Congress needs to see what it feels like to be in the shoes of the average American Citizen. They have misused and abused their power far to long. We as Americans need to take a stand against those that have repeatedly used and abused this power, and endanger our way of life.

During the campaign the President relentlessly spoke about the fairness of the upper middle class paying more taxes. Many people in this group that I know are dedicated individulas who work long hours almost 7 days a week for more than 30 years! So, I am asking the President to show fairness to these citizens and the needy among us by being prudent in spending peoples hard earned money,

The filibuster rules in the U.S. Senate stand in the way of everything we, as MoveOn members, want for the country. Let's pressure the Senate Democrats to revise the filibuster rules on January 3, 2013 (by simple majority) to ensure that EVERY legislation or court/cabinet appointment going forward ULTIMATELY gets an up-or-down vote. This change will restore SOME semblance of democracy in an institution that has only 10% public approval. Republicans should support this reform as well. If elections are won fairly by one party or the other, the agenda supported by that majority party (either Democrat or Republican) should be voted on and, if approved and implemented, the results of that legislation can then be fairly judged by US voters in future elections.

The effects of unlimited money in our electoral politics is tearing the fabric of our democratic republic. The Constitution amended, seems to be the only feasible solution.

Liz Warren has a job to do on Capitol Hill and Democrats need to support her appointment to the Senate Banking Committee. Bank and Insurance Lobby are contacting Democrat Senators to block her appointment.

Election reform.

I'm tired of changing my clocks for no good reason. Daylight saving time needlessly disrupts sleep, travel, recordkeeping, and more.

Allen West called 80 Democratic Congressmen Communists, and since they are elected representatives, he therefore called hundreds of thousands of Democratic voters Communists. The leaders of his party, the GOP, by their silence have condoned this America destroying civil war baiting atrocity. We must force them to disavow this hateful unAmerican fascist statement or risk complete collapse of civility and the certain demise of America.

In Canada it's aginst the law to lie about a political opponent in an election. Make such a law here--who could be against such a law

I want the ability to recall ANY politician in the State Of Florida.

We've all been personally affected by our bloated military budget and bloated military presence of the world

No one has been able to explain to me why young men and women serve in the U.S. Military for 20 years, risking their lives protecting freedom, and only get 50% of their pay as pension. Politicians hold their political positions in the safe confines of the capitol, protected by these same men and women, and receive full pay retirement after serving one term. It just does not make any sense.
