• Law Maker's Time to Own Up
    I am tired of hearing about the monetary and other benefits that are allotted to our law maker's and policy maker's - all of congress, governors, legislator's - every politician while the rest of us go without. I have no pension, I have no health insuraNCE. I have worked since I was 11 years old, starting out babysitting - and sometimes working three jobs to survive. These people got us into this economic mess - its time they sacrificed something. Just like every other American who has worked an honest job and then retires with barely a scrap of what they paid into Social Security - they should be getting the same.

  • Fair interest on savings accounts
    This may concern seniors the most but it should concern everyone. Banks make 6-8% on loans; we get .01% on our savings. The government encourages us to save to supplement Social Security but an average $8 a month isn't enough to buy dog food. I am most definitely personally affected by this absurd rate. I was a well paid executive before I retired. My pension "disappeared" and all I have left is some savings, These rates have forced me to live below the poverty level.

  • Congress should give up their pay
    Congress aproval rating is 9 and thats not based on a 10, that's 9% out of 100%. The average yearly pay in Congress is $174,000. The Median wealth of all members in Congress is $911,510. The average salary in the US is $47,000 and they will tax us more. You see the reason they won't raise taxes on the wealthy (just pay what we pay) Is because they will be affected. Essentially if they did not receive pay or lobbyist monies they in turn will less likely to tthink of themselves. A seat in Congress should not be your only job. Especially for someone who goes to work half the time and doesn't produce anything.

  • Southerners against Secession
    I am concerned about the number of people signing the petition to secede from the U.S. I think this is a distraction from what our government should be focused on. Let's show our support for the President by starting a petition not to secede.

  • Entitlement cuts for Congressmen and Senators.
    Republicans need to compromise! We elected President Obama because he has everyone's best interest at heart, now let him lead us to a more humane and prosperous existence.

  • Reform apportionment for all elected offices
    The American people have been disenfranchised by both parties. In the past election Democrats received more than a million more votes for house seats than Republicans, but Republicans hold a majority in the House. The House is the People's House but the people's will is not expressed in the House of Representatives. This and voter suppression are killing our democracy. All allocations for federal, state and local offices has to be done by a nonpartisan committee using computer models of approximately equal geographic area and equal population density!
