  • 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 The pensions that they receive should be rescinded.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!

  • Save our US Postal Service
    The US Post Office is under attack, that is losing billions of dollars and we have cut back. Wrong, The USPS delivers 563 million pieces of mail per year to every community. It unites the country and facilitates democracy. 2006 Congress mandated that USPS pay 75 years of retirement benefits. Have Congress restore this and other revenues.

  • Term Limits for Congress
    The members of Congress have abused their positions and exceeded the original intentions of our founders. They do not participate in programs they vote on, and instead have their own superior programs.

  • true democracy
    Requirement that everyone registers to vote and either votes or performs community service. Also, one month before an election the media is open to candidates to give detailed accounts of their positions. All media is provided at little or no cost. Money, as a result, will be taken out of the election. Twenty second sound bites will be replaced by in-depth knowledge of candidates beliefs and positions.

  • Term-limits:Best antitode to Political Corruption
    Even before the Citizen United decision, special interests thoroughly corrupted our democracy to plutocratic rule. Mindful that some decent elected officials may also be swept away from government, the cleansing results would be beneficial to all citizens.

  • Separation of Corporation and State
    Our founding fathers knew that a democracy could not uphold its ideals if an organized institution, such as the church, held undue influence over a government whose premise was to govern "by the people, for the people". Today, the corporation has become the institution with undue influence over our government's ability to operate in a democratic fashion. We are calling on the U.S. Senate to adopt a Constitutional Amendment to return our government to it's democratic values and to restore integrity to our system.

  • Members of Congress: Start Working on Things You Can Agree On!
    The House of Representatives initiates bills to make a statement that the Senate will not pass, wasting everyone's time and money. Why not concentrate only on issues in which there is likely agreement and likely passage. These "partisan statements" are a waste of time and taxpayer money, are useless, and a dereliction of responsibility.

  • Members of Congress should take no oaths of allegiance that conflict with their oath of office.
    Large numbers of members of Congress, mostly Republicans but not exclusively so, take an oath to Grover Norquist and his Americans for Tax Reform that conflicts with a major part of the array of tools that are necessary to be considered in the governance of our country. While it is perfectly proper to be against increasing taxes, it is another thing to completely eliminate that alternative by a sworn oath to a private organization when representing the American people in attempting to solve our country's problems.
