Why do we allow rules that are the equivalent to political bribery? Why do we permit private interests to create conflicts of interest between our elected representatives and ourselves? For much too long, private special interests have been bullying our representatives into showering them with our tax dollars through contracts and subsidies and deregulating industry regardless to We The People's needs. These corporations, with their war chests of money and their corporate tool candidates, threaten to oppose anyone who cares about putting We The People's interests ahead of their own. Let's work to declare our representatives independent from the lingering threat of corporate retaliation that comes from doing what's in We The People's interests by supporting those candidates who support this pledge. This Citizens Protection Pledge is an oath to We The People that will work to eliminate the dangerous conflict of interest that is created when public representatives accept special interest money. Let's effectively end the corrupt practice of politicians putting in a term or two and then going to work as a high paid lobbyist or even going to work in any capacity for a corporation that has a lobbying department. Will you please sign our new Americans United petition and share it with your friends and family all over the United States? The greater the awareness of the systematic corruption and its ill effects on our democracy the greater will be our ability to overpower it. All in all, persons who are running for elected offices and who sign this Pledge deserve to be considered on their merits to fulfill the needs of the elected office and if they do so, should be considered for election to said office over others running for said office who have not signed this Pledge. Thanks for all you do. Sincerely, Ben Bosley America United Keep updated and join the dialogue: www.facebook.com/AzUnited Resources: moveon.org connectthedotsusa.com

Eliminate federal pensions for all members of Congress.

The power outages of last fall and this past week along the east coast and the fires out west need out attention. We can help each other and the nation by encouraging all of our elected officials to do the following: 1. Start burying the power lines NOW-spend the money here. 2. Hire returning vets with many, many different skills to do that, to train to fight fires when needed, to rebuild the lost homes, businesses etc now and each year.

Whales and Dolphins are wonderful. They love humans, yet we keep hurting them for no reason. They are super intelligent. How do we know they are not smarter than us? They don't kill for no reason. They like to eat, so do I. They love to play, me too. Please stop harming these wonderful creatures. When I peer into a whales eyes I see beauty and a thought process. Dolphins are the loving. They love to follow ships and put on a show.

It should be the lottery winner's right to chose whether they want to claim their winnings in a public event or not. If a state is not going to allow a winner anonymity, then the winner should be able to chose when and where they claim the winnings. There is a big difference between releasing information and mandating a public appearance with photographs.

Repairing TEETH is the repair of the FIRST of the digestive organs. Those organs are A) TEETH B) STOMACH C) INTESTINE. WE THE SO-CALLED PEOPLE HAVE NO RIGHT TO HEALTH CARE COVERAGE OF OUR TEETH.

The Trans-Pacific Partnership is a trade agreement currently in negotiation with 11 countries including the United States. The TPP is cloaked in secrecy with a timetable targeting the end of this year. Based on what is known, however, it appears that the agreement essentially elevates large multinational corporations to the same level as a sovereign state and limits national and private citizen rights in favor of corporate rights.

My petition is about equal rights for equal folks. I also believe that this move will cause an immediate impact on the local economy of Las Vegas, Nevada considering all of the marriages that occur there already.

We the undersigned residents of Indiana fully support the Affordable Care Act and wish to see it implemented in Indiana as soon as possible.

I recently had a doctor's appointment for which I had to take my lunch break at work to attend. I was the only person in the waiting room when I got there at 1:25pm for my 1:30pm. After being there for 15 minutes and not being seen I was ready to leave as I was on my lunch break. Incidents like this have happened on more than on occasion and it is very frustrating. Our time is just as important as there's.
