Excesses in government spending could easily start in their own back yards. Paying legislators huge sums for life is not only not a financially sound policy, it is immoral.

America has become increasingly less democratic as corporate interests, Party interests, and other special interests have dominated the political arena and alienated voters. What this country needs is a National Initiative and Referendum process, to increase the power of citizens/voters and bring democracy to America.

I think that the Occupy sites that have tents should post a sign indicating that they are calling the site "Groverville" to advertise the fact that Grover Nordquist is holding the country for ransom by his "Taxpayer Protection Pledge" that most Republicans have signed.

It Is to count the president votes only. Making votes from one state worth more that a vote from another state. It Is time to have one Vote count the same. One vote, one person all votes count. In more than one election the person running for President won the popular vote and lost the election ? This makes NO sense... We are the only place in the world, That can happen. We mush change this law.

The revolving door in politics is the movement of personnel in the public sector to the private sector, or vice versa. This creates a dangerous opportunity for politicians to exploit their public (government) platforms in exchange for lucrative private sector jobs once they leave Congress or a similar position of power. Lobbyists- often former public servants themselves -take advantage of this revolving door every day to court our elected officials. The American public cannot afford to allow this corruption to continue. We are faced with a broken system, one where our elected leaders no longer speak for us, but for the corporations who have bought them. Eliminating the revolving door is the first step to fixing this problem.

Today, the average portfolio of members of Congress far out perform the portfolios of average Americans. The reason for this is because Congress is legally allowed to trade based upon insider information. President Obama asked the members of Congress to send him a bill ending insider trading in Congress, and unless they feel the pressure from "We The People", nothing is going to get done.

Our mission is to give fathers a fighting chance to secure their rightful inclusion into the lives of their children even after divorce and/or separation from the child/children mother.

Ohio should have an amendment to our state constitution (similar to the one Wisconsin is using on Governor Scott Walker) that would allow us to remove an elected official. The principle underlying the recall of public officers has been defined as an effective speedy remedy to remove an official who is not giving satisfaction to the public and whom the electors do not want to remain in office, regardless of whether he is discharging his full duty to the best of his ability and as his conscience dictates.” Read more: http://host.madison.com/ct/news/opinion/column/sen-kathleen-vinehout-wisconsin-s-recall-law-exists-to-assure/article_d292ea6c-1e5f-5042-b2da-fd55c97eeb2a.html#ixzz1kDOdH2So

Changing the way Congress runs

Politician commercials that focus on negativity are excessive as elections get closer and are created to be dramatic and misleading, rather than accurately inform about a candidate. The trend of increasing ads has also created the necessity to have millions of dollars to run for office and discredit an opponent, allowing only wealthy candidates to have a chance of winning.

PLEASE Ask your Congressperson to co-sponsor this great Occupy Amendment sponsored by Rep. Ted Deutch in cooperation with Senator Bernie Sanders! Corporations are not people and they do not belong in our elections! Stop the flood of Campaign Lies on our TV sets paid for by Big Corporate Money and restore our Democracy to the People. By Signing onto this Petition you are telling your Congressperson that they should co-sponsor this Amendment and support its' passage on your behalf! Thank you! We can do this with your help!
