Regulations for Underground Injection Control (UIC) Program in ArizonaI, the undersigned hereby petition the Underground Injection Control (UIC) Program administrators or committee members of Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) to look at and adhere to the proposed guidelines and regulations for the safe monitoring of “produced water” and brine/saline water injection in the state of Arizona. Data continues to reveal the potential hazards and ensuing guidelines for safer practices set up for safeguarding the health and well-being of the average citizen, his/her land, livestock, the surrounding areas and environment. It is paramount that this be taken into serious consideration. The potential harm to the inhabitants and the environment from the practice of injection of “produced water” is complex and potentially very severe both in short and long term consequences. The knowledge of these potential hazards is continuing to become evident and guidelines and safer practices to ensure the health and well-being of the average citizen, his/her land, livestock, the surrounding areas and environment need to be taken into serious consideration. We are submitting guidelines as a community to the UIC that must be implemented in the case that injection of “produced water” and brine/saline flowback is allowed. It is mandatory that the health, resources, land, and quality of life in Arizona is protected first and foremost. As a state agency we feel it is your primary responsibility to the people, to protect their health,well-being and future viability across the state. It is imperative that your agency first consider human safety and review the precedence set forth by other states in establishing their regulations as a result of the negative impacts upon the water, air, soils, climate change, health and social degradation resulting from hydraulic fracturing practices within the past 5-10 years. As a state agency we feel the first responsibility of this agency is to the people of Arizona, their health and well-being and future viability here in the state of Arizona. We ask that you consider safety first and look at what other experienced states are doing with their regulations as a lot of painful learning experiences have happened in the last 5-10 years. Our aquifers and water supply are a precious and life sustaining resource that cannot be replaced or renewed after damage and contamination occur. This is by no means a total or complete list of what needs to be included in state regulations but a start as we look at underground injection regulations in the state of Arizona with guidelines and monitoring by the UIC. We are requesting for you to implement the recommendations for the UIC listed below: • The burden of proof of any well water contamination be placed on the companies injecting “produced water” or stiff foam into the ground to ensure that well and drinking water is not contaminated. The company must pay for and obtain 3rd party testing on five separate sites within ½ mile of each proposed well site before the well is dug. Repeat testing of the same sites needs to be completed at three month intervals after the well is dug and activity has commenced, with the results disclosed to the company, UIC, the public and each well owner. This would help allow early identification of any contamination at these sites and allow appropriate measures to be taken at this time and prevent widespread and severe contamination. • Air and groundwater studies and testing must be paid for by the companies injecting “produced water” and/or brine/saline water before any drilling starts in a given area. Every three months repeat studies must be completed to monitor for any negative changes. This again would allow for early identification of any contamination at these sites and allow appropriate measures to be taken at this time and prevent widespread and severe contamination. A complete list of tests to be conducted must be further researched. Precedence has been set across the nation and resources are available on this subject. • ALL chemicals intended for underground injection purposes must be disclosed before any disposal begins. • Potential contamination of the surrounding areas to a wellhead need to be tested at 30 day intervals. • With this disclosure a ban on using hydrofluoric acid is requested as the toxicity and hazards have been extreme in other states. • If any contamination is found, drilling must stop immediately, a spill and contamination report must be filled out and report made to the UIC supervisor and posted online for the public to view. • The company will be responsible for ALL costs in cleaning up and any and all damages that result from this spill. This can be addressed further in the “Financial Assurance and Environmental Response Funds” section listed in the next bullet point of this document. • All companies must set up and maintain a “Financial Assurance and Environmental Response Fund” prior to any permits being issued to a comp...156 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Lisa Test

