Washington doesn't work. Congressmen even admit that they can't get anything done because of politics and partisanship. I would like to initiate a concept to replace the WHOLE federal government in this next election, unless each individual politician can sell us on why they should stay in office, what they have done lately to help matters (if any) and what they will promise to do, if reelected. So the idea is to begin with them being replaced, unless they can prove why they should stay, not the mindset of should we vote them out, assume they are out, why should they get the job back.

the Comprehensive Immigration Law is a Must! Because we can't have real border & National security with 12 Million Persons living illegally & 6 Millions with temporary status pending to become residents. Because we can t sent back 12 Million illegals Because we can t have 12 million under class people with no right & no ID, Because those 12 Million illegal want to pay taxes, insurances have access to better rental or buy foreclosed homes & want to share the American Dream & be part of it by raising themselves up with America Because we can t have 12 million persons with no driver license, no papers, no insurance Because we can t have 12 million illegal under pay & enslaved because living in fear with no freedom & no right for 12 million illegal should not be part of the American way Because President Obama made a promise to Pass Comprehensive Immigration Law & Amnesty within his first 100 days & we are still waiting for his words to be kept

Social Security income was never taxed until the Clinton Administration. This was not part of the plan when Babyboomers paid into this program their whole lives. With the drastic crash of the economy, we need to remove taxes from Social Security income.

The presence of the Kirkbride building has generous economic worth. Give time, opportunities can flourish within this building through reuse and redevelopment. Rather than believing that the Kirkbride will hamper economic growth, consider it a critical element in making it happen. We're urging elected officials to request an extension of the Minnesota State grant dollars for the Kirkbride building in Fergus Falls.

The Birth Certificate Truth which currently manifest as a form of loans with the US Goverment of the 50 States. I am Starting a Petition to received our birth right back!

When Reagan (GOD of GOP) was talked into reforming the tax code early in his administration, they lowered the top tax bracket from 50% to 35% but got rid of as many loop holes as they could to offset the lower rate of revenue. It didn't work, I believe Reagan ended up signing onto 7 tax increases during the rest of his term in order to help balance the budget. Even he realized "trickle down" was not working. But compared to today, a 35% top tax bracket is far more than what the top tier of the 1% pay in taxes. Especially if we removed most of the loop holes and deductions. Most of which the middle class can't take advantage of. All of the loop holes that were eliminated during Reagan's tax reform have been put back in over the years and then some. Which is why Mitt only pays 14% in taxes on millions. If the Democrats introduced a bill to return to 1980's "Reagan" tax reform it would be dicey for the Republicans to disparage the bill since it would be honoring their hero and savior. Not to mention going back to the tax code rate of 30 years ago. How could they not sign that bill and still call themselves a Reagan Republican?

Modifying our Banking System: It is mathematically impossible for the United States to solve the financial catastrophe we find ourselves in without dramatically modifying our banking system. We cannot tax our way out of the problem nor "cut" (spending) our way out of it nor borrow our way out of it. The reason, as understood by Benjamin Franklin and other "founding fathers" is that with our system, there is always more money owed back than there is in existence and since the only source for new money coming into the system under our current banking scheme is a loan which is a debt that carries an interest burden, it is not possible to not go deeper into debt. About the banking system we are now operating under, Franklin said that collectively, it represents an impossible contract which cannot be fulfilled. He is right. We have to go back to what our constitution says at Article I, Section 8 [5] - Congress shall have power to "Coin money (and) regulate the value thereof..." The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 purported to change this constitutional congressional mandate although our constitution was never amended to reflect that change. The Federal Reserve Bank (the Fed) is a secret cartel of large private banks that creates our money and regulates its value contradictory to the provisions of our constitution. The entire banking system, including the Fed, mainly utilizes "fractional reserve lending", compound interest and the bonding process to transfer as much of the meager accumulated wealth of the 99+% at the bottom into the pockets of the less than 1% at the top as fast as they can, thereby enslaving all those below the less than 1% at the top. We have to go back to congress creating our money and regulating the value of it and our government spending that money directly into the economy (for education, roads, ports, health care for all, social security etc.) without borrowing any of it at interest. It's as simple as that and the only way out of our economic problems. You see, eliminating the monetary inflation generated by our "private" banking system by the three main methods I outlined above would automatically also eliminate price inflation. Our economy would stabilize and we would move toward full employment, foreclosures would virtually be eliminated, cities and states could slip back into the black and out of the red, taxes in all jurisdictions could be lowered and the list of benefits goes on and on. This will not be easy and those at the top that created this system to benefit themselves will fight to the death to keep it in place. They have most of congress and the courts in their pockets and we therefore have to take the decision to institute a change out of the hands of the congress and the courts and circulate a constitutional amendment to eliminate current banking practices, specifically prohibiting the federal bonding process, fractional reserve lending and compound interest. Short of doing this, we are doomed.

Please support this petition because Deldrick Withers has been wrongfully jailed due to someone taking his identity.

The US must accelerate its use of renewable energy and reduce its dependence on fossil fuels. Consuming fossil fuels causes global warming and makes our country dependent on unstable foreign governments for its energy supply thereby reducing our global security.

Are you fed up with a Congress that can't seem to work together to solve the urgent problems of our time ? Me too. It's time more voters acknowledge they have been co-opted into voting for candidates whose agendas are actually not in their own self interests . We MUST restore the Democrats to a majority in both houses of Congress. STOP ELECTING REPUBLICAN OBSTRUCTIONISTS .

We need a new party, simple. The Republicans and Democrats are in gridlock. If the Tea Party can do it, so can we.

A petition to stop businesses from deducting entertainment expense from their income tax, claiming it's a cost of business. Often, CEos and their wives use this perk to entertain themselves rather than customers. The IRS can't police this. People should sign this because businesses are able to reduce their tax bill, and then the public has to pay more taxes to make up for the taxes businesses avoid.
