Please help support a recall of State Rep. Tim Moffitt. Moffitt has continued to attack the success of the greater Asheville community, while not only helping to take the airport from the city, he is trying to strip Asheville of the control of its water system. Not only this, he has helped to redistrict our voting precinct to favor a Republican win. His partisan politics are a clear attempt to silence the majority of voices in this area.Through continued attacks on Asheville's independence and ownership, Moffitt has repeatedly dislplayed a personal agenda, while not representing the interests of those affected.

The Fed is the left hand of Wall Street. It has no oversight, no term limits, and most of all: it's never been audited. Last year they performed their own "Audit", which had as many redactions and retractions as a pentagon report. Let do our own and see their workings in our economy and those abroad.

All federal 'debt' is a direct result of having to buy money from a privately owned bank deliberately misnamed the "Federal bank." A truly federally owned bank is what we had prior to the 'great depression". The privatization of the federal bank on December 23, 1913 was one of the main causes of the depression.

When the filibuster is used to block or delay indefinitely legislative or appointment action by the President or a Senate majority, it violates the Constitution. Vice President Biden presides over the Senate, and so could refuse to enforce its use for that purpose. Much of the political dysfunction in recent years has been enabled by use or threats to use the filibuster, the effect being to block or delay Senate action and Presidential programs and appointments.

It's time to abolish the antiquated and non-representational Electoral College system. Make voting truly One Person, One Vote. The popular vote makes every person's vote count. Relying on the proportioned Electoral College instead of the popular vote brings disrepute to the system and apathy to voters. Make every vote count!

The people want to nullify section 1021 of the NDAA that allows indefinite detention of law abiding citizens. The legislature can prevent any of Oregon's resources from being used toward these ends. The state of Virginia just passed such legislation.

I propose that Congress members and all of their staffs not only give up raises in wages; but also take a 10% pay cut every year that the Government has to borrow money to operate, and 5% pay cut every year the unemployment rate exceeds 5%.

Right now our politicians are elected to office based on their campaign promises. Unless the do something that creates a scandal, they stay in office for their term no matter what their performance is office is accomplishing. Changing the structure of how are political representatives are elected into a hiring process just like the rest of us, where if they don't perform they are fired and someone else is hired to take their place. No more big pensions after office, no more fat benefits after term is over. They would be at will employees where we could hire or fire them for lack of performance. The President and Vice President would still be elected, but there would be a panel to hire Congressman, Representative and any other office based on their past experience and performance.

end special treatment for politicians

U.S. Trademarks and Patents are impossible to obtain without thousands of dollars. President Obama has spoken about the importance of U.S. inventions being made in the U.S. The President and the U.S. Congress members are capable of making the application process easier and prices lowered for average Americans.

Big money is buying our elections and the running of our country. It should be against the law to spend ANY money on running for public office. We, the government should allot a finite amount of equal time, donated by the media, to be spent on explaining stances on issues and could not be used to talk about opponents, for each candidate that had a determined number of potential supporters signing a petiton to run.

Members of Congress will get more lucrative pensions than new federal employees under a little-known provision in the bill that extends payroll tax relief and unemployment insurance. Congressmen will retain a luxurious benefit that lets them retire years earlier than federal workers, without any reduction in their pension. They will be able to retire at age 50 with 20 years of service without the significant penalty most federal employees receive for retiring early. Federal employees’ pension will be reduced by 50 percent for retiring early while the congressman will be able to retire years earlier and start receiving their full pension immediately.
