The Issue

You may already be in office or you might be "just" elected. You probably think that now the election is over you can get down to business paying back your big donors and the special interests you owe favors to. YOU WOULD BE WRONG. Your job is to represent the people of the United States. That is your only job. If you are out of touch with your constituencies you will continue to ignore the issues raised in this petition. Obviously if these situations continue to exist and you cannot change them you have identified yourself as a person who lacks the political will to act in the best interests of the voting public. 

Regardless of whether the signers of this petition are Democrat or Republican you would have to live in a cave not to feel the genuine anger of the voting electorate.

You have 100 days to address these issues after you are sworn in and at that point if you haven't acted we are coming after you and you will be replaced in the next election. We will identify you, raise money, run ads and support a candidate who can remove you from your elected office. We aren't kidding.

These are not partisan issues these are human issues- American issues.

When the banking crisis occurred it impacted everyone but it directly impacted the generation that was about to retire. It destroyed careers, impacted wages during the highest earning period and destroyed or transferred the largest amount of wealth in history. We all know what happened. Many of those people were "forced or coaxed" out of the workplace and are trying to live on social security and small savings.

1. Raise the Social Security payout and raise the tax cap on Social Security. If the person is a widow raise it to a minimum living standard. One third of the homeless people in America are over 50 years old.

We all know that poor children cannot learn if they are hungry.

2. Want to explain why 20% of the children in America are living in poverty and are hungry enough to rely on school charity for nutrition? They are hungry now. What kind of an idiot thinks hunger is a teaching tool. These are American children and they need good nutrition.

The price gouging on prescribed drugs is out of control.

3. Why do Americans pay more than EVERYONE else in the world for the same drugs?

The previous tax cuts happened at the same time we failed to repair infrastructure. Everyone was hoping someone else would create good paying jobs and those workers would pay the gas taxes. Whoops!

4. Our infrastructure is falling apart and you are trying to link the repairs to a gasoline tax. The taxes that weren't paid because of artificially low taxes during periods when the infrastructure was being worn out are now due. The top 1% won the class war and ended up with the money. Congratulations. We need to tax the people who can afford to be taxed to hold the country together. At this point no one else has the money.

America needs to protect itself and its allies. Pay to play!

5. Going forward all wars will be shared sacrifice. As we go to war we will raise taxes up front, from the wealthy and international businesses to pay for the costs of the war- costs that start with the soldiers and their families. Again the people with the most to lose need to pay the most. There will be a tax deduction if your children actually serve in the war zone.

We have sold higher education to another generation of kids who will not live long enough to pay back the loans.

6. By running a National Lottery devoted to paying off the current debt owed for Higher education we will free up the earnings of the younger generation to get our consumer economy moving and growing again. We can't afford for them to be in debtor's prison any more. Every dime raised goes to lower the debt currently owed on a prorated basis.

We continue to have polluters protected by bankruptcy and other legal loopholes.

7. Drinking water is a resource that belongs to the American citizens that live in the area it comes from. Any fines levied are to be directly paid to those people and should compensate them adequately for any loss they experience.

The banks have actually learned nothing and are ethically compromised and are too big to manage.

8. CEO's that sign off on falsified annual earnings reports or businesses that are involved in criminal activity have legal and financial consequences. They have the cash flow and personnel to audit and are paid enough to ensure this does not happen. If the banks or corporations are fined the damaged customers are to get the money- not the government.

Crime is punished disproportionately in the economic classes of America.

9. Our prison population is too large and the "for profit' prisons are too lucrative. This sector of the economy is killing the working poor and needs to be balanced more evenly between economic strata. White collar criminals should expect to spend time in prison with poor people if they commit crimes that impact the public.

Most people know many local police officers and aren't happy about the direction and role of law enforcement.

10. Local police forces do not need the surplus weaponry of an occupying army. National policing standards need to adequately finance a "serve and protect" standard. If police are out gunned then the guns need to be restricted.

Hiding tax capital when you should be creating jobs is unAmerican and you shouldn't expect favors from people who pay the taxes while you hide the money.

11. The repatriation of off shore corporate profits can be repatriated at no tax cost whatsoever in exchange for the creation of high paying,middle class jobs that have benefits and a solid retirement plan. No other remedy should be entertained. It should never be forgotten that off shore enterprises weakened on shore labor success. The focus on creating middle class jobs with a path to retirement will be the only way to avoid taxes. The three card monte game is OVER. Retirement is now not within reach of the American worker. 

Corporations are not people.

12. Corporations are not people and money is not free speech. Citizens are not corporate entities. Do whatever it takes to fix this flawed ruling.

You only have 100 days and then the American people will find a way to put you out of office.

Sign the petition if you think this is not too much to ask and post it to your elected official.

If you are a PAC, special interest group or a corporation and decide to actively oppose these changes it will be arranged to have the names of the people leading that effort, and their local communities brought deliberately into the public spotlight. If you are wealthy and believe paying your actual fair share is too expensive, if you wait too much longer to rebuild the middle class, the costs might REALLY escalate. Revisit your concept of excessive greed and the civic contract. Your chance to save reweave the fabric of America is upon you! Time to GOOGLE "Inclusive Capitalism" use more actions than words though!

Do not make the mistake of thinking that the palpable ANGER of the American voter has somehow been appeased. If you want to keep your job, get to work for the people of America or deal the the consequences of thinking there is no pressure. Unless you effect change or come out publicly in favor of these issues then after 100 days expect to see a grass roots movement pick and then begin to support your successor. When election day rolls around this petition will be the grass roots support you can count on, or it will quietly elect your opponent. Tick-Tock!
