• Retirement benefits for elected officials
    As we talk about the national budget and cutting spending, I believe that the taxpayer is forgetting about the bill we are paying for officials who have either lost an election or simply just retire. I believe they should be responsible for some of thier own costs after leaving office.

  • Let's abolish the Electoral College
    The electoral college is an outdated system that is both no longer necessary due to a more informed populous and interfering with true democratic decisions in America. United States' citizens should vote in direct democratic elections in which each voter accounts for a single vote, and where it is up to the people directly to decide the fate of their politics.

  • Cut Spending Cut Congress Pay
    Congress lacks common sense to do whats right for the nation. They need to be held accountable to those who elected them. This can be accomplished by punishing them through their paycheck . Let the first budget cut be their pay for poor performance. Make a difference today, let your voice be heard.

  • Reform US Senate Filibuster Rules
    The US Senate rules need to be changed to encourage bipartisan debate in order to conduct the people's business. All Americans have suffered from the inability of Congress to reach consensus in a timely manner on important issues. Part of the problem is time wasted in the Senate by increased rigidity on procedural questions and escalation of the use of the filibuster as a way of impeding legislative progress. There is still a window of opportunity, but only a few days left, for the Senate to change the rules for the new congressional term.

  • Your national forest is being traded-away
    In the past, when the Western Pacific Timber corporation was granted ownership of public land they developed it for summer homes and/or ranchettes. If this happens you will see "No Trespassing" signs the next time you go fishing, hunting, camping or hiking at your favorite location on what used to be public land.

  • Who sponsors add-ons?
    As a liberal Democrat, I am just as concerned about the games our politicians play as rabid right-wingers are. The add-ons to the Fiscal Cliff bill and the Sandy Relief bill infuriate me. I believe we should demand to know who the sponsors are for any earmarks to any legislation.
