With all this talk about cutting into State worker's and now Railroad worker's pension funds to feed the political machine, the question must arise: What about Politician's pensions? Anyone in the workforce, be it State, Union, or otherwise, pays into their own pension fund which they can not draw from until they reach retirement age. This is NOT an entitlement for them. Politicians, on the other hand, receive a lifetime pension for serving a single term (4 to 6 years in most cases) which is funded solely on our tax dollars! It is time we stand up and demand that these "public servants" give up their pensions first!

We can scale the multiplier from the local level to the highest office. For example if a govenor of a state is found guilty of a crime committed while in office the multiplier can be 1.1, a senator 1.5, the president 2.0.

Impose term limits on congress. Limiting terms on members of the house and senate will stop them from becoming career politicians and and spending more time trying to get elected rather than doing the country's work.

This court has and is continuing to rewrite the laws and Constitution heavily in favor of the one percent over the rights of the people.

The quickest and most effect way to stop corruption in our politics is for the American people to insist on reforms to their relationship with their political representatives.

The notion of any position in government running for life is an idea which should have died with rule by monarchy.It invites a tyranny of the few affecting all. While an independent Court is best for all, a wholly unaccountable Court serves no one.

At a town hall meeting in Newport last Thursday, Governor Paul LePage accused Maine state employees of being “about as corrupt as you can be.” I agree with Republican State Legislators Roger Katz and Patrick Flood and others who have called on Gov. LePage to apologize. Public workers do important work for all Maine people. For Gov. LePage to call them "corrupt" is baseless and insulting to every public worker who has dedicated their lives to making Maine a great place to live, work, and raise a family.

Abolishment of affrimative action for eqaul opportunity of all americans not just certain people. The past is the past lets not punish the future generations with the past. As a minority having to work in another state in a professional position cause of Affirmative Action this is wrong.

Privileges congress has voted for themselves, English as our National language, immigration and religion.

While the Congress passes no bills, saves no money and talks about tax cuts in programs that help American citizens, they are doing NOTHING to cut waste, fraud, and mismanagement in government agencies. In many cases, they are protecting their power base. In many cases, they form oversight committees who have no real power to enforce the rules they are supposed to oversee. THIS HAS TO STOP!

After seeing a news story today about law makers who lease very expensive automobiles at tax payer expence, I believe we need to be heard. I believe that they should leases out of their bloated salaries. I also believe they should have medicare as their health insurance. It should be set up with the same quide lines as our medicare.
