It was shocking after the Bill was passed to avoid the "fiscal cliff" it had billions in Pork attached.

Repeal portions of the HIPPA LAW!r the incident at Sandy Hook and some things happening in my family, I would like a portion of the Hippa Law changed. I feel it should read that if a patient is given a mind altering drug or a drug that has an affect on the brain where the patient is not cognitively able to think clearly, then he/she should not have the right to sign off family members to talk to their physicians. Because the HIPPA Law says it is the right of the patient to control who their physician talks to, many people are out their like the Sandy Hook shooter. Please help me. I have contacted Sen Baldwin's office to get her help with this matter.

Senate filibuster rules

Abolishing the winner take all of the Electoral College. Base the election on a percentage of the voters for each candidate. I think we are all affected by who is President of the United States. For a Candidate to win the popular vote, but to lose the election does not seem right.

How about reduced Pensions for all of our Congressmen Senators and Representtives In washington by 50% Including all State level officials too. No more fully paid health care after they all leave office.Stop maintaining an office after they leave office also. All Raises to Congress and Senators and House representatives be voter approved.Not approved by Themselves. That all benifet provided By our tax dollors be Published and put out for voter apporval.

America is doomed to marginal or negative social progress as long as we put up with our 18th century political system. We do NOT need others to vote for us on national issues of major importance. Today's technology makes dependence on this antiquated approach really stupid

While the congress is busy trying to cut the social safty net to, in their word cut the deficit, They are too well paid and the benefits extremely generous, I feel we the people who they are supposedly there to work for us seem to have forgotten that, very little has been done for at least the last 3 years except to get the USA downgraded and create a hostile non-working congress.

Can congress be trusted, any longer, to represent their country without oversight? Threatening, for a second time, to refuse to raise the debt ceiling to enable payment of bills they, themselves, have incurred - meaning more debt for each of their constituents, is an outrage. Working fewer and fewer days when the country has so many problems is intolerable. Citizens must be protected.

With the satisfaction level of the Congres at an all time low of 12 % and seemingly nothing getting done its time to get the rascals out of there and replace them with representatives who will be patriots and make the hard decisions and do what is best for our country and not for politics.

Yes, One side is trying to pass gun laws that would take away my freedom and the abilty to protect myself. The others side is trying to pass laws that would take away my right to colective bargining, wish would make it nearly impossible to make a living, have health insurance or a retirement.

I think its high time we, the people, voted members of congress to strict term limits of 2 terms before they need to step down. The founding fathers never intended these offices to become lifetime positions. We would also need to do away with the lifetime payments for them after they leave office. That is part of the reason why the US is so deep in debt.

We are all equal under the law. It is unfair that Congress has health insurance and rates that are different from the rest of the Country.
