I would like to see Senate and congress with term limit with they can only be in office for two terms just like the President and no one is grandfathered in. Also they need to pay into retirement and health insurance just like the every day average working person.

Candidates should be given the same amount of money, set a budget and stay within it. This would be a way to demonstrate they could understand balancing the state and federal budgets

Congressional Office Term Limitation

It is becoming clear that there is no downside to lying in political ads but this must change. There are no penalities for half truths, lies, or distortions in political campaign ads that would never be permitted in commercial ads. Campaign ads are certainly more important to the public in making informed decisions based on FACTS.

We are asking the Blackfeet Tribal Business Council to commit to creating and maintaining a zero tolerance and violence-free workplace policy where threats, threatening behavior, intimidation, harassment including sexual, verbal and physical assaults, or any act of violence will not be tolerated. We are also asking that this policy state that threats or threatening behaviors will be investigated immediately and will be grounds for charges according to Blackfeet Tribal Law if found to be in violation of this policy. These types of incidents have been known to occur within and throughout the Blackfeet Tribal Organization and have been numerous enough to not only merit review, but numerous enough to implement such a policy. It is the belief of the petitioners that implementing a zero tolerance and violence-free policy and posting statements of this policy and the consequences of violating this policy in all buildings owned or operated by the Blackfeet Nation will help manage and reduce workplace violence incidents. Employers everywhere have a legal and ethical responsibility to promote a work environment free from threats and violence and the Blackfeet Tribe as the main employer on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation should have the same legal and ethical obligation to do the same. Workplace violence according to this policy will refer to actions including threats, threatening behaviors, intimidation, harassment including sexual, verbal and physical assaults or any other act of violence that originates from the General Public, Blackfeet Tribal Employee's and the Blackfeet Tribal Administration including all Blackfeet Tribal Business Council Members and all will be subject to the guidelines of such a policy. This petition is asking that the Blackfeet Tribe also provide professional training from an outside entity to educate all Blackfeet Tribal Business Council Members, all Blackfeet Tribal Program Directors, and all Blackfeet Tribal Staff Members should they chose to implement this policy. This petition is also asking that the General Public be made aware of this policy should it be implemented as well. The petitioners believe that implementing such a policy will effectively make a positive change as well as working on creating a professional work environment throughout the Blackfeet Tribal Organization.

As with many people, I am disgusted with the way Congress has performed over the past several years. They seem to be out of touch with those who they represent and with the idea they are in Washington to stonewall legislation which would help the economy and the American people. Maybe taking away the privileges they have legislated and giving them the same benefits most people have, would give them a different perspective on healthcare, social security and medicare. Granted this has been passed around the internet, but nobody seems to know how to get the ball rolling to make this happen. Hopefully a petition through your organization might be the means.

The worst entitlement program in this country is the politicians retirement and health policy currently in affect.

Income Tax Refunds is a fundamental right and citizens who are entitled to refunds continue to be denied of this right to a refund and on time. The law provides for a 10% set-a-side from all income taxes collected annually. The Government has failed to adhere to the law and as such continue to violate the rights of those owed refunds. Citizens are being affected and this clearly affects the U.S. Virgin Islands economic cycle.

I am calling on the Presidential Candidates to stop their negative campaign advertisements and agree to only put out what they can do for us as a society. These negative adds are very stressful and usually not even truth. My 11 year old son is also very affected by these as he is an extremely sensitive child. In this already stressful time, we don't need more stress and hate. The PACs should also be notified by the candidates and agree to NOT put out these horrible ads.

LOBBYING IS ANTI DEMOCRACY....END CORPORATE & SPECIAL INTEREST LOBBYING NOW!

It has come to my attention that in recent years hi profile citizens have been allowed to live in multiple states and declare dual residencies for the sole purpose of running for public office just so they could run for a higher office. Mitt Romney is from Utah, yet he claimed to be a resident of Massachusetts while also living in New Hampshire just so he could run for Governor of Massachusetts and then eventually have a shot at running for the Presidency. That any and all citizens be limited to one state when running for any high public service office. If you weren't born there, you can't hold a public service office. Its a conflict of interest

Freedom of expression does not extend to lies to manipulate an ignorant populace. false or misleading political advertisement should be punishable by law. Being carpet-bombed with falsehoods for political gain harms the American psyche. That practice falls under the "harm" or "offense" exceptions to the first amendment (freedom of thought and expression). When we talk about rights (i.e. freedom of expression), we can't forget the other side of the coin: responsibility, since "freedom without responsibility degenerates into licentiousness".
