We are outraged by petitions to the President's office requesting peaceful succession from the Union. These people do not represent us.

Very simple, Mitch McConnell is hell bent on stopping democrats from making any significant progress on any substantial issue and has brought Congressional business to a screeching holt by utilizing the dreaded filibuster. He must be challenged and Ashley Judd is democrats best shot at taking him down!

Members of Congress salaries should be suspended the day they go over the cliff. Do not reinstate until an agreement is reached.

Yes, because so many of our children's families are without health care and this affects their secuirty and their well being.

A bill to extend middle class tax cuts beyond December 31st, has passed the Senate and remains in the House of Reps, waiting on a vote. Speaker Boehner MUST vote on the bill before Christmas.

im a welder and in this field it is tuff to find a job becouse most companies have switched to a 90/10 work force. where 90%hire ons and 10% permanent temps. this does not sound like alot but it is becoming common practice to only hire the management/ suppervisors and have the workers as permanent temps. i have personally watched as companies would tell the temps (some of wich have been working at the companie for years) that there are no positions availabe as we watched a what i assume is a friend or familey member gets hired on off the street. this ruins what illusion of worker rights we have left and proves to be an unstable ground for working families to stand on.

$1.2 trillion was wiped out from the global economy this year as a result of a warming planet, which is 1.6% of the world economy, according to the Dara Group's report, Climate Vulnerability Monitor. The study also estimates costs associated with warming to increase to 3.2% of the world economy by 2030, leaving world GDP nearly stagnant, and falling. It is way past due that the US Government wake up to the sobering fact that climate change and economic decline must be fought with trillions of dollars in large infrastructure projects to renew our energy, transportation, and communication grids, as well as reshape urban planning in order to create a more balanced relationship between humans, resources, and nature.

People on Staten Island displaced due to Superstorm Sandy have lost their homes and many still await FEMA trailers. Meanwhile, a lot of potential housing away from the flood zone goes unused due to underwater mortgages, legal issues, etc. My petition is to ask the government to take over such properties by means of eminent domain, rehabilitate them as necessary, and use them to house people who need new homes due to the storm. The issue is now so massive it goes beyond economics and affects the social order.

This petition is to urge Representative Lamar Smith (R-TX), outgoing Chair of the House Committee on the Judiciary, or his successor, incoming Chair Representative Bob Goodlatte (R-VA), to initiate impeachment proceedings against every member of congress who has signed the "Taxpayer Protection Pledge" sponsored by "Americans for Tax Reform". The signers of this pledge have signed a sworn oath that contradicts their oath of office. Therefore, in fact, they do have mental reservations, and they do have purpose of evasion, a High Crime and Misdemeanor (perjury of oath).

congress should not get paid and health care coverage until they get thier jobs done before they go home,and stop getting paid for the days they are not in DC. I would get fired if I did not do my job.
