Why should OUR taxes pay for free healthcare for Congress and the Senate when they make many times more a year than the average American. We demand you pay for your own healthcare until ALL Americans have free healthcare.

Congress has imposed sequestering across all of the Federal Government with one exclusion--their own salaries and expense accounts.

This petition is just one answer to gridlock in Washington If 8 years is good enough for the President it is good enough for the House and Senate. It will save taxpayers millions of dollars on retirement,hospital insurance.etc we will cover them only while they are in office The time has come where no one need to serve in Washington 20,30 plus years. This will keep all lobbyists from getting a stronghold on people we elect to serve the citizens of America.Also we need a law that says no matter your party if the majority of Americans over 50% want something done then get it done These people in Congress are in their own world and don't really care what the rest of us think or want. Send the whole Congress home now and let's start over .This also cut down on Corporate dollars buying races if they have to buy races every eight years at he costs of $millions of dollars they will soon dry up.

In the last 4 years, I have observed our congress to be the most NON-COHESIVE congress in decades! Change is what we want? Then it's change we will get! Limit Congressional Office terms on Capitol Hill for U.S. Congressmen/Congresswomen and U.S. Senators to TWO indeterminate periods. Allow for the congress to progress like the American People!

As a nurse I am personally concerned about the safety and well being of the residents of NYC. Judge Garaufis' recent court decision is allowing unqualified individuals to be hired onto the FDNY.

I work out at a fitness center that specializes in fitness boxing. Punch, the name of the gym, was founded by Adelino Da Costa and his brother, who are both world wide boxing champions, and native to African country Guinea-Bissau. Adelino Da Costa's brother, who would like to remain anonymous, has a Permanent Resident Card, and has two daughters, a son, and a wife. He lives in America, while his family lives in his home country. He has become successful, and everyday he sends them money, and tries to help them obtain a citizenship or a visa. For the last 3 years he has been trying to bring them over to the United States, but every time they are rejected. I understand the United States has many immigration policies, but many families have been separated because of our flaws. This is not right, if there are families at stake, they should be able to receive a visa.

My son who is a first time offender has received a 90 month prison term. 5 years was the minimum mandatory. This is too much for a first time offender who had never been in trouble before.

126,838,980 votes were cast in the last presidential election. These American citizens are waiting for our congressional representatives to conduct themselves like adults and take care of our business. The government belongs to all of the people not just a select few. Let your voice be heard.

Repeating the same election process without changing how they are funded means the same old results with new names. Lets change the way, not the limit, campaigns are funded. The S.Court ruled in 1976 limits on campaign funding is anti-free speech. But the states can required all campaign funding on every level including Federal to be directed to a state account for that election contest, and then equally divided among all running candiates. No limits, equal funding, blind sources, no payback strings attached funding.

Recently in California a proposition was narrowly defeated (via a $46 million dollar ad-blitz by the conglomerate "farmers") that would have required the labeling of all foods containing gmo (genetically modified organism). Many of us are concerned that these foods have been deemed "safe" by the FDA with little or no testing. Many more of us are tired of our concerns, as consumers, being ignored. We are tired of paying for these products in health detriments and inflated foods costs, to name only two. We are tired of being lied to. To demonstrate our seriousness and collective concern, we are boycotting all gmo-based products for the weekend of Earth Day, April 20-22. We ask that our local, state and national governing bodies support us in making proper labeling of foods containing GMOs mandatory.
