  • Repeal Citizens United
    Please tell our elected officials that Citizens United is anti-Democratic and dangerous to our Republic. Since corporations are controlled by who owns the stakes in the company, this opens up the possibility and probability of foreign influence over our internal politics by funding candidates through a foreign power's investments in U.S. based companies. It's a National Security threat.

  • Stop Congressional Gridlock
    This petition speaks to the issue of particianship and the lack of moral and honest legislation based on needs of the people, not along party lines for political gain. It is based on the integrity of individual thinking rather than a two party system. It would be beneficial to see issues through the eyes of many instead of the integrity of two parties, both not interested in personal levels of committment, but the power each party desires. Changing the voting procedure to popular vote instead of the current two party dominance. Let congress members vote by conscience not along party lines.

  • Warren Buffet; Don't let BNSF hold public transportation hostage
    The Regional Transportation District in Colorado (RTD) was stunned when Burlington Northern Santa Fe demanded $535 million UP FRONT for use of the right of way for the North West corridor for the Commuter Rail transportation project. Warren Buffet's company bought the company for $44 billion. Charging so much for use of an existing right of way for public transportation is holding the Denver area's progress hostage.

  • STOP GOP GOAL FOR OFFSHORE DRILLING
    The U. S. House of Representatives 248-163 to expand oil drilling offshore and on Federal lands and shelve new environmental rules for refineries. Bill "Birther" Posey who allegedly represents the Space and Treasure Coast in Florida voted for this assault on the fragile Florida ecology. He must be made accountable for his actions against his own community. Every citizen in Florida should be working for his defeat in his re-election bid in November

  • Term Limits for Congress
    Congress is completely broken, overly partisan and basically doing nothing to help Americans because they are too focused on re-election. I propose term limits of 2 terms for House of Representatives and 1 term for Senators. In order to get Congress behind this law, those currently serving can be grandfathered out of the term limits requirement, but anyone new must adhere to term limits!

  • Turn Your Back on Big money
    It is a pledge petition. Those who sign pledge to not vote for any candidate who has the support of the billionaires who want to control the election results with unlimited money. Our elections are not for sale to the highest bidder.

  • A Promise Made is a Promise kept
    The Illinois legislature wants to decrease pension benefits for those who are receiving a pension. This decrease in income will be a hardship for those who will have to choose between eating and buying medicine. Teachers have fulfilled their part by working and contributing for as much as 30 years. Now the legislature wants to void the Constitutional right which, according to the constitution will not be changed.

  • Sales Tax on Political Advertising
    Big money has taken over politics to an even greater degree and the people have very little chance of changing that. We can, however, gain some needed resources to support education, economic development, and human services.

  • Impeach the R.A.T.S. Roberts, Alito,Thomas, Scalia
    They lied about judicial activism. My concern is the return of this country to a plutocracy: with the rich in charge and the rest of us as serfs in a medieval feudal system. Corporations are NOT people. They should not be able to buy the election and destroy our democracy by wiping out the middle class.

  • Stop the Nuclear Waste Dump in Texas
    Texas may approve billionaire Harold Simmons to build the largest nuclear waste sight in Texas above ground water that needed by four states. The site would accept nuclear waste from all around the country. Geologists say the dump will inevitably leak nuclear waste into the aquifers. Harold Simmons has donated $ millions to Republican causes and gave $1.2 million to Rick Perry for his Presidential campagne. He was disowned by his daughter for making campaign contributions in her name.
