People should be concerned about the obstructive behavior of the House, in particular, the Republican party. They have not legislated anything for four years and it has to stop. We are what is important, the voters. I personally do not appreciate our tax monies funding obstruction for inappropriate agendas.

If both houses of Congress will not cooperate with each other & the President of the United States, then both houses should not get paid if there is any more obstructionism.

With the need to project an image of power, believing that this will act to protect the U.S., we have allowed the military mindset and our military response machinery to determine our foreign policies. If we gird for WAR, we will respond with WAR, rather than restraint and wisdom. President Dwight Eisenhower warned of the power of the military industrial complex. If peace WERE PROFITABLE we would have peace! We need a cabinet-level Department of Peace. Ohio Representative Dennis Kucinich should be named as its head!

I have heard of people letting other use their cards in exchange for cash.

Every elected representative in the house and senate are paid their salary for the remainder of their lives - plus benefits. This began in order to compensate farmers or small businessmen for leaving their livelihood to serve the people. Now it has become an industry, and by cutting these golden parachutes, the money could be used in better ways.

Citizens in every State have commenced petitions for their individual State to secede from the Union. It is appropriate to mount the same effort to voice our desire to remain in the union, as we have been since both April 9, 1865 and July 4, 1776.

SunRail: Scott froze this contract as part of his review of hundreds of contracts exceeding $1 million since his inauguration. Pink Slip Rick cites a one-page summary report from the City of Orlando, which says creation of the Orlando commuter train will bring 113,065 construction jobs for transit-oriented development. We traced that figure to an executive summary of the SunRail project by the Florida Department of Transportation. The report elaborates on that estimate of construction jobs, which would be created within a half-mile of the commuter train line over 20 years. Development doesn't happen overnight. Also he increased time limit for convicted felons to get civil rights restore - after completing their sentence, paid for their mistakes, you still have to wait another 4 years to get civil rights restored and vote like any other american citizen - only in the state of Florida, thanks to Rick Scott.

The Tillman Act of 1907 (34 Stat. 864) (January 26, 1907) was the first legislation in the United States prohibiting monetary contribution to national political campaigns by corporations and Glass–Steagall Act was for the separation of commercial banking from personal banking o protect the depositors

Before Congress makes any cuts to SSI or Medicare, both programs that they have exempted themselves from, they should lower their pay. I say this as a Medicare ans SSI recipient.

The President needs to know what the people are concerned about and what we want him to do.

On Election Day, the voting experience of hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers was tarnished by huge lines, jammed ballot scanners, chaotic poll sites and unqualified poll workers. We believe that every New Yorker should be given the fullest opportunity to vote! We -- Marc Landis, LeAnn Leutner, Joan Paylo and Nick Prigo -- are elected Democratic Party district leaders in Manhattan. We have seen the problems firsthand, and ask you to join us in calling upon our government representatives to address them.

Most of the members of Congress are millionaires, or close to it. They have LIFETIME pensions higher than most Americans, plus health care. They do not pay into Social Security. No wonder they have no compassion for the 99%! Since their pensions are so out of line, then we can save money by bringing them closer to our reality!
