America will get a new president and a new era can begin.
There is much that needs to change, but instead of waiting for our
elected officials to act, we believe that the American public should speak up
and determine the direction our country will take.
We are a nation of
different ideas and beliefs, but there are a few priorities that we believe
most Americans share, and they should be the first order of business when
George W. Bush leaves office.
We call on the new President and the new Congress to follow the
leadership of the American people and:
á
End the misguided and unjustified war in Iraq.
á
Make healthcare available for all Americans, regardless of their
employment status or ability to pay.
á
Create a sensible and just energy policy that responds to the
challenge of global warming and puts America on a road to independence from
fossil fuel.
Add
your name and voice to our demand for change.
(Only
your first name and state will appear online.)

| # | First Name | State | What else would you like to change? |
|---|---|---|---|
| 151 | james V McCormick | MO | i want to see Cheney impeached or prosecuted and left with a subsidized minimum wage and whatever health care he can negotiate on that--after our country seizes all his holdings gained from this fraudulent war. His security protection should be any Iraq soldiers out of a job exiled in Dafur. jmc |
| 152 | Michael | FL | Reformed electoral process that prevents one-party rule from abusing its power as what happened from 2003-2007. |
| 153 | Robert | RI | The new president should work with congress to bring war crimes charges against Bush, Cheney and company and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law. |
| 154 | Chris | IL | |
| 155 | Robert | NE | What will all you leftist do when Bush is gone and there is a Democrat in office who will continue the same policies with a bit of a superficial difference? Incase you didn't get it both parties consist of basically the same scumbags. Just incase you need some help coping with your loss of purporse here is what you do: Draw a nice warm bath, find a power receptical that is conviently located close to your bath tub and plug a toaster oven into said outlet. Stand in the previously drawn bath water and drop the toaster in the water. Life isn't worth living when you can no longer be part of some psuedo duplicate of the 1960's peace movement. Kill yourself PLEEEEEAAAAASSSEEE! |

| 158 | Barbara | CA | |
| 159 | william | NY | banking/credit industry requlation |
| 160 | William | PA | |
| 161 | Barbara | MO | The very first thing that must be done is automatically approve Disability for every soldier that has returned from the war's so that they do not have to wait for healthcare and their disability payments so they do not wind up homeless or dead. They already paid their dues, why should they have to wait in a line that takes years to approve. They are our hero's. DAY 1. Then sign the Stem cell and S-CHIP!The rest as well, but will take longer than fixing what the country already voted on and he vetoed. Those just need to be resigned into law. GOD BLESS this Country and GOOD RIDENCE GWB! |
| 162 | Walking | MA | 1) Rescind *every* Bush-era law and *especially* each and every "Signing Statement" ever propagated by George W. Bush while in office. 2) Impeach Richard B. Cheney *and* George W. Bush *retroactively* and PDQ at that, and then TRY THEM BOTH in the SENATE. Try them for their yards-long "Rap Sheet" of criminal activity on the World Stage for all to see. (Um, because there is no law nor passage of our Constitution that is at all in any manner inclined contrary to DOING IT THAT WAY if needs be, is why - and we need to SET APPROPRIATE NATIONAL PRECEDENT and NO MORE GAMES, OK? OK!) 3) REVIEW and RE-IMPLEMENT the Seven-Point "Good Neighbor" protocols and policies of FDR, again PD EFFIN' Q, ya' dig? 4) Given lawful conviction of the "Miscreant 'Zekkative Duo" in the Senate, FORWARD the RESULT to the World Criminal Court, along with humble application for re-entry into that Community of Interest's sphere. Than PROSECUTE them BOTH at THAT level, PLEASE! (Yes.) 5) Pray Heaven that our aggrieved neighbors understand what happened and cut us enuf Holye Slack so's to re-establish ourselves back into what we all let slip from our grasp. Already, some forward-thinking folk seriously propose a Global Shun on the USA - a Global No Contact Order - an All-Planet ASBO, as a Brit'd know it. Believe me, this will HURT OUCH BAD OH NO if indeed implemented. Beyond that: 6) Increase the Peace. 7) Reverse the Curse. 8) Reject ALL Terror. After all, reversing curses and increasing peace and rejecting terror are still LEGAL as well as RIGHT. Now, you KNOW you WANT to do the Right Thing. So get on with it! |
| 163 | George | TX | I want all the non elite people of this country to keep watching my show LiL Bush and stay dumbed down.... |
| 164 | Jim | MI | |
| 165 | Ethan | MN | to allow gay-marriage |
| 166 | Yusef | CA | The petition is well-stated. Working on these three things should be plenty. The rest will follow. (I don't know what our press is saying - I don't think Canadians are fond of NAFTA...) |
| 167 | paul | KY | I really want Bush and his staff, to be tried and convicted for war crimes and treason, And do not, I mean do not let the piece of filth live in excile in a another country, HANG HIM! |

