Your signature will strengthen our resolve, giving us a strong foundation on which to stand and fight together for what is important.

Discussion with Virgin Gorda Community to work towards finding solutions for our water woes.

In response to the Trump administration’s immigration agenda, the ACLU has launched a “Freedom Cities” campaign and outlined nine “model” state and local law enforcement policies and rules which—if adopted in “Freedom Cities” throughout the nation—will protect our families and our neighbors’ families. The Greenpoint People Power chapter will meet with local law enforcement to discuss these nine policies. Defend our friends, families and neighbors from Trump’s mass deportation agenda: #1) The Judicial Warrant Rule: Brooklyn officials shall require a judicial warrant prior to detaining an individual or in any manner prolonging the detention of an individual at the request of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or Customs and Border Protection (CBP). #2) No Facilitation Rule: Brooklyn officials shall not arrest, detain, or transport an individual solely on the basis of an immigration detainer or other administrative document issued by ICE or CBP, without a judicial warrant. #3) Defined Access/Interview Rule: Unless acting pursuant to a court order or a legitimate law enforcement purpose that is unrelated to the enforcement of a civil immigration law, no Brooklyn official shall permit ICE or CBP agents access to Brooklyn facilities or any person in Brooklyn custody for investigative interviews or other investigative purposes. #4) Clear Identification Rule: To the extent ICE or CBP has been granted access to Brooklyn facilities, individuals with whom ICE or CBP engages will be notified that they are speaking with ICE or CBP, and ICE or CBP agents shall be required to wear duty jackets and make their badges visible at all times while in Brooklyn facilities. Protect our friends, families and neighbors’ privacy from the Trump administration: #5) Don’t Ask Rule: Brooklyn officials shall not inquire into the immigration or citizenship status of an individual, except where the inquiry relates to a legitimate law enforcement purpose that is unrelated to the enforcement of a civil immigration law, or where required by state or federal law to verify eligibility for a benefit, service, or license conditioned on verification of certain status. #6) Privacy Protection Rule: No Brooklyn official shall voluntarily release personally identifiable data or information to ICE or CBP regarding an inmate’s custody status, release date or home address, or information that may be used to ascertain an individual’s religion, ethnicity or race, unless for a law enforcement purpose unrelated to the enforcement of a civil immigration law. #7) Discriminatory Surveillance Prohibition Rule: No Brooklyn agency or official shall authorize or engage in the human or technological surveillance of a person or group based solely or primarily upon a person or group’s actual or perceived religion, ethnicity, race, or immigration status. Help our friends, families and neighbors get redress when abuses and mistakes occur: #8) Redress Rule: Any person who alleges a violation of this policy may file a written complaint for investigation with the city or state oversight entity. Help ensure our friends, families, and neighbors are protected from discrimination: #9) Fair and Impartial Policing Rule: No Brooklyn official shall interrogate, arrest, detain or take other law enforcement action against an individual based upon that individual’s perceived race, national origin, religion, language, or immigration status, unless such personal characteristics have been included in timely, relevant, credible information from a reliable source, linking a specific individual to a particular criminal event/activity. Final Note: The Trump Administration has asserted, falsely, that if localities do not help advance Trump’s mass deportation agenda, they are violating federal law. The following rule, which is the only applicable federal law in this area, would help ensure your city, county or town establishes its clear intent not to violate federal law. While not a necessary addition, this rule may be a useful complement to the above policies. 1373 Rule: Under 8 U.S.C. § 1373 and 8 U.S.C. § 1644, federal law prohibits Brooklyn officials from imposing limits on maintaining, exchanging, sending, or receiving information regarding citizenship and immigration status with any Federal, State, or local government entity. Nothing in Brooklyn policies is intended to violate 8 U.S.C. § 1373 and 8 U.S.C. § 1644.

