By citizens' initiative Arizona should establish an Oregon-type vote-by-mail system.

Close the Prison in Guantanamo. It is contrary to the legal values of our country and puts American Prisoners of War at risk.

The ecomony is recovering slowly. There are a lot of people suffering from unemployment, from no medical care. Republicans held a meeting the week Obama was elected in whch members vowed not to work with President Obama " make Obama a one term President" The decisions made in that meeting by Republicans have hurt the millions of unemployed middle class and poor people in this country. We need to know who attended that meeting and what was said. Republicans have been able to get away "just saying no" and blaming the slow ecomonic recovery on Obama because the main press has refused to hold them accountable for their actions.

I am tired of out of touch and completely corrupted politicians running this country. They run for office using the same tactics the advertising companies use to fool you into buying a worthless product. Then we are surprised that the elected official is worthless. After so many years in office, the "not for the people' influences have taken over any shred of decency they may have had.

I am angry to see that The least among us are being hurt the most by the sequester cuts. while my 80 year old mother gets her meals on wheels cut all Congress can do is waste money on needless debates, investigations, disrespecting the President, and take vacations from doing nothing. When you call them all you get is a machine. . The sequester cuts should stop. I work hard everyday and sometimes I get a vacation. Why does Congress paid so much while getting so much time off from doing nothing?

It is time any and all representatives voted into office stop voting themselves raises and added benefits. No pay raises should be allowed unless put up for a vote by those who elected these people. It is time politicitians who love to talk so much about accountability show they are also responsible and willing do as they say.

Democracy CANNOT exist when any political party has the congressional districts gerrymandered in such a way that only their candidates can be elected. There is hardly any reason to vote in state elections when this situation exists, the fix is in and it is by law.

I do not know how to write it - but the way Congress/Senate works they really are part-time workers. So don't you think they shouldn't get health care like all of us part time workers? I need help in wording this petition correctly. Thanks

The purpose of the committee is give the voters an objective unbiased report of the efficiency and productivity of their elected officials.

This information can also help the voters determine whether their elected official are worthy enough to be re-elected.

Recent Council action removed vital economic development funds for growing the Capitol Riverfront, the Yards and Poplar Point. This investment would have created jobs, added residents, and served as a critical link in the city's economic development. Take action today and don't let this bad decision hurt the city's progress. Tell the Council to Put It Back!

Support Senator Warren's grassroots effort to make Student Loans affordable and fair.

The Executive Board of the South Dakota legislature recently voted to pay membership fees for all state legislators in the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), as well as the lawmakers' expenses when attending ALEC conferences. Financed in part by the billionaire Koch brothers, ALEC is a private, corporate-funded organization that produces "model legislation" to be advanced through state legislatures around the nation. Though ALEC claims to be nonpartisan, its model bills actually promote extreme conservative interests. Because this new practice is both a misuse of taxpayer money and a threat to our state's political process, we concerned South Dakota taxpayers hereby voice our strenuous opposition.
