Limiting the number of terms congress & senate can serve to two terms, the same as the presidency. We have the most unproductive congress in the history of this country and they have proven why these angry old men should not be in charge of anything. This group of old angry birds are not concerned about the betterment of the country but a power struggle with the president. Limit their terms so that we can always have people willing to work for this country.

It was recently reported that more than 1,967 students under the age of six have been suspended from school - and that's just in the schools that have reported. The trend was extreme in a few charter schools like Achievement First Hartford Academy Elementary School, which reported 114 suspensions last school year out of a total school population of just 430 students. No child that young should be excluded from school. Such a punishment is inappropriate. We should be trying to help young children learn, not excluding them from the classroom. We need to make it clear that this practice is unacceptable and set an example for other schools. Demand that Achievement First Hartford stop suspending students so young!

Legalize cannabis and tax like alcohol or cigarettes

In order to provide a plentiful supply of money, Congress needs to stop borrowing every dollar into existence and stop allowing banks to create and control the money supply. The interest we pay on the debt from borrowing this fictitious money is enough to feed the hungry and reduce poverty, crime and homelessness. The borrowing of money from banks puts We The People in a position where Congress will never pass a law that's in OUR favor, let alone jail any bankers like Iceland did. This plutocratic system is the primary cause of rising prices, high unemployment, foreclosures and eroding civil liberties. Monetary reform now!

On May 22, seven brave women - six of them grandmothers and all victims of the foreclosure crisis - conducted a peaceful sit-in at the entrance to the office of the Covington & Burling law firm, one of the major representatives of Wall Street banks in Washington, DC. The Covington law firm represents mega-banks like JP Morgan Chase and Bank of America and maintains a “revolving door” with the government officials who are supposed to hold Wall Street accountable. U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, who testified before Congress that the banks’ huge wealth made them too difficult to prosecute--is a former partner of the Covington law firm. And, after years of failing to bring charges against a single executive at the big banks that crashed the economy and threw millions into foreclosure, Lanny Breuer, the top prosecutor at the Department of Justice Criminal Division, returned to his former employer, Covington, where he will make $4 million a year representing these very same banks. The big bank executives who wrecked the economy and stole millions of homes through illegal foreclosures continue to walk free. Hard hit homeowners and communities still wait for relief. But this coming Tuesday, June 11th, the U.S. Justice Department is set to press charges against the grandmothers and home defenders who momentarily blocked the revolving door between their government and the Wall Street’s favorite DC law firm. Please tell the Justice Department to prosecute Wall Street, not the Covington Seven Home Defenders.

President Obama has announced three nominees to fill critical vacancies on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, widely regarded as the nation’s second most influential court. We can't let Republicans filibuster and get away with more obstruction! This isn’t just about GOP senators obstructing the D.C. Circuit. It’s about ALL the federal courts, including the Supreme Court. And it’s about confirming executive branch appointees like labor secretary, the head of the EPA, and the director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

My husband is affected by the furlow, while the taxpayers pay for the IRS employees (and I am sure others) to take "team building vacations". Think of the total cost of all the Governement Departments that do this.

1) Public funding, equal money 2} No negative campaigning 3} Six weeks of campaigning only

Light Rail is necessary for cutting back on fossil fuel and reducing carbon dioxide in our atmosphere. It is an easy form of transportation. We need High Speed Rail to connect our towns and cities. I am a commuter and want to see progress in our infrastructure.

Student debt and Elizabeth Warren's great idea to lower rates to equal what banks pay, until congress can figure it out....(ya know, because they are so busy protecting the wealthy, corporations and banks)!
