  • "We The People" Amendment to the Constitution
    The Constitution of the United States starts with "We The People." The PEOPLE have been replaced by the influence of money. This petition seeks to affirm the primacy of individual voters, born human to human parents over entities born of legal standing. Though there are many examples, large and small, the clearest indication of the need for this is the Supreme Court's ruling in Citizens United. Perhaps, if we reaffirm the primacy of the voter in our rights, that Congress can then work to reform our institutions.

  • Get Money Out
    A piggyback to the petition on the D.R. show on MSMBC. I believe these petitions must be Sate by State to have the greatest effect on Congress, because all politics is local.

  • Performance Pay and Benefits for Congress
    Congress has repeatedly given themselves raises over the past twenty years when most of us have seen a steady erosion in pay and benefits. One of Congress's jobs is to ammend and approve the President's budget- something they have repeatedly failed to do in a timely fashion for years. This petition is to link Congressional pay and benefits to their performance while in Congress.

  • Fix "Citizens United" Ruling
    H.J. Res. 78, offered by Rep. Donna Edwards of Maryland, seeks to change the Constitution to allow limits to corporate spending on campaigns. This is the only means to reverse the ill-fated Citizens United decision by the Supreme Court, allowing unlimited corporate spending on campaigns for public office. There is a mirror proposal in the Senate made by John Conyers of Michigan.

  • Overturn Citizens United
    This is the ruling made by the U.S. Supreme court that allows any corporation to spend an unlimited amount of money on campaigns and ultimately a heavy hand in the outcome of any election.

  • Ratify Article the First!
    There is only only one way for people to take back our government, and that is by putting more authentic representative voices in it. The irony is that the very first proposed amendment to our constitution, Article the First, would have created a far more vibrant and democratic republic, than we have presently. Read, research, and sign this petition to refresh the republic with real democracy! New Jersey, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Vermont, and Kentucky have already ratified the proposed Amendment to the Constitution, let’s do likewise!

  • Stop government welfare to Congress
    Taxpayers are paying millions in pensions & family insurance to one time congress members. We need to change it to match the public sector's benefits. Members of congress should pay health insurance for their spouse & children. Members of congress should receive no pensions until they have served for twenty years. If they serve for ten years they could receive a pro rated pension unless they are convicted of a felony or forced to resign due to scandal.

  • PUBLIC FUNDED ELECTIONS
    At the heart of all of our problems as a nation is that we want a government that is truly BY the PEOPLE, FOR the PEOPLE but instead we are suffering from an institution that is being crippled by private / special interest groups. We the people need to take special interest money out of politics and make it illegal to accept private money, bribes or favors from lobbyists.

  • obey our constitution
    Getting governments to obey their oath to obey our constitution. This ignoring of our supreme law has led to inflation, unemployment, corruption, usurpation, tyranny, excess regulations, rules, codes, acts, orders, mandates, laws, restrictions, high taxes, low representation and loss of freedom.

  • Eliminate Special Priviliges Congress Has Given Itself
    Congress has passed laws that provide it special privileges. Congress should not be treated differently than the public. They should have a retirement plan the same as federal or state workers.
