The War On Drugs has cost millions of lives and trillions of taxpayer dollars, and has accomplished next to nothing. Tell President Obama to end the War On Drugs now!

Before the United States Supreme Court hears any case affecting the rights of homosexuals, Justice Scalia's bias against homosexual citizens disqualifies him from participating in the formation of any ruling by the court. As a United Methodist pastor my denomination and I personally believe that homosexuals no less than heterosexuals are endowed by our creator with the rights provided by the United States Constitution. My faith and my duties as a citizen compel me to do all in my power to defend the rights of homosexuals, including their full protection by the courts. Instead, Justice Scalia abuses his office to deprive homosexuals of their rights.

Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R) from Utah is trying to rein in our ex-Presidents from bilking tax payers for absurd post-Presidential allowances. Please call your elected offical and ask them to step up to the plate on this fight.

Politics is about compromise. Compromise became a dirty word in Congress. After a record number of filibusters, the GOP just filibustered their own bill. That's unprecedented. In the House, the GOP refuses to make the Bush tax cuts permanant for 98% of Americans & 97% of small businesses. GOP is no longer the champion of tax cuts, or immigration, or national security. GOP also blocked a jobs bill to fix our roads & lower the high unemployment rate. That's unprecedented. GOP also hurt our currency rating & cost our economy $18 billion during an unprecedented & unnecessary debt ceiling debate. Now they're threatening to do it again.

With all the false adds that ran during the elections in the last 2 years, this would be one way to clean up politics. Anyone knowingly advertising or campaigning false facts will be fined the price of the add they ran and damages to the victim of the add. They will also need to run an add to denounce the false add at the same time the false add was ran. Winning a political race should be done with the same honesty and dignity as we expect them to run our country and government!!!.

I have been reading how citizens have become frustrated with congress leaving on vacation and not settling issues before leaving. They should not be allowed payment, just like any other citizen that does not work. Also, they should not be allowed any type of retirement funding by the people, and should save as many Americans do when they retire. This also includes healthcare.

Higher education in the U.S. is being hijacked by vast amounts of cash flooding the campaign coffers of those who purport to represent us. Thanks to endless lobbying and limitless cash that has been showered upon members of Congress, including and especially House Speaker John Boehner, student loans have been stripped of all basic consumer protections. As long as our leaders in Washington continue to line their pockets with Sallie Mae's money, student loan borrowers will continue to get the shaft.

Limit the Representives to only Two terms.

Even after America have spoken, it's obvious John Boehner still has a hidden agenda. He need to be investigated then removed from being the Speaker of the House because he is doing a terrible job. Even when he is losing support from his own party he still is showing how big of an ass he can be. Boehner is part of the good old boys club which have died years ago. He is not concerned by this country he has proven that again and again.

