• Prohibit "riders" being attached to unrelated bills.
    For decades, riders have been attached to bills. Some riders were so ill advised that legislation that was beneficial was "killed" because of it. Alternately, there have been bills (like the Federal budget) that have been passed inspite of totally unrelated riders that unfairly favored a select few...or harmed a great many because the original legislation had to pass regardless of the inappropriate rider(s). If these riders are so important, they should be debated on their individual merits and attached to related legislation, not used as weapons or sneak thieves.

  • Election / Voter Reform
    The disenfranchisement of voters in this country and obsolete voting machines and methods are a disgrace to our country. We have the ability to provide safe, honest electronic voting in our 50 states.

  • Congress reduce your own salary and practice what you preach!
    Congress has made cuts everywhere but their own salary and expense accounts. We need more teachers, firefighters, and help with student loans. Congress should bite the bullet and struggle too if they expect the rest of America to make ends meet on the drastic cuts they want to propose.

  • Term Limits: Congress shouldn't be a lifetime career
    Congress members are becoming life time appointees encouraging corruption and causing them to lose touch with constituents. They would be more likely to remain loyal to their constituency if they had to get a job among them when their term was up

  • True Citizens' Initiative
    It seems like many of the initiatives on our ballot have been the result of paid signature gatherers, This goes against the legitimate purpose of initiatives, which were designed to give private citizens, not corporations or the wealthy, a voice in the lawmaking process. I propose that paid signature gathering be made illegal and that initiatives that reflect the opinions of a sufficient number of citizens be the only ones that qualify for the ballot.

  • No "No Tax Hike" Pledge
    A Washington lobbyist, Grover Norquist, not elected to anything, has been pushing a pledge, for years, that hogties congress people's ability to act on their own. They take an oath on entering congress, and should not be pressured to sign any other sort of pledge, or oath.

  • City County Council
    The prosecutor's office is a public office. It is housed in a privately owned building. The owner of the building prevents us from rallying at the prosecutor's office. This means a private citizen prevented the public from having access to a public office. We are asking the city county council to move the prosecutor's office to a building where the public has access.

  • Expand Representation in Government
    I propose that the federal government lower the people per representative in the House of Representatives by expanding the number of representatives and make the House more accurately representative of the people. Back in the beginning of the Republic, the House had a case of less than 50,000 people per representative. Now each representative has over 600,000 people to serve. So I propose that We, the People enlarge the House to make it more representative of the People.
