  • 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.

  • Limit the Filibuster
    What was once a useful tool to prevent the majority from riding roughshod over the minority, in the Senate, has become a tool for preventing any work from being done and keeps the majority from meeting the needs of its constituents. It's time for the filibuster to change. If each party were limited to three filibusters, in each session of Congress, they would be used very cautiously and only for the most critical of reasons.

  • Time to Humble Congress
    Congress gets 100% of their salary for retirement after only one term in office. Their children get student loan forgiveness. It's unconstitutional for for them to give themselves what other government employess don't get. This petetion is to bring them down to the level of everyone else in society.

  • REFORM THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE
    Every fourth November, after almost two years of campaign hype and money, over 90 million Americans vote for the presidential candidates. Then, in the middle of December, the president and vice president of the United States are really elected by the votes of only 538 citizens -- the "electors" of the Electoral College. The electors are made up of 12 States out of 50. Do you want your state represented?

  • Term Limits for Supreme Court Justices
    The length of time a supreme court justice can serve. It should not be a lifetime appointment. These people are not always as neutral about all subjects as they try to appear to be. A 12 year limit should be set. Lifetime apointments can become a very abusive when these people know they cannot loose their jobs due to inapproiate decisions bases on politics and personal bias

  • Every vote counts
    If we removed the electoral college process, every person's vote would be as important as any other person's. Currently only certain states matter in the presidential elections. Those of us in "gimme" states never see the candidates and feel our vote is not important.

  • Congressional Reform Act of 2012
    We need to fix Washington so we can fix our country. The problem is that we have too many career politicians who care more about keeping their jobs than solving problems.

  • End the Electoral College.
    This is an archaic method, hugely expensive and entirely unfair. Designed hundreds of years ago for a tiny, rural and widely dispersed population, it negates many of the personal popular votes.
