No Nepotism in Chicago's 49th WardIf you believe that government officials should earn their right to represent you through the standard electoral process, and should not be allowed the opportunity to slide into their positions through family connections (AKA nepotism), you'll want to sign this petition, which will be sent to Mayor Rahm Emanuel.145 of 200 SignaturesCreated by 49th Ward Family Affair

Stop corporate funded electionsI would like to discuss funding for the political campaigning system and how it needs to be revamped to a single pool of donations divided equally among candidates. No more pacs or super pacs supporting a single candidate. No more private and corporate funding for any individual candidate. I would like to see evenly funded campaigns, to create a level playing field for all candidates. No more dunce politicians soaking the political system while tarnishing our global image. Only genuine intelligent people that would be subjected to tests for competence and polygraphed to determine their intentions. Also to eliminate the 2 party system . No more Republicans or Democrats, no more Liberal or Conservative labels, just "American Politician". No more voting based on party decision just voting based on personal views. I'm not saying tea party either. I'm saying stop fighting with our selves and start doing whats right for the country and not whats best for your corporate sponsors or political gain.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ron Stonesifer

Electoral College RepealThere is no need for the Electoral College anymore. With the age of electronics, this an outdated program and should be put aside. As we review the Electoral College, it was unintended for the old western states, because of the distant to for the settlers to vote and to have their votes counted. Let's be a true democracy, "One man, One vote." Let's repeal this action, cause now the Electoral College, an be use for misuse.85 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Vince Moore

Stop Congress from insider trading!Members of congress are able to make large profits in the stock market. The average american would get prison time, the members of congress get rich. Not to mention the possible security issues that may come up, because a congress person is thinking about their interest, not the interests of the U.S.A.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by jared

Term Limits for CongressThere is far too much incentive for Congresspeople to provide special treatment to special interests at the expense of ordinary Citizens, and this problem has become so great that it is more important than having people "experienced" within the political system. A two-term limit will significantly reduce this incentive, resulting in a Congress that is much more focused on constructive problem-solving for the largest number of Citizens.11 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Scott Brown

Florida right of recallCurrently we the citizens of Florida have no legal method to get rid of the government that is bankrupting us. Our present governor has a voter satisfaction rating that is lower than any other governor and a legislature that supports or even expands on his disastrous policies.23,110 of 25,000 SignaturesCreated by Roger N.

New amendment to the constitutionThe 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds) took only 3 months & 8 days to be ratified! Why? Simple! The people demanded it. That was in 1971 - before computers, e-mail, cell phones, etc. Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took one (1) year or less to become the law of the land - all because of public pressure. Warren Buffet is asking each addressee to forward this email to a minimum of twenty people on their address list; in turn ask each of those to do likewise. In three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message. This is one idea that really should be passed around. Congressional Reform Act of 2011 1. No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they're out of office. 2. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security. All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose. 3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do. 4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%. 5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people. 6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people. 7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void effective 1/1/12. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women. Congress made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work. If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people then it will only take three days for most people (in the U.S.) to receive the message. Don't you think it's time? THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS! If you agree, pass it on. If not, delete. You are one of my 20+ - Please keep it going, and thanks Congressional reforms, term limits, retstrictions on their pensions and privilieges that they have voted for themselfs106 of 200 SignaturesCreated by mary Rando-Eberhardt
