The right to vote is not explicitly stated in the U.S. Constitution. A handful of phrases in several amendments state a limited number of categories of barriers and discriminatory practices that are dis-allowed. A specific amendment is needed to simply, clearly and categorically state that all US citizens have the right to vote in federal, state, and local elections, for which they meet age and residence requirements, and that imposition of any arbitrary, capricious or discriminatory laws or eligibility criteria to the access of the voting franchise resulting from overt action by government or its elected or appointed officials, or by neglect on their part, or by interference of non-governmental citizens or entities, is a violation of the federal constitution. In the 21st Century Americans should also have explicit constitutional protection against inadequate poll access, waiting for hours in lines, shoddy voting devices, having their names arbitrarily removed from registration rolls, or being misled or intimidated by individuals or organizations working to influence election outcomes. An explicit declaration of each citizen's right to vote takes on new importance and urgency given the recent decision by the United States Supreme Court to review and reconsider continued enforcement of the Voter Rights Act of 1965, the hallmark civil rights achievement of the 20th century. It is clear that creative avenues of discrimination have continued to emerge in the absence of an overarching declaration of every citizen's right to vote and similarly overarching prohibition of any overt or indirect discriminatory practices.

Sustainable hemp seed, fiber and oil are already used in nutritious food, textiles, body care and even auto-parts. Many American companies are using imported hemp in their products today.

I just ran a tabulation of Pennsylvania's 18 House of Representative vote totals: 2,744K Democratic 2,625K Republican. The shocking outcome: 13 Republican victories, 5 Democratic wins. I'm sure you'd find the same outrageous gerrymandering if you did the National total which is how a Democratic majority electorate managed to deliver a Republican House - something puzzlingly un-noted by the media pundits. We are the only western democracy that leaves the election process in the hands of partisan politicians and this is the corruption and gridlock we get for it.

Between the counties of Santa Clara, Orange, San Diego, and LOS ANGELES 1.6 million votes remain uncounted!!! Its unknown how many other votes are uncounted in other Californian counties because providing these uncounted ballots to the Secretary of State is voluntary and NOT MANDATORY! DEMAND A RECOUNT NOW!!

1. Congress should have term limits 2. Congress should not have retirement benefits, like every American after their term they need to get a job. 3. Congress should get the same government health care benefits as those they represent.

We are asking the United States Food and Drug Administration to take steps in regulating antibiotics that are being given to livestock. These antibiotics are not only harmful but they can lead to "superbugs" that are resistent to medication. Keep our food supply safe and tell the FDA to regulate the use of antibiotics in livestock to stop the spread of antibiotic-resistant "superbugs."

The redistricting efforts of 2011 have proven that political parties are more interested in their own priorities than in representing their constituencies. We have until 2020 to do something to prevent politicians from limiting the democratic process through partisan maneuvering of district boundaries. Gerrymandering is one of the most consistently undemocratic realities in this great country.

The country has failed to move ahead effectively due to Congress putting party interests ahead of the people of the United States. The President has been re-elected by a large majority of Americans looking to move us FORWARD. We will be watching closely for the next two years to identify any congressperson or senator keeping us back.

Cooperate with the dems !!!

Put it to a vote nationwide, whether Congress (Senators and Representatives) get a raise, and make it mandatory that you have to serve three terms to collect a pension from the government.

The days of the American public standing idle as elected officials play political games on our tax dollars have passed. It's time for us to demand results from our representatives for the jobs that they were elected to perform.

The right to work law, gives employers the right to exploit workers, denying them the right of union representation and puts the workers completely at the mercy of the employer. I worked at a secure mental health facility and the facility was due to move to another site miles away, they also wanted to shed some of the staff but did not want to lay them off or fire them because they did not want to pay out for doing so therefore they decided to make the lives of some of the employers so un-bearable that they would quit of their own accord. I have a degree and one day the supervisor told me and another colleague to go outside in the blazing sun and sweep the front of the facility which was half the size of a football field with a broom of course we refused and felt we had no choice to quit right there and then, there plan worked, we had no recourse because of the"Right to work law" in Florida made sure of it.
