It's thebest way to increase the income of the Federal Government.

Congressmen and Senators are public servants. Their job is to focus on representing the interests, and improving the lives of the American people. Long terms in office can foster the development of exclusory relationships with lobbyists and big business which can result in biased decision making. Reducing the years held in office by Congressmen and Senators may decrease the likelihood of prejudicial outcomes.

Witness the shutdown of the United States Government. The recent Supreme Court Judgment of Citizens United v FEC has permitted the Koch brothers to leverage the House majority to their bidding for fear of immense funding of primary opposition. This has got to stop.

**ADD YOUR ADDRESS IN THE COMMENTS SECTION OR EMAIL US YOUR ADDRESS ([email protected])SO CAN DEMONSTRATE HOW MANY RESIDENTS ON STREET OPPOSE** ** CITY COUNCIL MEETING NOV. 5TH 6:30 SHARROWS WILL BE DISCUSSED** **PUBLIC MEETING NOV. 12TH** Sharrows were originally intended to keep bikes from riding on sidewalks (which Pacific does not have) and to keep bike riders from being “doored" (not an issue). There are serious safety issues: topgraphy where drivers can't see cars much less bikes, steep hills, blind intersections, sections that aren't wide enough for sharrows, no sidewalks and a street full of driveways.

TEXAS legislators pander to the Tea Party no matter how it affects ALL Texans. NO to healthcare, women issues, jobs, affirmative action, taxing the wealthy, raising minimum wage, term limits, etc. NO! NO! NO! Say NO to them and FIRE them in 2014 and 2016.

This petition is started because our elected Representatives are in default to the American people on their Constitutional duties to work in the best interest of the people. The TeaParty led Republicans in the House are an organized insurrection and are in violation of Section 3 of the XIV Amendment and as such are not governing ethically and responsibly. Since they are acting in organized fashion, it is not reasonable to think that they will remove themselves, so we are petitioning for their gyms and all other amenities to be SHUTDOWN NOW! And these amenities should remain shutdown until such time as they remember that they were elected to work together and open our Government.

Every year kids, adults, and senior citizens alike look forward to "Swing Night" an event that not only brings entertainment and enjoyment to the fine people of Nutley NJ, but also brings about a sense of community and fellowship most towns just don't have. If you also believe that Nutley can afford to cut the budget somewhere else cough* Street fair cough* so bad *cough, in order to provide its citizens with what they really want then I urge you to please sign this petition.

This project will cause a nearly 2 year traffic jam on Topanga Cyn. Blvd. and harm the businesses there both financially and biologically due to the new mega cell tower to be installed at the post office. While other countries are taking steps to reduce cell tower radiation exposure to their citizens, LA County is looking to increase it for Topangans. The WHO says this radiation causes cancer in humans, Taiwan just removed 1500 cell towers due to death and illness, India lowered their radiation emissions by 90% and moved cell towers away from communities due to outbreaks of cancer near the towers and countries across Europe are taking protective action on this issue. Why must we be placed in harms way? This project must be stopped.

I am starting this petition because I do not want to see America destroyed by the Racism, Hatred, Lies, Treachery and Deceit of a few that can potentially destroy the many.

Fast Track Authority has been used to pass bills like NAFTA, bills that, if openly debated on their merits would never stand the light of day, bills that have cost millions of manufacturing jobs, and have severely damaged the U S economy. TPP and TTIP would further eliminate manufacturing and service jobs, create investor-state entities that would have power over our sovereign U S and state governments, override U S food and water safety laws, allow currency manipulation, destroy labor laws, severely limit internet freedoms, and, most damaging to Florida’s seniors, do away with affordable medications by eliminating generics, through unlimited patent extension of brand-name medications. Our citizens can’t survive such a race to the bottom. Congress has a responsibility to their constituents, to openly debate any bill respecting trade, and in fact, this authority is spelled out by the United States Constitution. Article 1, Section 8 reads: "The Congress shall have power to regulate commerce with foreign nations." President Obama is asking the House to re-establish Trade Promotion Authority, or fast track, so he and the United States Trade Representative, can ram through the Trans-Pacific Partnership, or TTP, and its European cousin, the Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, TTIP, or TAFTA, which are referred to as NAFTA on steroids by anyone who has read the leaked texts. Fast track authority expired in 2007, but President Obama, wants to revive it to get these egregious so-called free trade agreements passed without public scrutiny. and very little debate, just like what happened with NAFTA and the WTO. If these “free trade” agreements are so great, let’s openly debate them on their merits. With so much at stake, we are asking our national representative, not to cede power to the executive branch, who is actively seeking to add another punishing round of "free trade" only made possible through the Constitutionally questionable Trade Promotion Authority or Fast Track. Voting "NO" on Fast Track will allow transparent floor debate, and save us from the TPP and TTIP, because once the people of this country see just what is in these so called free trade agreements, these deals will be dead on arrival. Fast Track is a procedure that gives more trade authority to the president, and stipulates that the bills in question will have very limited debate, only 20 hours on the House floor, and no possibility to amend, or filibuster, and can only receive an up or down vote. President Obama wants to use Fast Track to ram through the TPP and TTIP, We need our Representative in Washington to Vote "NO" on Fast Track!

We are holding a protest to: 1) End the shutdown! Congress must immediately pass a clean continuing resolution and end the shutdown. 2) Pass a budget! Congress hasn't pass a budget since 2009. Their failure to do this is unacceptable. No more stop-gap measures. 3) Govern for all! We want a Congress that works for the good of the country as a whole. That means more leading and less pandering. Visit our Facebook site for more information: https://www.facebook.com/wtfcongressprotest
