• Public Campaign Financing
    A more pure democracy is possible with 100% public financing of every electoral campaign in the United States of America. Make the dire problem of the Citizens United sell-out and every lobby that does not represent an individual moot. Make them useless. Take away the re-election bank accounts from access by anyone but voters! True representative democracy has never existed, but it is possible if our 28th Amendment reads Public Financing of All Election Campaigns. My money my politician!

  • Robo "Political DO NOT CALL"
    In New York State and several states for that matter, "Do No Call" has been a hot button issue. They've made an exception to this law stating politicians can Robo call your home. They are claiming this is OK because it's "Freedom Of Speech"!

  • Voting Day Becomes a National Holiday
    Our only job on Voting Day will be to vote. Schools, banks, government offices all close, allowing people the opportunity to volunteer their time at the polling places, provide transportation for those in need, and to enable every registered voter the opportunity to vote.

  • Cincinnati City Council
    The City Council has the mindset that they are not employed by the citizens of Cincinnati. They give us promises to get elected and forget about us once they get the job. Our community are crumbling and they support Private investors and their interest. If you want City Council to work for the Citizens that employed them please sign.

  • Stop Wars, Spend Those Dollars At Home
    US administrations and Congress spend billions of unaccounted dollars on Pentagon and its wars, while home front is totally neglected. This trend must be reversed, and more attention given to people at home.

  • Campaign Finance Reform
    It is about giving elections back to citizens. All corporate money should be out of politics. Campaigns should be financed through equal, small amounts added to every personal income tax and money should be distributed to candidates based on the number of citizens in their district.

  • Time Limit for Presidential Campaign
    The campaign time frame for President is too long. I would like to propose no longer than three months to campaign and limit the amount of money being spent on the campaign. This would pertain to both parties. With what has been spent so far on this campaign, we could have fed the whole world.

  • Do the job we hired you to do.
    To ask Congress particularly the Republicans to stop obstructing everything. To compromise. To work for the benefit of The American People. To not pass a budget that ends Social Security and Medicare. To not end food stamps that leave hungry kids to starve.

  • Break the Senate Deadlock with a New Filibuster Rule
    Between 2009 and 2011, Senate Republicans killed hundreds of bills passed by the Pelosi House through abuse of the Filibuster Rule. Recently the bill to keep tuition interest from doubling was killed despite the presence of a majority of Senators in favor. Harry Reid recently admitted that he made a terrible mistake by not changing the rule to avoid abuse when he last had a chance in Jan 2011. This petition proposes a new filibuster rule that would eliminate such abuse by either party in the future.

  • FAIR FEDERAL PAY ACT
    While our governent bleeds money, elected politicians continously vote themselves pay raises, while cutting back room deals to fire or reduce pay for workers who actually provide services. They have no sense of urgency to correct the issues as people loose thier jobs, homes, and savings. It is the responsibility for both partities to work together and solve issues. Those who cannot, are not doing thier jobs and should have thier pay ADJUSTED ACCORDINGLY. Both sides of the aisle continue to live from fat salaries and benefits, while the working class dies on the vine with no help.

  • Make Every Vote Count!
    We hear so much about the importance of voting, but every day I hear that the Presidential Election is actually determined by voters in a hadfull of "swing" Districts. As a person who cares deeply, but usually lives in an area where my views are in the minority, I want my vote to count!
