  • Clean Elections: Maine Legislature
    In the last two years, as a result of the majority GOP legislature, Maine's clean elections have been virtually "wiped" out. This makes it very difficult for middle class citizens to run for our citizen political offices.

  • filibusters: voted on by the citizens
    any congressional fiilibuster should get 5 hours of discussion with each side getting 2.5 houres ... if no agreement after that it will go to a vote of the people at the next federal election. Federal election are every 2 years. Winners are 50% + 1

  • Congress: cut costs by giving up your retirement pensions and health care
    We are all affected because we get to pay for these. Congress might not be in such a hurry to cut Social Security and Medicare if they had to rely on them instead of receiving premium health care and fat pensions for life just because they served in Congress. Service should be an honor rather than a profession with lifetime rewards.

    THE ELIMINATION OF POLITICAL GRIDLOCK. There has to be the elimination of this stupid, self centered, sanctimonious, political gridlock which has taken over Washington DC! This lack of cooperation, politicization, lack of compromise and failure to work for the constituents which you represent and who voted for you has got to stop!!!!!!!

  • End the Grid-Lock, for the country's sake.
    For the past 2 years the republicans in the house have stopped just about every bill presented....enough is enough! The Republicans in the senate used the filabuster 157 times to stop any progress and they are doing all this because they are racially motivated against President Obama. It becoming more apparent as time goes on. Tell them to stop their bias and do the work they were sent to Washington to do!!!!

  • Compensation of Congressional Officials
    Given that Senators and Representatives are acting on behalf of their state, it should be up to each state to determine the compensation of their representatives. This petition seeks an Amendment to the US Constitution to shift control of the compensation (including pensions and health care) to the States and the residents of each state.

  • Entitlements for Congress
    I have to pay or be responsible for my own Retirement and Health Care and am also as a Taxpayer paying for Congress' Retirement and Health Care. I am middle class but they can very well afford to pay for their own. What they do for us does not entitle them to those "Perks" and they voted it in for themselves, we did not.
