We need to change the rules when it comes to senators and Supreme Court judges. They should only be able to serve a 4 year term like the president . Because it will give us fresh new ideals.

Vote rigging and voting suppression was rampant in most states run by republican governors. The Federal government should set up and operate elections for President, Senate and House. Most, maybe all states with Republican governors were guilty of practices that could fall under "poll taxes" and voter suppression.

Gun Control...where are the guns in America?

My taxes are going up, my medicare is near worthless, Can't afford to pay increased energy costs. Why? Because our president and Congress won't do their duty. Senate won't even bring bills up for a vote that would extend current tax rates. Senate won't pass a budget more less a balanced budget. Call and write your reps and senators. Tell them to do their duty as they swore an oath to do.

passing laws that help the poor and working class people. and the old. if the republicans dont pass laws. that help people and not the rich. vote them out. or take away there pay. and . and not pay them for there day off.

Government employee retirement benefits treated the same as Social Security

The most basic job of the U.S. Congress is to propose a budget for Presidential approval before the beginning of the fiscal year. The entire U.S. Government continually runs on a continuing resolution because our Congress is unable to reach a compromise and establish a bipartisan and responsible budget proposal. No industry would reward their executives for such poor performance and neither should the U.S. Government.

There have been way too many incidences of gun violence in the US in recent years. Emotionally distraught people should not have access to guns of any kind, ever. The 2nd Amendment needs to be reevaluated in the light of recent events, and a more socially-responsible interpretation of it's words and ideas must replace the 'every man for himself' philosophy that now prevails.

Our house of Representatives is scheduled to work only about 120 days this upcoming year, up from the 107 days they were in session this year. If you're only working part-time, you should be paid as a part-time worker. Cut their pay by two-thirds and do away with their benefits. We, the U.S. taxpayer, are not getting our moneys' worth. Even when they are there, they don't do the people's work.

Gun violence is out of control. Citizens should be able to sue gun manufacturers and sellers for injury or death of their loved ones, as was the case before 2005 congressional action.

House and Senate are in charge of deciding what to do about social security and medicare that effect the American people, while they themselves continue to vote raises for themselves, have no term limits, legally take lobbyists money, have some of the richest pension plans in place and have their own special well funded health insurance. Why is this? Becoming a Senator or House Representative used to be about serving the people, not profitting from the people. We need to stop these practices and hold them to the same standard as they hold the average person that they are being "rewarded" to represent. The bonuses of receiving Lobbyists monies, insider trading, excessive traveling expenses, Washington DC apartment rents, etc., is enough. Term limits must be enacted immediately. Pension plans and health plans for representatives should not be "special" so that they are isolated from feeling the effects of their actions. Congress is out of control, lets take the action necessary to make profound changes for the future of our leadership.

Taking responsibility for the gun that you own. If you decide to buy a gun you must be responsible to society for all actions of that gun until sold, passed on, or retired from society by being destroyed. You put this gun into our society you must take responsibility for it's actions.