Sensible immigration proposalThis proposal was written by an immigration attorney in an effort to rectify the current humanitarian crisis at the border. He has practiced immigration law for many years. Please sign this to get congress to consider enacting these measures. Attorney: I think something like this would instantly relieve the pressure at the border, would allow for reasonable checking of individuals, would provide an orderly process to come to the U.S. on terms that benefit everyone, and gives a mechanism to remove problems. This would also greatly reduce the burdens on the Immigration Courts as well as the Circuit Courts of Appeals. CARE Act Central American Relief Establishment Act 1. The U.S. recognizes that the governments of El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala are unwilling or incapable of protecting their citizens from groups seeking to inflict violence on their people. 2. The U.S. recognizes that the economies of El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala are inadequate to provide adequate employment for those seeking to support themselves and their dependents. 3. Establish a visa category for those wanting to seek employment in the U.S. 4. The number of such visas will be capped at the unemployment rate in as determined by the Secretary of the Labor on an annual basis. 5. Such visas are for lawful temporary residence and will permit the individual and spouse and children to live and work in the U.S. for a period of seven years. Such status may be renewed every seven years. 6. At any time after ten years of temporary residence the person may apply for permanent residence under the normal terms and conditions set forth in INA 245. 7a. No temporary resident is eligible for any Federal means tested benefits except for emergency medical benefits. Receipt of federal benefits (other than emergency medical benefits) is a removable offense. 7b. Failure to file Federal tax returns disqualifies the person for status renewal and is a removable offense 7c. Temporary residents are subject to revocation of status and removal for violating INA 212 or INA 237 as pertaining to inadmissibility and removability. 8. No person who is part of a gang may be approved. 9. Past gang membership of at least 5 years prior requires a waiver at the discretion of the Secretary of State. 10. Any person in such status who is convicted of a felony is subject to removal. Such proceedings will be limited to consideration of the following: has the person been convicted; does the person have permanent resident or U.S. Citizen status. If convicted and not a LPR or USC, said person shall be ordered removed. 11. Any person in such status who is convicted of 1 or more misdemeanors ( this number could be increased or it could allow for an exemption to apply as is current law ) is subject to removal. However, such persons are eligible for voluntary departure. If the person has ten or more years of temporary residence, the person may also seek, adjustment of status, and/or cancellation of removal. Hardship for cancellation of removal may be to the person, spouse, children, or USC or LPR parents. 12. As an alternative to an economic temporary resident visa, individuals from El Salvador, Honduras, or Guatemala may seek Temporary Protected Status in the U.S. Such individuals must present themselves at a POE and declare that they are requesting TPS. 13. If the individual passes a credible fear interview, and is not inadmissible as a criminal or member of a criminal enterprise they will be admitted as TPS. 14. TPS will be recognized until such time as the Secretary of State, the Secretary of DHS, and the Secretary of Defense certify that the government of such a country is now in control of the groups inflicting violence and has been in control for a period of five years. Such certification must be presented to the House and Senate for concurrence of removing the TPS eligibility. 15. Any adult persons in TPS status who desire a permanent grant of protection must apply for asylum within two years of admission into TPS. Minors who enter with TPS must apply no later than age 23 16. Admission as TPS is an admission for INA purposes and the person may apply for adjustment under INA 245. 17. Any persons in TPS status may have their status revoked and be subject to removal for convictions. Such a person may apply for asylum or for cancellation of removal or for relief under the CAT. 18. Paragraph 7 as to benefits, tax returns, and INA 212 and INA 237 apply to TPS holders under this Act as well. 19. Paragraphs 8-9 apply to TPS holders under this Act as well. 20. There shall be no fee for asylum or TPS applicants. 21. There shall be a fee of $1,000 for the principal applicant and $200.00 for each derivative applicant for the economic temporary resident visa. 22. Derivative applicants may apply at the time of the principal or at any time after while the principal is in valid temporary resident status.866 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by Kathy Hall

SAVE THE CULVER BOULEVARD MEDIAN PARK - AGAIN!SAVE THE CULVER BOULEVARD MEDIAN PARK - AGAIN! We the undersigned, PETITION Culver City Council: To reject the approval of the Culver Boulevard Realignment Project P-460 and the recently combined Urban Runoff Infiltration and Retention Project pending further study of safety and other impacts on the community, and the adoption of community oriented and responsive design priorities. The current proposal for the separately funded Urban Runoff Infiltration has a much more serious impact on the community than the original realignment project. It should not be allowed to go forward on the basis of prior public inputs to the original realignment project alone. >We request that the city treat these combined projects as a new proposal and that any required public meetings be reset with October 3, 2017 as the first presentation. The current proposal calls for bulldozing the existing Median Park and its 140+ trees, replacing them with 70 saplings.This completely ignores the outrage of the community three years ago to the threatened loss of the trees. In a recent public document the current unique median park built in the 90's is dismissively referred to as a " an abandoned railway right of way" making it sound so much easier to just bulldoze at whim. >We request that its high time the median be officially declared a park. Perhaps then it will also be easier for it to be treated as such The Urban Runoff Infiltration and Retention