  • End Lobbying in Congress
    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.

  • Health Care Limits
    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!

  • TERM LIMITS.... the time has come.
    It is time for professional politicians to step away from DC., and to begin anew with citizen involvement in government, whereby elected officials other than the president are also limited to two terms. That is it. No careers in DC becoming millionaires, just citizens who want the best for the country battling out laws, doing their job, then going home. No lifelong medical coverage, no pension, just a paycheck, social security deductions, and no unemployment benefits.

  • The American People's Petition
    We are Americans and this is our nation, our home. Power has been taken away from us through money and politics. When we see such anomalies as the Citizens United decision and the equating of 'money as speech' by our highest court, we know it is time to clean house and take back control of our government. We know it is time to take money entirely out of politics.

  • STOP SOCIAL SECURITY FROM ROBBING YOU
    When you receive SS, you are being paid one month late. (i.e. if you receive a check on 05/03/12, that is payment for the month of April.) If YOU DIE in April, EVEN ON THE LAST DAY OF THE MONTH, SS will take back the payment you were to receive in may. THIS IS STEALING!

  • No Confidence in Congress
    We've all seen it everywhere the news, media, and the Internet. It is the systematic attack by Congress on our rights as citizens, as workers, and as humans. I believe it is time to call for a vote of no confidence in Congress. These people have betrayed their oaths of office and it is time to remove them and prune the rot of our government.

  • Free Elections
    We have to get the money out of the election process. Therefore, the US taxpayer should and can make that happen by giving each candidate a certain amount of money and free air time, the airways are ours. Each would be able to present their ideas on the air and the whole process would last only three months instead of two years.

  • Take the Politics out of the Supreme Court
    Require all Supreme Court decisions to have a minimum of a 2 vote majority. NO MORE 5-4 political rulings. Minumum majority would be 6-3. Rulings should be based on the law NOT politics.

  • Congressional Term Limits
    Congressional representatives and Senators should not be allowed serve no more terms than a President. In doing so, this will remove a huge amount of corruption, cronyism and rascalism.

  • No Health Insurance or Pensions for Congress
    Until Congress enacts legislation to guarantee health benefits for every American they should not have coverage. The pensions that they receive should be rescinded. They should be covered by Social Security and contribute to their own 401K plans like everyone else. They are representatives of the people and not a special class with special benefits. You can be sure that if they were subject to the same coverage as the "people," the coverage would be excellent!
