Making congress accountable!!!!

Congress should have to live by the same rules as all citizens.

Our Nations veterans are suffering and losing everything due to the illegal actions of the Department of Veterans Affairs with the claims process. Should they suffer all because they served for our Freedoms ? Washington feds the American public lies about how much is being done when if fact veterans are becoming homeless and committing suicide at alarming numbers.

Government reform will not happen on its own. You cannot expect those that are riding the gravy train to want to get off. It is time for our current representation in our government to effect real change for the people of our nation. They can either get on board with THE PEOPLE or get out.

Warren Buffet: "I could end the deficit in 5 minutes," he told CNBC. "You just pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election. 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. Warren Buffet is asking each addressee to forward this email to a minimum of twenty people on their address list; in turn ask each of those to do likewise. In three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message. This is one idea that really should be passed around.

End all corporate donations to candidates. leave donations to the general public. If not possible, leave corporations with a 100 dollar limit on donations max. No Legislation introduced to congress coming from private organizations like ALEC or CPAC or any other organization. NO corporate personhood. An end to "revolving door" phenomena - any public official who wants to leave public job to get a private job in the same field, must wait 10 years to do so. Reverse Citizens United v FEC case. Re-in-statement of Glass-Steingal. Like what Cenk Uygur proposed.

Citizens United was the US Supreme Court's ruling that says corporations have the same rights as people. This means corporations can contribute as much money as they wish to elected officials and causes. This means that corporations have more power than people. This ruling is a direct threat to the future of our democracy.

Support a federal amendment declaring that money is not a form of free speech! This is the only way to overturn the Supreme Court case Citizens United, and thus the only way to remove unlimited donations to political campaigns.

As the top 1% decides public policy for the bottom 99%, the Middle Class is being squeezed dry. Working Americans are being pitted against other working Americans in the hope no one will notice where the real problem stems from. It's time we all stand united for the 99%.

Based of an email floating around the internet. A friend pointed out we should actually start a petition with this. I agree. If you like the sentiment, sign it.

Warren Buffett, in a recent interview with CNBC, offers one of the best quotes about the debt ceiling:"I could end the deficit in 5 minutes," he told CNBC. "You just pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election. I propose congressional reform to to insure that all citizens are, indeed, created equal.

The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, who would represent the American citizenry without regard for personal gain nor in making their service a long term career position. Instead, those serving have created safety nets for themselves that average americans are not entitled to such as pay increases, a separate health care system for themselves, tenured pension pay, and they have established rules to protect themselves from the "everyday" laws imposed on all citizens. They should derive no greater benefit from service than that delivered to American citizens by the government.