Project The current plan does not address the impacts of the actual functioning of the proposed dirty storm water treatment facility. This would include filtration, accumulation of toxic waste on site, removal or renewal of filter media and toxics, the nature and frequency of ongoing maintenance, the locations and impact regarding noise or fumes of the pumping station, as well as potential leaching into adjoining neighborhood soils,etc . The current proposal is to completely use the entire area of the relocated median and to excavate it to a depth of 50 feet. This is directly above the water table and much deeper than any of the other projects in other local cities that are part of the proposed Ballona creek Watershed Management Program. Non of the other projects are located directly adjacent to residential homes. The foundations of adjacent residences along Little Culver would be approximately 45 feet from a 50 foot deep basin holding a huge amount of water. The idea is to infiltrate a lot of that water into the soil. What will this do to soil around our homes? Does this have the potential to be a swamp? Will we lose good soil drainage under our gardens? How earthquake-proof can these deep basins be built so that they don't fail in earthquakes releasing the stored water, and requiring a destructive and expensive rebuild ? >We are seriously concerned that the locally much wetter soil and the 50 foot deep tank would present a very different seismic profile with increased liquification effects in earthquakes causing much more damage than otherwise to adjacent homes. > The current proposal tries to use the entire footprint of the relocated median. Can a park actually be built on top of a concrete tank? Will trees actually thrive in the 5 to 15 feet of fill indicated in the current plan? >In CC's RFP # 1656 P.6 item 5 , it was implied that the useful life of the facility might only be 20 years. Are we to expect a major rebuild every 20 years? The proposed project appears to be very over-scaled for the location in an attempt to force fit a need to place. The current runoff water Infiltration plan is more than doubled in scale, and impact, by including LA water into the project. >We request that the tentative participation of LA water in the project be dropped and further reductions in scale be considered that would integrate better into the community and the park design. >We ask the City Council to not go ahead until the true impacts on the community are fully addressed. A full and appropriate environmental impact statement may be needed to properly get answers, not the "short form" version in the current proposal. If and when the above concerns are addressed and the project in some form continues: The Park Rebuild >We request the replacement of the berm in the first block from Sepulveda to Commonwealth. The 1990's removal of that berm and the large increase in noise resulted in serious property appraisal reduction for those along Little Culver. >We request that berm, low park walls, dense foliage ( as currently in place) be given top priority in the redesign of the park in relation to minimizing the noise and visual impact of Culver Blvd traffic especially as the road will be moved even closer to Little Culver and adjacent homes. A berm should be continued at Harter and Huron Avenues not leveled as in the current proposal. >We request that the lighting of the boulevard and little Culver be the current old style neighborhood globe lights and not the high...160 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Steve Levinson

Demand GOP State Officials & Trump Stop Obstructing the Recounts!We, the undersigned, demand that state officials in Michigan and Wisconsin, and President-Elect Trump, his campaign mangers and SuperPACS, stop their partisan, obstructionist games and immediately offer full co-operation with the ballot recount efforts. The job of the Secretary of State is to insure fair and honest elections, and the job of the Attorney General is to protect the public interest. The use of these positions to achieve partisan aims, including stalling recounts until after the electoral college has met, or obstructing a full and transparent hand-recount, is an abuse of power and must immediately stop. We demand that the President-elect call off his SuperPACs’ and campaign managers’ attempts at blocking the recounts through the courts. The job of all Presidential candidates, is to win the election on the merits of their platform, not by cheating or miscount of votes. Such behavior calls into suspicion the prior activities of the GOP candidate, his GOP network, PACs, and staff. If they truly believe that they won this election fair and square, why would they so strenuously object to recounts? And we further demand, in all jurisdictions, in all recount states (currently FL, MI, PA and WI), hand-recounts, with observers, transparent tabulation, and high-level anti-tamper precautions, and the right to have computer forensics teams examine any and all electronics used in the recounts, until satisfied they are tabulating accurately. To these ends, we demand, in particular: In Michigan That (Republican) Attorney General, Bill Schuette cease his suit seeking to stop the recount. His contentions that, “Michigan voters rejected Stein’s candidacy by massive margins, but her refusal to accept that state-verified result, poses an expensive and risky threat to hard-working taxpayers and abuses the intent of Michigan law…laws that protect the integrity of our elections. It is inexcusable for Stein to put Michigan voters at risk of paying millions and potentially losing their voice in the Electoral College in the process” does not hold water. ⁃ “Michigan voters rejected Stein’s candidacy by massive margins” — Stein’s team, with the assistance of several election integrity attorneys and statisticians, has evidence of vote manipulation which affected Stein’s vote count. This is a reasonable concern for the Green Party candidate, and legitimately makes her and “aggrieved party” even if a recount would not put her in the oval office. As of October 31st, Stein’s polls indicated that she was up to 5%, in terms of national support, yet during the election, her vote totals were mysteriously down around 1%. 