Credit issuers have arbitrarily set cutoff times on one's payment due date that can result in much ill-gotten revenue that might otherwise be stimulating the U.S. economy. For example, Citi Bank cuts off at 5:00 p.m. EST. I paid my bill on the due date but at 6:00 p.m. CST; and, as a result, I was charged a $20 late fee and $1.01 "interest". It's easy to forget that a particular card has an unusual cut off time, like that of a gas company who's cutoff time is 3:00 pm. PST.

Get Congress to eliminate their lifetime pensions and health coverage.

Millions of people live on their Social Security benefits and cannot live with a cut these. They also rely on Medicare . They have nowhere to turn if these benefits are cut. There is another way to add billions s to the U.S. Treasury:stop oil and gas subsidies!

All Americans have been affected by this issue. We can't call OUR Government a DEMOCRACY with SuperPacs being the Law.

We have an opportunity this year to expand Yosemite National Park by hundreds of acres, just in time for the 150th anniversary of Yosemite’s original Land Grant. This expansion will restore beautiful forest land that was stripped from the park and given to loggers, miners and the railroad industry long ago. Only Congress has the power to expand Yosemite National Park: With the leadership of preservation champions like Sen. Diane Feinstein, we can get this done in time for Yosemite’s 150th birthday.

We have all been affected by the inability of Congress and Senate to do anything.. we are always approaching finiancial cliffs because they refused to do their elected jobs. If we refused to do our jobs we would be disiplined by our employers, wrote up, funds withheld until the tasks were completed or fired. The Congress and Senate are looking for ways to cut spending-- then I know how this can be done-- If we have an inaffective Congress/Senate their pensions, and pay should be targeted. For example, they lose staff, cars, paid vacations,etc. , and all this "much to do about nothing" would hopefully cease.. We are paying them to do a job and they are not performing. Americans need recourse-- let's affect their pay their incomes like in the real world.

Get Perry out of the governorship of Texas and get someone in who believes in education and human rights.

Making Hurricane Sandy victims in New York and New Jersey wait for aid by eliminating their $60 billion in relief from fiscal cliff bill, saying "they can wait" is reprehensible AND the last straw! He has no business being Speaker of the United States House!

My husband and I are both former school employees and were promised a decent pension after retirement. At this point, we have not received a COLA for ten years. Medical expenses and many other items have increased in price so we cannot purchase what we used to. In the meantime the legislature have seemed to enjoy their COLA but have done nothing to help their former teachers, etc. How about looking into this to see what can be done.

I am sick of my vote never counting, tired of all the money of canidates being spent in a few swing states. My vote should be as important as anyone's

Over processing times

In 2003, I filed for divorce. I wanted it to be amicable but little did I know there is an industry out there that makes millions of dollars from the misery of others. What happened next set off a chain of events that included fraud, back door dealings, and sometimes direct violations of law and constitutional rights by court officers. In the end I went over 7 1/2 years without seeing my son. I have met other men, women, grandparents who also lost relationships with their children. There are millions of noncustodial parents who have lost the relationships with their children due to corrupt and biased court officials and social agencies intent on keeping your case a part of the system to ensure future income for their industry. Research shows this is major factor in most of the social ills in society today (behavioral problems, drugs, teenage pregnancy, teenage suicide, dropouts, etc.).
