My petition is about just how the GOP is dealing with the public when its the same public that elects them. They wont cut anything that is the "darlings" of the GOP...Either the Military or the Industrial Complex....and instead..they come after social issues and the assist that it supplies. Folks need help in this economy and they know it. It was the GOP that did this to us...and now..they show even more disdain for people. Its criminal.

The President has set a limit for increasing taxes on any single person at $200,000, but has set the limit at $250,000 for couples. This is a sexist policy because it assumes one spouse to be making 25% of the other. It also tacitly discourages successful individuals from marry financially and intellectually equal spouses. A policy that would treat both spouses equally would set the limit of $200,000 for each spouse. Tell the President that this inequality should be corrected.

If the GOP does not stop this game they are playing with the "Fiscal Cliff" and get in the game , each and everyone that votes against bipartisan working ahead to begin really good outcomes will be voted out in 2014.

Keep Bush Tax cuts on lower income folks. Make an Amendment that national election can NOT begin any sooner than 6 months prior to the Election.

Commodity index funds have a direct effect on the pocket books of all Americans for food, energy bills and gas prices at the pumps. These higher prices take money out of the economy needed to create job growth.

The biggest problem is actually rampant, unchecked crime because of the small number of police officers. When we call 911, there is no hope of the police showing up.

My mother has worked 25 years for the USPS in the Buffalo area in WNY (Western New York). Hoping to retire after 30 years, she is still treated like a mail carrier half her age and required to work 10-12 hour shifts all because the station she works at has a hiring freeze. The station MUST hire younger mail carriers so that the senior carriers have less of a workload and be able to retire in relatively good health.

This country was not founded so certain people could enjoy more rights than other, including income. people who make more should pay more in taxes than they currently do .

The USDA does not care about disabled people. The USDA classes Disabled Farmers and Ranchers as Socially Disadvantage Farmers and Rancher, yet when you apply for help they do not take into account your disability until you pass a credit check, and not before.

Rep. Fred Upton must drop the Norquist anti-tax pledge and allow the Bush tax cuts for the top 2% to come to an end. Grover Norquist has created a zealous, self-promoting tax scourge & is trying to take down the government by holding our elected officials hostage to this pledge. This has only caused division in our government and is making it impossible for our officials to work together as they were elected to do. Remember WE pay their salaries which means they work for US not Grover Norquist. He has also been linked to the Jack Abramoff lobbying scandal. Why would you back such a person? It's time to abandon this pledge and get back to the government of the people and start serving those that elected you and not some special interest lobbyist.