5% of the national vote is an important marker for any political party, as it qualifies a party for federal funding in the next presidential race and also secures ballot access in a number of states. Thus, Stein’s interest in a recount is perfectly legitimate. Additionally, any candidate in a race has the right to petition for a recount when the numbers are either very close (in Michigan, Trump exceeded Clinton by under 11,000) or statistically suspect. Ensuring the integrity of our elections is extremely consistent with the Green Party mission and campaign platform. The AG’s office has no right to deny this prerogative to the Green Party candidate on the basis that it would not result in her becoming president. ⁃ “…her refusal to accept that state-verified result…” — Numerous election integrity experts have warned that electronic voting machines and tabulators are not reliable, whether because of aging, known security vulnerabilities, or the now common practice (known as “fractionalizing”) of building code into the centralized vote tabulators, which allows individuals to pre-set the vote totals to any desired percentage, and then converts votes into fractions to achieve the pre-determined outcome. There were also an unprecedentedly high number (87,810 — almost twice that of previous elections) of MI ballots cast with — supposedly — no presidential candidate chosen. This, again, could affect the Green Party’s national support percentage, as well as the outcome of the election. In light of all of these, blindly accepting state-verified results would be extremely foolish. ⁃ “…poses an expensive and risky threat to hard-working taxpayers…” — Risky threat of what, exactly? That voters might find out their votes were manipulated? or that their election officials can’t be trusted? That would be risky indeed — but not for the hard-working tax-payers, who generally want to know that their votes do, in fact, count. As for cost: the purpose of filing fees is cover the cost of a recount. The Green Party, and the thousands of Americans who donated to the recount fund in an effort to protect democracy, are picking up a huge chunk of the the tab for the recount, not the people of Michigan. In addition to which, ensuring that justice and democracy are served is never a waste of money...68 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Erica Bolliger

Stop the 103 Evergreen @ Camp St Rezoning and building proposal in Ward 3The proposal: to have 103 evergreen street @ Camp Street rezoned form R3 to R4 without communication to abutters or neighbors. Build a 17,989 sq ft , 4+ story building on a 8,216 sq ft lot. Consisting of 58 “micro units” most being about 200 sq ft. Studios, and about 300 sq ft 1 bedrooms. With no public transportation and no parking other than the very limited street parking. EMERGENCY MEETING WITH CITY COUNCIL Monday March 4th 6pm Hope high school auditorium Recent, silent plans to rezone the lot located at 103 Evergreen Street Providence have come to lights. There is a single family on the 8,216sq ft lot that the developer purchased dirt cheap and has purposely left to become dilapidated and an eyesore. That he only trims the overgrowth when the city threatens to fine him. He never has the sidewalks cleared when it snows. He doesn’t care about this neighborhood. He has brought nothing to this neighborhood. I think we can all agree the neighborhood is all for housing but this is a greedy, wrong way to do it. This will kill the character and aesthetic of the small, thickly populated area. There is no parking to accommodate these people. Even if only half of them have vehicles where will they park? In 200 sqft micro apartment there will be no space to store a bike. There is no public transportation. RIPTA eliminated the 49 route in 2014. I spoke with them on 2/27 and there is no intent to bring it back. The sidewalks are a mess and unsafe to walk on already with up to a 20 year wait for the public works to repair them. . This monstrosity doesn’t make sense, takes up every inch of the lot and removes pretty much all greenery. The 5 small trees they are willing to plant on the sidewalk won’t cut it for me. What about safety? Can a fire truck safely protect a property of this magnitude? The infrastructure in this neighborhood simply cannot support this type of building and traffic. The congestion with increased amount of foot traffic. The increased amount of abandoned scooters and bikes. The increased in Amazon, ups and fedex delivery trucks. Also what about all of the trash for 58+ people? This is a small lot that currently houses a dilapidated 3 bedroom, 2 bath house. To imagine increasing that to 63 bedrooms, 58 bathrooms over 58 units monstrosity is just disgusting. The proposed renderings are so misleading the fact that they don’t even properly show the area it will be forced Into. It paints a picture like this is a wide open lot that has all this access around it. It’s 0.18 acres that abuts a beautiful triple decker and a beautiful row of townhouses. They are trying to squeeze 17,989sq ft of building onto a 8,216 sq ft lot. The proposal mentions “ STORMWATER MANAGMENT STATEMENT: GUTTERS & DOWNSPOUTS TO BE INSTALLED AT PERIMETER OF STRUCTURE & DISCHARGED AT VEGETATIVE AREAS ON SITE. SITE TO BE GRADED TO RETAIN STORMWATER ON SITE TO AVOID RUNOFF. “ Now I’m sure a lot of you are aware of the flooding issues we endured this past year. I don’t think the 5 small trees are going to cut it to sustain the rainwater and run off. The only place the water will have is into surround neighbors yards and basements. And speaking of basements, radon! Radon is cancer causing element naturally found in abundance in the ground of providence! You plan to squeeze how many people into basement living quarters and make them vulnerable to this dangerous radioactive gas? Without any mention of mitigation or testing?. With over 750+ units in his pipeline, and a whole union of unhappy tenants, this “slumlord”of a developer needs to be stopped, held accountable and made to put a responsible and reasonably sized building and housing to fit the lot and aesthetic of the neighborhood. Plain and simple: this developer got the lot for dirt cheap and wants to maximize HIS profit. He isn’t doing this for the neighborhood. He isn’t doing this for the people who need housing. This will probably be top dollar a month for 200 square foot closets with toilets and a hot top plate at best. Don’t be fooled. The city is vulnerable and there isn’t enough housing. This developer is suckling on that vulnerability. He isn’t trying to help it. Don’t be fooled. If he was trying to help he would have informed the neighbors directly affected by this. He wouldn’t have tried to be sneaky and get away with this. Please support this cause and help secure the proper zoning for this lot! P.s to put it into perspective: A jail cell is 100 sq ft. Average hotel room in the US is 300 sq ft. A majority of these proposed unit are under 250 sq ft.445 of 500 SignaturesCreated by kelli marcantonio

Entitlements & the Fiscal CliffGeorge Will has described government as a "geyser of entitlements." We the People demand that Senators and Representatives act on at least one of the following before any cuts to or changes of Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, or SNAP can occur: 1. Corporate Entitlements: Companies like Abbott Laboratories, Boeing Co., Motorola Solutions and Motorola Mobility, GE and Boeing don't pay federal taxes: Congress must establish a corporate tax rate commensurate with individual tax rates and must enforce the collection of those taxes from all corporations. Corporations that do not pay, must be fined in the amount that would be their tax burden. 2. Corporate Entitlements, part 2: Corporations seem to support the single payer health care system as evidenced by their continued outsourcing of jobs to countries that have a single payer system. Similar to the provision in the Affordable Care Act, for every outsourced job, the corporation will be fined $3000. 3. Congressional Entitlements: Roughly 62% of bankruptcies occur because of medical bills and the vast majority of people who eventually declare bankruptcy had healthcare coverage. Congress, which enjoys the gold standard of healthcare benefits, can neither understand nor act on concerns appropriately. No Senator or Representative will enjoy health care benefits better than the average American. This should be easy to establish by simply ending their current coverage and allowing them to participate in programs just like ours for which they pay the same rates we do. 4. Congressional Entitlements, part 2: Retired Senators and Representatives should receive social security -- rather than pensions -- equal to the average American's benefit. It may seem unfair to change their retirement benefits after they have been promised those pensions for so much of their careers, but as they have been so clearly stating, these are dire times and everyone must accept the changes that are necessary. 5. Congressional entitlements, part 3. Senators and Representatives should be paid salaries equal to the average Americans but no more. They will understand how best to govern when they are actually governing for themselves, too. 6. Speculation Entitlements: Speculators don't need lower tax rates as encouragement to speculate with other people's money. They must be taxed at the rate they are earning no matter how that money is earned.8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lori Sadowski

Enact Universal background checks on all gun salesIn the United States a license is required to drive a car. Drivers must pass a test. They need insurance and their car must be licensed and registered. Divers can lose their right to drive a car if they do not drive responsibly. Individuals can also lose their right to vote if they are convicted of a felony. There are no similar uniform requirements for gun ownership. 40% of guns purchased in the United States are purchased without a background check. The arguments for and against gun control are complicated and difficult. Some people argue for no restrictions. Others want a complete ban or a ban on certain types of guns . Some people want training to be required for owners. One type of legislation however, that should not be controversial is the question of background checks. Just as we acknowledge that driving a car and voting are rights that can be lost, we must acknowledge that the right to own a gun also comes with certain responsibilities. There is no reason that the NRA or any pro gun organization should be against background checks for gun ownership. A responsible gun owner should understand that it is in his or her self-interest to insure that other gun owners are responsible. In the aftermath of the tragedy at Sandy Hook , Connecticut, people are demanding that our elected leaders take action. There are already several online petitions being circulated. This petition goes a step further. It describes a specific plan of action: Universal Background Checks. Back ground checks do not solve the problem. They