Anonymous Banks ,who sale Bank foreclosure homes that do not properly show personal Identification to sell ,without legal identification, scriptures and Property of ownership with a statement of said Home for sale, should not be aloud nor permitted to sell a home. If a loan buyer has no information of the Bank who is making the sale of the home get cut in this wrong act, The buyer is the person who may loose everything. The person who buys that home may be in jeopardy having problems and possibly penalties. If the buyer does not know that, that seller had the wrong ID, who sold them the home. May loose the loan money, the house and may even go to jail because there was no legal authority present when the Foreclosure seller did the sale .All buyers should be protected from these frauds they should be protected from Banks who do not use proper documentation and Identification to make foreclosure sales homes.

The middle class has bail out the banks and big business. We deserve a bail out. The country requires the middle class support for finances. The wealthy class should be willing to support this country by doing it fair share of the burden. They have reaped all the profits on the backs of others. Now is the time to stand for America and not greed.

In Texas, we should be expanding the right to vote, not restricting it. For this reason, we want our state legislature to pass a bill that will allow voter registration on the same date that elections are held in Texas.

Dear President Obama, I request that, during the swearing-in ceremony for your second term, you consider laying your hand upon a copy of the Constitution instead of upon the Bible and that you eliminate all trappings of religious faith from the ceremony. The reasons for this request are as follows: -Having the Chief Executive sworn in with a Bible is an obvious violation of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment as it clearly represents a preferential acknowledgement of one religious belief (Judeo-Christianity) over all others. -The Constitution represents the set of rules that applies to all Americans regardless of race, sex or creed, whereas religious texts only apply to the adherents of their particular faith. -The Constitution is the document that you swear to defend in your oath of office. -The Bible contains passages that are supportive of mysogyny, homophobia and genocide. It also offers advice on how to properly treat slaves without once stating that owning other human beings is morally wrong. -None of the governments described in the Bible are democratic. -The words "so help me God" are not a part of the official oath as stated in the Constitution and when said by a member of the government being sworn into office represent another violation of the Establishment Clause. Obviously the choice to remove all forms of faith from a presidential inaugural will be controversial and cause outrage among your political foes as well as many of your supporters. But in the interest of obtaining true religious liberty in our country, this outrage will be well worth facing and the ensuing debate healthy and well worth having.

Use this form to sign Senator Harkin’s petition to President Obama urging him to stand strong and protect the middle class in the fiscal "cliff" negotiations. If we all stand together, we can strengthen President Obama’s hand without tying his hands.

To prevent Congress from touching Medicare and/or Social Security until members of the House and Senate give up their special entitlements and subject themselves to the same entitlements as the rest of the country.

Our legislaters should follow the same rules they impose on the American people.

Pledges made to Grover Norquist's organization seem to present a conflict for our elected officials. Any office holder that signed a pledge other than their pledge to their oath of office needs to disavow all prior pledges except to their oath of office.

Tuesday, Dec. 5, was a day of disgrace in the Senate. A small number of Republican senators voted to reject ratification of this Treaty, which was based on our own law, written in 1991 and signed into law by the first President Bush. I call for a re-vote, if such a thing is possible. Even the frail former senator and Republican presidential candidate Bob Dole, who appeared in the Senate Chamber to argue on behalf ot theTreaty's passage, was not able to achieve its passage.

Filibusters should be few in number and short in duration.

An enormous amount of money is being spent to keep our elected officials living in style for life. No matter where I work, I can't get a pension for life for just serving a few years. I can't get top shelf life insurance for life for just serving a few years. And, they want to cut Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. Listening to these same elected officials repeat the same mantra about entitlement cuts without any cuts to benefits they have is just sickening. It's just not right.
