There would be no campaigning of or for this President while he/she was in office. Campaigning would not take the President away from their duties as President. One 6 year term would give each President more time to accomplish their goals for our country.

We, as American citizens, want a change in Congress's benefit program. 1. They should not decide their own raises. 2. They should retire with only social security, like their constituents. 3. They should accept medicare or Obamacare for medical insurance. They need to live and manage the way we are forced to, and be considerate of the people who elect them.

President Obama has criticized the Citizens United decision and said a constitutional amendment to overrule it may be necessary. (see http://bit.ly/Ub9cxd ) But will he fight for it? The answer may be up to us. In his victory speech, President Obama said to Americans that the election... "doesn’t mean your work is done. The role of citizens in our democracy does not end with your vote. America’s never been about what can be done for us. It’s about what can be done by us together through the hard and frustrating, but necessary work of self-government." Now, while the memory of $6 billion spent on the election -- and of the ugly, divisive ads that money bought -- is still fresh, is the moment for us to urge President Obama to lead on this issue. Imagine how much better that money could have been spent. And imagine how much stronger America would be.

Every member of Congress, upon defeat or retirement, even after only one term, is presently entitled to a pension of full pay for life. They should receive the same as anyone on Social Security. The same rules should apply to them as apply to everyone else

Congressional leaders in the Republican ranks want to repeal the Affordable Care Act (a.k.a Obamacare), yet their health coverage is free and their retirement is free. It is time for the members of Congress to ante up and pay for their own health coverage and retirement if they wish to deny American citizens affordable care and Social Security. After all, they should lead by example.

Real wages have declined for the past 30 years....and this affects almost everybody. Even if you don't earn minimum wage, your paycheck is in fact influenced by it. This apply for people that make less than $70,000.00, which is the majority of the people...Let's at least go back to 1968.

HOLD CONGRESS ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS (MORE NOTABLY, THEIIR INACTIONS). IN AMERICA YOU SHOULD GET COMPENSATED FOR WHAT YOU DO, NOT WHAT YOU DON'T DO. THE GREATEST IMPEDIMENT TO PROGRESS IN AMERICA TODAY IS CONGRESSIONAL INACTION. WE NEED TO CHANGE THE POWER CONGRESS HAS IN DECISIONS THAT ARE VITAL TO THE PROGRESS AND THE VERY SURVIVAL OF THIS COUNTRY.

Insurance and pharmaceutical companies along with banks and rich Americans are buying the votes and decisions of our government.

Critical issues in the Senate like the fiscal cliff, making sure our veterans have jobs when they come home and taking steps to combat climate change are stalled as a result of overuse of the filibuster. We need your support to send a clear, unequivocal signal. These issues are being negotiated right now. Will you join us – immediately – and add your name to our petition?

Faced with some of the worst situations our country has ever endured, the Congress is impotent with the current regs which allow for a mere phone call to stymy action. With filibuster reform, the Congress will be be compelled to grant new proposals a fairer hearing, and vote accordingly.

Make them responsible for their own stuff not all of us!

Concerned citizens in Los Angeles have prepared this petition to oppose a local measure being sponsored by multimillionaire Republican Richard Riordan that would limit retirement security and incur a loss of current city revenues.
