For too long we have been too complacent about the workings of Congress. Many citizens had no idea that members of Congress could retire with the same pay after only one term, that they specifically exempted themselves from many of the laws they have passed (such as being exempt from any fear of prosecution for sexual harassment) while ordinary citizens must live under those laws. The latest is to exempt themselves from the Healthcare Reform that passed ... in all of its forms. Somehow, that doesn't seem logical. We do not have an elite that is above the law. I truly don't care if they are Democrat, Republican, Independent or whatever. The self-serving must stop.

Governor Scott Walker has not officially made a decision on whether he will accept new federal dollars to expand the state's Medicaid program. If he rejects these funds, over 200,000 Wisconsinites will be uninsured. Tell Governor Walker to accept federal Medicaid dollars and protect the over 200,000 Wisconsinites that would benefit.

Governor John Kasich has not officially made a decision on whether he will accept new federal dollars to expand the state's Medicaid program. If he rejects these funds, nearly 700,000 Ohioans will be uninsured. Tell Governor Kasich to accept federal Medicaid dollars and protect the nearly 700,000 Ohioans that would benefit.

Governor Rick Snyder has not officially made a decision on whether he will accept new federal dollars to expand the state's Medicaid program. If he rejects these funds, nearly 350,000 Michiganders will be uninsured. Tell Governor Snyder to accept federal Medicaid dollars and protect the nearly 350,000 Michiganders that would benefit.

I understand that redistricting is sometimes necessary as populations grow, but unfortunately a lot of redistricting is taking place these days and not for the reasons that it was initially intended for. Redistricting for political gain, known as jerrymandering, affects what parties control the House of Representatives, it could also affect other elections as well. This is a democracy for and by the people, and the people’s votes should not be tampered with in any way no matter what party they belong to.

Yes. I'm an immigrant, got my citizenship in 1965. I believe it will help other immigrants in becoming solid citizens, and getting even footing - to the American nation's benefit - in this ' land of opportunity.'

I am concerned about the safety and well-being of families which are at risk of being torn apart by the broken immigration system. By keeping families together, Congress can help immigrants to integrate quickly, invest in local communities, and support the U.S. economy as taxpayers and entrepreneurs.

Unionization is on the decline across America. Unions gave us the weekend, fair wages and relative income equality, unions helped end child labor, unions won widespread employer-based health coverage, and unions spearheaded the fight for the family and medical leave act. It is time we do something for unions.

Both Senator and the President have agreed on a set of guidelines for a bipartisan immigration reform. Now we have to push the Congress and the President to make this a reality.

Yes, I have been affected, but this issue is also about the millions across this country who have been affected by the fraud. It is despicable especially since the banks received our Tax dollars as a bailout for assisting homeowner's across.

The undocumented population, who came here to work and not be criminals, have been marginalized by immigration laws and enforcement policies. This approach is perpetuated by the language of today's immigration reform discussion: "harsh penalties", "the end of the line", no pathway to citizenship until the borders are sealed, and the reemergence of EVerify. We must stop the criminalization of those who have been captured in the dragnet of enforcement to allow them to remain in this country with their families.

I know quite a few of undocumented worker's who have tried endlessly to become US citizens, with hope for a better life.