In North Carolina, we have been hit very hard. Currently in the state there are 3 students that we know of who have been deported and 7 who are currently in Stewart Detention Center in Lumpkin, GA. These young men have been denied due process, and we are pleading that they are granted the necessary steps that will ensure they remain safe and sound in the United States. Yefri Bertin Sorto Hernandez, who is 19 years old (A# 206-766-187), was detained on his way to the bus stop by ICE officers on January 27, 2016, in Charlotte, NC. He is currently waiting for his Stay or Removal to be accepted. Yefri left El Salvador due to fear from gang activity. He has been separated from his mother for 13 years. Wildin David Guillen Acosta, 19 years old (A#206-799-049), was detained on his way to school. He was knocked unconscious by ICE officers who picked him up on January 28, 2016. His mother sent for him after various threats from gangs. A judge has denied his stay or removal on 3/18/2016. Pedro Arturo Salmeron, an 18-year-old ( A#206-794-982), was detained on his way to work with his father on January 26, 2016. Pedro currently has been denied a stay or removal but has a pending asylum case. Pedro was forced to leave El Salvador after receiving multiple threats by gangs. Bilmer Araeli Pujoy Juarez, an 18-year-old (A# 202-129-863), was detained on his way to work with his father on January 29, 2016. He has a stay or removal that is pending and has been granted a motion to reopen by Judge Holmes, yet ICE refuses to release him. Bilmer fled Guatemala due to threats from gangs, of which he has proof. He was significantly hurt by ICE and has severe sleep apnea. Santos Geovany Padilla-Guzman is an 18-year-old (A# 208-268-389) who was detained on his way to work on February 11, 2016. He has a pending asylum case with USCIS in Texas that was received on 3/11/16 and a motion to reopen with BIA pending, which was received on 3/11/16. He was forced to leave after his cousin was murdered by MS 13 gang members. These are just some of the few stories of the young men who are in danger of not only deportation but death if sent back to their home countries. Besides the 5 young men listed, there are also 2 more: Josue Alexander Soriano Cortez (A# 206-731-549) and Edwin Yonatan Alarez-Galvez (A#202-076-383). The undersigned ask the Department of Homeland security to stop the deportation of these students: Yefri Bertin Sorto Hernandez (A# 206-766-187), Wildin David Guillen Acosta (A# 206-799-049), Pedro Arturo Salmeron ( A# 206-794-982), Bilmer Araeli Pujoy Juarez (A# 202-129-863), Santos Geovany Padilla-Guzman (A# 208-268-389), Josue Alexander Soriano Cortez (A# 206-731-549), Edwin Yonatan Alarez-Galvez (A# 202-076-383). These students are low priority and should not be persecuted by ICE in the manner in which they currently are. If sent back, they will most likely face death due to the prominent gang activity in their home countries. Please Make a Call and Sign the petition to stop the deportation of students! Call Secretary Jeh Johnson: 202-282-8000 Call DC ICE @ (202) 732-3000 or (202) 732-3100 Sample Script: I am calling to urge ICE to stop the Deportation of Yefri Bertin Sorto Hernandez (A# 206-766-187), Wildin David Guillen Acosta (A# 206-799-049), Pedro Arturo Salmeron (A# 206-794-982), Bilmer Araeli Pujoy Juarez (A# 202-129-863), Santos Geovany Padilla-Guzman (A# 208-268-389), Josue Alexander Soriano Cortez (A# 206-731-549) and Edwin Yonatan Alarez-Galvez (A# 202-076-383). These students are low priority and should not be persecuted by ICE in the manner in which they currently are. If sent back, they will most likely face death due to the prominent gang activity in their countries. Thank you.

