several times said that he is willing to sabotage our government system to get his way. Impeachment would send a message that we demand action from our government, and we will not stand any longer for government gridlock that makes the average American suffer while congress continues to get paid for inaction.

What is the purpose of pretending that we have a representative form of government when big money is allowed to continually subvert the democratic process? Personally, I once thought my vote was a partial buy in to this process, in addition to my responsibility to be a good citizen and participate in between elections by letting my representatives be aware of my opinion on key issues. But lobbies are an end-run around this entire process, producing disenfranchised citizens, apathetic voters, and on the extreme side, separatists who actively oppose the system.

Currently, with a few exceptions, virtually any amendment can be attached to a piece of legislation at both the Federal and State levels(there is at least one state that has a restriction in place). The intent of this petition would be to create necessary laws to prevent this from happening.

How do the courts transform a stay-at-home parent into a parent who only gets to spend every other weekend with the kids? The California Family Code contains a presumption of "shared custody," but fails to define what that means. As a result, judges routinely assign one parent primary custody and limit children to spending 4 days or less per month with the other parent. If a judge feel it is in the best interest of the child to spend less time with one parent, the judge should be required to specify what steps the noncustodial parent needs to take in order to be granted equal time with the child.

The election gave our President Obama a decisive victory, echoing the public's disgust with your continued failure to understand the will of the people. Our president now deserves your support for his program. Your failure to do the people's business will only increase the public's disgust with your tactics.

Have the politicians have to follow the same laws as the rest of the citizens.

The new House calendar for the 113th Congress was released on Friday, and if you thought the 112th Congress was unproductive—just wait, the 113th Congress is scheduled to work only 126 days in 2013. We elected our representatives to work on our behalf not take vacation two thirds of the year.

Wouldn't you have loved to have voted for Bill Clinton?

Tell Beahner and McCannel to stop playing politics with the economy and Americans. They should get to work now!
