Limit salaries for Congress and Senate to only while in officeCongressional and Senatorial representatives should collect salaries and benefits only while they are serving their elected term. No salary, health care benefit or pension should be paid to any non-current elected official or any official who is recalled, fired, or quits. Once the job ends, so does the money. Just like everybody else.83 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Beth Hatfield-Griffin

Civic Union ProposalOne of the chief arguments used as an argument against legalizing same sex marriage is that there exists a certain "sanctity" that will be lessened by recognizing same sex marriages as legally binding. I propose that all language used in the public forum regarding the union of two people in the eyes of the state should be called civil unions. This would mean that the term marriage is reserved solely for use by individuals and churches. This would mean that marriage licenses in all states would be civil union licenses and would make no reference to the gender of either member of the union.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mike Eddy

Finance Campaign Constitutional AmendmentThe destruction of our democracy can only be stopped if the majority of us make it clear that we demand a constitutional amendment prohibiting any person or entity from donating ANY money to a candidate's campaign (and that includes a millionaire candidate buying his own election). The recent Supreme Court decision (Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission) has now made corporations “persons” entitled to use their vast amounts of money to influence legislation that serves their needs and not necessarily those of the public. The 99% need to have a greater voice in what our elected officials are legislating and not the 1% who hold the majority of the wealth in this country. Simply passing a law, i.e. the McCain–Feingold Act, has shown that this is clearly not enough when the main provisions of the law can be eviscerated by a Court ruling. We must demand a Constitutional Amendment.32 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Henry T. Duncan, V

1% Of Defense to Education PetitionThat is the premise of this movement which seeks to take 1% of the budgets of various departments to support projects and initiatives targeting areas of society which are lacking including education, high education, social services, mental health, homelessness, etc. The targeted departments should be those which are highly funded and yet can survive with a minimal cut of no more than 1%. These departments should be so funded that %1 or a penny on the dollar shouldn’t cripple or adversely affect them (i.e. defense, foreign aid, entitlements, drug enforcement, etc).41 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jonathan Scott Carson
