For a healthier and sound Government Congressional Reform Act 1. No Tenure / No Pension.for a Congressman/woman Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they're out of office. 2. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security. All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose. 3. Congress must earn their own retirement in the private sector, just as all Americans do. 4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%. 5. Congressmen lose their current health care once they leave office and participates in the same health care system as the American people. 6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people. 7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void effective 12/1/13. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women. 8. pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election Congress made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by william english

The Death Penalty in FloridaI, along with friends from Amnesty International, Valencia college, UCF, PeaceBuilders with Justice of Florida, and professionals like Joe Durocher, have worked against the death penalty for many years want to change the unjust Death Penalty in Florida. Poverty and race are more influential in the verdict than guilt. The Florida system is deeply flawed as shown by its high rate of exoneration: 24 men were released from Death Row when found innocent. Who knows how many of the 74 who were executed were also innocent?1,608 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Peacebuilders with Justice of Florida

Why are members of Congress getting a pay raise?I, like every working American, have seen a 2% cut in my pay because Congress voted not to extend the payroll tax holiday. However, our politicians in Washington just gave themselves a .5% raise. A member of the House of Representatives makes $174,000. Do the math.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Laura De Sabatino

Publish a ghost budget in which the costs of tax deductions are itemized and reported like any ot...Fairness and clarity will best be served by treating income adjustments, tax breaks and exemptions like any other government expenditure. Political tricksters and hired poets use language to make the tax deductions for business lunches seem very different from government payments to help the poor feed themselves. Or to make deductible mineral exploratory costs very different from payments to support education.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Michael Cunningham
