• Reform the U.S. Federal election system
    Presidential elections should be decided by the popular vote, not by the Electoral College system which is now outdated. The present system makes it possible for a candidate to win the election with less than 50% of the popular vote. Modern technology can ensure that the president is elected by the majority of voters.

  • Talking Filibuster
    Obama needs to appoint judges, a Secretary of State, etc. The "silent filibuster" allows senators to block appointments and other business without disclosing their names. (Note that the first day of a new session is the only day to change the rules in the Senate.) Insist the the Senate reintroduce the classic "talking filibuster" on day one of the next session of congress.

  • NO More Super PACs!
    Did you receive multiple emails a day during this election cycle, asking for money? I sure did. And it's the fault of the uber-rich right-wing super PACs. If they raise obscene amounts of money, what choice does the other side have but to try to match these dollars? Our elections should NOT be about money! The role of these super PACs in elections MUST be stopped.

  • Get MONEY'S INFLUENCE out of politics!
    Before we can truly change the way our country is legislated, we have to change the influence of money in politics. Money's power must be reduced if not eliminated then our politicians' votes would be based purely on what they thought was right for our country instead of who they are indebted to.

  • Lee Terry excludes Bellevue to ensure victory
    The Nebraska Legislature removed Bellevue from Nebraska's Second Congressional District and put Nebraska's oldest community into the First Congressional District. The Republican majority in the state legislature did this to shore up the republicans' chances in the Second Congressional District. Bellevue, which is democratically heavy, was replaced in the Second District by western Sarpy County, which is very republican. This ensured a victory by Lee Terry.
