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.

Fix our Federal Government. Limit our US and State Congressmen to two consecutive terms in office. This would end corruption and cronyism. Term limits downgrade seniority, favors meritocracy. Increases competition, encourages new challengers. Builds a ‘citizen’ Congress, drives out career politicians. Breaks ties to special interests. Improves tendency to vote on principle. Introduces fresh thinking, new ideas, eliminates 'old bulls'. Reduces power of staff, bureaucracy, lobbies. It will create a natural reduction in wasteful federal spending. Encourages lower taxes, smaller government, greater voter participation in elections. While this will require a constitutional amendment that we should all support.

Save our country and ourselves and our progeny!

Protecting soldiers and their family from radiation poisoning

Our current Congress is dysfunctional in serving its constituents - America's voters. The source of this dysfunction is "Power which tends to corrupt and absolute power which corrupts absolutely". Power grows with longevity in Congress, where some members are more concerned with self interests, as opposed to the interests of voters who put them there. A change in course is needed to elect Senators and Representatives that respond to voters' needs, not those of special interests and big money.

Congress and the President are poised to make changes to the Social Security Trust Fund. Congress owes the Social Security Trust fund 2.6 Trillion dollars. We are asking them to leave Social Security alone until every penny owed the "Trust" Fund has been repaid. These monies were paid into the Trust by hardworking and trusting workers and employers. who were underd the impression that the funds they were paying into Social Security would be there when they reached retirement. Had these funds not been re-appropriated by Congress , Social Security would be solvent today.

Lebanon Rescue had it's account changed to an Enterprise account last year. This change meant Rescue does not require resident approval for spending and budgets as is is done for ALL other town departments. Immediately after the change, the department committed the town to tens of thousands on new equipment purchases and also never clearly explained the financing of the new ambulance purchase. This was even after being pressed by the Budget Committee and Residents during the last the Town Meeting. The point is residents had NO SAY in this extra spending or ANY of the spending. The purpose of this petition is to change the department account back to a standard account as it always was, once again requiring residents approval of the departments budget and it's spending as is done for all other departments via annual referendum vote.
