Prevent GMO corn from being grown in a huge area in Mexico that would endanger nearby subsistence farmers.

It is my belief that politicians, such as George Walker Bush, among others, have, over the past decade, RACED to rush America into wars which have done nothing more than fill coffins, in Arlington Cemetary. Would they have rushed to WAR if their own families were required to serve in the battles?

Stop the gridlock and work together across party lines to help the American people get out of and stay out of poverty. Get them back to work!

This Petition stresses the importance of equal financial support to all students in Illinois.

Compromise and move on

The members of Congress have for years blamed each other for this nation's problems. They are all responsible for the mess we are in.

Negative ads are bad enough but when they're untrue, it gives the voter a distorted view of their choices. This act would allow voters to make their choices based on actual qualifications rather than having to sort through lies and scare tactics.

The Supreme Court decision in Citizens United allowing for unlimited contributions to Super PACs has the potential to destroy the fabric of our American democracy. I am proposing that Congress format an amendment to the constitution that: 1) immediately nullifies Citizens United by 2) limiting the amount of money any individual or corporation may contribute to a political campaign 3) while requiring full public disclosure of the funds contributed, and finally 4) setting limits on the total amount spent on a political campaign for national office and 5) banning political television and radio commercials altogether. The effect of this amendment would be to limit the political campaign to issues and real debates between candidates bringing a sanity back to the political process in the United States.

As a way to reduce military spending President Obama should establish a Commission to study the feasibility of closing some U.S. military instulations located on foreign soil. This Commission would report back to the President within one year with recomendations for the closing of overseas U.S. military instulations. The closures would encompass roughly %50 of U.S. military personel and roughly %50 of all foreing instulations. To be implemented within 10 years.

NJ has the highest property tax in the country, and it is affecting families across the state including myself.
