• End Gridlock of Veterans Benefit Decisions
    The Average wait for increase of Benefits is 4 years, sometimes 5. If the illness or injury occurs while in Active Duty the U.S Government has no right to force the Veteran to fight in court for the obvious.This wastes tax payers money and places a burden on the Honorably Discharged Service Member who suffers economically to carry the burden of Co-Payment fees in which She or He needs for survival. The current state of the system is a waiting game to see whether the Servicemember will pass away before recieveing the increase which will be used to shoulder the burden of pharmicudical costs along with Doctors and Dentists. I never would believe in my wildest dreams imagine that I would be begging the Government for my fair due while I laid in the Medical Sickbay suffering from an illiness which almost took my life in 2002.

  • Citizens United Decision
    We need to get the Citizens United decision overturned. This decision has opend the flood gates of money that can change an election by 'buying it' as what happened in Wisconsin. This decision will completely shut the door on people who WANT to bring change, but cannot compete because of outside money. If this continues... very simply put, the 'wealthiest' will have their representation, and 'working poor' as they are called now, will be left behind. Is that what our Founding Fathers wanted?...Is this OUR democracy?? I don't think so?...and as long as I have oxygen in my lungs, I will not stay silent when I see people 'buying' power in our country!. The right wing agenda has pointed out since this decision that the unions of the country, (what's left of them) can pour money into politics too...However, if anyone has paid attention, union membership in the private sector is almost disapated, the public unions are trying to hang on to what they have. However they cannot compete with the outside private $$$. If this continues, the right will have everything they have wanted, while the rest of us get 'scraps'. This is the most critical issue in our country... GET MONEY OUT!..OR LIMIT IT... to level the field. It should be about a candidates record/performance and qualifications, not how much money he can raise. Something has to be done, otherwise it will forever change the United States as we know it.

  • Public Campaign Financing
    A more pure democracy is possible with 100% public financing of every electoral campaign in the United States of America. Make the dire problem of the Citizens United sell-out and every lobby that does not represent an individual moot. Make them useless. Take away the re-election bank accounts from access by anyone but voters! True representative democracy has never existed, but it is possible if our 28th Amendment reads Public Financing of All Election Campaigns. My money my politician!

  • Robo "Political DO NOT CALL"
    In New York State and several states for that matter, "Do No Call" has been a hot button issue. They've made an exception to this law stating politicians can Robo call your home. They are claiming this is OK because it's "Freedom Of Speech"!

  • Cincinnati City Council
    The City Council has the mindset that they are not employed by the citizens of Cincinnati. They give us promises to get elected and forget about us once they get the job. Our community are crumbling and they support Private investors and their interest. If you want City Council to work for the Citizens that employed them please sign.

  • Stop Wars, Spend Those Dollars At Home
    US administrations and Congress spend billions of unaccounted dollars on Pentagon and its wars, while home front is totally neglected. This trend must be reversed, and more attention given to people at home.

  • Campaign Finance Reform
    It is about giving elections back to citizens. All corporate money should be out of politics. Campaigns should be financed through equal, small amounts added to every personal income tax and money should be distributed to candidates based on the number of citizens in their district.

  • Time Limit for Presidential Campaign
    The campaign time frame for President is too long. I would like to propose no longer than three months to campaign and limit the amount of money being spent on the campaign. This would pertain to both parties. With what has been spent so far on this campaign, we could have fed the whole world.
