Whereas, the Founding Fathers created a Federal Government which was not allowed to levy an Income Tax on its Citizens, the 16th Amendment changed this in 1913 and now allows the Federal Government to take away the wealth of the Citizens of the States and place undue burdens on the States for the return of their Citizen's money. Whereas, the Federal Debt per person was $12 in 1910 before the Income Tax amendment and was $28,229 per person in 2006 and growing, the need for limits on Federal spending is obvious.

Whereas, the Founding Fathers created a Congress with a House of Representatives to represent the people and a Senate to represent the States, the States now have no representation in the Federal Government and the they are being forced to bear burdens for which they have no representation, it is therefore necessary to restore the Senators as representatives of the States. Whereas, the 17th Amendment was added to the constitution in 1913, in 1917, which is the four years necessary for a majority of the Senators to no longer be representatives of the States, they voted for President Wilson to turn a European war into World War I by allowing him to declare war on Germany. This and the other Wars encouraged by the Senate is more than enough justification to show the need for repealing the 17th Amendment.

The Democrats in WI must agree on ONEcandidate to oppose Walker in the recall election to avoid the Primary Battle where fake Democrats will receive votes of Repiublicans. This will assure that by uniting, the recall will succeed.

Elected officials, and specifically members of congress, must be held to higher standards of conduct than those of elementary school children.

While we in the US lag behind, most modern democracies have embraced the idea of Proportional Representation (PPR) as a way to increase the people's voice in government. Under this system, votes are cast nationwide for political parties which in turn send representatives to the legislature. This allows more than two parties to hold seats in government, more accurately represents the will of the people, and prevents the kind of political blackmail we face here in the US, where if you don't vote for one the two parties, you tacitly vote for the one in the lead. Isn't it time that America holds multiparty elections and becomes at least as democratic as Germany or France? Help us make this great country even more free.

Call to action. Take Election day (Nov. 6th) off from work. We need to make a big deal about OUR elections!

We must repeal how long a Congressman or woman should be elected to help this country survive. They should serve only two terms of four years each.

Michigan's Republican legislature has used the "immediate action" clause to pass over 550 laws since January. This clause was intended for a natural disaster or like event. Currently, Michigan Republicans are using this clause to pass bills contrary to the formal legislative process. Please sign this petition to tell Michigan Republican legislators to start following the proper legal process. Some sources indicate that every law passed could be legally challenged for validity. Governor Snider and his Republican zealots are out of control and need to know that the state belongs to all its residents not just big business.

American politicians, special interests and lobbyists continue to combat term limits, as they know term limits force out career politicians who are more concerned with their own gain than the interests of the American people.

Only campaign advertisements that have been fact checked and found to be truthful should be allowed on the airwaves. Any advertisment that has been run on the airwaves and found to be un-truthful should be removed immediately, a retraction should be aired to the same areas effected stating that the advetisement was false and individual or organization responsible should be heavily fined and banned from any future advertising on the airways. The American people deserve the truth about the politicians and policies that they are voting on.

Reforming the way Congress treats itself.
