Partisan Use Of The FilibusterThe President has submitted many Bills for consideration on improving jobs, the economy, infrastructure, & social reform that the Republican Congress have deliberately blocked, held or filibustered for their partisan interests irrespective of the will of the people. They are comitted to power in lieu of the interests of the country. Their actions have slowed the economic recovery for all Americans and has resulted in usurping the overwelming support the people. If the interests of the people are disregarded they are violating the Constitutional rights of the people. They must submit or be eliminated. Their actions are in fact Treason and must be dealt with in that vane as a crime. Republicans can't win an election fairly so they are engaged in stealing the November election by disenfranchising millions of voters using voter suppression laws as an excuse for protecting voter fraud which simply does not exsist. The justice dept must be engaged quickly to make null and void this criminal behavior before the election and not after!4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mr/Mrs. Carl V. Santamaria

Put a cap on campaignsMy petition is about the excessive amount of money spent on political campaigns. Only a reasonable amount, sufficient to communicate with constituents, would be allowed to be spent. I'm affected because my small donation and others like it cannot compete with the attention and influence large donations buy for wealthy individuals or groups.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Edward Hayes

Military Service Dogs should not be EquipmentChange the designation of military Service Dogs to Canine Soldiers and afford them full benefits. When they retire or are no longer "useful" they should be entitled to transportation back to the U.S. and get full Veterinarian benefits. Handlers should be able to keep the dogs and get financial support in association with keeping the dogs.43 of 100 SignaturesCreated by E. Puehse

Term LimitsLimit U.S. Senate term to one six year term in their lifetime. Limit U.S. Representative term to no more than two terms of two years each consecutive or not in their life time. There are more than enough citizens capable of representing their districts as a Public Servant willing to do their part in helping their Democracy run above board without the influence of lobbyist, bribes, and greed that has driven this Country to the brink of disaster. Term Limits is just a start, but one of the most important actions that can help turn this once great nation around. By limiting the time any one person has in office, in turn limits the time the Corporations have to influence the law makers. It doesnt take years to train an honest legislature...It takes years to learn the tricks and loopholes that have made the rich get richer and the poor staying poor.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Don Flagle

No More GerrymanderingEveryone agrees the legislative branch of our government is dyfunctional. One reason is that Congressional Districts are so carefully drawn (ie. "gerrymandered") by the political parties, only 50 of the 435 seats are really "open election" seats. This stymies the political process and generates idealogues who are not interested in the best interests of the American people.84 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Susan Giesecke

No More Gerrymandering.....Only 50 Congressional seats are truly "electable" in terms of real competition. All others are "gerrymandered" to be either Republician or Democrat. I do not believe our founders intended this. With modern technology, it is time to allow real American competition to re-invigorate our political process.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Susan Giesecke

Adopt the Fair America PlatformThe Republican Party has been hijacked by CORPservatives, tilting the playing field to the benefit of corporations and the 1%. Through voter suppression tactics, outlandish advantages in candidate funding, and with the aid of a complicit media, they intend to win still more power despite declining faith in their motives. To combat this, we need all Democrats - and conscience-prone Republicans - to adopt the Fair America Platform which will embrace a return to the standards of integrity and civil justice that America spent 200 years building.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Todd Telford
