The government is not adequately setting up my generation for success, in fact quite the opposite, they continue to add on debt which my generation will have to pay for and they can't seem to get anything done. Since this directly affects myself and my generation I should be granted the ability to run for President in 2016 despite the age requirements. The Founding Fathers put that into the Constitution because they thought that the generation in adulthood would look out for the generation following them and also didn't think that any of what the government would do would directly affect the younger generation. We are a democracy and that means everyone should have the ability to run for political office, especially if something directly affects someone like this outrageous debt and poor leadership does my generation.

I spent one-on-one time with the girls and had the horrible first-person experience of seeing what goes on in and out of the establishments. Facebook.com/projectianao

In the decision making process for immigration reform, the benefit that immigrants provide to the U.S.economy must be recognized! So we pledge to shift our buying power from national to local stores from November 1st to December 1st in support of just immigration reform.

The goal is to stimulate private enterprise success, job growth and entrepreneur education. Many small businesses fail as a result of lacking federal support.

Our children and grandchildren are being deprived of quality education and social skills, that limit their overall life experience. Funding cuts, unfair funding distribution and school closures doesn't allow our children the opportunity to be a positive or active citizen in our community's and our country.

Government shutdowns cost us a lot of money (approximately $24B for the most recent shutdown Oct 1-16, 2013), disrupts average citizens' livelihoods and lowers our economic output. By keeping the current budget until another one is agreed upon, the government should not have to shutdown while Congress works towards consensus on the next budget.

Every day in America, there are 24 to 25 million children living without fathers in their homes. Having a father in the home, it is a proven fact that children will obtain better grades, achieve higher education levels, and are less likely to engage in criminal activities or consider suicide. And the list goes on. With your help we can put an end to this horrible pandemic that is having such a negative impact on our country.

"We the People" cannot permit those among us - potent with pure hatred against others and hell bent on destroying our democracy and government only to make a comeback of creating a government with their limited, & restrictive ideology - where the freedoms of the minority greatly diminishes the freedoms of the majority.

Over the first 110 years of American history, corporations had no claim on the birthrights of human beings. They operated profitably and thrived. However, 127 years ago an unelected Supreme Court declared them equally entitled to the rights intended for real, natural persons. As a result corporations have abused the privileges granted them by their charters and year after year have claimed more human rights. And year after year this body of politicians in black robes has restricted our ability to claim those same rights for ourselves. As the 9th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States makes clear, We the People are sovereign. We the People have rights. Corporations and other artificial entities created by law have no rights. They have only those privileges we choose to give them so they may fulfill their purposes and meet their responsibilities to We the People.
