Repeal Citizens United.I do not even have provide reasons why Citizens United is the ultimate of WRONG; it is glaringly obvious why this needs to be repealed. It should never have been approved by the Supreme Court. It just goes to show how corruption has wormed its way through our entire system. REPEAL CITIZENS UNITED7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by M.

Length of Time Elected Officials ServeElected officials need to serve for a six (6) year period with no re-election. This would effect all Federal and State officials and after they have served, they would go back into the private sector with NO retirement and/or health benefits. They would serve for the public good. We need to have sensible people who care more about our country and less about making a carreer in politics.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Rosanne Paris

End Gridlock of Veterans Benefit DecisionsThe Average wait for increase of Benefits is 4 years, sometimes 5. If the illness or injury occurs while in Active Duty the U.S Government has no right to force the Veteran to fight in court for the obvious.This wastes tax payers money and places a burden on the Honorably Discharged Service Member who suffers economically to carry the burden of Co-Payment fees in which She or He needs for survival. The current state of the system is a waiting game to see whether the Servicemember will pass away before recieveing the increase which will be used to shoulder the burden of pharmicudical costs along with Doctors and Dentists. I never would believe in my wildest dreams imagine that I would be begging the Government for my fair due while I laid in the Medical Sickbay suffering from an illiness which almost took my life in 2002.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Marcell Holmes

Citizens United DecisionWe need to get the Citizens United decision overturned. This decision has opend the flood gates of money that can change an election by 'buying it' as what happened in Wisconsin. This decision will completely shut the door on people who WANT to bring change, but cannot compete because of outside money. If this continues... very simply put, the 'wealthiest' will have their representation, and 'working poor' as they are called now, will be left behind. Is that what our Founding Fathers wanted?...Is this OUR democracy?? I don't think so?...and as long as I have oxygen in my lungs, I will not stay silent when I see people 'buying' power in our country!. The right wing agenda has pointed out since this decision that the unions of the country, (what's left of them) can pour money into politics too...However, if anyone has paid attention, union membership in the private sector is almost disapated, the public unions are trying to hang on to what they have. However they cannot compete with the outside private $$$. If this continues, the right will have everything they have wanted, while the rest of us get 'scraps'. This is the most critical issue in our country... GET MONEY OUT!..OR LIMIT IT... to level the field. It should be about a candidates record/performance and qualifications, not how much money he can raise. Something has to be done, otherwise it will forever change the United States as we know it.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Anita Thompson

Public Campaign FinancingA 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.

Stop Wars, Spend Those Dollars At HomeUS 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.18 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Siraj Mufti
