To normalize rules in all Federal Elections in all 50 states in order to avoid confusion of voting rules from 1 state to the next. Such rules would make the election laws the same in every state for Federal elections or candidates since they are Federal elections or issues.

I don't believe that senators and congressman should be in power for as many times as re-elected. The president can only be re-elected once. Why should these people be in government for so long? Being in there for so long creates a seat of power and impunity

"Your apparent haggling over, what appear to be, baseless trumped-up issues related to such matters as Susan Rice's replacement and confirmation as Secretary of State is both unprofessional and counterproductive. Our national security should be our legislator's top priority."

Billions of dollars were spent on television ads in Las Vegas alone. This money was completely WASTED. Our schools are suffering and people go hungry and jobless while depending on welfare. That money could have been used for programs to help us build a better community. I think a national law should be passed to limit campaign contributions and advertising. The ads are ridiculous propaganda. THis should not be allowed to continue when we all know that it is wrong. Lets force politicans to actually DEBATE and EXPLAIN their positions with a series of national televised debates instead of wasting billions of dollars in ads. It is time for us to make a change in our failing political system. Instead of signing 'no new tax pledges', politicans should sign a " no more than 250,000 spent on advertising" pledge.

This petition is about unfair water bills in Baltimore and the law that allows the City of Baltimore to foreclose on a home for as little as a $250.00 outstanding water bill. I am a homeowner who occupies a single dwelling home in the city of Baltimore. I am being billed for an average daily consumption of 276 gallons. There are two people currently living in my home, my daughter and I; my grand-daughter is away in school, there are no leaks on my property. I had to pay a $1,500.00 water bill a few years ago at that time I had plumbing replaced from the street leading into my home. The plumbers informed me that the problem was not due to the street to house plumbing. City water is also used by county residents, however they do not have to pay for the use of city water. In closure; I do not operate a business that I would be expected to consume 276 gallons of water per day. If county residents utilize city water they should pay for the portions used by them, and last but not least homeowners living in Baltimore pay enormous water bills but we have continued water main breaks due to neglect of the upkeep of our water structure. I question where and how the money is spent from our bill payments?

Elizabeth Warren should be given a seat on the Senate Banking Committee.

In state after state, elected partisan secretaries of state directly control elections in a partisan manner. Fewer voting machines are provided to areas where the opposition party is strong than to areas dominated by the party in power. These partisan secretaries of state use their position to suppress votes and disenfranchise voters.

This petition is for the purpose of phasing out any and all retirement and health insurance programs paid for by the public and which are to the benefit of members of the House of Representatives, the U.S. Senate and the respective staves of both houses. Said retirement and health insurance programs shall phase out within two (2) years of the adoption of this law and any funds remaining in said programs shall be transferred to the Social Security and health insurance programs that are available to the general public. Further, on the date that said retirement and health insurance programs are phased out, said members of the House of Representatives, the U.S. Senators and the respective staves of both houses shall participate and benefit from the Social Security and health insurance programs that are available to the general public.

It is, in my mind, ridiculous that we are paying elected officials to campaign through a significant portion of their term in office. I believe that the length of time that campaigns by incumbents and all other office seekers can be run should be severely limited by law to a reasonable period of 4 months or less.

Allowing the residents of the Commonwealth of Virginia to propose legislation that politicians will not. If enacted, an indirect initiative would be first referred to the legislature, and then put to a popular vote only if not enacted by the legislature.

All Americans are affected by the, " National Debt ", and that old game of kick the can played out in the 1920's. We have a disfunctional government that betrayed America, outsourcing jobs for cheap labor avoiding tax'es,people hiding money in foreign banks to avoid tax'es.Tax breaks for oil companies,banks, corporations.Not to mention millions lost and stolen in foreign aide. Rep. Boehner explain.

The current Federal Reserve system, fractional reserve banking, and Debt Based Money has created chaos in the financial markets worldwide. End the Federal Reserve and change the monetary system to take away the ability of bankers to create money "out of thin air". Change the monetary system so that the government "spends" money into existence instead of the current system of private bankers "lending" (at high interest rate) money into existence. Require "full reserve" banking.
