Citizens just shake their heads over the lack of legislative outcomes in Washington . EVERYONE wants better results. One of the major barriers is the Filiibuster rule which abandons the "majority rules" concept present in every democratic institution. This rule must be modified to once again restore citizens trust and confidence in it's government.

My family and I were involved in an auto accident on 6/1/08 and are still dealing with the ramifications of this life altering event now in 2013. The legislators along with the Governor in Michigan are wanting to put a cap on the catastrophic claim at 1 million dollars for a lifetime claiming that the cost saving would benefit consumers when the estimated saving would be approximately $125.00 per year. This effort by them are not about us residents but saving Insurance companies millions of dollars.

Congress should enact legislation for a national strategy so emergency public public information is always coordinated with other emergency response measures using the PPW report, "A National Strategy for Integrated Public Warning and Capability": www.partnershipforpublicwarning.org/ppw/docs/nationalstrategy.pdf as a basis and guidance."

Huge number of homeless people die of exposure every winter in the cities in the north part of the country. In many of the cities, such as Detroit, New York, etc. there are hundreds of vacant and abandoned houses, factories, or warehouses. that could be used to house them, and protect their lives. This petition is to ask our federal government to step in and save the lives of hundreds or even thousands of homeless men, women, and children by purchasing these buildings and making them into viable shelters for these forgotten citizens of the United States that have been victims of the economic catastrophies brought on by the economic collapse in this country.

Ensure the passage of LD 1059, "An Act To Protect Maine's Environment and Natural Resources Jeopardized by Mining." In the spring of 2012, LD 1853 was passed in Maine, legalizing mountaintop removal via open pit mining. LD 1059, which was considered by the Environment and Natural Resources Committee on April 29 and will be voted on in the next few weeks, is sponsored by Representative Ben Chipman of Portland. It will result in a full repeal of LD 1853. The protection of our natural resources and health requires passage of LD 1059.

Congress has let the Budget hang for too long. Let Them pay for their stupidity. Before general department cuts, Congress' salary and privileges will be completely cut. Privileges are for Performance of duties and the income is token from the days when budgeting the government's expenditures was the job of Volunteers for a few years, rather than the reason for being a legislator.
