• Veterans Against the Student Loan Forgiveness Act of 2012
    This petition is an urgent message to our leadership . . . Stop and think! Veterans and Soldier have fought for the right to go to college using the GI Bill and have bled for this country. It would be poor judgement on behalf of our government to glorify one and disgrace the other, meaning if all college debt gets erased then our veterans, all of them, should receive 100% of their GI Bill back.

  • Presidential and Congressional performance based pay
    Because of Supreme Court rulings it is impossible to control the amount of money spent in campaigns. The only way to get the majority of federal politicians to care about the average man is to tie the income and investments of the Presdient, Congress, and high ranking federal officals to the average household income and networth.

  • Constitutional Convention
    This petition would initiate the procedure for a federal constitutional convention. It is clear that Washington is broken; lawmakers are corrupt or dysfunctional, and that the good of the country is not what is deemed important by many of our elected or appointed officials.

  • Terms for Supreme Court Justices
    Once appointed, and in the absence of wrongdoing, Supreme Court Justices can serve for the rest of their lives. Their terms can run 30, 40 or even 50 years. The demographics and the culture of the United States changes so rapidly, and the Justices' ideas are often out of synch with the country's culture. There should be a limit on the number of years a Supreme Court Justice can serve

  • Electoral College
    In recent presidential elections we have seen instances where a candidate who failed to win a majority of the popular vote was elected President because he won the majority of the votes of the electoral college. Based on population, some states or some combination of states mgiht have more electoral college votes than others, and in these instances these states can influence the outcome of the election despite the will of the popular majority.

  • Child Support payments from parents receiving SSI Benefits
    My petition is get better laws against deadbeat parents who receive SSI benefits from the government. My son's father owes more that $30,000.00 in back child support, but the state that I live in will not persue him or enforce him to pay because he receives SSI benefits. Why is the government allowing this? Why should parents getting benefits not have to take care of their responsibilities?

  • Close our Primaries to enable a fair process
    One party should not be able to vote in the other party's primary. The primary is for the purpose of choosing your party's candidate. It is not so you can choose a weak candidate for your party to run against. If you aren't a member of that party you shouldn't have a vote.

  • Equal Political Gender Representation
    Women are under represented in government. For their needs to be addressed, and for their childrens needs to be addressed, this fundamental inequality must be corrected. Until this deeply damaging divide is corrected, our country will never move forward or maintain a semblance of liberty or achieve measurable beneifts of social justice.
