A Petition of Injunction To Remove Political Leaders From Congress!!
Apparently you don't have a firm grasp on the underlying problem.
But thanks for your input. 
I'm glad you think it's good enough, but the bigger problem is that those who are already in office are abusing their oath to citizens and obviously the elections, which DO NOT consist of the majority of citizen(less than half of the citizens are registered voters). The majority is a combination of powerful and wealthy who used their money to push candidates thru office.
There are marketing teams of people who manipulate, say and/or show American citizens, skewed facts in a light that makes many cheer for them or support their position.
It's just spin, after spin, after spin and I do not see how that is going to fix anything in this country.
That's not true, and has always been a FALSE theory at best.
If people choose to NOT vote for a Candidate, they STILL reserve the right to have a say in what goes on, because they are still American citizens, regardless of what you or any one else for that matter.
This is precisely what is NOT happening.
Yes, it is, but it would also be helpful if "BUSINESS" took it's hand out of the Politicians backsides and stop controlling them, just because they give money to their campaign.
Like Robin Williams said in the movie "Man Of The Year", when a politician receive huge financial contributions from some activist group or another.....Whose "interest" is the politician really looking out for? It's completely unknown.
Haha, yes! But lots of Americans want a revolution when their representative wasn't elected. It's the adult version of a temper tantrum.
I don't because obviously you're missing the point of getting new people in office. The ELECTION process is a joke.
The election process isn't working and hasn't been working, or never has worked. You can pick your choice.
Btw- Voting for the LESSOR of two evils isn't how you're suppose to vote.I've been involved in several elections, as a reporter not as a participant. My job was to monitor the count. Someone in my family participated in a vote re-count last year.
It's true, there is corruption, but I've never seen even a whiff of favoritism myself. Folks I've dealt with are very proud that they are impartial.
Just a personal experience

So, what are you trying to say?

The majority...is less than HALF of the Nation? How do I know that? Because, less than half of the Nation is actually registered to vote.
So, what "majority" are you talking about?
I see the "majority", as the rich or wealthy, who are at fault, already for ruining this country.
The concensus is for "WE THE PEOPLE", that means more people need to become more active and this is what I am looking for!
Good luck Ray!

Politicians need to be held accountable for the travesty called government. It's been ineffective and inefficient for far too long.
Anything this administration has already done can be undone. Not to mention, the POWER of the People, any Law(s) or Legislation can be removed or repealed.

