Most Republican Congressional Representatives and Senators signed a pledge to Grover Norquist that they would not raise taxes, This has stymied Congressional budget action, Now is the time for those individuals to prove that they are open to compromise by having a public burning of those pledges. At the same time, join with President Obama in creating a federal budget that is reasoned and based on the findings and recommendations of the Congressional Budget Office.

Because of My very low income on SSDI I became homeless for 6 years. I'm in a wheelchair . Thank the LORD I finally got help. but there are so many other's that are homeless because no one will rent on such low income. This Needs to change...

The majority of the electorate has given the President a mandate to eliminate tax cuts for the rich and not cut entitlements. The deficit cannot be cut without more revenue. Austerity alone will not work. He must not cave to Congressional Republicans or sell out to the Third Way.

President Obama must eliminate tax cuts for the rich; not sell out the middle class by guttingbentitlements; and NOT cave to Congressional Republicans this term

Employers have to give employees a 2 week notice before terminating employment, unless the termination of is the fault of the employee. E.g. of theft, harassment, or other offenses. It is common practice for an employee to give a 2 week notice before resigning or ending employment, in order to protect the equal right of the employee, employers should have to give at least 2 weeks employment ending notice as well. Personally I think it should be more than 2 weeks notice an employer has to give since it is more difficult to find a place of employment than it is to find employees.

Social Security has NOTHING to do with balancing the Budget. We pay for SS ourselves.Republicans in the Congress are going to try to hold America hostage during the "fiscal cliff" and debt ceiling talks to get cuts to "entitlements , like social security and medicare.. The vast majority of Americans do not want this. NO TAMPERING WITH Social Security.

The "Fiscal Cliff" was created by Congress to force them to negotiate. It hasn't worked, but now it's threatening world markets.

Elections are over and the American people have spoken. I do not think that Medicare and Social Security are entitlement issues. I have paid into them all my working career so I would have a safety net when I retire and not have to worry about privatization or vouchers to get health care when it is least likely I will be able to afford it. Republicans in the House need to wake up. YOU DO NOT HAVE A MANDATE. The PRESIDENT, BARACK OBAMA, was GIVEN A MANDATE OVERWHELMINGLY and we the people do not want him OBSTRUCTED IN HIS VISION FOR OUR COUNTRY. Elections are coming up for some Republicans in the House. We can finish the job and make sure Democrats take those seats so that the People's Agenda can move forward. My promise will be to work hard to help make that happen should Republicans not work toward resolving problems for the American people and not for the Hard Right Conservative wing of their Party. Stop the OBSTRUCTIONISM or WE THE PEOPLE WILL.

SENATE: APPROVE BILL H1380

Republicans need to know that you will not bend to extortion, as you have in the past. If you won't buckle or compromise on this promise, it will make you more effective for the next four years.

Let's give Americans and our economy a gift for the holidays: Peace, Bipartisanship, Leadership, and Confidence as we shop

When a CEO thinks they can control how their employees vote by threats, its time for workers and customers to unite and send them a very clear message that's its un-American. If this type of behavior is not contained, it becomes the norm.
