• Calling For a Return to Critical Thinking in Congress
    An examination of the House and Senate voting record for the past-too-many years would be revealing. The individuals we HIRE to represent us seem to have checked their "thought process" at the door. Both sides react like two year olds saying "NO" loudly just because the other side poses an idea. United We Stand has become a bumper-sticker.. A joke.

  • Two Party Politics is KILLING AMERICA!
    I'm tired of the Republican party voting against things that are good for America, just because it was proposed by a Democrat. I'm also tired of Democrats fighting tooth and nail againt everything the Republicans propose. I believe that EVERY person who wants to hold office, and "work" for U.S., should run (essentially) as an independent - with NO "PARTY" affiliation that they must keep happy. It's old, and it's killing us as leaders!

  • Election Corruption Act
    We the people of the United States must act to limit the powers of Corporations. Our government has become corrupted by a system of political financing that puts our politicians at the mercy of the banks and corporations that finance their campaigns. THIS MUST STOP!! Laws and tax codes cannot be fair. They are written for politicians by corporations seeking to profit from tax exemptions, and imprison larger portions of our population for longer periods of time in order to have them work for pennies a day in the penal system [as in the case of UNICORP]. The only way to stop it is to provide fair and equal financing for all federal elections. This is a big change to the status quo for our politicians who are dependent on their ties to big business to maintain their political coffers full. It means no more political coffers, and no more 100 million dollar campaigns. It means clean and fair elections for all politicians and political parties.It also means an end to corporate control of our congress.

  • Representatives Benefits vs the 99%
    Our Political Representatives want to cut BOTH the Health Insurance and our Social Security of all Americans. However, they seem to be unwilling to reduce their own benefits by an EQUAL percentage of Cost. Do you believe they should help the Deficit by offering to reduce their own benefits to show they believe it is the right thing to do for the budget?

  • Job description of the supreme court
    The supreme court has turned into an extension of the right wing Since when is it their job to "appoint' a president? How dare they say that a corporation is a person? How dare they provide a legal way for corporations to spend unlimited in order to BUY votes for the candidate that will make sure they get their way? Since when shall the supreme court decide what kind of health care we the people will have? how is this a democracy? the constitution provides just for the wishes of the powerful and wealthy? according to the supreme court! Let's fire the supreme court for deciding our democracy away!!

  • Congressional Reform Act of 2012
    1. Term Limits. A.One Six-year Senate term B. 3 Two-year House terms 2. No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office. 3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do. 4. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people. 5. All contracts with past and present Congressmen are void effective 1/1/12. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term, then go home and back to work.
