Congress: Issue Subpeonas for the Drone Strike MemosSenate and House committees have sought from the Administration legal memos justifying the use of drone strikes outside any traditional theater of war, including those that target American citizens. In response, the Administration finally released some information, but is refusing to disclose more. It makes a difference what the policy is. Recent polls have indicated that most Americans wouldn't support drone strikes if there is a significant risk of civilian casualties, and wouldn't support broad targeting of anyone suspected of being associated with a militant group if they aren't a threat to the United States. The information that has been released so far shows that the Administration can release information to Congress and the public without compromising national security. We need to have an informed public debate about the drone strike policy, and to have an informed debate, we need to know what the policy is. Here's an article from the Huffington Post about the possibility of subpoena: Subpoenas For Drone Memos From House Judiciary Committee Has 'Bipartisan Interest' http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/27/drone-memos_n_2776036.html1,390 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Robert Naiman

No Results no pay!Our Congress is failing the American people that they serve. I am asking that we change the pay structure for our Senators and Congress men and women. Change the pay structure to a model that is results driven or return it back to a per diem model that was good enough for our forefathers. The current pay structure offers 175 to 194,000 dollars per annum (130 to 180) days. $97.00+ /hour. This pay structure is obviously not working and I believe that there is no incentive to produce results. Offering a per diem with min and max bonuses based on US citizen satisfaction will improve andl produce better results.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lonnie

Exporting energy without a Energy PolicyOur Goverment has failed to ever establish a Energy Policy. Other countries want our fuel and will pay for it. This may cause our energy to be sold without a energy policy to control the transactions.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Alvin Bradford

Repeal Section 634 of the Taxpayer Relief ActSection 634 of the Taxpayer Relief Act decreases Medicare outpatient reimbursement for Cobalt 60 stereotactic radiosurgery (“Gamma Knife®”) for brain disorders by more than 50%. Which is below the cost of providing a procedure. This will reduce access to an important treatment for Medicare beneficiaries, result in certain patients losing access to a viable procedure and potentially impose cost increases on the Medicare program over time.1,070 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Repeal Section 634

Ban Cell phones while drivingStudy after study has demonstrated that talking on a cell phone while driving is dangerous. This practice should be banned. It would also make it easier to enforce the no texting law if any cell phone use while driving is illegal.400 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Nancy

Truely Love YourselfCrime cant stop if people continue on abusing their children. Children have to be taught to love themselves at a early age. There is too much child abuse in this country, too many gangs. Why do kids join gangs? its because there is no love at home for them. In Chicago kids are being killed almost everyday according to MSN. Its seems that criminals have more power than our own President.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Maria

Abolish Daylight Saving Time and Recommend a New Standard Time in IowaDaylight Saving Time (DST) interferes with many social life styles, sleep pasterns and work cycles etc and has no real benefits to our society. It is time to end DST and explore/propose a new alternative time standard that does not interfere with these situations. The NST is the perfect solution to fixing DST and bringing our time system to one that does not require any yearly changes once it is in place. For further information on the NST, SIFI and links to each states petitions go to http://ssa.cc/nst.html (Please Note that you need to petition DST in the state that you reside in being that is each state within the US chooses there time systems individually. At this time Arizona and Hawaii do not observe DST)9 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Phil Weidner
