The Unstoppable Green Slim for campaigns.The money driving our politics today is unconscionable. When wall street CEO's where asked why they couldn't stop the home mortgage debacle, they said it was too big too stop. Same thing has happened to campaign financing. The politicians can't stop it. It is up to the middle class to stop it. We're calling on our legislature to allow a citizen's vote during the November elections for term limits in congress.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Gary G.

Non-Partisan Election OfficersKatherine Harris in 2000. Ken Blackwell in 2004. Need I say more? Why on earth is it legal for the chief elections officer in any state to be a partisan, or to be affiliated with any campaign? This is an outrage. What an obvious conflict of interest. Ken Blackwell promised he would deliver Ohio for Bush in 2004, and he did. Ask anyone who waited for 10 hours in the rain to vote in Democratic enclaves how he did it.10 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Robert Horowitz

Term limitsI believe it is time that we enacted term limits on Senators and Representatives. The culture in Washington has gotten so strong and so heavily influenced from outside sources that the ordinary citizen no longer has a say and the power structure in our elected offices simply causes our officials to be more concerned with maintaining power and doing the bidding of lobbyists and as such they no longer represent what the people want from their government. We do it to the President and most governors, why not to our Congresspeople.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Al Van Malsen

End Federal Prohibition of Medical MarijuanaEnding federal laws regulating cannabis, marijuana and hemp. Current federal law places these three substances in Schedule 1 of the drug code (No known medical use and/or great chance of abuse). There are many published studies showing the medical uses of marijuana or cannabis, some published by the government itself. Putting people in jail for using a plant that is basically a weed and totally safe is insane!15 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Swami Prem Kavyo

Bring back Glass-SteagallThe Glass-Stegall act was created during the Depression of the 1930's as a way of safeguarding people's bank accounts. It forbade the banks from gambling with depositors' money in risky enterprises. The repeal of Glass-Steagall back in 1999 paved the way for the financial crash of 2008. Repeal Gramm-Leach-Bliley (which took away the Glass-Steagall protection) and bring back sensible regulation!4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Yolanda DeByle

Unearned Money by legislators-State and FederalWe need to stop politicians from getting pensions and health care after only two years of service. The pensions should be part of social security with the same laws as to starting and the health care (that is much better than what is available to the general public) should not be available for a lifetime, but part of some other health care system13 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Marilyn Grimshaw

End the Electoral CollegeThe popular vote result is the democratic way to elect a president. The electoral college is outdated and does not necessarily elect the person with the most votes. To let every voter know their vote counts, end the electoral college.9 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Pat Richmond
