Last Tuesday our President, Barack Obama, won a decisive victory after running on a platform of letting the tax cuts for earners making more than $250,000 a year expire. Now as our country faces a fiscal cliff, our Republican controlled Congress would like to pretend that our voices were actually asking for the opposite. It's important that we hold the President and especially congress accountable to the will of the majority. If we'd wanted these tax cuts to be extended Mitt Romney would be President-elect today. If Boehner refuses to compromise or the President in a desire to seem like a 'bipartisan" caves to their re-invention of recent events, they need to know which way the wind is actually blowing. One cannot complain about deficits and then continue ill-conceived tax cuts to those who need it the least. If they send a bill without that particular piece the President should veto it. If we go off the "fiscal cliff" he should stump in each of these Republicans counties in 2014. There must be consequences for this obstructionism, and not just for regular people.

Employers should not be permitted to view a potential candidate's credit profile unless directly handling large sums of money in excess of $5,000 or more on an UNSUPERVISED basis.

With the dreaded "fiscal cliff" looming, we need to push members of Congress to accept tax increases as part of a balanced approach to resolving the deficit. Those in Congress who signed Grover Nordquist's Pledge not to raise taxes must be pressured to band together and Dump the Pledge. America's fiscal future is on the line!

Because of advancements in medicine and better ability to treat life threatening injuries in combat hospitals, more soldiers are coming home from battle with limbs missing and/or serious to mild mental disabilities. These disabilities are preventing many of these soldiers from getting jobs. Too many are ending up addicted to drugs and hopeless. The VA purports to be underfunded and overloaded and has done too little to assist these men and women. It's time to honor and respect them in ways that go beyond mere words.

We were all affected in this campaign year by attack ads funded by large corporations such as those owned by the Koch brothers and individuals like Carl Rove who created PACs to back the candidate that would push through their agendas when they got elected. They were virtually hi-jacking our Democracy and we can't let this happen again... we need to undo the Citizens United ruling before the next election.

Indiana currently practices inequitable, discriminatory, incompetent, arbitrary, unfair and harmful remedies to collect delinquent property taxes which are probably illegal at the federal level, and thus must cease such activity retroactively, returning homes they have "sold" at tax sales to the citizens until fair, legal, equitable, non-discriminatory policies/laws are enacted.

It is about discontinuing President Bush's tax cuts for the rich. It effects our entire country and contributes significantly to our national deficit. Discontinuing these tax cuts is non-negotiable. They never should have occurred in the first place.

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.