The 2016 election has been dominated by candidates who are promising to do the work of the American people. Candidates claim to want to make America great, revolutionize politics, be the peoples' champion. With such a focus on people and progress, more and more American people are being pulled into the political process and are expressing disdain, distrust, and disgust with the way the government operates. The government operates to serve itself and people in all levels of politics live in an isolated bubble that prevents them from understanding real hardship and pain and prevents them from sitting down to compromise and get things done. While much attention has been placed on the Presidential race, reforming the way Congress does business is even more critical than the woman or man who will be our country's next leader. Congress makes the laws. Congress is the body of people that we elect to represent our communities. They owe us explanations and must always be held accountable. Congress, however, is broken. The sad truth is that it is so broken that it no longer pretends to do the will of the people, and often devolves into make-believe partisan bickering that is merely a distraction from real issues, real challenges, and very real corruption. Members of Congress are out of touch with the American people, intentionally. They do not represent us. They don't try to represent us. They've stopped acting as though the care about representing us, unless it is for a thirty-second sound-clip, popular hashtag, or stunt to gain media attention. They represent special interest groups, wealthy campaign contributors, corporations, lobbyists, and other immoral and dishonest groups that seek to make Congress a playground of the wealthy and the well-connected. They make fools of us when they strike deals behind closed doors in exchange for campaign donations, kickbacks, or special favors. WE make fools of ourselves when we let them do this. Whenever we fight over important issues without sitting back and demanding compromise, they win. Whenever we bicker over really emotional and really complex crises and insult our fellow citizens, they win. Whenever we sit back and say we distrust Congress more than any other group, but vote in the VERY SAME Representatives and Senators, they win. Whenever we focus on pettiness and let the media distract us from their blatant disregard for our views and our sovereignty as the people of the United States, they win. It is time to impose sensible term limits on members of the House of Representatives and the Senate. Not by law and not by asking. It is time that we DEMAND that members of Congress enshrine this in the Constitution. This petition calls on members of Congress to vote on and approve a Constitutional Amendment to impose term limits on members of the House and the Senate. This petition also calls on the two major parties (the Democrats and Republicans), the two growing minor parties (the Libertarians and the Green Party) and all other political parties to make amending the Constitution to impose term limits a part of their platforms that they adopt at their conventions and support on the campaign trail. Finally, this petition calls on all major party and minor party nominees and "presumptive nominees" to add term limits to their individual campaign platforms. This petition recommends the following: Imposing a five-term (10-year) limit on Members of the House of Representatives and; Imposing a two-term (12-year) limit on Members of the Senate. This petition recommends the following language be used as working-text for the proposed Constitutional Amendment: Section 1. No person shall be eligible to serve more than 8 years in the United States House of Representatives. Section 2. No person shall be eligible to serve more than 12 years in the United States Senate. Section 3. No term of any person serving in the United States House of Representatives or the United States Senate, at the time of the ratification of this Amendment, shall be taken into account. Section 4. The Congress shall have the power to reduce the number of years that a Person is eligible to serve in the United States House of Representatives or the United States Senate. Section 5. The Congress may not increase the number of years that a Person is eligible to serve in the United States House of Representatives or the United States Senate." You, the Members of Congress, owe use this. Because WE, the People of the United States, are sovereign. We are tired of your corruption, inefficiency, your scandals, and your inability to do your jobs. WE the People demand change.

As a federal agency, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has a duty to respect the law and respect the people of the United States of America. As citizens and residents who have experienced and witnessed the FERC decision-making process and have been impacted by its biased outcomes; we find FERC wanting in these obligations. FERC Chairman Kevin McIntyre announced on December 21, 2017, that FERC would be reviewing both its 1999 Pipeline Policy Statement and its policies on certification of natural gas pipelines. And yet, over three months later, we have no idea how, when or even if this review is actually proceeding and to what degree, if any, the public will be given the opportunity to be involved. Given that we are unaware of when or how the public can and should give input into this review process, we are taking the liberty of ensuring our voices are heard by volunteering our demands with regards to this review process and the reforms that must come out of it. 1) It is Time that FERC Implement a Pipeline Review Process that Prioritizes the Public Interest Over the Goals of the Pipeline Industry. This Means Giving Proper Priority (i.e. Highest Priority) to People, the Environment, Protection Against Climate Changing Emissions and Protection of Future Generations in Both the FERC Review and Decision-making. 