Support White House NESARA PetitionNESARA (National Economic Security and Reformation Act) is a bill, already passed into law in the U.S. government, but kept under gag order for many years by some members of the 1%. If enough people sign the W.H. Petition (20,000 - 25,000) President Obama will announce and enact it. This bill will bring sweeping changes, not only to America but to the world and will address and solve all of the issues of the "Occupy Wall Streeters". link: http://wh.gov/4d5516 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Ramana Dorothy Karkus

Constitutional AmendmentAmend our Constitution to deny person hood to corporations. Corporations are not born and do not die.

STOP ONE-TERM STATE REP. PENSIONS!Stop allowing one-term representatives from getting a pension for life. They should not receive a pension until they have served at least 10 years as an elected official at the state level. This is a drain on the economy that should be eliminated.12 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Henry L. White

Congressional Benefits ConversionMembers of the U.S. Congress receive lifetime benefits that keep them from using the Social Security system as every other U.S. citizen must. I propose the current retirement and medical benefits package that current and former members of the U.S. Congress and U.S. Senators receive be changed so that they must qualify and use Social Security and Medicare as all other U.S. citizens must.14 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Timothy Anderson

Save the United States Postal ServiceIn 2006 Congress past house bill H.R. 2309 mandating prefunding of healthcare and retirement for the US Postal Service (USPS). The USPS retirement fund is now over paid by $47 billion, with 5.5 billion in required annual payments for retirement. Without this requirement there would be no USPS deficit. The Postal Service does not rely on taxpayer funds. If H.R. 2309 remains in effect it destroys the USPS and devastates the US Economy.33 of 100 SignaturesCreated by R. Logan

Abolish Corporate PersonhoodThe doctrine of corporate personhood that has been enacted and supported by the Supreme Court, most recently through their ruling in the Citizens United case, has allowed small groups of people (i.e. corporate boards of directors, CEOs, etc) with access to large amounts of cash to have an outsized influence on our governmental policies. This influence was a direct cause of the Financial Crisis of 2007-8, and time and again has brought this country and the world ever closer to true economic, ecological and social catastrophe.50 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Greg Schneiderman

Congressional Reform Act of 2011The citizens of this country are disillusioned with politicians in general and congress in particular. This issue has circulated fast an furious via email, even from people who are normally not interested in politics. The 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 1 year or less to become the law of the land...all because of public pressure.82 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lorraine Adan
