• The Fiscal Cliff
    I feel that most Americans are tired of politicians not working together. I am particularly tired of the wealthy not having to pay their share. If there are cuts, the wealthy have to give up equally. I will be retired soon. Congress needs to worry about the people in our country and not re-election.

  • Televise Senate Dem Caucus Debate on Filibuster
    The filibuster has been abused and that abuse has paralyzed our government. When the American people worked hard to overcome right-wing SuperPAC money and elected a Democratic Senate, it expected action. There can be no hiding behind closed doors. We want to see who votes to change or eliminate the filibuster and who does not.

  • Defeat Mitch McConnell in 2014
    It's time to rid the Senate of someone worked the last 4 years to "make Obama a one time president." He has obviously failed. We need Senators who represent the needs of their constituents and are working for the benefit of all of us, not their own personal agendas.

  • Ashley Judd should run for Mitch McConnell's Senate seat
    Very simple, Mitch McConnell is hell bent on stopping democrats from making any significant progress on any substantial issue and has brought Congressional business to a screeching holt by utilizing the dreaded filibuster. He must be challenged and Ashley Judd is democrats best shot at taking him down!

  • Impeachment proceedings for signers of the "Taxpayer Protection Pledge"
    This petition is to urge Representative Lamar Smith (R-TX), outgoing Chair of the House Committee on the Judiciary, or his successor, incoming Chair Representative Bob Goodlatte (R-VA), to initiate impeachment proceedings against every member of congress who has signed the "Taxpayer Protection Pledge" sponsored by "Americans for Tax Reform". The signers of this pledge have signed a sworn oath that contradicts their oath of office. Therefore, in fact, they do have mental reservations, and they do have purpose of evasion, a High Crime and Misdemeanor (perjury of oath).

  • Senators: Change Senate Filibuster Rules Now
    The Founding Fathers discussed the idea of a Super Majority to pass a law and rejected it. The filibuster was meant to give voice to the minority, not to allow tyrannical minority rule.

  • Behind door overturn of Jucicial decisions
    I am a pharmacist of 36 years, never a lawsuit, nor claim of fault. I had a claim by the Oregon Board of Pharmacy. I took this claim to a review/trial at the Board against an Assistant Attorney General. I was cleared of the charge after review by a Senior Administrative Judge. The Board went behind closed doors, rewrote to decision of the judge, and revoked my license to work in Oregon,in 17 places of judgement..Oregon .

  • Increase the size of the House of Representatives
    Increasing the size of the house would allow the American people to have a stronger voice in the government. Originally when the house first started in 1789 it had 65 members, one for every 60,000 inhabitants today the average member represents about 700,000 Americans. The disparity in representation for the American people is far too great.
