Lawmakers in Congress and the Senate need term limits. There is too much corruption in Washington and our representatives should not be trying to figure out how to maintain their power. Their energy should be put into working on legislation that is good for their constituents.

Elected officials should be required to accept the same cuts in income the public are subjected to. If they are required to endure the same austerity we do it might get them to do some work.

US Representatives and Senators should have term limits so that citizens get the best possible representation. They should serve no longer than the President serves. Two 4-year terms. We need to clean house more often.

Money in politics getting the money out of politics limiting campaign contributions

The corrupting influence of money in our political system has resulted in the ineffectiveness of our elected officials to address the many serious problems our nation faces because they are beholden to big donors, be they corporations or other lobbyists. We need to make elections and speech FREE, not bought by the highest contributor.

Demand Eqaulity in our Government. We, the people need to be respresented at all levels of the government, not just the Corporations and the Banks. It is time we let our voices be known.

Are you sick and tired of the self-serving politicians in Washington? It is time for American citizens to stand up for the voters and against entrenched and corrupt politicians. To permanently change Washington, we must change the process that allows career politicians to gain personal power instead of making the hard decisions. We need CITIZEN LEGISLATORS, new leaders continually coming to Congress to ensure every taxpayer dollar is spent wisely, not wasted on Washington special interests. We must end the era of permanent politicians that has led us to a $15 trillion debt and a pending fiscal crisis” 74 percent of Democrats polled favored term limits with 84 percent of Republicans indicating support. It is a Myth that professional legislators are needed to deal with the complexity of government today; proven wrong by the $15 trillion national debt hole that has been created by the very professional politicians who make this argument. The actions of our elected Congress over the past several years have been embarrassing. It is obvious they will not change and continually give excuses for not getting the job done. We can no longer afford career politicians who never make the tough decisions, but defer them to commissions and other non elected bodies.

We the concerned citizens of Pennsylvania demand the immediate impeachment and/or resignation of Tom Corbett. The record of his administration says it all, everything from his involvement in the PennState molestation scandal to taking money from gas companies but far too many other grievances to list in this short petition. By signing this petition you agree Tom Corbett should resign and/or be impeached for the better good of Pennsylvania.

Supreme Court justices currently are not subject to the same canons of ethics to which other federal judges must comply. Justices Scalia and Thomas attended and spoke at a Koch Brothers event with Citizens' United on their docket. The two were speakers and guests of honor at a dinner of the Federalist Society on the same day that they considered reviewing the Health Care Reform Act. We're calling on John G. Roberts, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, to adopt the same canons of ethics to which the other Federal judges must adhere. We further ask that Justices Scalia and Thomas recuse themselves from the review of the Health Care reform act after they have demonstrated through their participation in the Federalist Society dinner a disregard for impartiality in this matter.

I'd like to send a petition to the White House, Senate and House of Representatives to declare that it is time to reform the way they are paid and how they raise capital for campaigning. Not tomorrow, not after a committee is called to order, or a study is done on the idea. The time is now, they can either hear our plea or we will elect and place people in power who are not on the payroll of a corporation or using private wealth for an unfair advantage. I grow tired of the current debate in the halls of government as I can't tell the true politicians from those who are there to make money at the expense of their fellow citizens. We on this petition, as but one voice of its many but important none the less, request that the government of the United States of America make a high priority of changing the way elected officials are paid and how they raise capital for their campaigns. This is our request, will they honor it? Make your voice heard and sign this petition to let the nation know how many of its citizens are tired of a too easily corruptible government being in place. They may ignore us but we won't give up until the system is fixed once and for all. Thanks for your time and courage.

Removal of the electoral college system of presidential selection. People should sign this petition if they want to reduce the size of government, by providing direct election by registered voters, thus eliminating the middle men in the voting process.

It is not illegal for members of congress to to make stock trades based on non-public information they receive when working on legislation.
