  • Salary control for congress
    Americans are outraged at the current system rewarding politicians and deserve to vote to bring the system back into place. Congress cannot police this themselves.

  • Term Limits For Congress
    Every American has been suffering due to politics winning over the will of the people. As a real estate broker, we have already seen buyers not being able to move because they have FHA loans or other government programs. Congress has forgotten why they are there and who's paying them. They are supposed to serve at the will of the people, all of the people, not just their party line. Please sign this petition!

  • Recall Speaker of the House John Boehner
    We all have a stake in this: if our country's credit rating is downgraded yet again due to foolish Tea Party game-playing, our entire economy could potentially crash again despite how far we've come since 2008. Speaker Boehner has the votes he needs to end the shutdown, but refuses to behave like a responsible adult and elected official. If his goal is obstruction to the point that government cannot function at all, we shouldn't be paying him for a job that he isn't doing.

  • Term limits for Congress
    What does it say about America when the government goes on strike? When employees of a company go on strike, the company just hires new people. Maybe that is what we need, fresh blood in office. The government is designed to serve us the people, not special interest parties. We need to take the corruption out before it festers.

  • Pass A Bill to End the Government Shutdown
    Studies show that the typical American only has a few months’ worth of expenses in their savings account. Individuals who work for the government cannot afford to go unpaid for significant periods of time. They did their job and are willing to continue to work for their livelihood, Congress should learn from their example. The shutdown of the government impacts more than the bank accounts of families, it affects children with cancer who were going to sign up for cancer treatment trials and now can't. The government shutdown hampers the ability of the government to react in any crisis situation because the civilian workers who support our military are not there to assist in normal operations. The government shutdown creates a vacuum in spending, which will weaken our economy in a time where we just started to build momentum. The government shutdown closes parks and national monuments to children, family and individuals who go there for recreation, vacations or field trips. The government shutdown will cause many hardships both in DC and across the Nation. Let's not let it continue.

  • Food Network: Stop Supporting GMO's
    As the world's #1 cooking show network, Food Network plays an important role in the choices consumers make every day. They have been silent about Genetically Modified Food, obviously in favor of their profit margin and to keep the advertising dollars coming in from the Big Food Industry. Tell Food Network to take a stand and say "NO to GMO!" or at least be honest and come out in favor of GMO's so we can "Say No" to them. Get off the fence Food Network! Take a stand!

  • Shame on you! You should not be paid.
    I am frustrated with inaction by the House and the Senate. All of them have not collectively represented the needs and welfare of our country.

  • Ask Rep. Nancy Pelosi to support legislation to get money out of politics.
    The now infamous Citizens United ruling gave corporations a Constitutional right to influence elections through unlimited spending. This spending has a major impact on who gets elected and how public policy is crafted. There is a movement to reverse the effects of this Supreme Court ruling and regain control of our government. Several US Representatives have proposed resolutions to amend the US Constitution and establish that money is not speech and corporations do not have the Constitutional rights granted to people. Rep Nancy Pelosi speaks often about the need to do something about this problem, however she has not signed on to any of the existing legislation, nor has she written her own resolution to remedy this issue.

  • Congressman Huelskamp: The Government Shutdown IS a Big Deal
    Last night, on the NBC Nightly News, Congressman Huelskamp said the government shutdown would not have a big affect on people. In actuality, some families will now struggle to feed their children, pay the bills and the rent. If the congressman thinks it's no big deal, how hard is he working to get the government up and running again? Tell Congressman Huelskamp the shutdown IS a big deal and he needs to realize that.

  • Speaker Boehner - take your gavel back.
    Shutdown leader Senator Ted Cruz of Texas is exercising more control over the House Republican caucus (and thus the agenda of the entire House of Representatives) than Speaker of the House John Boehner. Speaker Boehner needs to take back his gavel, take some control, and stop letting some Tea Party Senator use the House to hold America hostage to his extremist demands.