| 169 | Marshall | CA | |
| 170 | Sandi | WA | I would like for the war to end. Not just the war in Iraq but all war. Violence is destroying the human race. It doesn't seem right to me that there are children without parents and parents without their children because they were either sent away to fight for the U.S. or they were killed by the U.S... Over what? Oil? Money? Power? I couldn't imagine losing my son or my father for any reason, especially such meaningless reasons. I would like for our right to privacy to be restored. I want the leaders all around the world to start making changes everywhere. Changes that will benefit the greater good and help the people that they are supposed to represent. No more money spent on weapons. Instead take all the money that would normally be used for destruction and use it for healing. Find cures, build homes, feed the hungry, educate the people. No more lies, no more propaganda, no more hatred or violence. No more. Please. My son deserves a future that is filled with hope and happiness. So does yours. And theirs. And our kids will someday have kids who will have kids. They deserve for us to work hard to fix everything that is broken. Stop discrimination based on race, religion, and any other thing. People are people. We all deserve to be treated as such. No more social classes or ridiculous taxes on the land that God gave us to live on. Billions of dollars should be spent on cleaning our mother earth and preserving all that we can. No more filling the land with garbage, pollution, and blood. Love people and yourself and this earth, and act accordingly. |

| 180 | Emily | CA | |
| 181 | Anonymous | WA | An international tribunal to try Bush & Chenney for waging a war of aggression, that included the invasion of a sovereign country with no imminent threat, so that we could forcibly impose our political system on them. I would also like to get back ANY faith in the intelligence of the American public that re-elected them in 2004. |
| 182 | Anonymous | MA | There is no cure for BDS (Bush Derangement Syndrome). In fact, Republicans have cut off all funding for research of the disease. Not even an Obama presidency will cure this wretched disease. Even now, as the George W. Bush two term presidency (mere mention of 2 terms causes viloent convulsions) nears its conclusion, Liberals are convinced that Barack Obama is running against Bush for the presidency. Ah yes that party of peace (Dem Party) has preached nothing but hatred and disdain for 8 years. When one breathes and eats a consistent diet of hatred, one becomes consumed with it. I guess the old adage, "You are what youe eat" holds true. May God Bless you all and show you the err of your ways. USA! USA! USA! |

| 186 | Lisa | MA | Make protecting the environment and wildlife priority #1, even if it means we have to do with less. We need to respect the fragility of our planet! |
| 187 | jess | CA | OPERATION CHAOS LIVES!!! THANK YOU MY FATHER FOR FIGHTING IN WW2 GIVING ME THE FREEDOM TO TELL THE DEMOCRAT ASSHOLES TO FUCK OFF AND LOOK OUT,WE WONT TAKE WHATS COMING FROM THEM ANYMORE!!!!! |
| 188 | Steve | CA | I would love to change the hatred that seems to infest our brothers and sisters of the political right. They see anyone who doesn't agree with them as "on the left,"(and evil) and it leaves us moderates shaking our head in wonder. Is there really any purpose in resorting to profanity and suggesting violence? |
| 189 | ImaFokingidiot | CA | I would like a gay president. I would like to sit around and do nothing while the world suffers. This way, evil can triumph over good, which appears to be the view of your stupid website. |
| 190 | Kamesh | CA | Reduce the taxes on low and middle income families. Have emphasis on all round education with Sciences and arts. |
