In the last few months I've received dozens, if not hundreds, of solicitations from Politicians who want donations so they can "fight for me". The more controversy there is, the more solicitations I get asking for money to feed the "fight machine". We've gotten what we've paid for, a political system built on controversy to draw money from Us, the constituents, to fund the production of more controversy. I say We The People who have funded these campaigns for "fighting" should boycott any additional political contributions until our Leaders accomplish something. If both sides say, "Enough", guess what, the games will stop. Let's give it a try. You'll have more money in your pocket and our political leaders will have less in theirs to fight with.

Since congress does not believe that social security is actually going to be around they made a law that they get paid their full wage until they die after retirement! Why should they get anything more than what the people they represent after retirement? They shouldn't! If its good enough for the rest ulof us it's good enough for them!

From jobs and the economy to education, guns, and the environment—these are all issues where state laws are every bit as important as national laws.

When voting for members of congress, lets send the message that we are tired of your inability to cooperate and get work done. Vote all of them out. Ask for term limits of 8 years and no more life long healthcare or retirement benefits for just serving one term. Like your fellow Americans, you need to work at a job for 20 years before your entitled to benefits.

Eliminate taxpayer-funded pension and health insurance benefits for State Legislators.

Alll of the working people in the US will be more severely impacted by the sequester. I run a small manufacturing company and I see how difficult it is for my employees before this cuts.

We, the undersigned people and People For Fairness Coalition, demand that you fund affordable housing to address the housing in the District of Columbia. You should focus the $100 million dollar commitment to the following housing priorities: Expand the Department of Human Services Permanent Supportive Housing Program to serve more people. Target the Local Rent Supplement Program to provide Housing and Support Services to chronically homeless individuals. Increase funding for the Housing Production Trust Fund to produce and preserve affordable housing. Pilot a "Sweat Equity" Program for homeless individuals to provide job training and afforodable housing. Additionally, it is critical that the $7 Million shortfall in the Department of Human Services FY'13 budget is accounted for and providing services to families and individuals experiencing homelessness. Sincerely,

The President's gun bill includes: Conduct background checks on buyers for all gun sales; Renew and strengthen ban on military style assault weapons; Reinstate ban on magazines holding more than 10 rounds.

Gov. Perry cut state funding for volunteer fire departments by 75% for 2012-2013. This left our communities and firefighters at risk. Tell Gov. Perry to abandon the shameful cuts and to promptly reinstate a budget that fully helps volunteer fire departments to save lives, property and jobs.

The closing of the Yemassee, South Carolina main post office has seriously affected the people of the town and surrounding areas. We have to travel 7 miles to the Early Branch, South Carolina post office to get our mail. Working people cannot get their mail because the hours of the post office make it very difficult to pick up mail. In addition, the post office closes at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday which also makes it very hard to get mail. We are concerned because not everyone has transportation to get to Early Branch. We cannot get any answers as to when or if the post office is going to reopen or relocate. We simply cannot afford to have the post office closed indefinitely because too many people depend on and need it. In conclusion, we desperately need the post office and asked that this matter be looked into and remedied in a timely manner.

I worked very hard to make public financing of CT legislative elections a reality in 1996. The Citizen Elections Commission is being destroyed by fewer employees, lack of clear, independent authority by Governor's "consolidation".

US Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel pledged to stop the estimated 19,000 military sexual assaults perpetrated every year. This epidemic of military sexual assault can and must be stopped. One of the few cases actually to reach a jury trial has been unilaterally thrown out by a lone general. As a former sexual assault prosecutor I am outraged by this travesty of justice which harms the victim and besmirches the millions who serve with honor.
