Stop the Military Industrial Machine that is bankrupting AmericaPresident John F. Kennedy was killed because he tried to stop the Military Indusrial Complex of America from robbing Americans blind. President Eisenhower warned of this problem in his ferwell address to the nation, and he was ignored by most everyone except President Kennedy, who was killed for trying to change the culture of war and weapons that were grabbing hold of our nation and now controls it. I ask you all why do we allow this to continue. Why? Is this not a free country, cann we not make a change for the better,117 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Mr. R Nelson

Supreme Court JudgesI think a constitutional amendment should be sought to eliminate lifetime appointments of U. S. Supreme Court Judges. It's clear that these are not purely constitutional judges because everyone can see the leaning either to the Republican party or to the Democratic party depending on the case brought before them. Therefore, no party should be supported a lifetime.40 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mertis Granger

Republican Congressmans signing promise to not raise taxes: legal or notCurrently when Republicans are voted into Congress they sign an oath to not raise taxes. This seems contrary to the process of Congress where in our representatives collaborate with one another to pass legislation for the benefit of our country. How can a Senator or Representative promise to not raise taxes before he/she reviews the proposed bills?6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jean Balibrera

Save the U.S. Post Office From Private Interest!Up until 2006, the United States Post Office has been making a profit year after year for the US government by simply selling postage and stamps. Ever since George W. Bush passed the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act of 2006 (PAEA), which obligates the USPS to prefund 75-years worth of future health care benefit payments to retirees within a ten-year time span — a requirement to which no other government organization is subject. Thus, in addition to the weak economy and the diversion of mail to electronic means, the mandates of PAEA have had a considerable impact on Postal Service finances. As a consequence, it has been charged that the US Postal Service budget crisis of 2011 is, in essence, an artificial one. Sign to tell let the government know you see their phony ways to cause fully functioning AND thriving government services to be bullied into legislated financial extinction by private corporate entities like competitors: FedEx and UPS spent money to back this bill to help edge out some federal competition.8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jeffrey Kanjanapangka

Save Our Postal ServiceThe PMG has moved to consolidate and close many post offices and processing plants across the nation. He has also changed the delivery standards which hurts our bottom line and will cause the loss of many of our customers who will choose alternate delivery companies. You need to ACT NOW to help preserve the postal service. Reject HR 2309 which will destroy the USPS.142 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Cindy Rose

Preference VotingOur political system is dysfunctional. This is due in large part to too many extreme views and not enough in the middle. It is well known among those who study voting systems, that our "first past the post" system is almost the worst possible voting system. Preference voting would get us more candidates with moderate views, perhaps a larger voice to other parties, and would ensure that the candidate most desired by the population would be the candidate elected. (Our current system does not do this!) It might even save money, as it may be possible to do away with primary elections.8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Fred Krogh

Congressional Term LimitsPositions in Congress were never intended to be a lifetime occupation. Elected officials should spend all their time working on the peoples government. Re-election should be based on their performance not donations.19 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Philip G Kinneer

Implement Simpson-Bowles nowGridlock in our nation's capital is strangling our ability to formulate and implement the needed reforms to our economy that will allow us to climb out of this financial and fiscal hole we've dug for ourselves. The complicated nature of our problems allow special interests to obfuscate and resist changes. I offer a simple solution we can all get behind. It is generally agreed that the Simpson-Bowles solution, while containing hard to swallow pieces for both sides, would be a healthy step forward for our country. It is a balanced approach that would at least set us on the path toward reducing our deficit, and provide some much needed tax reform, that, in turn, would encourage businesses to feel more secure and start investing and hiring again. Let's simply implement it. The politicians won't or can't. The question at this point is: do We the People really have any power left? Lets test it. If we get 2 million signatures to this petition, they'll have to take notice. Can we do it? I think we can, if we stand together.8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mark F. McDougal
