• A Plea To Merge Parties
    The endless bickering between the Democratic and Republic parties is counter-productive. Personalities aside, the parties have cooperated for decades on invasions, cutting taxes for the wealthiest, supporting Big Business, foiling a rational healthcare system, etc. Let's merge--for the sake of efficiency and national healing.

  • Stop Money Politics
    Money controls everything in the world and now in politics, and it breaks large portions of our system...causing abuses of our laws. Even today, two "money men" decided who would be the two front runners in the GOP primarys...so whoever would vote, only had the choice the two Money men put in place, basically negating the "choices" of the voters, and further causing my vote not to count.

  • LIMIT Congressional Seats to 2 terms
    Everyone has a problem with congress. unless you're in congress. Corruption runs rampant and no one does anything about it. So let's limit their power. I say no more lifelong senators or house representatives.

  • Stop the Lies!
    How can a democracy survive when it is perfectly legal to lie and slander a public figure? Please sign my petition to reverse the 1964 Supreme Court decision that if you are a public official, you are not protected by the defamation laws. In 1967, they were expanded to include all public figures. Now people believe that if it is said on TV or the radio, it has to be true. Which is simply not true. They can and do lie.

  • End Lobbying in Congress
    My petition is simply about ending the 'lobbying system' (which is a euphamism for legal bribery.) People should sign it because congress will never do this on their own. These legal bribes are essentially what gets them re-elected. Only the voices of the people can end it.

  • Health Care Limits
    The Congress makes decisions every day that impact citizens in this great country of ours except for themselves. This petition is simple. Congress would be limited and unable to have any health care provided by tax dollars in excess of any citizen of the USA. A child goes without, so should they!

  • TERM LIMITS.... the time has come.
    It is time for professional politicians to step away from DC., and to begin anew with citizen involvement in government, whereby elected officials other than the president are also limited to two terms. That is it. No careers in DC becoming millionaires, just citizens who want the best for the country battling out laws, doing their job, then going home. No lifelong medical coverage, no pension, just a paycheck, social security deductions, and no unemployment benefits.

  • The American People's Petition
    We are Americans and this is our nation, our home. Power has been taken away from us through money and politics. When we see such anomalies as the Citizens United decision and the equating of 'money as speech' by our highest court, we know it is time to clean house and take back control of our government. We know it is time to take money entirely out of politics.

  • STOP SOCIAL SECURITY FROM ROBBING YOU
    When you receive SS, you are being paid one month late. (i.e. if you receive a check on 05/03/12, that is payment for the month of April.) If YOU DIE in April, EVEN ON THE LAST DAY OF THE MONTH, SS will take back the payment you were to receive in may. THIS IS STEALING!

  • No Confidence in Congress
    We've all seen it everywhere the news, media, and the Internet. It is the systematic attack by Congress on our rights as citizens, as workers, and as humans. I believe it is time to call for a vote of no confidence in Congress. These people have betrayed their oaths of office and it is time to remove them and prune the rot of our government.

  • Free Elections
    We have to get the money out of the election process. Therefore, the US taxpayer should and can make that happen by giving each candidate a certain amount of money and free air time, the airways are ours. Each would be able to present their ideas on the air and the whole process would last only three months instead of two years.
