This is from an interview with Warren Buffet that seeks to remove some of the problems that are caused by the House and Senate. By making Congress follow the same rules as the American people, I think that changes in policy will be more swift, more fair, and less susceptible to lobbyist pressure.

The use of the filibuster rule, as now being practiced in the US Senate is creating governmental paralysis at a time when The United States of America faces many challenges, the global Great Recession, rising oil/gas prices, environmental challenges, and educational decline. The American People MUST have a functioning government now more than ever and reforming the filibuster is one step towards fulfilling that need. The filibuster should not be eliminated as it protects the minority from a potentially oppressive majority, but it MUST be reformed.

Please consider financial support for the Wisconsin recall effort.

The the misuse of the Filibuster is allowing an obnoxious and unprincipled minority to hijack our democracy. The effects of this are causing great loss and unnecessary suffering to a large number of people. New rules need to be established to get our Democracy working again as the Founding Fathers intended.

Let's remind politicians that they were hired to work FOR THE PEOPLE: MANDATORY INCREASES IN LEGAL PENALTIES NOT LIMITED TO FINES OR IMPRISONMENT ON ALL ELECTED OFFICES IN THE UNITED STATES

The recent Amendment to the N.C. Constitution was presented by the sponsrs as a "definition of marriage only". In reality, this Amendment is an attempt by the republican Party to disband any union except the marriage of a man and woman! The AFL-CIO Union, International Brotherhood of Eletrical Workers Union, Teamsters Union, and dozens of other "unions" are now illegal in N.C. and may face prosecution! This may even extend to the Alliance credit union, Corning Credit union, State Employees Credit Union, and of course this applies to the 75 year old man and woman who have been living together for 20 years w/o paying the state for a piece of paper stating their love for each other is legal!

As a Wisconsin progressive working day and night to recall Scott Walker, I'm shocked: The DNC still isn't giving financial support to the recall fight in Wisconsin. After more than a year of grassroots efforts, Wisconsin citizens have accomplished more than anyone thought possible. We now have a Democratic challenger to Scott Walker who is neck and neck in the polls, even though Tom Barrett is being outspent by Walker's millions from out-of-state donations. There is no more time for the Democratic National Committee to wait—if Walker wins, it would be a huge setback to Democrats in races across the country this year. We need the DNC's support immediately!

Wisconsin's Recall Effort.

I just watched the Ed Show and want to express my thoughts! I think that the Democratic National Committee must invest in Wisconsin's plight against Scott Walker and do it now! I am a Democrat and I do not understand why we all are not helping to get rid of this "First Destructive Governor" that is so against the people of Wisconsin with his Lies to Congress, Diane Hendricks and the American People about how he planned to break up the Unions.

Honesty in Political advertising.

Surcharges are fines assessed by MVC on an annual basis for drivers who have earned points. The citizens of this state has paid enough. This process started in the mid eighties and should be abolished. Surcharges are in addition to any court fines/penalties

Our Congress is deadlocked and nothing is being accomplished.
