All Americans have been affected by this issue. We can't call OUR Government a DEMOCRACY with SuperPacs being the Law.

We have all been affected by the inability of Congress and Senate to do anything.. we are always approaching finiancial cliffs because they refused to do their elected jobs. If we refused to do our jobs we would be disiplined by our employers, wrote up, funds withheld until the tasks were completed or fired. The Congress and Senate are looking for ways to cut spending-- then I know how this can be done-- If we have an inaffective Congress/Senate their pensions, and pay should be targeted. For example, they lose staff, cars, paid vacations,etc. , and all this "much to do about nothing" would hopefully cease.. We are paying them to do a job and they are not performing. Americans need recourse-- let's affect their pay their incomes like in the real world.

I am sick of my vote never counting, tired of all the money of canidates being spent in a few swing states. My vote should be as important as anyone's

Our U.S. representatives have neglected the oath of their office by secretly signing pledges to special interest groups. These pledges secure financial and other forms of support for elected officials in exchange for unwavering commitment to special interest positions. Examples of these pledges include Grover Norquist's pledge never to raise taxes and the National Rifle Association's "questionnaire" that opposes legislation banning the manufacture, sale or transfer of commonly-owned semi-automatic firearms or ammunition magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds. What "We the People" experience as a result of these pledges is the paralysis of the current Congress and White House in effectively serving the citizens of this country, and having our lives, liberty and pursuit of happiness held hostage by politicians hogtied to special interests.

Revamping the current broken system. The aforementioned should have term limits and live under the same legislatrion they vote or put into law for the american citizens. It's time to send a message and take America back. They are elected officials and work for us, not the other way around. They should be under social security and health care as the rest of us.

Seeing how Congress can not work together to do what is best for Americans. Their loyalty is to their Party, Lobbyist and Super Pacs not the voters.

Speaker Boehner has no concern for the well being of the citizens of the United States of America, especially since he has pulled the bill to finance the restoration of the devastation caused by Hurricane Sandy. Congressmen that follow this same thinking should be voted out of office.

O'Neal sent an email to all GOP members of the state house in Kansas. In his email, he quotes a psalm (109), praying for the death of President Obama. This is treason.

To have members of the House of Representatives and Senate limited to one term. This would break the machinery of election corruption, limit lobbyist relationships’ with elected officials, keep our government and democracy intact, and clear the way for new policies versus the current log jammed political process. Put the politicians to work for the people not themselves! Put the people's will first, NOT the politicians!

I am tired of those who make over 10X the income I make telling me that it is time for me to tighten my belt while they continue to loosen theirs. We need to make the Congress represent the people again by making them live like we do!

Before the passage of "CONTRACT WITH AMERICA," Newt Gringrich's conservative doctrine of promises, Congress had to vote for any pay raises. Hidden within the Contract With America was a law to end that practice and to give Congress and the President automatic pay raises based on COLA. Instead of voting to get a pay raise, Congress now just has to vote to stop an automatic yearly pay raise--something they have not done once. Middle Class American's are hurting and losing jobs to overseas countries. Some of the off-shoring of jobs is actually promoted by these same companies being able to deduct the moving expenses to go off-shore and overseas. Meanwhile, Congress and the President keep getting automatic COLA raises every year. Middle Class American's do not work in any job that provides an automatic pay increase. Why should members of Congress and the President be given such a blessing of the American taxpayer? Congress' approval rating is the lowest in history--meaning they are not working FOR the American people in any significant way. Yet, again, Congress keeps getting a COLA-based income raise yearly. Members of Congress spend more time out of Washington raising more and more money for their own re-election, which means they spend less and less time in Washington passing laws and bringing jobs back to hard-working deserving American taxpayers who actually pay the salary of these members of Congress. This has got to stop! The American taxpayer needs to remind each member of Congress that they work for us--not for the corporations, not the Lobbyists, not the Special Interests. The American taxpayer needs to end Congressional and Presidential automatic pay increases and demand that Congress return to the very public and open system in place ever since our nation's founding: that is, having to VOTE for their pay increases. The gravy train has long ended for the average Middle Class taxpayer (if there ever was such a time for the average taxpayer/worker in America), and it is time that Congress and the President feel the strain of living on ever decreasing incomes that "We The People" have now come to learn to do as our economy crumbles due to policies written in Congress to encourage off-shoring of American jobs. It is time "We The People" end the gravy train for members of Congress and the President that the Contract With America put in to place and to petition our members of Congress to end all automatic pay increases and return to voting for each and any pay increase.

First we had GMO grains and vegetables snuck into our food supply, then salmon... now pigs!! This has to stop. period.
