Recently, the governor of the state of Florida signed into law, a program to address the drug problem in Florida, by requiring Floridians, on public assistance, to submit to mandatory drug testing, to remain eligible for benefits. This Constitutional amendment would require all state of Florida public officials, who hold, or are seeking/or to be appointed to a state or public office or cabinet position, to submit to the same mandatory random drug testing program in order to remain eligible for access to state benefits as well, includiing their employment.

Our politicians are currently sold to the highest bidder and lobbiest are the ones who create the laws to benefit their paymasters, it is legal bribery and extortion. We, as a country need to overturn the Citizens United ruling and make all elections publicly funded with equal dollars given to each candidate who wishes to run in a specific catagory. It is not a real democracy when the wealthy corporations and individuals are the ones who decide who will be able to run and who will win by use of unlimited campaign dollars.

It is time for the federal Reserve to have the sunshine on its operations.The house passed a bill o audit. It was killed by Harry Reid in the Senate. That is not right.

Make it a federal crime, felony, to receive compensation to lobby a federal employee. This would incluce members of congress and their staff

The Electoral College is NO LONGER NEEDED!

The failure of the State's Attorney to prosecute the Chicago Police Officers for the murders, brutality and harassment of African American citizens.

The US Congress has abused and misused the super majority vote by using filibustering and obstructing important bills. This "super majority" is being abused and needs to be abolished. A real majority vote must be restored to Congress to move our country forward.

In November, 2009, my mother was killed as she crossed the street. The man who killed her was 82 years old and he was not arrested and his license was not revoked. This tragedy might have been avoided if this man had been tested to see if he was still able to drive and had full hearing, sight and the ability to turn his head to see, but since no law existed that would require this, no such test was performed.

Limit the amount and frequency of money donations from other than registered voters.

The whole nation has been affected by the pig-headed determination of Republican Representatives & Senators to block President Obama's effort to pull the country out of the mess created by President Bush & his colleagues.

Current campaign finance law is the injection point Wall St uses to poison OUR democracy. In 2000 85% of the US electorate favored major campaign $ reform. Today that could be 95%. It's one crucial issue that could coalesce over 200 million Americans. If 120 million were to sign-on AND donate an average of $50, we'd have $6 billion to defeat the 10 worstof our reps. Campaign law like that in this petition would mean each of us would be equal to the Koch bros. More importantly, it would mean each of us would be equal to Exxon/Mobil etc, for if we could limit ourselves, we would thereby limit our "corporate selves". Certainly corporate personhood should be revisited, but this would eliminate 99% of the advantage it gives. Poll after poll show that what we have now is not the will of the people; It's Wall St. Most Americans are kind and still believe in freedom, democracy, justice and the possibility of a good life for all. This would be reflected in the policies WE choose after gaining control of our government through this simple demand.

The nation has been impacted by partial judges ruling in favor of their party platforms: i.e., abortion, voting laws, Citizens United.
