In order to avoid any future presidential candidate who has NOT received the popular vote from getting in office, the archaic electoral college (EC) system should be replaced with a more modern, efficient system. When the EC first came in to existence, times were very different and the transfer of information was far slower and inefficient; today information transfer is immediate and it is time to revise our voting process.

As a veteran of the US Armed Forces, I've watched, especially over the last decade, our US Constitution take a real beating with government policies that undermine, disintegrate and flat remove basic human rights guaranteed to US citizens by our Constitution. As a veteran who took an oath to defend and protect the United States of America and her Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, the lack of regard for our Constitution by elected officials in every branch of government - executive: the president and vice-president, legislative: the US Senate and House of Representatives and judicial: the Supreme Court and all other courts of law - is beyond appalling. These elected and appointed governing individuals take the same oath of service upon taking office, yet they are not upholding that oath by selling out to special corporate interests to the detriment, risk and danger of US citizens who elect them to office. One such horrible judicial decision granted "personhood" to corporations. Corporations are concerned with profit, often at great human cost as we increasingly see in our country today. We must restore our Constitution to it's full authority as the law of the land. And the elected and appointed officials who swear an oath to protect and defend the USA and its Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic need to be reminded - upon pain of being removed from office - that their oath of service is not just a string of words to be ignored for personal gain of power or profit. That oath is a sacred trust to the people of the United States of America.

I heard last night in election coverage "2 years & 2 billion dollars later." A president in their first term has to spend the second half of their term campaigning to try be re-elected. This petition is about presidential election reform. It's a circus.

Let us Vote for ourselves! No more Electoral College!

Requesting ALL Of Congress to WORK together, Tell the Republicans to Stop Obstructionism and follow 220 years of History, from the Founding fathers of Compromise and Cooperation to put the PEOPLE of the USA #1 Priority.

In this election 6 billion dollars was spent across our nation to inundate the public in ugly adds and pamphlets. I am sickened by the lies and vicious attacks that are dividing our nation. Corporate interests are spending millions to fund candidates supporting their personal agendas. This is an unhealthy situation for democracy. Let us make our voices heard to our government officials to enact legislation to limit corporate spending.

A Restraining Order against Grover Norquist is herewith Petitioned for holding hostage the Republican Representatives and Senators in the Capitol.

The BLM is rounding up all the wild horses and selling them to buyers from slaughter houses. It is costing millions of dollars. They kill many horses just in the course of the round-ups. Horses are run until their hooves break off, until pregnant mares give birth, until foals and others are injured and have to be destroyed. Thirteen foals were lost in a single round up in Nevada last winter. The BLM does not have the facilities or the money to maintain the thousands of horses they have imprisoned. The animals are not properly cared for. Stop this senseless slaughter of innocent wild creatures! Enforce the Wild Horse and Burro Act of 1971. Stop the BLM !

Republicans have been abusing the filibuster, requiring 60 votes to get practically anything passed in the Senate. Americans have voted for Democrats to control the Senate, not Republicans. I want to reinstate democracy in the Senate.

Why aren't ALL facets of federal elections (voting rules, voting machines/software, etc.) under federal jurisdiction? These issues that affect the entire country should not be decided by local politicians and should not be outsourced to private corporations! It's time to create a law!

Obstructionists did not do their work for which they were hired in the House of Representatives. Filibustering to fiddle away the House bills without passage by debate, compromise concurrence and completion is self-evident of their failure. Their obdurate, intransigent, obstinate obstructionism has been deliberately perpetrated for four years against their employers, their voting constituents (not the non-voting corporations), who employed them to legislate laws they could not for themselves, for their common benefit .This deliberate violation of their contract of duty.to legislate requires the Representatives in the House their fair and just return of their unearned salaries of the past four years..

From an old and busted voter registration system, to voters being turned away after standing in line for an entire day, voting in America is ridiculously hard. We're ashamed, and by 2014, we demand our elected leaders make it easier for citizens to cast their votes.
