We only have 2 problems in America.
1. We don't know the Constitution.
2. We let others make our decisions for us.
These 10 words are arguably the most important in the entire constitution.
"and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."
This is the safety valve our founding fathers put in the Constitution!
This is how 'We the People" hold our politicians accountable and steer the direction of our country!

Petition Legislators to close down the IRS and repeal the 16th amendment.
Petition to the United States Congress and President of the United States to Close the Internal Revenue Service, Repeal the 16th Amendment, and Reform Federal Taxation
We, the undersigned citizens of the United States, urgently demand the closure of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the repeal of the 16th Amendment, and a restructuring of federal taxation to empower states and ensure transparency.
The 16th Amendment, enacted in 1913, and the IRS impose a complex and burdensome income tax system that penalizes productivity and burdens Americans with excessive compliance costs. We believe states should control all tax collection to better serve local needs, and the federal government must justify its spending before receiving funds.
We therefore demand that Congress and the President:
1. Repeal the 16th Amendment to eliminate the federal income tax.
2. Close the Internal Revenue Service permanently.
3. Require states to collect and retain all taxes, distributing funds to the federal government only after the federal government fully discloses its budget for public review and approval.
4. Develop alternative federal revenue systems that are simple, fair, and transparent.
These actions will restore state authority, ensure federal accountability, and promote economic freedom for all Americans.
Petition Legislators to Secure our borders and remove ALL illegals from the US.
Petition to the United States Congress and President of the United States for the Removal of Illegal Immigrants and to Secure the Nation’s Borders
We, the undersigned citizens of the United States, call upon the United States Congress and the President to take urgent action to remove illegal immigrants from the United States and secure our nation’s borders.
Illegal immigration strains public resources, undermines our laws, and raises concerns about public safety. Unsecured borders enable unlawful entry, threatening national sovereignty. We demand the following actions:
1. Enforce Immigration Laws: Identify, detain, and deport individuals residing in the United States illegally, prioritizing those who threaten public safety.
2. Secure the Borders: Build and maintain border walls, deploy advanced surveillance technology, and increase Border Patrol presence to prevent illegal crossings.
3. Strengthen Legal Immigration: Reform immigration processes to prioritize American citizens’ interests while ensuring fair, lawful pathways.
By acting swiftly, you will uphold the rule of law and protect the safety and prosperity of our nation.
Petition Legislators to close the U.S. Board of Education
Petition to the United States Congress and President of the United States to Close the U.S. Department of Education and Eliminate Federal Influence in Schools
We, the undersigned citizens of the United States, urgently demand the closure of the U.S. Department of Education and the complete removal of federal influence over our nation’s schools.
Since its establishment in 1979, the U.S. Department of Education has imposed centralized policies, regulations, and mandates that undermine local control, parental rights, and the diverse needs of students. Federal involvement in education has led to bureaucratic overreach, one-size-fits-all standards, and excessive administrative costs, diverting resources from classrooms. We believe education is best managed by states, local communities, and families, who are most attuned to their students’ needs.
We therefore demand that Congress and the President:
1. Pass legislation to permanently close the U.S. Department of Education.
2. Eliminate all federal regulations, mandates, and funding programs that influence or control state and local education systems.
3. Return full authority over education to states and local communities, ensuring schools are free from federal oversight or interference.
By taking these actions, our leaders will restore local control, empower parents, and prioritize the education of our children over federal bureaucracy.
Petition Legislators to impose Term Limits on Congress
Petition to the United States Congress and President of the United States to Enact Term Limits for the House of Representatives and Repeal the 17th Amendment
We, the undersigned citizens of the United States, urgently demand the enactment of term limits for members of the United States House of Representatives and the repeal of the 17th Amendment to restore state legislature appointment of U.S. Senators, promoting accountability, state sovereignty, and effective representation in our government.
Career politicians in the House, enabled by unlimited terms, often prioritize personal gain, special interests, and partisan agendas over the needs of the American people. Similarly, the 17th Amendment, ratified in 1913, shifted the election of Senators to popular vote, diminishing the states’ role in the federal government and undermining the balance of power envisioned by the Constitution’s framers. Restoring state legislature appointment of Senators will ensure states have a direct voice in Congress, while term limits for the House will foster fresh leadership and reduce entrenched power.
We therefore demand that Congress and the President:
1. Propose and pass a constitutional amendment to establish term limits for House members, restricting them to a maximum of three two-year terms (six years), applicable to both consecutive and non-consecutive terms.
2. Propose and pass a constitutional amendment to repeal the 17th Amendment, returning the power to appoint U.S. Senators to state legislatures, as provided in the original Constitution.
3. Act swiftly to advance these amendments through Congress and the state ratification process.
By implementing these reforms, our leaders will strengthen state representation, renew democratic accountability, and honor the will of the American people.
Petition Legislators for Prison Reform
Petition: [Local/State Government, Department of Corrections, or Relevant Authority]
We, the undersigned, call for the implementation of a bold, common-sense program that tackles two pressing issues: America’s waste crisis and the need for effective prisoner rehabilitation. Our communities deserve innovative solutions that save taxpayer dollars, reduce landfill waste, and give inmates the skills to rebuild their lives.
Our Proposal:
1. Recycling Initiative: Engage willing prisoners to sort recyclable materials at local landfills. These materials—plastic, metal, paper—will be sold on the open market, generating revenue to fund the program and reduce costs for taxpayers. The EPA reports that we recycle only 32% of our waste; this program will tap into billions of dollars’ worth of discarded resources.
2. Agricultural and Culinary Training: Train inmates in agriculture, animal husbandry, and culinary skills by having them raise and prepare their own food. Surplus produce, eggs, and meat will be sold to local markets or businesses, just like any farm, further offsetting costs and teaching real-world skills.
3. Rehabilitation Focus: Vocational training cuts recidivism, as shown by studies from the National Institute of Justice. By equipping inmates with marketable skills, we reduce reoffending, strengthen communities, and lower long-term incarceration costs.
Why This Matters:
• Economic Benefits: Selling recycled materials and surplus food creates a self-sustaining program, easing the burden on taxpayers.
• Environmental Impact: Diverting waste from landfills keeps our communities cleaner and greener.
• Social Good: Giving inmates a chance to learn, work, and contribute fosters accountability and hope, breaking the cycle of crime.
Our Commitment:
We understand the need for safety, oversight, and smart implementation. This program will be voluntary, securely managed, and phased in with clear protocols to ensure success. Partnerships with local businesses and markets will drive its economic viability.
We Demand Action:
We urge our leaders to pilot this program, harnessing wasted resources to create opportunity. Let’s stop burying potential—in our landfills and in our prisons. Sign this petition to support a future where we waste less, save more, and build stronger communities together.
