I'm asking Governor Cuomo to please help the Democrats running for the State Senate who are Governor Cuomo to support the Democrats running for State Senate who are fighting for a “Fair Elections” system with public financing.

With vicious political attack ads whizzing across the country, and misleading lies being spread to the voting masses, it’s no wonder that the average US American adult feels disillusioned and distrustful of most politicians. Free speech was introduced by the first amendment to the US Constitution with good reason, but the ubiquity of “free speech” should not apply to issues that people get to vote on. Specifically, “free speech” should not allow for the mass distribution of lies, when it comes to voting issues. Some would say that it is the “opposition’s” responsibility to publically identify the lies, but how is this possible, when the “opposition” is not extraordinarily wealthy, or when many voters get all of their information from a single partisan source?

I am sick and tired of untruthful campaign ads.

If we changed the presidential term to one six-year term rather than two four-year terms, we could increase overall effectiveness of the president. By reducing the need for "re-election" tactics, we all benefit.

Attorney General Eric Holder: Investigate The Romney Family owning voting machines in OHIO and numerous other Swing States

We stand with CNN correspondent and Presidential debate moderator Candy Crowley against the onslaught of conservative outrage after she corrected a blatantly false statement from Mitt Romney during the debate. Allowing debaters to make false or misleading statements during televised debates does not further the democratic process.

The training of Chinese replacement workers in Freeport, IL at the Sensata Plant is wrong, and this has been happening nationwide. Under Chapter 11 of NAFTA, US taxpayers pay for all costs of training their replacement workers. That's all of us. We're now paying the cost of 170 Chinese workers out of our tax money

Mitt Romney has financial ties to some of the voting machines being used in the presidential elections and I'm concerned about the accuracy of the vote counts on those machines. There are no legal way for the public to recheck the accuracy of the vote counts provided by the machines. The public deserves access to the vote count to ensure the tally is not manipulated.

Mc Govern - remember him? he ran against Nixon - is laying dying - say a prayer for this exceptional men who has done more for for peace and democracy than any other government official then or SINCE then. Take note prevailing politicians learn from the past.

Advertising has become so invasive and negative that it is turning off voters. There should be a blackout on political campaign advertising 7 days prior to any election.

Earlier this year, Governor Cuomo announced his plan to limit the corrupting influence of big money on elections through a system of public financing. New York has an opportunity to take a stand against Citizens United, and make sure every voice is heard, not just billionaires and corporate special interests. But to win real change to our broken political system, we need a legislature that supports the Fair Elections plan. The Assembly already does. We just need to “flip” the Senate from Republican to Democratic control. George Latimer in Westchester, Cece Tkaczyk in the Hudson Valley and Ted O’Brien in Rochester are all progressive Democrats, running in competitive, open-seat Senate races who support the Fair Elections plan. Terry Gipson, Justin Wagner, Ryan Cronin and Andrew Gounardes are all running in competitive races too. They can win, especially with President Obama at the top of the ticket, but they need support. Gov. Cuomo is the most popular Governor in America. But in crucial races that will determine the control of the Senate and the fate of the Fair Elections proposal, he has been silent. Even worse, he has hinted that he might support Republicans. But there’s still time to act. Gov. Cuomo needs to stand and support the Democrats who are backing the Fair Elections plan. Gov. Cuomo: take a stand and endorse the Democrats who support your agenda.

I am tired of corporate America having it's way with our country & that polticians can be bought by them [corporations, lobbyists & special interests]. This is political prostitution! How is this even legal? Our country was founded "of the people by the people for the people. Let's bring that back!