2) Review and Reform of FERC’s Pipeline Review Process Must Begin with a Series of No Less than Six Public Hearings Held in Affected Communities, and 90 Days for Written Comment, So FERC Can Learn How the Current Process Is Failing and the Public Interest Reforms that Are Needed. 3) FERC Must Mandate a Legitimate Demonstration of “Need” for a Proposed Pipeline/Infrastructure Project that is Verified by Unbiased Experts, Is Not Comprised of Contracts to Supply Gas to the Pipeline Company Itself or Any of Its Business Counterparts, and Is Not/Can Not be Supplied by Renewable or Existing Energy Sources. 4) There Must Be a Prohibition on FERC Issuing (a) Certificates of Public Convenience or Necessity, (b) Notices to Proceed with Any Aspect of Construction, Including Tree Felling, and/or (c) Approval for Exercise of Eminent Domain, Until Such Time as an Infrastructure Project Has Secured All State, Federal and/or Regional Permits, Dockets and/or Approvals. This Includes a Prohibition on Conditional FERC Certificates. 5) FERC Must End Its Strategic Practice of Failing to Affirmatively Grant or Deny Rehearing Requests, But Instead Issue Responses that Provide FERC More Time for Consideration (i.e. a Tolling Order), and as a Result Prevent Pipeline Challengers from Bringing a Legal Challenge in the Courts while FERC Grants the Pipeline Company the Power of Eminent Domain and Approval for Construction. 6) FERC Must Prohibit the Practice of Hiring Third-Party Consultants to Assist in the FERC Review Process who Have Any Business Contracts (Past, Present or Future) with a Pipeline Company Seeking FERC Approval, and Must Prohibit FERC Commissioners or FERC Staff from Working on or Deciding upon Any Pipeline or Infrastructure Project in which They or a Family Member Have a Direct or Indirect Financial or Employment Interest. 7) FERC Must End the Practice of Using Segmentation, Allowing Pipeline Companies to Break Up Projects into Smaller Segments in Order to Undermine a Full and Accurate Review of Community and Environmental Impacts. 8) FERC Must Commit to a Full and Fair Implementation of the National Environmental Policy Act, Including Full and Fair Evaluation of Climate Change Impacts; Induced Fracking/Drilling Operations; Costs of Construction, Operation and Maintenance (not Just Benefits); Health and Safety Impacts; the Full Array of Community, Business and Environmental Impacts that Will Result; and that All Inaccurate, Missing, False or Misleading Data and/or Information Identified by FERC and/or Public Commenters Are Fully, Completely and Accurately Addressed. 9) FERC Must End the Practice of Allowing Pipeline Companies to Secure a 14% Rate of Return on Equity on All New Pipeline Projects In Order to Ensure the Public Does Not Bear the Burden of Flawed Projects and to Ensure that FERC Does not Incentivize Inappropriate and/or Unwarranted Pipeline/Infrastructure Construction. In conclusion, if FERC is serious about wanting a full, fair, and properly informed decision-making process for fracked gas pipelines, compressors, LNG export, storage and related infrastructure projects, it will commit to the process and substantive asks laid out in this letter.

To the Fulton County Schools Operational Planning Department: Keep our children safe by redistricting according to North Fulton Redistricting - Elementary School Alternative Plan B! As your constituents and taxpayers, we ask for your strong consideration in implementing PLAN B as this is the only one of your three proposed plans that will NOT harm our children and neighborhoods! We, the undersigned, residents and/or owners (1) would prefer that no Fulton County School elementary school redistricting occur for our neighborhoods, however if it must, (2) are in support of North Fulton Redistricting-Elementary School Alternative Plan B for the Study Areas 328A (Whitehall), 341A (Darien Park), 3060 (Hawkins Cove), 3340 (Windsor Forest/Bent Grass, New Haven Walk), 3380 (Grand Veridian, Chatham, Windsor), and (3) oppose Elementary School Alternative Plan A and Plan C. We urge the members of the Fulton County Schools Operational Planning Department to utilize Elementary School Alternative Plan B when preparing the next redistricting map for the Forum on December 10, 2014 and for the final map recommendation to the Fulton County Board of Education for the following reasons that you are mandated to consider: Geographic Proximity - *Our children's safety is of utmost concern. *Plan B places the children in our neighborhoods at their closest elementary school, avoiding the extended commute times which are up to triple the distance for some of our neighborhoods under the other plans. *Plan B's close proximity allows students to walk to and from school, if necessary, and is also imperative for any emergency dismissals and medical concerns. *Plan B's shorter drive lowers the risk of accidents. *Close Geographic Proximity (a known factor) should outweigh Projected Enrollment (a speculative and uncertain factor) which will be altered by the many new residential developments on the horizon due to Roswell's new Unified Development Code which allows higher residential densities. Traffic Patterns - *Plan B is significantly safer for our children in terms of traffic/transportation. *Plan B avoids traffic patterns that would place our elementary school children in some of the most dangerous intersections in Roswell, namely a) Mansell Road and Highway 9 (Alpharetta Highway), b) Holcomb Bridge Road and Highway 9 (Alpharetta Highway), and c) Crabapple Road and Highway 92. The below article discusses these highways and although it is from 2012, the situation has worsened, not improved. http://www.whistleblowerlawyerblawg.com/2012/11/dangerous-intersections-in-roswell-georgia.html *Traffic patterns are negatively impacted by traffic accidents. Plan B is favorable with a significantly lower traffic accident rate and less traffic congestion than Plan A and Plan C and avoids the crossing of any major highways. A lengthier drive increases the risk of accidents. * Plan B preserves our short travel time which for many of us is less than 5 minutes. We strongly disagree with Plan A & Plan C which require our students to cross major highways with significantly greater traffic congestion and travel time; and we would be adding to and subject to the gridlock that already exists at those major intersections. Instructional Capacity: *Plan B best aligns Projected Enrollment with Classrooms Needed based on analysis of the Fulton County Schools - Round 2 Handout (Corrected) for 2018-2019 for the schools where our neighborhoods would be districted under Plan B (Hembree Springs and Sweet Apple). Plan A and Plan C provide a poorer alignment thereby creating a greater Classroom excess/shortage. School Feeder Alignment - *Plan B is consistent with this objective which places the children in our neighborhoods into elementary schools that feed into the same middle school, building a stronger community. We also consider neighborhood groupings to be extremely important to our neighborhood's families. Plan B maximizes the value of neighborhoods that currently share community children's activities, relationships, resources, and sports. For the above reasons and as mandated by Fulton County School's criteria, we must respectfully insist that our neighborhoods (if redistricted) are only redistricted under Plan B. Sincerely, Concerned students, neighbors, parents, grandparents, taxpayers and constituents.

In the wake on significant concerns surrounding the screening of infected person(s) traveling from Liberia, more stringent controls be in place during this Public Health Emergency of International Concern (WHO, August, 2014). The Ebola virus has reached unprecedented epidemic proportions in West Africa, and has been joined by another unrelated concurrent outbreak in the Congo. Despite recognizing the combined effort of the global health communities to prevent this current epidemic of the Ebola virus reaching pandemic status, the disease was unfortunately brought here to the United States by an individual infected with the Zaire strain of the Ebola virus who legally entered our country from the West African nation of Liberia, where Ebola is rampant threatening health, peace, stability, and the economic prosperity of the citizens of the United States of America. We understand many of our own citizens of the United States of America and military personnel have a right to return following deployment to these outbreak areas, we must ensure they also must return in such a manner to minimize any potential transmission, in accordance with the international standard as well as community Standard of Care here in the United States of America. WE AGREE with GENERAL RODRIGUEZ that, "Prior to redeploying service members back home, we will screen and identify anyone who faced an elevated risk of exposure. We take all necessary steps to minimize any potential transmission, in accordance with the international standards that our medical professionals have given us." WE AGREE with HOMELAND SECURITY LISA MONACO that: "The most effective way to go about controlling this is to prevent those individuals from getting on a plane in the first place." WE AGREE Infectious disease outbreaks are a national security priority. WE AGREE the escalating Ebola epidemic in West Africa highlights the necessity to establish global capacity to prevent, detect and rapidly respond to biological threats of any origin." WE AGREE they threaten peace, stability, and the economic prosperity of our world; the consequences of not acting are unfathomable. WE AGREE to stand together with our West Africa partners to end the Ebola epidemic, and to communicate with clarity we need to accelerate our global capacity to prevent, detect, and rapidly respond to disease threats like Ebola and other infectious disease outbreaks – before they turn into epidemics." WE AGREE that a biological threat such as Ebola anywhere is a biological threat everywhere, and it is the world’s responsibility to respond as one. SUMMARILY, WE, THE CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA HEREBY REQUEST that all agencies of the United States Government to be redirected to take all appropriate measures within their authority to carry out the following, but not limited to: 1. Immediate ban on all incoming commercial passenger aircraft, ambulatory person(s) crossing international borders into the United States of America, sea travel, and other means within the construct of this PETITION who may possess, contain, or be infected by Potentially Infectious Material and Persons originating from a country or state experiencing an outbreak of the Ebola virus; and 2. US government provide for a designated Landing Zone (LZ) military hospital facility appropriately designed, staffed, and constructed to accept incoming authorized persons traveling from those areas within the last 30-45 days for monitoring no less than 21 days; and 3. Not restrict humanitarian relief agencies, US military personnel, and authorized person(s) involved in the delivery of necessary aid and assistance traveling to and returning home from the affected countries to the extent limited to (1) above.

