• Repeal Citizens United
    The Citizens United ruling giving corporations personhood and allowing corporations to bribe their way into government must be repealed. California, Hawaii, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico, Rhode Island and Vermont have all passed resolutions through their legislatures, and majorities of legislators in Connecticut and Maryland sent letters to Congress calling for a constitutional amendment opposing the ruling; Colorado and Montana just passed the resolution as a result of the election on Tuesday. I want Pennsylvania voters to have their say.

  • Make Congress WORK
    Congress is not working, literally. Nothing gets done not only because of the idea of "gridlock," but also because legislators never have to get together to work things out. Make legislators "normal" federal employees, with two weeks of vacation per year, all federal holidays, and that is it. By being forced to be physically with the opposition, legislators will find common ground.

  • Term Limits for Congress
    I believe that our country would be better off if politicians were elected to serve the people, and not themselves with career politics. I haven't met a single person that disagrees with term limits for congress.

  • Voting Improvement Process VIP
    Long lines that stretch for blocks, standing and waiting for 4, 5, 7 hours is not helpful or healthy to our democracy. Voters who are white collar professionals, doctors, lawyers, they can afford to take long amounts of time away from work, not so for those who are nurses, teachers, bus drivers. Healthy people could stand in line for hours at a time, but those with disabilities, those with health problems, they are not physically able to stand for hours on end just to cast a ballot. This petition is created to force political leaders from all sides to resolve this issue, to improve the process for voting, to encourage and foster participation in American democracy by the entire voting eligible population.

  • End the Filibuster
    Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has indicated that the GOP will hold its course during Obama's second term. Ending the filibuster is within the realm of possibility by repealing the anachronistic "cloture" rule in the Senate at the beginning of the new session of congress. Give hope and change a real shot at happening by urging your senator to end the cloture rule.

  • Fix the Filibuster now!
    Harry Reid must have the courage to change the filibuster rules in the Senate on the first day of the new congress. This is the only way to achieve the priorities of the President in his second term without facing total obstruction from Senate Republicans.

  • Tell Mitch McConnell
    Even Mitt Romney admits it. In his concession speech, he said: "At a time like this, we can't risk partisan bickering. Our leaders have to reach across the aisle to do the people's work." House Speaker John Boehner said "If there is a mandate, it is a mandate for both parties to find common ground and take steps together to help our economy grow and create jobs." However, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell had this to say: "The voters have not endorsed the failures or excesses of the president's first term. They have simply given him more time to finish the job they asked him to do together" with a balanced Congress."
