Congress is comfortable to let over 30 Million Americans go without health insurance. They Have been a Do Nothing Congress for more than 5 years. It is time to let Congress know who they work for! Defund Congress's Health Care and Pension Now!

Governor Brown may be deciding any day now whether to sign SB 3, the first part of the Sunshine in Campaigns Act to pass the legislature. SB 3 is a key step in replacing California's antiquated website for tracking campaign contributions and lobbyists. As the Los Angeles Times says, it is currently "an embarrassing relic of the early Internet era." Knowing who pays for political campaigns and lobbyists is crucial for our democracy -- which is why SB 3 is so important. It is sponsored by California Common Cause and the League of Women Voters of California, and supported by the California Clean Money Campaign, Progressives United, CALPIRG, AFSCME, and others. TELL GOVERNOR BROWN TO SIGN SB 3 so Californians have a modern website that shows who's paying for lobbyists and political campaigns!

This Senator has betrayed all American citizens, by implementing PRISM, extended the Monsanto Protection Act, she voted 'no' on the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (S 397)--which would protect gun manufacturers, retailers and suppliers from being sued for crimes or accidents involving their products--and more! She no longer represents the people. She has outlived her usefulness.

Congress has 5 days scheduled before the Sep. 30 budget deadline to avoid a government shutdown. But some Republicans won't even negotiate unless Obamacare is defunded — and they're using the deadline to gain leverage. We need Rep. John Shimkus to prioritize expanding the middle class during the budget debate. Unless we act quickly, he may join with Republicans like Rep. Paul Ryan and support more cuts to education, healthcare, and other vital services.

Important legislation is often added onto bills as a "rider" or amendment and therefore it becomes invisible to public scrutiny or committee review. In order to create transparency in government and to prevent "pork barrel politics" each piece of legislation must be introduced as a single subject and assigned a unique number that can be tracked by anyone who is interested.

Everyone I know regardless of political affiliation is fed up with Washington. No one feels that they are represented. Without reform, we keep electing more of the same and the cycle continues.

with only 9 days of work scheduled in September, 4 of which have already been used, what do the House Republicans decide to focus on? the looming government shutdown? debt ceiling? farm bill, immigration reform, a fix to the Voting Rights Act? jobs? nope. they spent their time yesterday voting on the number one priority on their list: GOP lawmakers voted for the 41st time to gut the Affordable Care Act. this has gone beyond amusing, this has become madness, a vendetta against the President of this country that has consumed them to the point where they don't care if the country goes down in flames. they will fiddle while it does. this needs to stop.

Ending gridlock and returning our Government to work.