THE BRITISH COLUMBIA RESOLUTION ON THE PROLIFERATION OF ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION. THE HAZARD: Whereas the population of the Province of British Columbia is not currently protected by effective and authoritative guidelines or regulations governing exposure to involuntary or incidental, non-thermal, electromagnetic radiation in their homes and public places, the British Columbia, Canada, organization - Citizens for Safe Technology - in collaboration with the undersigned, hereby passes the following Resolution. THE RESOLUTION: 1 Guidelines and regulations to protect the population of British Columbia from the effects of all forms, frequencies and intensities of electromagnetic radiation must be immediately instituted. 2 The guidelines and regulations mentioned in Article 1 must be based on the findings of independent, non industry-affiliated studies which include, but are not limited to, research into the effects of low-level, non-thermal pulsed radiation; (1) 3 The Provincial Health Officer for British Columbia must publicly acknowledge and immediately invoke the Precautionary Principle (2) with regards to the protection of the population of the Province of British Columbia against the known and/or potential harmful acute and chronic effects of exposure to all forms, frequencies and intensities of electromagnetic radiation; and 4 Direct and immediate action must be taken to halt the proliferation of, and subsequently reduce, the non-consensual exposure of children and pregnant mothers to electromagnetic radiation in all areas of society, most notably through the removal of wireless internet connections in schools, libraries, and other public places. THE EVIDENCE: 1 The British Columbia Provincial Health Officer has, to date, relied on the guidelines offered by Health Canada in Safety Code 6 to assert that exposure levels within the province are within acceptable levels. However, Health Canada acknowledges (3) that these guidelines are based purely on thermal effects and are intended to apply solely to federally regulated sites. Consequently, they have questionable application in the protection of the general public since they have no authority or application in the protection of the population of the Province in their homes or public places. Furthermore, strong scientific evidence shows that the levels of (thermal) radiation that Health Canada deems safe for the adult population do not provide adequate protection for children. (4) The Health Canada guidelines state in the preamble: ‘Safety limits in this code apply to all individuals working at, or visiting, federally regulated sites. These guidelines may also be adopted by the provinces, industry or other interested parties.’ WorkSafe BC, which regulates the welfare of employees, has adopted Health Canada's Safety Code 6 but as previously noted, this is neither intended nor adapted to provide protection to the public, and considers only the thermal effects of electromagnetic radiation. 2 The Radiofrequency Toolkit for Environmental Health Practitioners, published in 2013 by The British Columbia Centre for Disease Control and commissioned by the British Columbia Provincial Medical Officer, acknowledges that there is conclusive evidence of biological damage caused by exposure to EMR. (Section 10 - Mobile Phones, Radiofrequency Waves, and Male Infertility). Consequently, through inaction, the British Columbia Provincial Medical Officer is placing in jeopardy the health of the population of the Province and, in particular, the health and mental development of children who numerous studies and reports identify as being at increased risk caused by exposure to Electromagnetic Radiation. (4) (31) (39) (41) (44) (45) (46) (50) (51) (53) (56) (57) (59) (60) (61) (62) The Radiofrequency Toolkit for Environmental Health Practitioners states: • ‘A large increase in induced fields for children’s bone marrow was attributed to its higher conductivity compared with that of adults.’ • ‘For the same emitted power, children and fetuses experience higher SAR.’ (5) • ‘Whole body exposure at frequencies in the range of 80 to 180 MHz and 1–4 GHz to ICNIRP reference exposure levels may expose children and small persons (shorter than 1.3 m) to above acceptable ICNIRP SAR levels.’ (6) • ‘Children may potentially be at greater risk for adverse health outcomes resulting from exposure to RF.’ • ‘Because the brain is particularly vulnerable to environmental insults during fetal development, childhood and adolescence, there is a need for further studies to ascertain whether there are effects during their developmental stages.’ • 'Unlike the mixed findings found in occupational health studies of radar EMF exposures, the epidemiological studies of men assessed for infertility were consistent in demonstrating decreased sperm motility associated with increased use of mobile phones. • 'Apart from the known thermal effects of RF, oxidative stress due to increased Reactive Ox...

