House Corporate Mouthpiece John Boehner recently blamed the American people for the devisiveness in Congress, a gross act of political cowardness and hypocracy and certainly a pathetic abrogation of leadership. In marked contrast the U.S. Olympic athletes have shown the power of teamwork. They have also exemplified the ideal of sportsmanship, enthusiastically congratulating the winning athletes of other countries.

Payroll deductions were taken from my salary at the applicable rate when I worked in Corporate America. The last 10 years of my employment before retiring were teaching with no SS deductions. Upon retiring, my SS benefits were reduced by 40%. My retirement benefits collectively are very meager and the 40% reduction does not leave me enough money to live on so I must continue to work even though I am over 70 years old.

Companies like Black Water and KBR and the new names that have now changed to are still responsible for wasting American Tax Dollars. We want our Taxes for war to go to Military only.

In 2000 and 2004 The Florida Presidential elections were in the spotlight of the enitre nation. The pathetic pictures of election workers strugling to decipher the chads,etc.was pathetic and embarassing to the state of Florida. Now the 2012 election is upon us and I have no confidence in the Florida voting system whatsoever. With the recent attempts to "avoid voter fraud," I am futhere concerned that each vote must count. Please provide the voter with a physical copy of his completed ballot as he leaves the polling site, then if there has to be a recount the voter will be able to produce his copy to prove his choice without calling on "chad hunters." The cost of providing a copy should not enter into consideration in such an important issue. The Floridia debacle 2000 still resonates strongly here in Florida.

My 15 year old daughter was killed in a car accident due to texting 2 1/2 yrs ago

Amend the U.S. Constitution to require direct election of the U.S. President.

not more than a maximum of 100k shall be spent by, of or for any candidate, issue or issue supporting a candidate or legislation in any of our elections or legislative processes.

Congressional Compensation. Their enjoyment of maximal largesse DOES affect every economic and sociopolitical aspect of my and my family's and friends' and neighbors' and ALL Americans' lives!!!!!

I'm tired of paying huge amounts of money for our congressional representatives to maintain a second home in DC when I can barely afford to pay for my one. Not to mention the exspense of them flying home frequently. Let's bring our congress into the 21st century by having work from "home" and telecommuting to work. Lobbyists are the only ones who really benefit from having our representatives in one spot.

Right-wing elements in the state government have been working for months trying to hijack democracy in Michigan and prevent people from voting on repealing PA 4 aka the emergency manager dictator law. Nearly a quarter million voters signed the petition, the state supreme court ordered it on the ballot and now the right-wing is trying to revive a repealed version or create a new one to subvert the will of the people at the ballot box.

It has become clear that Term limits must be imposed upon members of both Congress and the Senate. .

Most all current polititions are puppets to various Big Money. Both parties have become corrupt. Save the 99%!
