  • Compromise to Avoid Cliff
    Massive, indiscriminate across-the-board cuts will hurt us all - not just the poor, but farmers, retirees, military personnel... everyone. Combine that will tax increases for the middle class and you have a disaster. Posturing and grandstanding aren't solutions; budget compromise is.

  • Compensation of Congressional Officials
    Given that Senators and Representatives are acting on behalf of their state, it should be up to each state to determine the compensation of their representatives. This petition seeks an Amendment to the US Constitution to shift control of the compensation (including pensions and health care) to the States and the residents of each state.

  • Tell all the Republicans that took Grover Norquist's pledge that they work for us not him.
    We vote for our Representatives and Senators to represent us, the American people. They take their oath of office to do just that yet the pledge the Republicans signed to Grover Norquist takes precedence.

  • Entitlements for Congress
    I have to pay or be responsible for my own Retirement and Health Care and am also as a Taxpayer paying for Congress' Retirement and Health Care. I am middle class but they can very well afford to pay for their own. What they do for us does not entitle them to those "Perks" and they voted it in for themselves, we did not.

  • National Reservoir System Creates A Million Jobs
    1. Water is a valuable commodity. In decades to come it will be more valuable than gold or oil. It can be sold and shipped to countries that have little. 2. A National Reservoir System can control flooding rivers by diverting water to national reservoirs. 3. Reserve water can be pumped to states that need it for drought relief. Just like the WPA of the 1930s or the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956, this one project can create jobs, save lives and property, and preserve a precious natural resource - and put USA back on top!

    Congress and the President are working on another budget deal right now, which affects every person in this country, and Senator Warner's support for a fair deal instead of a bad deal is essential.

  • Investigate why Monsanto has a stranglehold on our food choices!
    Monsanto has insidiously, through either buying our government officials or some other nefarious method, usurped our power of choice over what we consume. There needs to be a moratorium on all Genetically Modified products that are consumed by animals and humans until they have been rigorously, independently tested. Countries are outlawing these products as poison. Our country needs to do the same! This effects the whole world!