ELECTIONS FOR FEDERAL OFFICE

http://www.in.gov/legislative/bills/2012/IN/IN0347.1.html, senate bill 347 it is already in the works, however this is not enough it needs to be Decriminalized all together! "WE THE PEOPLE" just need to support it and stand behind it. Every one in this state that pays taxes is effected by these marijuana laws. Indiana would stand to make over 17,000,000 a year just on revenue see link below; http://money.cnn.com/pf/features/lists/taxes_marijuana/table.html not to mention the money we would save on jury trail cases to try people for marijuana violations, cost to prosecute these cases, cost to pay to incarcerate people for pooss. and then you have the loss of revenue in sells taxes a year,17.8 million, and jobs that it would create to be grown and sold legally it would eliminate the black market and support legal causes as opposed to the criminal causes its profits support now. In 1988, Michael Aldrich and Tod Mikuriya published "Savings in California Marijuana Law Enforcement Costs Attributable to the Moscone Act of 1976" in the Journal of Psychoactive Drugs. The study estimated California saved almost one billion dollars in a twelve-year period between 1976 and 1988, as a result of the Moscone Act of 1976 that decriminalized cannabis. In 2003, the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) published "Economic Costs of Drug Abuse," which stated without separately analyzing cannabis related costs, the United States was spending $12.1 billion on law enforcement and court costs, and $16.9 billion in corrections costs, totaling $29 billion a year. In 2004, Scott Bates of the Boreal Economic Analysis & Research center prepared a study for Alaskans for Rights & Revenues entitled "The Economic Implications of Marijuana Legalization in Alaska." The study estimated the Alaskan government was spending $25–30 million per year enforcing cannabis prohibition laws. The study found if the purchase of cannabis were to be taxed as a legal commodity, tax revenues would increase by about $10–20 million per year, making $35–50 million per year in funds available to the state . In 2006, a study by Jon Gettman entitled "Marijuana Production in the United States" was published in The Bulletin of Cannabis Reform. The report states cannabis is the top cash crop in 12 states, is one of the top three cash crops in 30 states, and is one of the top five cash crops in 39 states. Gettman estimated the value of U.S. cannabis production at $35.8 billion, which is more than the combined value of corn and wheat. Furthermore, the report states according to federal estimates, eradication efforts have failed to prevent the spread of cannabis production, as cannabis production has increased tenfold in the past 25 years. In 2006, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime released the 2006 World Drug Report, which stated the North American cannabis market is estimated to be worth anywhere from $10 billion to $60 billion annually. That same study also indicated that the mountainous regions in Appalachia, and the rural areas of the West Coast are ideal for growing cannabis. Allowing farmers there to grow cannabis openly would both provide jobs and reduce the need for expensive federal welfare payments to those areas, which are disproportionately dependent on welfare. The Drug Enforcement Administration has reported that cannabis sales and trafficking support violent criminal gangs.Proponents of fully decriminalizing cannabis to allow the regulated cultivation and sale of cannabis, including Law Enforcement Against Prohibition, argue that fully decriminalizing cannabis would largely decrease financial gains earned by gangs in black market cannabis sales and trafficking. Health effects of cannabis The Lancet's 2007 comparison of substances' relative harm See also: Effects of cannabis Cannabis has been subject to many studies over the past century. Studies acknowledge that cannabis can in rare cases cause adverse reactions, but is generally safer than any commonly consumed drug such as Alcohol, Tobacco and pharmaceuticals. Psychopharmacologist David Nutt argues, though he is against full declassification, that the harm caused by cannabis is far less than that caused by alcohol or tobacco, which, if they were invented today "would be illegal. Reduction in prison overcrowding and strain on the Criminal Justice System Supporters of decriminalization argue that if cannabis was to be legalized it would reduce the amount of non violent offenders in prison making room for the incarceration of more violent offenders as well as easing the current strain that the large amount of cannabis possession cases have on the criminal justice system. They also propose that it would also save taxpayers the cost of incarceration for these non violent offenders. Success of progressive drug policies adopted in other countries Studies on decriminalization of Marijuana in Portugal have indicated it to be a "huge success". Drug use rates in Portugal were found to be dramatically lower than the United states with Decriminalization enacted. Teen use of Marijuana in the Netherlands where it is sold legally and openly is lower than in the United States. It is natural we want what we can not have, legalize it and it losses it seductive power of rebellion that most underage user are attracted to. Individual freedom Some people are in favor of decriminalization and legalization of marijuana simply for the moral stance that individuals freedom for property rights should be respected. This view is generally held in libertarian politics. This view is that regardless of any health effects of someones lifestyle choice if they are not directly harming anyone else or their property then they should be free to. Many people who support drug freedom policies may personally be strongly against drug use personally but still wants to protect the freedom of others to do so. lets not forget 12 U.S. presidents admittedly smoked or grew and smoked marijuana George ...

Simply put, to stop the change of time twice yearly. Stop observing Daylight Savings time. It serves no purpose other than as an irritant.
