Reducing the Federal Deficit with this act.

The Founding Fathers of this country did not intend for elected representatives to be lifers in congress. We need a grass roots referendum that ALL elected officials, no matter what branch of the legislative community they serve, be allowed MORE than 12 years in their seat (that's two House of Representative terms and 3 Senatorial terms).

People who serve in the active military should not have to pay income tax. They pay with their lives, and there is no amount of money that this country can collect for such a sacrifice.

I want to see money removed from electing our officials and removed from any influence peddling. It affects everyone.

Give every working person the day off WITH pay. Make it easier to go vote!

The US Supreme Court Ruling in Citizens United has put our government up for sale. We are calling on the President, the Congress and the States to reverse the decision so our democracy is not for sale.

All local, state and national elections should be limited to 6 months maximum from the date a candidate announces his/her candidacy to the date of the actual election. This limited amount of time would emphasize the issues instead of denigrating the opponent's character. Elected officials would have more time to actually govern.

The popularity of the U.S. Congress and the U.S. Senate are at their lowest point in history and with good reason. Congressional gridlock keeps any thing from getting done. I feel as though I am not being represented, that Congress has lost touch with the people of America. This has happened, in part, because of the perks and benefits that Congress has bestowed on itself. Once elected, they live the life of the rich and famous. It is time for them to return their focus on the common person. In the past year some form of this Congressional Reform has turned up in my inbox more than once. The first time it came from a liberal friend, the second time from a conservative relative who was "passing this email along from the desk of Warren Buffet." This reform petition is not partisan. Please sign this petition and forward it to everyone you know. Please sign it once no matter how many times it arrives in your inbox. When the signatures reach a critical mass, I plan to send it to every elected member of the U.S. Congress.

All congress people and senators should retirte on Social security not their private fund and get benefits only after at least 10 years of service and be on the same health plan as every other american,

The major dysfunctionality of government is the good old boy network of politicians who run this country for their own profit. If they had a two term limit then they wouldn't be able to wield the power they currently control. The intent would be for them to do what is in the best interest of the people and not the corporations that currently run our government.

Lobbyists often exert disproportionate influence on elected and appointed state and federal officeholders on many pending legislative issues to the detriment of most citizens and the general welfare of the nation. All citizens, including myself, are affected, when the majority of the people's interests are ignored in favor of small interest groups with special vested interests. The reason is that lawmakers are receiving lavish gifts, vacations, donations to campaign organizations, and other items that can potentially influence their decision making.

No Media should get paid for airing any election campaign adds and all adds should be checked for honesty and propaganda . Lying to cheat people out of their vote should be held as fraud and any one convicted should forfeit his or her office and go to prison.
