Congress is trying to stop,themselves from being included in Obama Care.

Sick of Congress treating themselves like royalty and sticking it to those who vote them in to office. Congress should never vote on their own pay/benefits package. Pay, Raises, Benefits are to be put on ballots and only the people, who elect them, decide what they are worth. Most of our problems stem from bills Congress has enacted or vetoed. All Americans are losing something and Congress should be the first to feel the pain, not the last.

Mr. President, please have Congress may make the penalties and laws that are already in place to protect our children in special education and with Independent Education Plans (IEP) to be able to have somewhere to go to get their questions answered in their problems resolved. The districts do what they want to do, they say what they want to say, and in this district to keep the English learners separated, they school site council. Parents are frustrated because the organization’s above the local level and at the local level are filled with people were collecting taxpayer money in their only interest is keeping their job. It is now time for this to change, people should be put in charge because of their willingness to work together to make changes in special education to help other people. To make sure those parents, Guardians, and students know their rights. Meet monthly all a site that can handle the special education parents, Guardians, and students to have a safe will organize meetings with voted upon members who will take their problems and questions and get them resolved it also have the power to do so. Have mandated by laws to try to keep the politics out of the election of its members and to hold people accountable in special education in the local, county, and state levels for their actions or non-actions on complaints or ideas that would make it a lot better for the special education environment in which they live in. It is time for the secret nonbinding no action committees and organizations to be break up, and new an excited committees in action groups, an organization has to be put in their place of fresh new faces and new ideas to bring special education into 21st century and beyond. On May 2, 2013 our special education son, was raped on the campus of Hemet unified school district property under the care of an IEP that would have protected him from such happenings and a school district that stop me from entering campus because of the way I look. The school district did nothing until I talk to them at their school board meeting on May 7, 2013 around 6:45 PM and was confirmed on May 8, 2013 around the 8:03 AM they were looking into it.

Stop spending public money on something that cannot be stopped except with education (just like alcohol and prostitution, it will forever be a temptation). Treat it like alcohol, and collect the taxes (tax it high), rather than the current situation where it funds crime, gangs, terrorists and ends up with useless spending of scarce public money.

THE PRESIDENT HAS A TERM LIMIT..CONGRESS NEEDS TERM LIMITS TOO. TERM LIMITS WOULD CURTAIL THE EFFECT LOBBYISTS AND BIG BSINESS HAVE ON OUR LIVES. THE NRA IS A PRIME EXAMPLE OF BUYING CONGRESS.

I live in Washington, DC, not a state, not part of a state. I have no representation in the Senate or House and my vote can be over-ruled by representatives of states with fewer voters than DC. I live in the only country in the world where the citizens of the capital have fewer rights than people outside the capital. Many of us feel like we have been sidelined and have no voice in the current political discourse.

When visiting a few memorials the weekend.. it's becoming very obvious that security is few and far between. They have even closed a few of the tourist attractions due to NO security. We need our monuments open and the public to feel safe when visiting the Nations Capitol or anywhere else. We want an end to the Sequestration.

Air Force Chief of Staff Mark A. Welsh III says that 20% of women who volunteer for duty have already been sexually molested or are part of the "hook up" culture and therefore they get raped in the military. President Obama says our Military Members should know that the Commander in Chief has their back. Well prove it Mr. President. Fire General Mark Welsh for his ridiculous conclusion that service members arrive as damaged goods and therefore can be further sexually assaulted by those under his command. We fight wars abroad. Not AT HOME.

I would like to petition Congress and the President to read in public, the Constitution of the United States. Congress should read it in the chambers and the president should read it as a public address. My hope is that this will remind them of what our Constitution contains.

It is appalling that members of congress are not subject to the same laws as the rest of us. Their salary cannot be cut, they can trade stocks on legislation that will be passed and they have dream health care. We have to stop THEIR wastes. We end up suffering. They never do.

Terms of Congress should be two terms only. No benefits from working with the Congress for those two years: two and out.

35 hour work-week Tools were/are invented and used to save time and energy. They allow us to do more things, including having more “free” time to engage in other perhaps more enjoyable aspects of life. Industrialization did that to a great extent for civilization. So is our continuing advances in automation. The idea behind these advances is, or should be, to reduce the number of hours an average worker must put in on the job to accomplish the same feat. The average workweek in America did decline over the decades to reach 40 hours a week around World war 11. Since then, automation and efficiency have increased dramatically, but we are still stuck with a 40-hour workweek. This has been one of the reasons that we currently have such high unemployment-people still working 40 hours + a week while others are completely unemployed. We are long overdue for a legal reduction to a 35-hour workweek. If we did this, employers, especially corporations employing a large number of people, will be encouraged to hire more people to fill the gap rather then pay current employees time and a half overtime for that extra 5 hours needed to do the job. This would save parents some money reducing the amount of after school day care needed. The ultimate goal (in America) would be the 30-hour week. This would match America’s current school day. Some parents could then eliminate after school daycare altogether and allow some other families to become 2 earner families.
