Their are memebers in congress who have been bought to do the will of corporations or special interest groups like big oiland coal. But if there are limits to their time maybe good can be done by them before they sell their souls over a longer period of time.

Plutocrats have stolen our democracy and the We the People want it back. As your employers, we command politicians to give our democracy back to us. The technology exists to give the public veto power over all legislation.

JUSTICE FOR AMERICAN WHISTLEBLOWER OLIVER B. MITCHELL III

I'm simply sickened and disturbed about the unnecessary use of deadly force by individual police officers against innocent civilians nationwide. Often these attacks are a product of racial bias, anger issues, or ineffective training. This is one of the most important civil rights issues of our generation.

Many of our parents and grandparents served their country proudly for their entire tour, at-the-ready should conflict arise. Most of them were drafted. Yet they are denied veterans benefits based on their dates of service. You can help to change the rules governing eligibility for veterans benefits to cover all veterans who served for more than 180 days. Many veterans served between Feb. 1, 1955 and Aug. 4, 1964. They are considered "peacetime" veterans and are, therefore, not eligible for the same benefits as a vet who served only ONE day, but during wartime. There is no equity in denial of benefits to those who served a full tour during the Cold War ("peacetime") and affording full veterans benefits to those who served just one day during wartime, even if they never saw combat or were never deployed to a combat arena. All veterans who served, at the ready, should be afforded equal benefits, regardless of their dates of service. It is by the sheer manpower of "peacetime" vets that we HAD peace. Please help us by sponsoring a bill to change the federal rules governing eligibility for Veterans Benefits.

When the voices of low-wage workers and community leaders are leading the conversation, we see real progress on fair pay. We must ensure that the fight for a national minimum wage increase is no longer a one-sided debate, and call on news outlets to to feature stories from the people who matter most in fighting economic inequality -- the working poor.

We've seen the level to which corporations will sink to rig elections and skew issues like climate change and health care. Campaign finance reform is where we'll see real change.

I know what it's like to work your way through college. Having access to student loans and grant programs helped me to become the first in my family to graduate from a 4-year college. I want to make sure the next generation of students have the same access and affordability I had when I went to college. Join me in supporting a budget that invests in education and makes sure EVERY American has access to quality and affordable education!

The City is using code enforcement, and their sanctioned religious group "Cops and Clergy" and law enforcement to trample the people's 1st Amendment rights here in Lake Elsinore, California. They are abusive, discriminative, and prejudiced. They have taken our liberties, kicked us out of the park because we are low income or Christian. There is no longer representation for the people, they have become the criminals.

We need change. Our government representatives are stale in their ideas and are not listening to the people and making changes to help the United States.

Voter Awareness of the extent of corruption in our Gocvernment.

An open "Internet" should be based on "net neutrality" however the proposed rule-making effort by the FCC will create a two tier system. The fast lane for corporate customers and the slow lane for everyone else. “Artists, developers, culture workers, media-makers, nonprofit organizations, community, civic and church groups must tell the FCC that this isn’t good enough. We need real rules of the road for ISPs to guarantee that creative expression and entrepreneurship can thrive in the online ecosystem.
