When our elected officials carry out their term of service in Congress/Senate, they are covered with health care for life which tax payers pay. Let them deal with health care benefits like the rest of America.

Limit U.S. Senators to two terms (12 years) and U. S. Representatives to four terms (8 years). The focus of the majority of the members of Congress is on re-election. Many members of Congress have never held a private sector job. Term limits are the only means by which control of the government can be shifted back to the people.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, blindly following a scientifically unsupportable policy, is calling for the City of Coeur d’Alene to remove hundreds of mature trees from the dike that follows the lake and riverfront around City Park and North Idaho College. We're calling on the Army Corps of Engineers to reconsider the policy and allow the city to keep its trees.

Big money taints our politics because WE allow it to buy elections. As long as money is equated with free speech, everyday Americans will not have the voice in their government that the founders intended us to have. We MUST amend the Constitution to clarify what "freedom of speech" really means to us, and to reclaim our elections. Reclaim America!

The corruption and greed has so overrun Washington that our elected officials are favoring corporate interests over what is right or good for the people at every opportunity. No real reform will be possible until we can clean house in Washington, D.C. Our most powerful weapon to fight the corruption is the vote. But to be effective, we must unify enough of us to create a large, unified grass roots movement. We can unify a hundred million of us by formulating a new platform of reform that brings great benefits to the masses. With our huge numbers united behind a reform agenda, we will have the power to vote out a majority of the corrupt politicians in Congress. This petition explains how we can organize and unify enough of us to vote in our own and clean house in our government.

Whatever your political beliefs, if you believe there is something wrong in America today, this applies to you. It isn't about Republicans, Democrats, Tea Partiers, Conservatives, liberals or individual candidates of whatever political belief or persuasion. Wake up America! Congress itself is broken. It no longer represents the interests of all the people. The system itself has become corrupted infecting all who are a part of it. They are rushing us to third world status draining our jobs and our wealth. Refusing to fairly tax the few beneficiaries of their largess and enriching themselves in the process. What else can explain the Bogus Supreme Court Citizens United decision declaring Corporations are PEOPLE and can make unlimited contributions to politicians. going unchallenged and uncorrected in congress??? This an action whose time has come. If you believe congress is not and should not be a ruling elite answerable only to corporate lobbyists and the super rich 1% who own most of the wealth, act on this. 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. I'm asking each of you to ACT NOW. Sign the Petition.

Under Supreme Court rulings corporations, unions, PACS, and other associations are allowed to throw as much money in political campaigns as they like, corrupting our political processes. Politicians are in a race for these funds, and in the process they trample our rights. We need an amendment to the US constitution to limit the activities of such groups.

Members of Congress should be entitled to the same health care and pension options available to the average American, and nothing more: Social Security, Medicare, 401K pension plans and the range of health care plans options the rest of us have to choose from.

If we can get 400,000 signatures the citizens can take the first step to pushing this horrible governor out of office.

This petition will seek to limit every Senator and every Congressman to 2 term limits just as our President is.

We no longer need 2 Senators from each State. This was reasonable when the constitution was written. With 50 states, one Senator per state is ample. It's time to cut back on the senate's expenditures.

If you stood up at a town hall meeting to ask your elected representative about a congressional vote, would you expect your photo to show up on a "citizen watch list" flyer in another state? That's just what happened to six Florida residents who questioned Rep. Dan Webster (R -FL 8) at his town halls earlier this year. Will you stand with the "Watch List 6" and other "blacklisted" citizens and demand Rep. Webster stop harassing and intimidating his constituents? His shocking abuse of power in creating and distributing a "watch list" those who dared to publicly question his votes to cut life-saving programs like Medicare and Medicaid will not be tolerated. Rep. Webster actually sent this list to other members of Congress who distributed them at their own town halls. Intimidating people for speaking at town halls is unconscionable in a public servant. Rep. Webster must immediately apologize directly to the private citizens he targeted in these watch lists, and to his entire district, in order to mend the broken confidence of his constituents. He must commit to immediately stop creating and distributing "watch lists" and to recognize the rights of all his constituents--not just his supporters. Town hall meetings are an important tool for constituents to communicate with their elected representatives. We cannot allow Rep. Webster to intimidate people for asking questions and demanding accountability from members of Congress.
