• Demand Congressman Randy Neugebauer's Resignation
    I am outraged that Rep. Randy Neugebauer claims to represent any part of my home state. His behavior proves that he does not understand the consequences of his own actions and therefore needs to immediately stand down before more damage is done.

  • Congressional salary shutdown
    I want my legislators to take personal responsibility and experience the same consequences of their votes as other citizens. It isn't fair for them to revoke the salaries of their constituents without sharing their plight.

  • New Constitutional Amendment
    There are far too many career legislators, too removed from the general U.S. citizenry. Our country was founded on citizen legislators and needs to be again. Perhaps then something will get done.

  • Tell Congressman Tom Latham: End the Republican shutdown
    At an August town hall meeting, Rep. Tom Latham (R-Iowa) said that supporting a federal government shutdown would be “irresponsible” and have a “huge, negative impact.” He even said he opposed a shutdown as a way to delay Obamacare. Now, he has time and again voted with the tea party for a government shutdown. Join Daily Kos and Progress Iowa in demanding that Congressman Tom Latham get back to work—and reopen the government without delaying Obamacare.

  • Make Marriage equality a federal issue
    Marriage equality is a civil right which is equated in our federal constitution. No one should have the right to vote for or against civil rights. Each state should follow the constitution and allow legal marriage equality. The polls show its acceptance and recent court actions prove it.

  • No pay for Congress during the shutdown
    The inequality and injustice of Congressmen being paid during the shutdown that causes rank and file federal workers to be unpaid creates a ridiculously unfair imbalance. It's outrageous that members of Congress can continue to receive pay while not doing their jobs and inflicting hardship on others with their inaction and inflexibility. They are there to make the country work, not to shut it down because they don't get to have everything their way.

  • Across-the-board cuts for Congress
    I am tired of lifetime politicians destroying our country and never feeling the pain the people they were elected to represent have to feel because of their actions. In other countries we, the people, would be able to FIRE all of them! At least they should not be paid like the rest of the government, so there is some pressure for the hard core Tea Party Republicans to grow up and do the right thing. They can't seem to do it for the right reasons so hit them where it hurts.

  • No more gerrymandering
    Voting fairness . We risk loss of representation when political interests draw the lines for unfair advantage. Gerrymandering is undemocratic and should be stopped now before anymore elections anywhere .

  • Congress should live under same laws as the USA citizens
    It's time for the United States Congress to live and work as those who have elected them. The laws they make should apply to them as well as every other citizen -- same benefits, same healthcare, same retirement benefits, same leave without pay as all other government employees are required to take during government shutdowns.
