Most, if not all, Republicans HAVE PLEDGED ALLEGIANCE to GROVER NORQUIST (and his insistence on their ALWAYS voting against ANY new taxes). Such a pledge MAY under some circumstances supersede the allegiance to THE flag of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. An occasion may happen, for example, in time of war or another SPECIAL NATIONAL NEED that new taxes are not only important, but even necessary. The Republicans' NORQUIST pledge may interfere with national security.

Only 2 terms per House and Senate. They tend to business of their employers (We the People) Not start re election campaign the minute they get to DC.

Even after we get money and corporations out of politics, we will still be stuck with choosing between the "lesser of two evils" unless we adopt an extraordinarily simple change to go from our current "Plurality Voting" method to one called "Approval Voting". The Problem For example as a Progressive in 2000 you might prefer Ralph Nader over Al Gore. But you know that voting for Nader could cause Gore to lose so you must vote for Gore (whether you see him as the "lesser of two evils" or simply less desirable) to stop Bush winning or vote your true preference and risk Bush getting elected. The Solution Approval Voting allows you to vote Yes or No for every candidate on the ticket. So vote Yes for BOTH Nader AND Gore, while voting No for Bush. You do not have to compromise your values and you do not in any way aid Bush in winning. The Purpose of this Petition The purpose of this petition is to get as many organizations as possible to educate their members about Approval Voting and to demand it. Ultimately we want support from organizations across the spectrum; non-partisan, civic, professional, issue-oriented, Green Party, Libertarians, non-profits, NGOs, corporations and ultimately even the Democratic and Republican parties. Let's start with MoveOn.org spearheading the effort because many members here are opposed to preemptive war, murder by Drone, bailouts for financial criminals etc., regardless of which political Party is abetting the crime.

For over 235+ years all of the early organized political parties have consistently manipulated our laws at one time or another in our history for the express reason of eroding the "Natural" rights and freedoms of the American People. From the very first draft of our Constitution and Bill of Rights there was many revisions which focused on ones personal agenda based of their personal belief system which was and is strictly prohibited in that very Constitution. Along the way our Justice System allowed many of these rights and freedoms to be consumed by endless delays and conjecture that in the end no due process was allowed. This is now the 21 Century and our laws need to be revised for this cultures mindset and not that of the 17 hundreds for the simple fact that they don't apply anymore. It is time for the American people to hold all our elected officials accountable both past and present for their actions and to bring to justice all of these changes manipulated by those who voted for these bad laws.

Constitution Amendment to overturn Supreme Court's decision in Citizens United

This year, we need to send a message that we are tired of the gridlock and total blockage of ideas from our representatives in Washington, and at the state level. Please do not vote for your current local, and federal representative's...name recognizition will not do this time...Send them all home and replace with new, serious people who will do the work....

Stop foreigners from buying our elections. Only allow U.S. Citizens to contribute to political campaigns. Protect American values.

Politicians are so beholden to their parties, their super PAC, their special interest groups and getting elected that our voices get lost. I think we should ask everyone of them to pledge an oath to the citizens. One that reminds them what they are really there for. They should be asked to renounce pledges to Grover Norquist or any other person or group that is put before us the people.

Currently Congress spends less time working that we who have full time jobs do. As of October 1, 2010, 443 retired Members of Congress were receiving federal pensions based fully or in part on their congressional service. Of this number, 262 had retired under CSRS and were receiving an average annual pension of $69,420. A total of 181 Members had retired with service under FERS and were receiving an average annual pension of $38,460 in 2010. This is higher than the national average. Since so many other state and local employees have has their pensions decreased due to high burden on the tax payers, I believe Congress should receive the same treatment.

random constitutional conventions. the fathers didn't get everything right and they knew conditions would not be in 2012 what they were in 1776.

So much political advertising is misleading or outright false. Congress needs to clean up the lies and give us only the truth. The Supreme Court seems to think lying is protected speech, but political advertising must be truthful.
