Its a prime example of big business in government here in texas. it is another tool used by big business to force people to buy insurance or else. they say obama's healthcare plan would require a person to buy health insurance, this system will ensure you do the same with auto insurance which is way more expensive for most. I think its unconstitutional and the insurace companies here in texas are padding the pockets of the officials for implementation of the program, here is what is quoted on the site" TexasSure Vehicle Insurance Verification Can't Afford Auto Insurance? We can all think of other things we’d rather do with our hard-earned money than pay insurance premiums. But if you’re going to drive, you owe it to yourself and everyone else on the road to be insured. If you’re in an accident (and statistics point to a one in three chance you will be), having that insurance card will make your life a whole lot easier. By the way, did we mention that the law requires you to carry insurance? It’s true, but you only have to carry liability insurance, which pays to repair or replace the other driver’s car and/or pay for their medical expenses in the event of an accident. (Liability insurance does not pay to repair or replace your car or pay for your injuries.) The minimum liability insurance required in Texas covers $30,000 for each injured person (up to a total of $60,000 per accident) and $25,000 for property damage. So, how do you get insurance? The following links will take you to documents that can help you on that quest: " this is crazy, if we are required to by auto insurance why not healthcare?

This petition is from American citizens who are fed up with the out-of-control spikes in gas prices every year by excessive oil speculation and market manipulation that is causing financial hardships for families and threatens the stability of the U.S. economy. President Obama, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and Congress must act to enforce title VII of the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act that was signed into law by President Obama on July 21, 2010. With this petition we are calling on President Barack Obama, the chairman of the CFTC and Congress to join Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) along with 70 members of Congress who wrote a letter to regulators at the CFTC, urging immediate action on oil speculation and stand up for the American people and enforce the law with the financial regulations that were past in 2010 in order to put an end to excessive oil speculation and market manipulation.

Republican Chris Smith has been in Congress (NJ 4th District) for 32 years and we have had 32 years of increased spending, continuing deficits, and ballooning national debt. You can't change Congress without changing the Congressman. He is one of the impediments to getting anything done in Congress. (See www.froelich4congress.com )

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.

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.

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.

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.

Congress to propose and send to the states for ratification a federal Constitutional amendment eliminating the arcane Electoral College and providing for the popular election of President of the United States.

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.

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!
