The lack of efficient government duties that have led our nation into an economically deficient situation for its citizens has reached the epitome of incompetence; therefore the rate of compensation should reflect that effort!

Why should being elected to a governement office be a lifetime paycheck and benefits package?! We cannot afford to pay these people until death! This is the only real way to trim the governments over spending!

Mandate the retesting of lawful drivers on or about the 50th anniversary (66-68 years of age) of the respected states legal driving age in order to retain the privileges to drive safely And every 5 years thereafter in the state of Oklahoma. It has been proven that with age as early and as young as 60 years of age the human brain loses the capacity to respond and react to stimuli with a delay of 40% more than a brain that is 16 years old. Up to a 3 seconds delay. These neurogenic changes and possibly other physiologic factors mimic those of a person behind the wheel with a blood alcohol content of .08 or higher. Which is not tolerated in the state of Oklahoma and cannot be a cause of another endangering incident to the lives of other drivers.

In order to restore open and democratic principles to the operation of the Senate, the use of holds on bills and other measures must be reformed. Any senator, with the consent of the leader, can hold up consideration of any bill or other measure by openly or secretly placing a hold on that item. Currently, there is no limitation to the time a hold can be in effect. This practice allows any one senator to effectively veto any legislation unless a supermajority of 60 senators overrides the hold. This practice places too much power in the hands of individual senators and is therefore undemocratic and not in the spirit of the Constitution. This petition needs to be presented to the Senate before opening day of the 113th Congress on January 3, 2013 in order to permit the majority to change the rule. Otherwise, a supermajority of 67 senators may be required.
