The City of Scranton and it's authorities have issued bonds with out regard for the will of the people. City residents have no leverage to oppose or approve either a bond issuance from the city or financially backing a bond issuance from one of the city's authorities yet are required to bear the financial burden as taxpayers. Citizens in other cities around the country are required to hold referendums and receive a majority "Yes" vote before bond issuance. It's time for the citizens of Scranton to have that same voice.

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is rounding up America's wild horses and forcing them into inhumane living conditions. There is evidence that some of our wild horses are being sold to Mexican slaughterhouses. I want our children to be able to view these icons of freedom in the wild on OUR public lands. President Obama can end the roundups with an Executive Order.

H. J. RES. 20 has been introduced for possible congressional consideration. It will enact term limits for congress, but it allows them to be re-elected one year after they've reached their 12 year limit. This is insufficient. Fight to have this resolution modified to enact permanent term limits and pushed through congress!

Allowing persons with student loans to have the same rights as corporations when they go bust. A none person corporation is not greater then future of our students.

Dear Mr. Romney, We The People are very concerned about the integrity of our leadership. We've been lied to, lead astray, and taken to the cleaners by leaders we trusted and thier often secret special interests for generations, and we want to know you're not doing the same. We need to know that who we're voting for personally understands our concerns and upholds the same standards and accountability being demanded of us, at the very least, and in these times of rapid global change, we expect and need someone of pristine character, and the track record to prove it, at the top. We'd feel far better knowing your history reflects the high integrity we expect from the leader of our country as we navigate the changes that need to happen. We've also got some 'character repair' to do in the global arena and our own back yard. We need to know that you can also withstand the scrutiny of the rest of the world and represent us with highest honor and integrity. If we're going to consider you as the ideal candidate for all of that, we need you to prove your worth by offering full financial disclosure to US including tax returns, professional affiliations, charity and other donations, and campaign finance documentation. That includes the specifics about your "Bain years." If you've got nothing to hide, there should be no problem making this information public. If you've got some explaining to do, now's the time. It's time to end the speculation and hearsay. We know you'll do the right thing and share what we're asking for immediately, so we can know you can be trusted with our future well being, rebuilding our integrity in the world arena, and our votes. Sincerely, We The People

If we are to have a true democracy, that is representative of the voice of the people, then we must change how political campaigns are financed. We must eliminate the possibility that our President and legislature can be bought.

The campaign election politics are pathetic on both sides. Millions upon millions of dollars are used to bash opponents while thousands of kids in America go hungry and schools are being shut down.

I am requesting that the government enact a two term limit on the Senate and House of Representatives positions. For too long our policies and government structure have directly opposed the type of people we want and need to enter into these political positions. We are incentivizing the wrong type of people into office by not having term limits. Currently when people run for these political offices they know that once elected, all they need to do is manipulate public opinion to keep their job. Instead of sitting here and blaming each of the non-performing individual sitting in Congress without any results, we need to enact these term limits as doing such will drastically and forever change the type of people we are attracting. We are executing the textbook case of insanity by thinking that we can change the "game" by only swapping out the "players". The current "players" are only in these positions because the current "game" is attractive to them. We need to attract individuals who are willing to sacrifice their lives and current livelihood to come serve the greater good. Without term limits, we will always attract the bottom feeders seeking the easy road. Please sign this petition and pass along to all you know. If this passes, this would be the piece of legislation that has the biggest positive impact on the American Government system since the beginning of our great country.

The absurd amount of money flowing into our Political system is not benefiting anyone but the networks and the Wealthy. I am asking that citizens united need not be overturned but taxed at 30% rate that will pay off our deficit in no time. This will allow the candidates to still raise money and show that they are helping the country while fundraising. They can show how much money they have raised to help the country and be proud of helping their country!

Let's make this a fair election season by getting the candidates to agree to play fair: both will agree to spend the same amount of money on their campaigns.

If it weren’t for the extensive text-message record it would have been the perfect Kansas City shuffle. Democrat Rep. Roy Schmidt plotted with Republican House Speaker Jase Bolger to switch parties a moment before the filing deadline and outsource the competition to a candidate of their choosing: his son’s friend. In effect, robbing Michigan’s 76th District of their voice. Bill Forsyth, the Republican prosecutor, wrote that the ploy “was clearly intended to undermine the election and to perpetrate a ‘fraud’ on the electorate.” Adding insult to injury, he declared, “As a Republican elected official, I am embarrassed and offended by what transpired.” And so is the rest of the Michigan. Not content to stop there, the prosecutor added: “Incredibly, while it would be illegal to pay a boxer to take a ‘dive,’ or a basketball player to ‘point-shave,’ it is not currently a crime in Michigan to recruit someone to run for public office, place them on the ballot at the ‘eleventh hour' and essentially pay them to make no effort to win." Sign our petition calling on Jase Bolger to resign as Speaker of the House. Bolger and Schmidt have managed to avoid criminal charges so far, but we can’t let them get away with this clear betrayal of the public trust.
