Koch Industries billionaire David H. Koch is the wealthiest man in New York City, with a net worth of $40 billion. His fortune is built on polluting the climate system, from tar sands oil, pipelines, and petrochemicals. The rising seas and superheated oceans made Hurricane Sandy into a monster that has caused about $30 billion of damage to New York. Constructing a sea barrier to defend against future sea level rise will cost another $10 billion. Not only has Koch Industries dumped billions of tons of carbon into the air, David Koch has spent hundreds of millions of dollars promoting climate deniers and Tea Party ideologues who fight regulation of carbon pollution. David Koch should immediately pledge his entire fortune to pay the government of New York City for all necessary repairs and investments to guard against future sea level rise and fossil-fueled storms. If Koch refuses, we will take action to shame him and expose his New York City philanthropy as a sham.

Congressman Camp has voted with the GOP over his entire 10 terms. He voted to cut funds for FEMA, the agency charged with quick response in a national emergency like Hurricane Sandy.

In the wake of Hurricane Sandy, we've seen just how important FEMA is to Americans who suffered through the disaster. And yet, Congressman John Campbell has voted to cut funding for FEMA disaster relief.

The devastation in the wake of Superstorm Sandy focuses attention on the necessity of federal disaster aid. State and local governments would never be able to absorb the entire cost of clean up and the rebuilding of infrastructure that will be required for those in the path of this historic storm. Lawmakers such as Congressman Ryan who put political expediency ahead of victims of natural disasters need to rethink their priorities.

It is time that we focus on building the infrastructure within our country and not throw away precious resources building more naval ships and ammunition and arms that will kill people! Let us prioritize our resources and do what does the most good for our people - jobs, healthy economy and health for ALL!

Yes, the law is too vague and does not protect lakefront property owners in the way it should.

Tell Paul Ryan that dramatic cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (food stamps) in place of reducing military spending is unacceptable.

My husband and I are 33 years apart in age. He has COPD and we are currently on Social Security. Once he passes away my son and I will only receive about half of what we are receiving now. But, that will be only until my son turns 16, then we will receive even less. I have been with my husband 18 years. I would like to pass a law that widowers and their children should receive full benefits. Not only will I lose my husband, I will be losing benefits too. This is not fair.

I would like to see full retirement from social security at 62 not 67 . I think it should be up to the person whether they keep working or stay retired. Many people are worn out in their early 60's so lets get the retirement age down to where it should be.

Taking care of the homeless. Whether they be WAR VETS....young families....young single people. It's time we start taking a look at the local population around the local towns. There isn't one able bodied person that can't do something to earn their keep. In fact to take it one step further; give them an ID card in which they have to check in at a local office to show their progress and that they're serious about getting off the streets. Give them basic jobs to contribute to their mental well being as well as their physical well being. Let them earn points/credits towards their potential new found freedom from poverty. There are way too many empty store fronts that could be put to good use to feed the homeless as well as host them for the night.

I live in Ohio and resent the fact that he'd exploit homeless folks in our state for cheap political gain. Its not fair to them, our state or the St. Vincent de Paul Society for his shenanigans. He should be ashamed. I have had relatives who were homeless, and I have received food from a food bank once. Good people go there who don't need phony's using their pain to get elected.

Mitt Romney has failed time and time again to mention our Veterans. At this point, it is obvious that is a conscious decision. He has not mentioned his stand on veteran's programs. Veterans Health Care is big budget socialized medicine, is this the cut that he is going to use to balance his budget. I believe that he and Ryan plan to voucherize Veterans Health Care and that is why they are not interested in Veterans they see them as part of the 47% that are on the dole. Force Romney to state his position on Veterans Health Care and the budget. This could be a deal breaker for Veterans and that is why he avoids it.
