Women are under represented in government. For their needs to be addressed, and for their childrens needs to be addressed, this fundamental inequality must be corrected. Until this deeply damaging divide is corrected, our country will never move forward or maintain a semblance of liberty or achieve measurable beneifts of social justice.

Gaining the public support to legislate into law strict guidelines and accountability for elected Officials

The United States of America should follow France's policy against using media to advertise to win political offices. Our politicians could better use that money helping charities, bringing down the debt or at least hiring people to spread the news of what their personal ideas would be to better our predicament rather than a platform for mud-slinging, etc.

About getting the money out of the political process.

All elected officials are subject toterm limits (time spent in office not doing the people's work for the people) - it is way beyond time to bring the very same term limits to the Supreme Court and the political hacks that call themselves Supreme Court Justices today - people paid with government taxes to do our work for us, not to undo what the people have voted into law -

Federal Government Employees should NOT be recipients of taxpayer funded pensions and free healthcare for life. Government employees should recieve Social Security and Medicare ONLY upon retiring.

Millions of dollars are being funneled into political campaigns without any accountability as to the amounts, the special interests of the group(s), or the individuals who have formed the groups. Americans must take back their political campaigns instead of having those campaigns auctioned off to the highest bidder. We demand absolute transparency in ANY monies funneled into a political campaign, the name of the contributor, and any special interest that individual serves or has served in the past five years.

No more lifetime careers for Congress. Therefore, representatives may be elected five terms, senators two terms. The president is limited to two terms; a total of eight years, representatives with term limits will serve ten years, and senators will serve twelve years allowing for a continuos overlap of government.

This DNR has declared that even safely retained pigs of small farmers are feral. They are to be killed. The owners are charged as felons. No heritage breeds are allowed, although preferred by many gourmet chefs as having better health and flavor over production pork. The result is that herds are being killed, citizens are being labeled as criminals by that most invasive species—the DNR. The Michigan Pork Producer Association pigs are magically alright. If left in the woods (as the killed pigs are NOT) the inbred pigs would be just as damaging as the alleged "feral" pigs had they actually been allowed to run wild. Tell the governor and the DNR to stop this unconstitutional attack immediately and pay restitution to those already attacked. This is a horrible and illegal "legal precedent" which may be used at you and your friends if this idiocy is not stopped. Other foreign species in Michigan which may invade? Dandelion, Ailanthus trees, cows, sheep, horses, goats, housecats, starlings, honeybees, Norway rats, whitetail deer where the woodland caribou used to live until over-logged by invasive white European settlers, and the list goes on. Why are these pigs targeted? Why did the Michigan Pork Producers Association encourage the Michigan state government to refuse any time to argue these assaults on American liberty?

Politicians should pay taxes and health insurance like all other Americans. They should not be eligible for pensions after they leave office unless they have been in office at least 20 years like our military personnel and other government officials. Why should the American people continue to pay into Social Security for a check that may not even be there when our own gov't officials do not?

This petition is about the Republican Party Presidential nominee. Why does he need an extension, why can't he file his return on time? Why can't he release previous years? If you are running for the highest office in the country, it stands to reason you should be on top of things and especially have open, transparency about your finances. Release your prior year’s tax forms Romney so the country can really see the real financial picture of your net worth.
