The US Military, in an attempt to "control the weather", is spraying deadly chemicals into the atmosphere. These chemicals affect me as well as others with Multiple Chemical Sensitivities and Environmental Illness. This spraying also affects crops and makes it a challenge for "organic growers" to maintain chemical free produce. Times of sunny, clear days when spraying occurs can result in me having to use a walker to get around; time spent hooked up to my O2 machine; and time confined to bed. We deserve clean air.

We are pulling resources from the earth in a non-sustainable way. As software is constantly being upgraded, older printers, computers and more are no longer supported and often replaced and discarded. We need more backward compatibility, upgradability and the ability to repair rather than discard.

The entire country is affected by too many cowardly and/or "Republican Lite" Democratic leaders in congress. We need a new party that will support progressive Democrats and work against the others. Harry Reid's hypocritical failure to move forward on filibuster reform, along with a number of other Senate "Democrats", is all the evidence we need to demonstrate the need.

This would state that no member of the white house would be able to give themselves a raise without raising minimum wage standards.

There is NO ACCOUNTABILITY in Government, so there is NO CREDIBILITY in Government. Internet is part of the Commons (air waves)

One state has already banned fragrances in public places because of how they affect people with Multiple Sensitivities and Environmental Illness. I should have the right to go to the doctor's office without having to go out and sit in a drafty hall to try and avoid another patient's "perfume". Perfume exposure, for me, led to 15 minutes of waves of sobbing followed by times of quiet. It is a challenge to lead my life bombarded by chemical others think make them "smell good".

Get rid of the electoral college. Stop gerrymandering. The present system of counting votes has resulted in candidates winning without the majority of the popular vote.

Hunter Bates, a longtime aide to Sen. Mitch McConnell, donated $3,000 to McConnell’s campaign in December while he was on contract with pharmaceutical giant Amgen to lobby on “fiscal cliff issues,” according to recently released FEC reports. Soon after, Amgen received a $500 million dollar windfall in the fiscal cliff deal that was negotiated by Sen. McConnell. We are calling on Sen. McConnell to return all donations from Amgen and its lobbyists. We cannot let corporations win sweetheart deals with campaign donations.

Oil and gas companies have tax advantages from Master Limited Partnerships, that are not by law available to renewable energy developers. The MLP Parity Act would level that playing field and provide a source of investment capital for renewable energy development.

Over and over the voters have had to fight for the right to easily register; the right to vote early; the right to vote by mail; the right to vote without ID poll taxing. And because voting is handled by the states, districts and counties, it has been a piecemeal fight; gaining ground in one area and then losing ground in another. It is time that there were national minimal standards for voting. A minimum number of early voting days. A minimum percentage of polling places based on population. A national voting registry to ease the registration process and take it out of the hands of partisan interest groups. No one should have to stand in line for hours to vote. Voting should be easy.
