When the supreme court voted the corporations were people and could then contribute unlimited amounts of money to political campaigns they created a corrupt system destroying our democracy and turning our goverment into a bought and paid for political circus

The US has been run and controlled by money and political power for far too long. It is time for the people, all the people, to demand that election law removes, "Most Money and Most Powerful groups win"! Time to change, money and the exposure it brings wins elections! Equal expenditure requirements during political elections.

Overturning Citizens United decision of the Supreme Court. When coporations have unlimited funds to spend on campaigns, the democracy is lost. We all lose.

Disabled veterans who are non-custodial parents and provide little or no support for their children are entitled by law to receive disability benefit stipends for these children, just because their name is on the birth certificate, though they do not support the children. Also the custodial parent is not entitled to any of these funds if the veteran says there is a hardship. How can they be entitled to federal funds for children they are not supporting?

Let's elect congressmen/women for six years, a senator for twelve and a president for eight. They cannot stand for reelection. In any election year they can be removed from office with a 75% vote. Big money would have less influence, elected officials more lattitude to learn and shift their perspective and vote with accumulated wisdom (we hope).

Why should these organizations enjoy tax exempt status? In order for there to be a clear separation of church and state, they too should pay for the network of publicly funded infrastructure, they too rely on.

This applies to elected officials. I believe that before any congressman or senator votes on a bill, they much sign a pledge that states that they have read the bill and they understand what the bill will do. It would cut down on the size of bills being introduced.

Its a prime example of big business in government here in texas. it is another tool used by big business to force people to buy insurance or else. they say obama's healthcare plan would require a person to buy health insurance, this system will ensure you do the same with auto insurance which is way more expensive for most. I think its unconstitutional and the insurace companies here in texas are padding the pockets of the officials for implementation of the program, here is what is quoted on the site" TexasSure Vehicle Insurance Verification Can't Afford Auto Insurance? We can all think of other things we’d rather do with our hard-earned money than pay insurance premiums. But if you’re going to drive, you owe it to yourself and everyone else on the road to be insured. If you’re in an accident (and statistics point to a one in three chance you will be), having that insurance card will make your life a whole lot easier. By the way, did we mention that the law requires you to carry insurance? It’s true, but you only have to carry liability insurance, which pays to repair or replace the other driver’s car and/or pay for their medical expenses in the event of an accident. (Liability insurance does not pay to repair or replace your car or pay for your injuries.) The minimum liability insurance required in Texas covers $30,000 for each injured person (up to a total of $60,000 per accident) and $25,000 for property damage. So, how do you get insurance? The following links will take you to documents that can help you on that quest: " this is crazy, if we are required to by auto insurance why not healthcare?

Republican Chris Smith has been in Congress (NJ 4th District) for 32 years and we have had 32 years of increased spending, continuing deficits, and ballooning national debt. You can't change Congress without changing the Congressman. He is one of the impediments to getting anything done in Congress. (See www.froelich4congress.com )
