I'm sure you are all aware Congress has a 79% disapproval rating. It seems our members of Congress think running our country is a joke or a game. None of them are putting our Country ahead of their Party. Since they have no intention to do what's best for our Country, I would like to start a movement to "vote all incumbents out of office starting in 2014." They need to get a loud and clear message from the people that the status-quo is no longer acceptable. They were elected to do their job, and if they choose not to, then they need to go! Enough is enough!

The city of Berkeley is number one in pedestrian deaths and injuries for cities its size in the state of California. Berkeley's policy of not citing, ticketing, and referring for prosecution even the most egregious cases had led to a free-for-all where drivers do not respect even the the most fundamental rights of pedestrians. Children, the elderly, and disabled people are taking the brunt of this brutality on our streets, many times even though the pedestrian is obeying every law. The police, the city and the DA's office do nothing.

We U.S. Citizens are "expected" to pay our own way with OBAMA CARE and/or other health and retirement benefits. "I" am tired of paying for extravagant trips, parties, entertainment, absurd benefits, etc. In a similar vein, I think is criminally wrong to offer $$$ to other countries when our own citizenry is in need. I COULD GO ON & ON & ON!!! :(

Congress had not done nothing but pent there whole time Fighting President Obama.Everytime he put a bill out that will help American people they knock everyone down Enoug is Enough.

New York is in the grip of a political crime wave. In the last 7 years, 32 New York State elected officials have been arrested, indicted, convicted, jailed, censured or resigned in disgrace. New York's legislators are more likely to lose their seat through arrest than at the polls. Regardless of party or ideology, these wrongdoers share one thing: they abused their positions of public trust and perverted our democracy to pursue personal gain. We must change this culture of corruption by changing the system. This requires public financed Fair Elections to attract candidates who will not be beholden to special interests, but will work for the public good. And we have only six weeks left in the session to do it! Maine, Connecticut, Arizona, and New York City have public financing systems. The cost for New York State would be just $2 per voter PER YEAR, less than a cup of coffee per year! In Connecticut, 75% of candidates have chosen to run with public financing alone. This has made an amazing difference in the integrity of politics and policy in that state. We the undersigned demand that New York's legislature and Governor enact meaningful, transparent, enforceable public financing of elections now, including limits on and disclosure of campaign contributions. We must ensure that the pay-to-play culture in Albany is eliminated.

If the US President the most powerful person in the world can only serve two terms, then why is it that the US House and US Senate can serve for life?.

The country faces high unemployment, war, crime, gun violence and other high priority things. It is time to stop the Republicans from spreading stupid conspiracies, they are a waste of time and resources.

I petition our congress to receive the same insurance, the same retirement plan, and a pay decrease of at least 20%.

Congress paying their fair share and putting in Honest ,productable wor days.

I feel that one can serve only master at a time. No matter what coiuntry in which a person holds citizenship, partial allegiance is not possible and should not be allowed either in Congress or in any other branch of government I would also include the State Department as well as the military services. If one wants to serve they should be willing to give up citizenship in another country A number of countries do not permit service by dual citizenship holders. The U.S. should be one of them.

Citizens United. We are all affected by this wrongful Supreme Court ruling. Oregonians should ask that it be repealed in their state. It is ruining democracy in our state and our country.
