The time has come to enact a socially responsible program to hold accountable those people we allow to use guns.

Cuts Republicans want to make in education, Medicaid, and other programs that are most important to our future.

Life is Precious..Let's support "Mayors against illegal guns" Keep up the momentum for regulations for gun ownership.

Our goal is to save the U.S. Postal Service from drastic cuts in service. We want the postal service to cease closure of the Salem, OR mail processing plant. We want the postal service to continue 6 day delivery and we want the postal service to stop closing post offices and cutting retail operating hours. Our goal is to see the dramatic pre payments into retirement accounts to stop and be returned to the postal service. We are proud of our postal network in Salem, OR and want to keep it the way it is.

Clean Elections is a highly popular and effective system that ensures elected officials are working for their constituents and not their wealthy special interests donors. Now, Republicans in the house have introduced a bill to more than quadruple the campaign contribution limit, opening future election cycles to even greater influence by special interests representing even smaller, wealthier individuals and organizations. We cannot let them succeed. If we don't stand up now, they will just continue to attack Clean Elections until the program is destroyed. Demand they stop the attacks on Clean Elections and vote "NO" on HCR 2026.

Congressional representatives are paid by we the people and are not doing their job. In the real world of ordinary folks, anyone who doesn't show up to work 50% of the time and does not produce on the job is either fired, or is not paid. Why is this any different for our public servants? They work for us, and we pay their salaries, so I would like to petition the people to demand that their salaries be lowered, docked or discontinued until they produce and show up for work.

The Congress has shown us in the recent past that they have no interest in working for the people but are only interested in political warfare. No action is an insult to American citizens and the democratic process. For this inaction, they should be required to donate half of their salaries this year and each year, day or month they are stalemated. If they don't work, they don't get paid.

Next Tuesday (Feb. 26), a pivotal vote in the Senate could have a lasting and detrimental impact on the safety and security of our nation. On that day, former Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-NE) will again attempt to be confirmed as our nation's Secretary of Defense. Don't allow President Obama to pressure the Senate into accepting an unworthy and ill-equipped candidate for the Secretary of Defense -- a position that's vital to our nation's safety and security. .

Government has stagnated because of this party serving practice

Tea Party House Republican's direspect and lack of decorum for President Obama; for the Office of the President; for the democratic process; and for America is an assault on all of our civil-rights.

The Kansas Open Meetings Act (KOMA) is designed to ensure that voters will not be shut out of the decision-making processes. We have a right to know not only HOW our legislators voted, but why: did they support/oppose something on principle, or on account of acceptable riders, or because they were bribed? If legislators and lobbyists can gather in secret meetings even to DISCUSS possible legislation, then we are shut out of the process.
