• Political insider trading
    Congress for years has apparently excepted itself from criminal laws relating to insider trading and placed itself above the law. There is absolutely no justifiable reason why Congress should not be subject to the same laws as the rest of society. This creates a double standard and leads to corruption and undue influence by a special interest group.

  • Shorten political campaigns
    National political campaigns begin a year or more prior to elections, leaving most voters weary of ads and news reports, bored by debates, tuned out to the issues and aggravated by candidates. Limiting campaigning time to four months prior to the election would allow candidates to focus on current issues and still provide plenty of time for voters to cast informed votes.

  • Warren Buffet's idea to fix congress
    If this was put in place, the problems with money running our congress would go away. We could actually have a congress for the people and not a congress for congress and the rich and corporations. Easy fix!

  • Norquist Pledge Inverted
    Norquist pledge keeps Congress from being the greatest deliberative body in the world. Congressmen should be open & humble critical thinkers, & statesmen willing to compromise for the common good.

  • Support the 99%.
    The movement that started with Occupy Wall Street needs to move forward. The government needs to always consider the 99% whenever they are making decisions that affect most of the nation. They can't be thinking only about the 1% or the people who give money to politicians

  • A simple majority in the US Senate
    Currently it takes 60 votes for a bill to pass the Senate. This rule should be changed in order that a simple majority, 51 votes, would become law.

  • Reform the Election Process
    My petition would take several steps to clean up the federal election process so that one man, one vote actually means what it says. The current process is corrupted by corporate and private money, by political redrawing of election district lines, by voting restrictions and by the existence of the electoral college.

  • Equality for All
    There is no good reason why political leaders should be on a retirement plan, income and health benefits, that is different and better than the rest of us. After all, we voted politicians into office to serve the public, not to be served by the public.
