Passing bills that will help the public.

There too many confusing and contradicting rules for voting throughout the U.S.A. Lets make all states the same rules for national elections and make all states have early voting at least a week before election day.

I can not believe in 2012 we still have voter suppression. This has to stop. How many stories do we have to see in order to recognize the problem. I am tired of people who do not think this is happening. I talk to my friends and they say, well there is voter fraud, really, did you know the governing bodies say they is a very small % in comparison to voter suppression. It has to stop, we have to communicate it to everyone, put a end to it.

Voter disenfranchisement happens nationally through long lines, polling stations that are too small, have little parking and/or are difficult to locate, unqualified or slow poll workers, poor line management and in many other ways. A National Holiday every November election day would 1. Close schools : this would open up schools to be polling places. 2. Provide poll workers on that day. 3.Proclaim that voting is essential to our democracy by being a national holiday. 4. Allow voters to come throughout the day, not just as polls open and after their work hours. This would greatly lessen lines.

The 2012 election had many incidences of verbal altercations between law abiding citizens, who were waiting to express their voting choices in our civilized society, as they waited at the polling/voting location and people who showed up just to harass them for exercising their constitutional right to vote. Current laws state that: "No person shall conduct ANY campaigning or electioneering for any candidate or ballot issues within 100 feet of the front door to any polling/voting location. Since the long lines going into many voting locations went far beyond the 100 feet limit, that is where the verbal harassing and altercations took place.

Recent elections have revealed imperfections in the electoral process that include eternal campaigning, an effective monopoly on public political speech by the two major parties, the warping of elections by the extremely wealthy, the protection of falsehoods in political discourse, and a lack of uniformity in the electoral process from state to state. Most importantly, however, the Constitution does not explicitly state that the people of the US have a right to democratically-elected representative government. This proposed Constitution amendment would eliminate these defects.

The fate of this nation depends on Liberals, Conservatives and Moderates working together to find solutions to our problems. Let Congress know that adults compromise and children demand to get everything they want.

The nation watched while House Republicans tried for the last four years to make President Obama fail, and in the process became known as the Party of No. This election cycle, due to Republican pledges and promises, they have also come to be seen as a party that favors the rich. Furthermore, the Republican's choice of Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney, a man whose honesty reasonable people do well to question, was rejected by the American people. Obama's clear win demonstrates that the majority of Americans want him to succeed in fulfilling the promises he made. He has a clear mandate from the people to make sure the wealthy pay a greater share and that taxes are not raised on the middle and lower classes, in addition to other mandates, such as the enactment of health care reform.

The American people have voted, and it is time for the people who are elected to Congress to stop neglecting their responsibilities for the American people and work with our President and help make this country better. We will not sit and allow the next four years to be sabotaged by hate, greed and disrespect. We, the American people demand that Congress stop playing with American people through childish games and represent our country by giving the American people what they want and that is to work with our intelligent, compromising and capable president and meet the countries needs.

Enough with partisan politics in Washington. It is time to get something done. I don't want to hear about the "fiscal cliff," I want to hear about how you are going to work together to prevent it. SIX BILLION dollars was spent on the 2012 campaign, and no one seems to see a problem with this? It's not about getting elected, it's about FIXING THE PROBLEMS this country has. Compromise is the only way to move forward. Name calling, finger pointing, etc. is a waste of time and taxpayer money.

I have watched as the highest percentage of filibusters in the history of Congress and our nation has been used as a punitive tool and political strategy by the radicalizing Republican Party purely as an insurance policy against any legislative progress and success by President Obama and the Democratic Party. Ignoring the will of the people, acting in opposition to their own historical support of compromise as a path to progress, and most disgracefully, disregarding the best interests of their constituents and the American people during a time of crisis, partisans in Congress have placed our country at risk and have jeopardized a financial recovery to advance their own specific agenda. Congress must act now to restore the power of the people, through its representatives, so as not to not be hostage to the 'ruling' party in Congress. Write your congressman NOW and let he or she know that you are tired of the 'stall' tactics and want to get things done immediately to move our country forward.

We have all seen just how much lying goes on during the campaign season. There is no reason for it and it is misleading the public. We have plenty of avenues for verification of these statements.
