Our taxes, waste and fraud proliferate while our elected officials do nothing. This is adversely affecting every man, woman and child as well as future generations and our nation's world standing.

Congress passed the Sequester, they can repeal it. It's as easy as that. Then we wouldn't be facing these draconian cuts to our most still very fragile economy.

Keith Olbermann is the progressive movement's best spokesman. Now that current TV is gone, he should be free to be re-hired by MSNBC.

On Oct. 9, 2011, a crash on U.S. 12, east of Bell Road in Niles, MI. claimed the lives of 1-year-old Devin Stone; his father, Curtis Stone, 50, the driver of the family's car; the child's mother, Stacey Garza, 35; and the baby's grandmother, Kathleen Marks, 57. Cecilia Cheney, 44, received 90 days in jail and was ordered to pay $800 in fines and costs based on her earlier no-contest plea to four counts of moving violation causing death. This accident was the result of Mrs. Cheney taking her eyes off the road. She looked down at her purse on the passenger's seat, which indicated she also may have reached to grab the purse or retrieve something. She was also driving 67 MPH in a 55 MPH zone. This woman took four innocent lives all the result of her carelessness and all she received was an $800.00 fine and 90 days in jail.......what do these innocent families now get to suffer through without their loved ones? These laws need to be changed for Michigan, this isn't justice at all!!!!!!

Each winter season the Illinois Department of Transportation,( IDOT ) hires temporary workers, (highway maintainers) to help with winter operations, (i.e. snow removal, etc.). But when it comes time to hire for full time, permanent employees, IDOT will not hire any of the temporary workers unless they are veterns. There are hundreds, if not thousands of dedicated temporary employees, like myself of 9 years, who should be given a fair chance to be hired as a permanent employee. We are well qualified and already trained to do the work.

There is an obvious surfeit of guns in America.I propose the formation of an organization funded by donations to buy and recycle excess inventory found at pawn stores, gun shows, and from private parties.

When Governor Kasich took office he took away our right to have union representation. In doin that he took away our right to bargain for better health care and he cut the pay of 7,000 Independant Home Health Care Aids along with Independant Day Care Workers. Since Governor Kasich says the state of Ohio is doing so well I'd like him to restore our pay. Cutting our pay by 26% he's cause a LOT of hardship for a lot of Independant Home Health Care Aids and their families. A lot of us used to spend some of that money on our clients, which we haven't been able to do.

Wage theft affects millions of Americans across this country. From Blue collar workers to white collar executives. It is also a subject many want to ignore. Many of these employers like to cut corners competing and don't want to pay taxes. They also don't want to take financial responsibility and go down with the ship when they start having problems with their business. Oftentimes they need all the help they can get so they get their employees to invest into the company without the employees permission. They don't pay their employees on a regular basis. They continuously lie to their employees. Many of these employers belong in jail. I know because I was one of those employees. Make these employers pay because the employees shouldn't have too. It is just good business.

Verizon routinely steals the PAID-FOR data of its customers simply because they can't use their data without going over their allotment plan. For instance, I regularly must NOT use about 350 Megabytes of my PAID-FOR data at the end of the month, in order to avoid getting charged a $15 penalty for going even 1 kilobyte over my plan. This data disappears forever because Verizon does not rollover this unused data to the next month. This is made worse because Verizon's data reporting is delayed by over 12 hours, and a customer can only roughly estimate their actual data usage.

The residents of Marbella Lakes and surrounding communities are opposed to the Whippoorwill Road extension. Although we were advised that this plan was designed to help the local area, we feel it will do much harm. We believe this road will create dangerous traffic situations, environmental issues with the additional polluted runoff from the road into our lakes, potential of increased risk of vandalism, create noise and environmental pollution, and jeopardize the safety of our children.

The Congress has shown us in the recent past that they have no interest in working for the people but are only interested in political warfare. No action is an insult to American citizens and the democratic process. For this inaction, they should be required to donate half of their salaries this year and each year, day or month they are stalemated. If they don't work, they don't get paid.
