Bipartisanship for the next 4 yearsAll elected officials should sign a pact similar to the Grover Norquist no tax pledge. Agreeing that they will work with and compromise with the other party. Regardless of the outcome of current presidential elections.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lee R Lemon III

State and Federal OathsThose in state and federal government are required to take and keep an Oath to get into - and stay in - the position they occupy. They need to be held accountable for not doing as sworn. Not keeping the oath as required hurts all American citizens and those legally allowed to be here in the USA since many illegal laws, bills executive orders, have been implemented which is, and can be injurious to "We the People". I am calling on all US citizens to require that those who do not keep the Oath be immediately removed from office, and replaced; if the offense is serious enough to also be arrested and prosecuted for their crime(s).35 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Teresa Henson

Government of the people, by the peopleAll too of ten political candidates BUY their positions. This is not the American way. A candidate should only receive support fron an individual that could vote for that candidate. The present presidential election is spending many millions of dollars given by big business, labor unions, super funds, this should not be allowed.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Allan Trimble

Campaign Phone Calls Need RegulationI have received 3 phone calls a week for the last 8 weeks from my local Democratic campaign office. I can't imagine what it must be like if in a swing state! The calls border harassment when you've asked to be removed, but continue to receive calls. According to the office official, there are multi-databases with my information and no way to be removed from them. We need a federal law mandating campaign's manage their databases, and like with the unsubscribe option on campaign emails, remove yourself from these phone calls.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Gary Fox

Lie in Office: Go to JailIt is a given in our political system that politicians are liars. Why is that? We are facing critical problems, unprecedented problems, and yet our office holders and office seekers routinely lie in order to promote the agendas of people who seek, mainly, personal profit at the cost of the nation. We are at a point where lying politicians can literally destroy the future of our country, and indeed the world. I'm calling for mandatory jail time for office seekers and office holders who make any misstatement of fact, of any kind, in a campaign or in office. Lying should be illegal. Lying in public office is treason.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Thomas Crawford

TRUE VOTER’S CHOICE: Add “None of the Above’ to Federal Election BallotsOver time, I have heard a great number of people express dissatisfaction with most of the presidential and congressional candidates presented by both major parties. Many did, and do, not bother to vote for this reason. Others still felt that it was their civic duty to participate in elections, but often lacked enthusiasm for most candidates. Their justification to choose one opponent over another was, and often still is, one of two mantras: 1. “I choose the lesser of two evils” or 2. “I rather elect the devil I know than the devil I don’t” Unfortunately, candidates believe that in order to get the most votes they must please all people. They try to not offend anyone by tailoring their campaign speeches and slogans to different audiences and telling them what they want to hear, taking no clear stand on any issue. This leads to parties selecting their most mediocre candidates. Voters are faced with the dilemma of being forced to pick someone with whom they cannot identify or empathize. The result is one of the lowest voter turnouts of all democracies and the winning candidates often not representing The People – thus, in the long run threatening our Democracy. Adding an additional row at the bottom of each candidate box on ballots for federal elections (president and congress) stating “None of the Above” gives voters the choice to reject all listed candidates. By giving voters this alternative, they can show their displeasure with the current antiquated system. A “win” of “None of the Above” will create an impasse that should compel politicians to reform it by creating a new, viable and fair system that is approved by the American people and gives them a broader and just choice in selecting its representatives.12 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Dieter Bartels

Save the Social Security system.I'm 74 years old, disabled, totally dependent on Social Security and a small pension. I will be unable to stay in my house if there is any cut to my Social Security - I won't be at all 'secure', and neither will the disabled veterans who put their lives on the line for this country., nor the poor (mostly children) who are literally starving.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Rachel
