reform

To all americans that believe true econimical success of our nation depends on abloshing disenfranchisement that is based on Race, Creed, or Religion.

The GOP has spent the last 4 years trying to "insure this was a one term President". In the process they have damaged the country by trying to end the Safety Net, and the people and the economy have been hurt. The Dems won the election.

We're losing about $1-TRILLION (over the next few years) by allowing those making MORE than $250,000/year continue to enjoy abnormally LOW tax rates. Restore their rates that were ALREADY in place at the beginning of George W. Bush's 1st term. It's only "FAIR".

I have paid into social,security,medicare and unemployment benefits, through out my working life. These earned benefits should not be reduced during a recession on current employees or beneficiaries.The top 2 per cent have benefited the most from our economy and it is time for them to pay their fair share as patriotic Americans.

Putting people to work

The majority of citizens want this to be done. The will of the people should be acknowledged. All that is needed is the will of our state lawmakers.

President Obama was re-elected because most of us believed he was the better choice. We all need to support President Obama because he is trying to help all of us; the American people.

I'm seeing a mess that will be passed on to my children and to future grandchildren.

In our recent election there was a vote on a proposal to raise the minimum wage in Albuquerque, it was passed by 66% of those who voted. There are two reasons for this petition, one the obvious; the evergaining discrepancy between the rich and the poor in this country, and the dire need for there to be something at least resembling a living wage in the city different. Two, and more importantly the need for the city council to do the job they were elected to do by representing their constituents. If the city council repeals a decision that voters overwhelmingly support it would not only fail the basic premise of that which is the United States 'Democracy' but far worse could lead to an eventual break-down in the political system thus into a potential revolution. I would sincerely ask that you urge the Albuquerque city council to vote with their constituents and not their own interests now and in the future.

The uber wealthy are the ones responsible, as always, for the depression we the people are suffering through. But it is always we the people who are asked to bail out the perpetrators. Enough, goddamnit! Keep your filthy hands off medicaid, medicare and social security. None of these are entitlements--taxpayers paid for them with their hard won labors--while the uber wealthy were profiting off illegal wars, untaxed off shore accounts and capital gains at 15%. It is time to make the guilty rich take the fall.

As an American Citizen it is time to reign in Congress. We are tired of them not looking out for us and only being concerned with their special interests. We, the undersigned, demand action on the Congressional Reform Act of 2012. It is now time for Congress to act on our behalf.
