• End the Filibuster in Congress
    In a time when every vote tends to have dramatic consequences on the common American citizen we can no longer allow the Republican party to hold change hostage through the use of the automatic filibuster. When a simple majority of 51 is all that is required to pass a law, then a 60 member vote should not be required to take a vote.

  • Campaign Reform = Progress
    There is not a single a single issue more important than this. Without campaign reform there will be no progress meaning affordable healthcare, equal taxation for all. Equal rights for everyone. Both Republican and Democrats are driven by campaign funding, perks, and jobs after retirement. Every other civilized country in the world has it. Not the U.S.A.

  • Tranparancy NOW.
    The people in congress and some who have been in the whitehouse have hidden their past through legal means to prevent us from knowing about their past. Bush military records were hidden, Nixon hid info, Obama hides all of his scholastic records as well as his Ill senate records. We need transparancy.

  • Unite for democratic elections
    A democratic government is a reflection of the collective public will. In the US, one of the main factors keeping us from this ideal is the untoward influence of corporations and other non-citizen entities. We don't have to wait for our government to pass campaign finance reform- we can wield our collective power in this presidential election in 2012. Sign and share to take back our democracy.

  • Equality, realigning the benefits of congress
    It's time that our elected officials stand with the people of this country. This petition is set in motion to realign the outrageous benefits members of congress receive for life. The term used to define an elected officials job title is PUBLIC SERVICE not public support for life. Lets reset the compensation for the honor of serving in government to the gratitude of the people.

  • Congressional Overreach/Protect Due Process
    Congress and the US Government have taken a stance of revoking the constitutional rights of individuals, in favor of detaining people without trial or access to legal rights. Essentially, anyone can be labeled a terror suspect. After being sentenced to 2 years imprisonment for challenging illegal oil company domestic land sales, environmental activist Tim DeChristopher, an unidentified Congressman directed the Bureau of Prisons to place DeChristopher in isolation. In the United States, an unjust, unauthorized investigation of a patriot for exposing illegal land bids for corporate profit!
