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.

I was appalled by the amount of money spent by all candidates which could be used to reduce our deficit and, more important, help all our needed citizens and educational facilities. I also cannot see the campaign running for over a year. I believe that 3 months would be quite adequate and our candidates could continue doing their jobs instead of constant traveling away from their jobs.

Limit length of time citizens serve in US Congress.

In City of Clewiston currently the city commissioners choose whom the Mayor of Clewiston will be.It is prudent that the People of Clewiston get to vote for this position . They and only they should choose who represents them.

Limit length of time citizens serve in US Congress.

Don't give a break for Congress until they do their job.

I have listened to Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck and they create hateful and discouraging ideas and points of view. They make their money in trying to divide the country and create division. While everyone should be able to give their point of view, the other side needs to be heard so different points of view are heard and falsehoods corrected.

The electoral college was necessary when our country was founded. Now, with the widespread availability of electronic communication, the people of the United States should be able to vote on the basis of one vote for each person. That way, the "battleground state" debaucle would go away.

Congress is gridlocked and even simple ideas cannot get through the legislative process. Our legislators frequently "poison" good bills with unrelated items to either get bad ideas through the process or to prevent good ideas from moving forward. Lets change the constitution so that all items in a single piece of legislation must be "reasonably related".

The electoral college was established to deal with areas that were hard to get to. Now it is an anomaly. We have not elected a President, we have elected Electoral College representatives. The election for President should be based on a majority of the total vote, not on the Electoral College.
