The most effective first step towards reducing the overwhelming influence of money in elections is to prohibit election campaign ads from television, radio, and large, stationary signs such as billboards. Two-thirds of all campaign funds produce TV ads, targeting a "captive" audience. Eliminating those ads will greatly reduce the power of big money, e.g., corporate money.

I am concerned about Republican Governors owning monied interests in private businesses they are pushing on the people of their state through laws and policies to replace government agencies. For example Rick Scott, Governor of Florida wants all state workers to take urine drug screens from a company that he owns monied interest in. Rick Scott, Govenor of Florida and Jan Brewer, Governor of Arizona also want to privatize prisons. This sets up corruption that is unimaginiable in that people who make laws about who goes to prison are also lining their pockets with taxpayer money supporting those prisons. Also, the more people that are in prison, the more money they make. Could this be why Jan Brewer is so intererested in placing illegal immigrants in prison? This is not free enterprise and this is not democracy. It is a very scarey type of facism and needs to be nipped in the bud now instead of later.

Branded as a “trade deal” by its corporate proponents, the TPP would actually establish new corporate rights and privileges that would include permanent constraints on government regulation. These include new corporate safeguards to ease job offshoring, assert control over natural resources, and severely limit the government's ability to regulate financial services, land use, food safety, natural resources, energy, tobacco, healthcare and more.

Stop employers like DirecTV that paids technicians by the job they complete only, but in many, many cases these technicians dont get paid over time, driving time, jobs that were canseled or rescheduled by customers, jobs where the customers were not home or jobs that were not able to be completed for reason that are out of the technicians control, these technicians work long hours, but they dont get pay all the hrs of work, and the employers like DirecTV are getting away with that, what we need is a law that forces all employers to pay the employees by the hour their work insted of piece rates.

My son and his wife were unable to have their bank (PNC) lower their interest rate, but instead their monthly payment were raised. The scandal at Barclay's in London which involves American banks affected all of our interest rates since 2005 - perhaps even earlier. When is the Congress going to hold the top officers of banks legally responsible, instead of treating them deferentially, as they recently did when Robert Diamond testified.

We the People grow weary of waiting for justice to be served to the financial institutions who brought our nation to its knees with the 2007-08 economic collapse from which they recovered immediately with our tax bailout money while the people are continuing to lose jobs, homes and savings with no end in sight; We demand action on the part of Congress and the White House to end the culture of impunity under which the financial institutions continue to operate as evidenced by: 1. The recent $9 billion loss incurred by JPMorgan Chase in the same kind of risky gambling with the People’s money that brought us the Great Recession; 2. The unfolding London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) rigging scandal in which sixteen global banks are alleged to have colluded to set the international interest rate from which flow interest rates for trillions of dollars of loans worldwide, including credit card debt, mortgages, student debt and other indebtedness too numerous to name; We demand the end of the business-as-usual practice of federal investigations of financial crimes which result in a relatively small fine which the financial institutions simply consider a cost of doing business.

Mitt Romney should give a full disclosure of his taxes and financial holdings, just as did his father, George, when he ran for president. Voters deserve an honest disclosure. Mitt's support for reduced taxes for the rich and corporate power make this a serious issue

Cheney is linked to Blackwater a contract organization that provided civilian troops to Iraq. They were rumored to have indiscriminately killed thousands of innocent civilians, using sophisticated ordnance and weapons.

Our democracy has been hijacked by the powerful elite. Citizen's United has created the legality of corporations to function as though they are citizens. Overturning this legal abomination would restore some sanity to our "democracy".

The decision-making executives of corporations are not legally liable for any of the damages their decisions have caused -- whether it is polluting the air we breathe or cleaning up their oil spills. The corporations themselves may be liable, but the executives who knowingly direct their corporations to engage in illegal acts in order to make an extra profit can do so with 100% impunity. Let's change that and make both the corporate executives and the board of directors legally liable for all of their corporation's activities.

I want people boycotting Sean Hannity's advertisers the same way they did with Rush Limbaugh's.
