What are we most proud of as Americans? In the wake of the most nonsensical death of 20 beautiful children, how should Americans stand as a country to the world and our children now?

I am on SSI and have a contract with the government, not an entitle ment. I paid for it. Obama is a brillant speech giver, he talks the talk but can he walk the walk?

The state of Louisiana is considering a budget that would eliminate all Hospice care to people covered by Medicaid and ending a program that largely uses federal welfare dollars to provide unique mental health treatment to very young children. More than 5,800 people received Hospice care through Medicaid in 2012. Eliminating the Early Childhood Supports and Services program will save the state only $134,000 for a program which receives a $2.7 million federal match.

This proposed amendment is a bit broad but the thought is on target Children of congress members do not have to pay back their college student loans. How nice for them! Monday on Fox news they learned that the staffers of Congress family members are exempt from having to pay back student loans. This will get national attention if other news networks will broadcast it. When you add this to the below, just where will all of it stop? 35 States file lawsuit against the Federal Government Governors of 35 states have filed suit against the Federal Government for imposing unlawful burdens upon them. It only takes 38 (of the 50) States to convene a Constitutional Convention. This will take less than thirty seconds to read. If you agree, please pass it on. This is an idea that we should address. 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. 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.

I am quickly reaching retirement age, and with having worked independently my whole life, I only have social security to depend on for funds with which to retire. The re-directing of social security funds to counterbalance previous inappropriate legislative financial and corporate mistakes are an overt insult to the American people and are tantamount to the federal felony of grand theft.

Congress: Cut your own spending (e.g., staff, pension, and medical plan) and adopt Social Security and Medicare for yourself just as the people you represent. Lead by example.

Congress has become an organization that works for itself as an elite membership, sometimes for life, instead of working for the interest of the American people who have elected them. We need to let them know who is, and should be, in control.

During the last election, dark money flooded the state, especially for the US senate race. Many of these contributions were made by non-profits that do not have to disclose their donors. I propose that any entity that spends more than $25,000 on political ads in our state must disclose their donors.

We can barely make it with Social Security and certainly do NOT need any cuts anywhere.

We, The People, can provide Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid for ourselves, our children, and our grandchildren. It's up to us!

any new gun control laws consider a tax on bullets. $1 per bullet - imagine the revenue! We could use that for health care. Numbers are difficult but a quick search is about 2+ billion bullets per year in the US not including exports. Even if its on “magnum” or bullets over X power or grains.
