• Limited Terms and perks in Congress and the Senate
    We limit the terms for our President. We should also limit the terms for Senators, and Congressmen/women. Some of these people get into office and plant themselves there. They get re-elected over and over, but they soon lose touch with what the people really want. We need to get people in these offices that care more about the American people, than gaining power, prestige, and money. If the Senators and Congressmen/women we have now are any example; WE NEED TO CLEAN HOUSE! For the past four years nothing has been accomplished because Republicans and Democrats alike have cared more about their personal agendas than what is BEST for ALL AMERICANS. I bet if we based their pay on how well the economy is doing, we'd have job growth, cheaper medical care, lower gas prices, etc... We need tighter regulations on the Senate and Congress, after all they do work for us, the American people.

  • Abolish Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission
    We need to eliminate the rights of corporations to financially back political candidates. The two major parties spent nearly 1.75 BILLION DOLLARS vying for the presidency in 2012. Of that colossal number 278 MILLION DOLLARS came from individual and organization Super PACs. Undisclosed donor funds ("dark money") is estimated at 400 MILLION DOLLARS. Because of the Supreme Court's 2010 decision on Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, unions, corporations and nonprofit organizations are allowed to give unlimited funds toward their choice for president of the United States. This Supreme Court decision all but eliminates the democratic process. It must be vetoed by the people.

  • Write in Ron Paul for President
    Can you sleep at night knowing that the Presidential candidates will not be able to change America for the better. The two-party system in America has essentially become a one-party system where both candidates support bailing out bankers and ongoing war. We can't change that in 2012, but we can still stand up once again as real Americans and make a statement with our vote.

  • Federal Sector Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
    The Federal Sector EEOC does not allow a fair chance for employees who have been wronged through discriminatory practices. Allowing the government the freedom to say discrimination occurred or did not occur is pointless. We all know it is time this authority is transferred to a neutral party far from the federal agency involved. Almost all cases are currently decided against the complainant. It's long overdue that this needs to be changed. Too many bonifide complainant have been wrongfully discharged with no chance of getting reinstated to their positions because the federal sector EEOC supports agencies versus bringing justice to those wrongfully discharged and/or discriminated against

  • Know the Constitution
    The Constitution is the bedrock upon which the United States is built, yet it seems that many of those running this country have never read it. Comments by some of the current members of Congress are downright scary. Last year I saw the test for becoming a naturalized citizen. It's not easy. I'm guessing there are many in Congress, who could not pass this test. Since people writing the laws should actually have a clue about the country they want to govern, I'm proposing an amendment stating that those who want to run for Federal office must be able to pass this test.

  • Congressional benefits should not be better than those of every citizen they represent.
    Congress makes too many decisions that put Congressional representatives above the people they represent. They would vote more honorably if they had the same vested interest in the laws they pass as we do, especially as regards health insurance.

  • Impeach Congress
    In order for Congress to create Legislation to help reduce our deficits, they must work together not have a non-congressman in control of their being able to negotiate - Grover Norquist is not an elected official.

  • Eliminate Electoral College
    Quite simply, our election system is not based on one-citizen/one-vote. By eliminating the Electoral College and going to a popular vote, we won't have another Supreme Court deciding who gets to be president. There is no Electoral College at any level other when voting for president. It's in the way of free and fair elections.
