While the Congress passes no bills, saves no money and talks about tax cuts in programs that help American citizens, they are doing NOTHING to cut waste, fraud, and mismanagement in government agencies. In many cases, they are protecting their power base. In many cases, they form oversight committees who have no real power to enforce the rules they are supposed to oversee. THIS HAS TO STOP!

After seeing a news story today about law makers who lease very expensive automobiles at tax payer expence, I believe we need to be heard. I believe that they should leases out of their bloated salaries. I also believe they should have medicare as their health insurance. It should be set up with the same quide lines as our medicare.

Congress passes bills that have so many riders and add ons that congressman and women don't even read them. Even if they like the main law they may vote against it because of something that has been added on.If they voted on one thing at time voters will know how they REALLY stand on issues.

The problem with our political system is that the elected officials view it as a life-time endeavor. Party affiliation does not matter, both parties take advantage of the taxpaying public. Term Limits would prevent not only their attitude toward voters but since they would know they would rejoin the public, their voting record would be more directed to taxpayers. This should affect pensions, their paying taxes including Social Security as well.

This petition asks the federal government to stand firm on employment rules that assure unions of jobs on federal projects

Walgreen's has teamed up with Donald Trump and The Celebrity Apprentice to promote more healthy steps in 2012. Yes, the same Donald Trump who falsely accused the president on numerous occassions of made-up issues such as Obama not being a citizen of the United States (birther issue), Obama not qualified to get into an Ivy League school, and Obama starting a war with Iran to win re-election. Is this the image Walgreen's wants to promote? Is this a company you want to do business with?

We are proposing a petition that would haul government officials from making on-going budget cuts on colleges and universities in America. Our research has shown that the budget cuts have worsened the situation of saving money rather then making it better. By making classes bigger due to the high amount of professors being laid off, a lot of students have not received the best education that they deserve. We believe that the best investment a human-being can make is to invest in their education because this is a tool that has no replacement. Everyone should have the right to a strong education without having to worry about the monetary payments that come with it.

Poverty affects not only those living abroad, but those living in the United States as well. The elimination of poverty and hunger needs to be a focus of U.S. foreign and domestic policy. With support from the House of Representatives, a Global Marshall Plan would demonstrate the United States’ commitment and dedication towards poverty reduction in the United States and abroad. This bill holds the potential of transforming development assistance in a way that would significantly reduce poverty worldwide.

My petition is in response to the underfunding of youth activities and the closing of programs to mentor today's youth. This trend has been going on since the regan era and needs to be reversed. Boycott congress and local government to break the cycle.

Help give women a voice by supporting the International Women’s Freedom Act. This bill will help strengthen United States advocacy on behalf of individuals persecuted and denied their rights in foreign countries on account of gender. The promotion of women’s rights will help provide economic, multilateral, military, and export assistance to those who are targets of severe women’s rights violations.

The Microenterprise Empowerment and Job Creation Act would provide assistance for the purpose of expanding the availability of credit, savings, and other financial services to microfinance and microenterprise clients. These individuals are those living in poverty that otherwise are unable to access such services through the private sector. Through such assistance, these individuals will be able to increase access to such services through education, training, and mentoring.