Sorry, I don't wave any flag of liberal or conversative. I'm not a political activist. I have no political agenda, except to fight and defend the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights and support of the Declaration of Independence, which this country was founded on.
I don't agree with labels. So, my view is Independant.
How that jives with you? I don't know.
I have ONE problem with your unifying the pledge to GOD. It is to remain SEPARATED from Government. ALL of it is to remain outside of Government.
No! Absolutely not.
Religion is to remain OUTSIDE of the schools too. There is a reason why "religion" is only taught as a topic and "religious" teachings are done in separate schools.
Sorry, don't agree on that single point. America isn't a religious Country, it's a people country. Freedom to practice whatever religion is already granted. It's not to be promoted by the Government, as a singular united notion.
The downfall of America isn't because of a lack of faith in GOD, it is a lack of knowledge and understanding.
I just think that one nation under God has a better ring to it
It is alright for us to disagree on that point. I am sure we will disagree on others as well.
I am still backing this plan of yours and believe that we are on the same page.I would rather not have other students saying "GOD" in class. It could be more a disruption, than needed, especially in today's society.
That's just my way of keeping it out of schools. It's important that "GOD" be a choice and remain that way, without other influences, besides the already standing ones in place.
That is fine and that is YOUR right
I just want to restore it to where it was. I am not a religious person by any means. I believe in the separation of church and state. I was just hoping that my unborn children could say the same pledge that I did when the time comes.I find it interesting that only a couple of people are actually here talking about this.
Maybe that is the OUTRAGE that really needs to be brought to the attention of the American people.
Unbelieveable!Yes, but before "action" can be taken, American citizens MUST understand what's happening, so they don't get soaked up or engulfed in the massive spin Government and Business, is going to drum up, to deafen the sound of our rising voice.
It is expected. I already see it coming, but when 200 Million citizens or more are in agreement that CHANGE has to come about.
You want to see Government move to quash the actions it sees coming? Guarantee, every politician in office, will be begging for their job and that's how they are supppose to get elected.If you can find ONE honest one among the group? You're a better judge of character than I am. Then again, I have NEVER voted for a politician I didn't think deserved my vote. So, I guess my Integrity is pretty good, considering what I am now talking about doing!
I said, I have never voted for a politician, I didn't think deserved my vote.
I didn't say that I have never voted.Apparently, you continue to read to fast and not read everything. The easiest solution to fix this problem is to wipe out all existing Leadership in the Congressional Office.
This will allow for other Politicians, to step up and claim one spot. A run-off election between two separate politicians, can be done for each seat. This will demote out all politicians and put new fresh faces in place.
The only people who will not be replaced is The President of the United States, His Cabinet Staff and the Joint Chiefs of the Military and Defense.
All the rest of the Politicians who hold a seat in Congress are bounced out, by new fresh elections.
And, btw - I am STILL an American born and raised. My vote counts, just like yours does.
You have no right telling me that I have to vote for a politician, if I don't believe in any of the candidates. That's simply foolish and stupid. The power of the people is in their power to vote. That means, if you cannot back a candidate, then you reserve your right to not vote for them. If you keep your power in your hands, then the politicians have to change their tactics?
That's what CHANGE is all about!You can see it that way if you like, but does it make any sense to continue with what's been done and not try something different.
I'm not saying that doing nothing is fine, because it isn't. But, like everyone else has so nicely put it....ONE PERSON isn't a voice of the Nation. It is one vote, which doesn't make that big of a difference, when people are voting for the lessor of two evils?
That's what's been happening over the years. I understand what you're saying, but remember, one measley little vote does nothing against the majority, unless the majority makes ONE single vote to do something about it.
No problem.
No is saying to BLINDLY kick people out of office. There is no blindful action. We all have our eyes and we each can see the damage done by those already in office. Again, I said it was about not knowing how is dirty? The fact that people are accessories after the fact, which is something any person can be convicted on, much less arrested for, yet politicians have wealth on their side to prevent themselves from getting into major trouble is sad.
And, that's what this is all about.....defending our RIGHTS to a efficient and effective government run by the people - for the people.
If you think I am trying to take your rights away, then you misunderstand my words.
Hmmm......? Anyone else got something to say? Come on people, this is OUR lives here?
Are you not going to stand up for yourself?
Are you not going to stand up for other people's rights?
Let's get real!Do realize- the NEW Majority, created by the Petition is to consist of ALL registered voters, to the tune of 300 Million people. The line has been crossed, according to the Declaration of Independence, between a Government run by the people and Government domination over the citizenry.
Enough IS Enough!Okay, I'll pick this up tomorrow - whoever stops in to post, I'll check on later. It is 2:25 am and time for bed.
Good night Holly and everyone else in this forum.Good night Cags! I'm heading off too!
Cags,
I hear ya. Most candidates are a disappointment. Researching their past performance has not helped as they have a chameleon quality. It does need to change HollyGood night
To keep the separation of 'church' and State is quite simple. Have honest people, who use their brain to make decisions, instead of the emotional faith.
This isn't a religious argument and I really don't want to get into a religious argument. The "Majority", as it stands right now are already stripping people of their individual rights and property as is. Bring religious people, who make decisions not based on factual evidence, but on emotions is completely useless and isn't a benefit to society.
By eliminating the "majority" mob rule mentality, by getting MORE of the Nation involved in the running of this Country. That's how we protect them, as well, as their rights.
I am FED UP with other people trying to tell the rest HOW to live their life, when in reality, they have no right to tell anyone how to live life.
I personally don't care if they want to get married. They want to get married, that is their choice. I have not a religious inclination that stops them. My point is that "marriage" is only associated with those of a religious point of view. Marriage is also seen by others, but fail to see the religious connection to it. So, duh, I thought it would be obvious, since religious people are against GAYS from marrying.
I really don't care if they want to get married. It is their life that they are completely wasting and not mine.
I have no problem with our political system, and adding another party would create diversity in the ranks of politicians.
But, myself- I am not a political activist and don't intend on becoming one. My simple nature is to help people strive for a better life and unfortunately, in America, Government change is necessary step for bettering the society as a whole.
you are most welcome, tony...spread the word !

* Legend has it that English only defeated German by a single vote to become the official language of the United States, in a 1795 Congressional debate.
Have a nice day as well, Cagsil. And, you want to have an attitude like that, then you are welcome to it, because obviously you have nothing to add to the substance of the conversation, but then again, that is your choice. Either way, have a great day.
I am not closing because people are disagreeing me or what I have said. There are a lot of people who are agreeing with me.
I am closing the forum, because I have chosen to take a different path to obtain my objectives and this forum was simply a test for resistance.
Do you feel better now, that I have told WHY I want the forum closed?
when both sides are useless. Doh! 
only appropriate
