One Six year term limit for all members of the US Congress.The US Congress, as it consists today is beholden to special interests. If members of Congress are restricted to one six year term in office they would weigh more carefully how they vote on bills and laws since they would be affecting their own lives directly when they return to the electorate.45 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mel Zipes

Lets require gun buyers to pass a psychiatric evaluation in addition to a background check.Background checks alone are not sufficient when it comes to screening gun buyers. Many who perform mass shootings have no criminal record, or history of violent behavior. We must not allow those with undiagnosed mental illness to slip through the cracks and gain access to lethal weapons. The safety of innocent people in public places should trump the ever expanding and gravely misinterpreted "right to bear arms".10 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jean Collins

don't work don't get paidI'm thinking that congress and senate need more incentive to work. So how about the people demand that until they do their jobs that they got elected to do they don't get paid unless they compromise. also take away their health care.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Eric Iverson

Paid lobbying and influence peddling outlawedThe purpose of lobbying has been usurped by the greedy, the rich and those actually aiming to thwart the voice of the American people for their own monetary and political gain. The American people must take back complete control of their own government access and disallow paid mouthpieces to muddy the waters and pollute our democratic process. People (and only people) should have FREE and UNFETTERED access to state their opinions without being challenged, negated, and usurped by paid representatives of special interest groups. We must get ALL money our of our political system so it can be revived from its current tarnished and corrupted state back to that intended by the signers of the Constitution of the United States of America. Only individual (i.e. private citizens, including CEOs, THEMSELVES) should have access to our lawmakers.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Bev Barrick

Property Valuation for TaxationProperty valuation for taxation, by the Island County Assessor's Office, is very inaccurate, violates WA Statutes, and doesn't follow industry accepted appraisal practices. It also demonstrates favoritism (and the opposite if one dares to fight the system). I purchased a pacel for 50% of the Assessed valuation due to severe eagle encumbrance. I couldn't build on 58% of my land, nor clear trees for any view. The Assessor refused to adjust their erroneous, simplistic valuation. The County valuation appeal system is just as corrupted. The State appeal system is only slightly better. When I talk with others, they have similar complaints. The system must be im,proved!1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Tim Verschuyl

BEOW SCHROERThe blind have problems determining the different dollar bills in our currency. Its about time we find a solution to make it easier for them to make out the different denomination as at the moment they are all the same size and they can be taken advantage of under the present system and that is not fair to them.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by BEOW SCHROER

Petition of Support for Senator Joe ManchinWest Virginia Senator Joe Manchin, who has an A rating from the NRA, has said that it is time to get assault rifles off our streets. We realize taking this position took courage on his part, for we all know that the NRA has successfully used its vast sums of money to intimidate our elected officials -- by threatening to have those members of Congress thrown out of office who do not back the gun manufacturers and their NRA-supported legislation which has put military-style weapons of mass murder in the hands of any and all persons seeking them. Therefore, it is vitally important that Congress be made aware of how many of our country's citizens favor the actions and words which we have been privileged to witness from the Senator from West Virginia. It is courage and leadership like his which we welcome and support. It is the just the kind of leadership which we will remember, and support with our vote, at the ballot box.7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Janice Stout
