I live in New Bern, NC and I am outraged at Congress not coming up with deal to fix the sequester. This affects me because most of our economy comes from the brave men and women in uniform who defend this country, so that slack-jaw yokes like me can enjoy this great country. Congress needs to get locked in their seats until they can come up with a solution to fix this problem.

CAN WE GET RICK PERRY OUT OF OFFICE? CAN HE RUN AGAIN? HE HAS PREVENTED THIS STATE FROM RECEIVING SO MUCH MONEY AND SO MANY BENEFITS.

I've been on My job as a contractor for 16 yrs. this past year I was denied unemployment benefits because I'm a bus driver on a military installation. Some employee received benefits some didn't same job and title.

All people in the state have a right to vote. Right now politics has a strangle hold on the Kentuckians ability to elect the people they want to represent them. Kentuckians need a Redistricting Panel of CITIZENS to establish the redistricting lines. No pol is going to think of the citizens when this is done! We need what Californians have done & put this responsibility where it belongs in the peoples hands.

This petition is about gun control in the state of Illinois. We have a non-logic organization known as the NRA that does nothing for its members and the citizens in IL and wants to pass a concealed carry law in IL with no restrictions attached. No, we will not tolerate this rediculious behavior from the NRA. We need to block this concealed carry law in IL until our state can come up with the concealed carry bill that includes a Universal background check for everyone who buys a gun in IL, an Assault Weapons Ban that bans any Military Assault Rife along with a ban on purchases on bullet magazines limiting purchases to ten bullet purchases only, a mental health background check included, so that people with criminal records, violent behavioral problems, or mental behavioral problems from buying guns. We also need to not allow guns in IL to be sold at Gun shows in IL. We also need restrictions on where people can bring guns with a concealed carry permit like not being able to bring a gun into School Zones, Malls and Shopping Centers, Trains, Buses, Parks, and other public places.

Congressional Salaries

Every American is affected by their no compromise attitude. They want the poor and middle class to suffer and they feel no effect not fair if they had to do without one check they would do their job

Michigan's Emergency Management Law should be declared unconstitutional. Rick Snyder has taken away the power of several elected officials in his state. Even after the original emergency manager law was overturned, they just passed a new one. This can't be constitutional. But if it is, then why not take the law to it's logical conclusion. If the State of Michigan has so many cities in such bad shape, such that the governor can usurp the power of his cities' mayors, then why can't the Feds usurp HIS power as a governor?

This Act would require all US Senators to reduce their salaries and expenses by 50% before cutting funding for other programs.

Let's encourage our legislators to work within a timeframe by not rewarding poor work habits.

Every year since the passage of SB1070, I have volunteered to register, educate and mobilize voters in Arizona so that we can make a real, lasting change. We've turned out hundreds of thousands of voters and last year we reached record numbers of new voters! This massive voter participation exposed the inadequate election administration system in my state. Thousands were turned away from the polls or never got their vote-by-mail ballots. Rachel Maddow exposed the hundreds of thousands of votes not even counted until after Thanksgiving! So what do our politicians do? They are trying to fix the problem by making it harder to vote, rather than overhauling the broken system. First, they are voting on a bill this week that kicks you off the vote-by-mail list if you miss just one electoral cycle. But that’s not all! They’ve got another measure that would make it a felony for volunteers to help these voters by turning-in their vote-by-mail ballots at polling places once it’s too late to mail them in. They are actually trying to criminalize helping people participate in our democracy! Please join me to stand up for the right to vote in Arizona by signing this petition now!