The average family is worth $77,500. The average Congressman's net worth is $13,000,000. The average senator's net worth is $6,000,000. How are the average people of this country supposed to believe that these elected "public servants" are really representing the average American family when their ways of life and lifestyles are so drastically different. Petition Letter Greetings, I just signed the following petition addressed to: American people, President, media. ---------------- Return Congrees to public servants The average family is worth $77,500. The average Congressman's net worth is $13,000,000. The average senator's net worth is $6,000,000. How are the average people of this country supposed to believe that these elected "public servants" are really representing the average American family when their ways of life and lifestyles are so drastically different. Congressmen and Senators are out of touch with the normal American family. I would like to change, not the process of election, but how our "public servants" operate in Washington. There are things that should outrage the general public that no one ever thinks about and should consider urging the politicians to change. After all, the elected officials are there for us, the constituents, the people.They are not supposed to be there to further their own interests, gain post political careers, or get rich. Unfortunately, a lot of the elected officials are there to do just that. They are legacies, getting payoffs, given jobs after they retire as a political payoff, special interest rates on things we as people can't get, gifts, cash, etc. Elected officials are essentially public servants, there to do the work of the people. This is not happening and it shouldn't be allowed to go any further. I propose that we change the occupation itself and turn it into what the Founders intended. 1.As public servants they should receive a fair specified set salary just like the rest of us do. They should receive a cost of living increase yearly and should have raises voted on by constituents or after so many years of service.They shall not be allowed to hold a vote to give themselves a raise. 2.All persons elected to Congress or Senate should be required to give up any and all stocks in corporations or industries#not 401k accounts#, board of directorships in all corporations or industries, and any official posts whether assigned or elected in any corporation or industry in order to dedicate themselves completely, without encumberance, and not be beholden to any public or private entities other than to their constituents. They shall not be able to benefit from insider information for their own gain without sanction or formal charges as would happen to regular citizens accused or convicted of insider trading offenses. 3.The general public should be allowed access to the same benefits as Congressmen/women and Senators have such as lower cost medical care and lower cost dental care.They should have access to the same IRA or 401K accounts as taxpayers but no lifetime pensions until 20 yrs service as is the norm for other companies and industries. 4.Each separate Congressman/woman and Senator should have a website with a page where any and all votes and lobby money/gifts/perks are disclosed to the public/constituents so the people have a better view and idea of how the people they elect decide on issues that affect local constituents as well as us all in the USA. 5. All other constitutional requirements on the Legislative branch shall remain the same. I feel these changes would make a dramatic difference in the people who both decide to run for office in America as well as change how Congresspeople and Senators do their jobs in our country. Maybe we would get fewer career politicians who want to become rich off the system and find people who actually care about getting the country turned around and going in the right direction, know what civil discourse and compromise is, and can work to get bills worked out and passed for the good of the people without wasting time and money. We need people who are determined to serve the people and do so not in spite of them. If you are tired of the status quo and possibly make a difference in how the country progresses, please sign the petition and spread the word. We can make a difference!
