  • Stop SOPA From Destroying the Internet
    SOPA is threatening the internet as we know it. Sites that support any form of file sharing such as YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and even joke websites such as FunnyJunk, MemeBase, and 9Gag will all be blacked out if SOPA is passed. SOPA will destroy the internet, not only for Americans, but for the world and for anyone on this planet with a computer. America doesn't own the internet, no one country does, and SOPA is arrogant to think that we can control a global research and networking device. If SOPA is passed, the world will suffer from it. We cant force our laws on the entire planet, let alone something as infinite and beautiful as the internet. Please don't let SOPA ruin the internet for the world. You have the power to stop them.

  • Congress: Remove Supreme Court jurisdiction over election financing.
    The Supreme Court has taken a hard turn in favor of the 1% being able to buy elections. The Congress can override this trend, in favor of real democracy, and return power to the 99% at the ballot box. This power of Congress is already in the Constitution. A constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United is not needed.

  • Stop Television Airing of Negative Super PAC Election Ads
    With the advent of Super PACs after the Citizens United decision we have seen millions upon millions of dollars spent by Super PACs in the first three primary states. These ads are invariably negative in character and are played incessantly during election cycles to the point of mind numbness. The negativeness of these ads is disavowed by candidates since theoretically the Super PACs are out of their direct control and the truthfulness is often suspect. Although required to disclose donors, Super PACs routinely postpone disclosure until well after the elections they participate in. We feel that the monies for these negative ads would be better spent on the poor or on paying down the national debt.

  • Term Limits for Congress
    Senators & congresspeople should not be allowed to serve more than 2 terms in office. They become complacent, lazy, & vulnerable to corruption & corporate handouts. They need to be reminded who put them in office.

  • Public Funding of all Political Campaigns
    For our system of government to be a true democracy, no private money should be permitted in political campaigning. Furthermore, every candidate for political office should should be selected by a special committee within the political party.

  • Parliamentary Procedure for Congress
    By current rules, Congresspersons can pose an amendment which can have little or nothing to do with an essential bill, which will almost certainly be passed. A case in point is the allowance of loaded guns in national parks, sneakily amended to the Credit Card reform bill, which passed.
