Term limited for elected federal officials

That Congress live under the laws they pass. They have the same health care as the rest of us. They pay into a retirement fund and we pay into their retirement fund only as long as they are an elected official. They collect their retirement the same as we do. They have medicare not anything different than the general population. If we are sequestered and lose pay they lose the same percentage as everybody else. If insider trading is illegal for us it is the same for them. No special treatment for them and the rules are exactly the same for them as us. No special treatment for them from the IRS if we have our wages garnished or we go to jail for not paying on time they get the same treatment.

Our political system is broken. Politicians have become more concerned with keeping their seat than doing the work of the American people. Term limits would also lessen the power and influence of corporate lobbyists.

Los Angeles voters have a chance to make a statement against Citizens United and the dominance of Big Money in politics by voting Yes on Proposition C. Prop C reads: "Shall the voters adopt a resolution that there should be limits on political campaign spending and that corporations should not have the constitutional rights of human beings and instruct Los Angeles elected officials and area legislative representatives to promote that policy through amendments to the United States Constitution?" GREAT NEWS! PROP C PASSED WITH OVER 76% OF THE VOTE! The California Clean Money Campaign was proud to endorse Prop C, but the main drivers behind Prop C were California Common Cause, CALPIRG, and the Money In/Voters Out Coalition -- a big round of applause go to all three for giving Los Angeles voters a chance to overwhelmingly say that there should be limits on political campaign spending! It's still a long ways before a constitutional amendment can happen. In the meantime, let's pass SB 52, the California DISCLOSE Act, to stop secretive billionaires from hiding when they pay for political ads: http://petitions.moveon.org/sign/pass-the-california-disclose-4

disruption of democratic process

Since Congress gets paid regardless of what they do or don't do, and since the Republicans are intent on spending the salaries paid by tax dollars on such nonsense as attempting a 37th repeal of the Affordable Health Care Act rather than working together to move the country forward, they should instead be paid hourly, like most Americans, and not be paid if they do not show up and actually work. Boycotting votes by not showing up to work, would get any other American fired. Why are we, the people, allowing their behavior when we wouldn't allow it of other employees?

Congress should legislate, not perpetually investigate

This congress is already going down on history as the most ineffectual elected body ever elected. Tell them all it is time to accomplish something positive! If they can't truly represent us then ask them to leave...be sure they know you will NOT vote for any who are not doing their jobs!

During sequestration, the law should be changed and Sr. Exec. Staff should not receive bonuses on top of salaries salaries that range from $119,000 to $179,000.

After months of dragging government personnel before the house select committee and implying that there has been a gross miscarriage of justice, CBS broke the story that key emails regarding Benghazi were falsified. The House, specifically Darrell Issa, has wasted millions of tax-payer dollars on this investigation. With the news from CBS it is obvious that this has been an effort to discredit, with inside help, on a monumental scale. It's time to call these politicians to accounts. Someone besides the perpetrator knew about the falsification and someone needs to be held accountable.