don’t make it impossible for a criminal to get a gun. And they are not, hopefully, the only legislation that will be enacted. But they are a good first step. They give law enforcements officials a strong tool to work with. They do not violate or impinge on any ones second amendment right to own a gun. They simply acknowledge that with rights come responsibilities. We demand that Congress immediately enact legislation that 1. Requires a waiting period on all gun purchases 2. Bans online gun sales 3. Requires back ground checks on all gun sales 4. Prohibits persons convicted of a felony from owning a gun 5. Defines certain types of mental disorders that will disqualify an individual from owning a gun 6. Registers serial numbers and owner information for all guns in a national data base, including guns that have already been purchased66 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Steve Schechetman

Support Full Enactment of the Second AmendmentWe support the 2nd amendment to the U.S.Constitution and believe that it should be fully activated immediately. That is, a well-regulated militia should be established and regulated for the safety of our citizens. Regulation is easily accomplished using a licensing procedure similar to the procedure and requirements for acquiring a state driver's license: 1) Age limit. 2) Two exams: one written, one operational; including a moderate assessment of the physical ability of the operator. 3) Photo identification on the operator's license. 4) Proof of identity to acquire operator's license. 5) Proof of insurance for both operator and firearm. 6) Annual taxation of each firearm via licensing body, operator must carry proof of taxes paid (registration.) 7) Licensing restricted to certain firearm types. (Licenses not to be issued for tanks or armored military vehicles. And similarly, they should not be issued for military multiple-round arms.) 8) Possession of arms not licensed to a militia member is punishable by long-term imprisonment. 9) Operator's license must be renewed every 4 years, with easily enforceable penalties for license violations. 10) Annual (or more frequent) appearance for training sessions is required to join the militia, including presentation of arms for inspection. Failure to complete regular training is a punishable violation. 11) All property owners and operators of businesses have the right to refuse entry to those bearing arms. 12) The distribution of any firearm or munitions to those who are not legally allowed to own such weaponry is a punishable offense. 13) The attempted purchase of firearms and munitions under false pretense is a punishable offense. 14) Attempting to obtain licensure under false pretense is a punishable offense. Violations might include, but might not be limited to: A. Not having the license on the person when openly or concealed carrying where that is permitted. B. Operating a gun while drinking. C. Operating a gun without a license. D. Operating a faulty, poorly maintained, or altered gun. E. Failure to have insurance for operator or gun. F. Accidental discharge, with or without injury. G. Accidental discharge resulting in the death of another person (this would be in addition to charges already related to accidental death, similar to charges related to auto accidents.) H. The use of any firearm in a threatening manner. We are looking forward to an active Second Amendment and a well-regulated militia.40 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Dale A. Ashauer

Congressional Reform Act of 2012Congressional Reform Act of 2012 Congress, in this document, refers to the elected members of the U. S. House of Representatives and the U. S. Senate. 1. Congress shall have no tenure or pension A Congressperson collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when their term(s) end. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work. 2. Former Congressional office holders shall not lobby Congress Former Congresspersons and Senators shall not lobby the U.S. Government nor shall they work as a consultant to any firm or individual that lobbies the U.S. Government for a period of 10 years following the end of their last day in office. 3. Congress shall participate in Social Security Congress will pay into Social Security like the average American citizen. All funds currently in the Congressional retirement fund will be transferred to the Social Security system immediately. Congress, from this day forward, pays into and, at age 62, may collect from Social Security. Social Security funds may not be used for any other purpose. If Congress wishes more security in their retirement, they may pay into any commercially available retirement plan at their own expense, just like the average American citizen. 4. Congress shall not raise their salary or improve their benefits. Congressional pay shall rise by the lower of CPI or 3%. Congressional benefits shall be equal to those of the average American citizen. 5. Congress shall provide individual health care for themselves. They will participate in the same health care system as the average American citizen. If Congress wishes to have health care they may purchase, out of their own income, a health care plan that works for them just like the average American citizen. Congressional health care, as we now know it, no longer exists. 6. Congress shall not pass any law affecting the American people that does not apply to Congress. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people. All contracts, past and present, that Congress has passed for the benefit of Congress are null and void effective 12/12/12. The American people did not make these contracts with Congress. Congress made all these contracts for themselves.403 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Thomas Crown
