• Let's go back to 1968
    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.

  • Grindout Gridlock: Forge Filibuster Reform!
    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.

  • Healthcare for One and All
    As someone who suffered through two years of chronic back pain while I searched for insurance to cover the necessary surgery, I can testify that our healthcare system doesn't work. Lack of healthcare ruins lives and destroys families. The petition asks that the same healthcare enjoyed by our elected officials is provided as an affordable option to every resident of the state. If our elected officials don't think this issue is important enough to demand action, let them walk a mile in the shoes of the under and uninsured. Let them forfeit their own affordable healthcare, and we'll see how quickly their minds change.
