• Congress Benefits
    Congress should have the same benefits as Americans. They should not have their own pension plans, medical insurance, and should not have more than 2 weeks vacation like the general public. They think they are above everyone else and laws don't apply to them.

  • Government Productivity
    While we get data each week on how America's business community is doing re productivity...how about an ongoing analysis of the biggest most inefficient, highly paid, business of all: Government state and federal?? How many hours are they working? How many vacation days? What other perks do they give themselves that do not add to their productivity?

  • Grow up and Do Your Job
    Stop the grid lock in Washington DC. We have you elected as well as pay you in Congress to do a job. The legislative branch, as a whole, is charged with passing the nation's laws and allocating funds for the running of the federal government and providing assistance to the 50 U.S. states. Do your job or resign and let someone that is really interested in moving this country forward.

  • Stop Holding Us Hostage
    With the Fiscal Cliff "talks" going nowhere fast and the President holding his ground, taxes will go up on everyone, entitlement programs will be hit, etc. Instead of having talks that go nowhere or passing a note back and forth only to get shot down...tell the President he should hold his, congress' and the senate's pay checks hostage. Why should anyone be compensated for a job that isn't being done?

    In Nebraska, two non-married people cannot adopt a child, no matter how qualified they are. Without this possibility in our state, so many children and families are being kept from valuable resources and getting denied being legally acknowledged as a family.

  • Expunge Bankruptcies Caused by Unaffordable Medical Expenses.
    Millions of Americans have been and are being forced into bankruptcy because of the failure of the countries health care system to provide them affordable health care. Those Americans and their families should not have to bear the burdens of damaged credit ratings and the record of bankruptcy when it was the health care system that had failed them.

  • Senior Driving Tests
    Seniors are getting into car accidents more and more frequently as they age. It is dangerous not only to them, but all who share the road. My parents recently got into an accident where a 73 year old woman was at fault. Thankfully they are all OK, but this isn't always the case. Please sign this petition to encourage lawmakers to make the roads safer for everyone by requiring seniors to take driving tests.

  • Stop Taxpayer-funded ads by Medicare Advantage Plans
    Taxpayers pay extra to subsidize Medicare Advantage Plans compared to the cost of regular Medicare. Every fall, these plans fill our TVs and mailboxes with ads, and pay sales agents commissions to sign people up for their Advantage plan. The agents ask health questions to "guide people to the plan that is right for them" (my impression: guide sicker people to traditional Medicare.)
