  • Require instant feedback for "political debate" questions.
    I am sick and tired of "political debates" that allow politicians to continually waste our time, regurgitating "talking points", rather than answering the questions. Moderators should have an iridescent orange paddle to judge the speakers response as "Off topic", "irrelevant", "content-free" and perhaps a independent panel (?politifact.com) can judge "untrue" also!

  • Lawmakers Must Read and Live By The Laws They Vote On
    How can a citizen be expected to live under the burden of laws that are so lengthy that they cannot be read? How can a legislator represent us properly he or she cannot even bother to read a law of the land and any new bills that are being considered? Many bills now are printed just prior to a vote and have hundreds of pages appended to ram special interest pork items to tag along with an idea that has merit. The opportunity exists for the text to change as it is added to the federal register. Lawmakers who participate in this activity are not properly representing the interest of the citizens. I might go so far to suggest that this activity of voting on unread bills is an act of treason.

  • Ban Lawyers from creating Laws
    Lawyers making Laws only Lawyers can interpret is a "conflict of interest" and violates our Constitution. According to the American Bar Association, Lawyers must recuse themselves from cases with a "conflict of interest". Lawyers as officers of the Judiciary are Constitutionally forbidden from service in the Executive or Legislative branch of government.

  • Abolish the Electoral College
    The Electoral College has outlasted its usefulness. It is part of the constitution, written when communication was by pony express. Voters currently living and voting in a "red" or "blue" state are disenfranchised, because their vote doesn't matter. Eliminating the electoral college means: no "swing" states getting all the attention and all the campaign stops and all the empty campaign promises. The electoral members are selected by the two main political parties, Republican and Democrat, disenfranchising all other voters, independent, Libertarian, etc. End it now.

  • Political honesty
    This whole country is being victimized by the heartless, sociopathic attacks by RepubliCON politicians and their Super pacs. They constantly lie about their opponents and one reason is that they cannot run on their own records. At least 95% of their attacks are groundless and can't be proven. RepubliCON-artists need millions of mis-informed voters; that is the only way they can win. They do their best to keep them mis-informed. We need to petition Congressional members and anyone creating political ads and all political journalists that they MUST tell the truth! It is not that difficult. Why should we have to listen to spins and lies like those spewed by FAUX News and rightwing talkshow hosts? IT IS ABOUT TIME! That is right. Even if you are involved in politics as a journalist, you MUST do everything you can to present facts.

  • Impeach Supreme Court Justice Thomas
    Justice Thomas would be removed from any lower court bench because of the conflict of interest created when he ruled on the Affordable Care Act while his wife received hundreds of thousands of dollars from a group which mounted an active campaign against the health care act. Justice Thomas has violated his oath of office, the cannons of ethics of the Bar Association of Washington DC in that he did not disclose that his wife was working for a conservative think tank and a conservative 501c(4) group which opposed the ACA. In addition, he filed incomplete and false Financial Disclosure Forms to keep litigants who had cases pending before the Supreme Court from having information that could be used to disqualify him from hearing those cases. He did so knowing that his family would benefit financially from his decisions. His spouse has received a reported $1.4 million from clients who also had matters pending before the US Supreme Court.
