America is a nation of values founded on the idea that all men and women are created equal. We hold these truths to be self-evident that all people have rights, no matter what they look like or where they came from. So how we treat new American immigrants reflects our commitment to the values that define us as Americans. We believe that families should stick together, that we should look out for each other, and hard work should be rewarded. Everyone agrees that the current patchwork of immigration policies and programs is mismanaged and broken, and it breaks up families. For those currently striving for citizenship, there's often no line to get into for becoming a fully participating American. Aspiring citizens move here for the promise of freedom and opportunity in this country, and we believe that moving to make a better life for your family is one of the best things and one of the hardest things a person can do. That's why all Americans who love this country very much deserve a common sense immigration process, one that includes a clear and uncomplicated roadmap to citizenship for new Americans who aspire to be citizens.

On November 19, 2011 68 year old Kenneth Chamberlain Sr. was shot and killed by members of the White Plains Police Dept. He accidentally triggered his life aid pendant which he wore around his neck because he suffered from COPD and a mild heart condition. He had committed no crime. The entire incident is captured on audio. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5MSP48NH4U Part 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUwNHZr_nUM Part 2 When acting under color of law the City of White Plains and its elected officials have made it very clear through the lack of a criminal indictment in this case that it is ok to mock, taunt, use expletives and call a man a nigger before killing him and that the word NIGGER was used as a tactic to distract the victim.

Bike sheds are a convenient way to keep bikes safe. New York City should install more of them.

Some 1/3rd of all land is desert, and most of the 920 million people living in or near those deserts are on the "brink-of-starvation." A number of current conflicts were caused by hunger issues.

Even after America have spoken, it's obvious John Boehner still has a hidden agenda. He need to be investigated then removed from being the Speaker of the House because he is doing a terrible job. Even when he is losing support from his own party he still is showing how big of an ass he can be. Boehner is part of the good old boys club which have died years ago. He is not concerned by this country he has proven that again and again.

too much money wasted in trying to influence elections, total campaign spending from all sources should be no more than what the office salary is for one year.

The "fiscal cliff".

ELECTIONS FOR FEDERAL OFFICE

I am a Federal Government employee stationed in South Korea and have a military ID card so I can enter the bases, commissaries, and post exchanges, on the bases. My same-sex spouse has been denied an ID card even though "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" has been repealed. This means he can't shop on base to buy groceries and his personal needs at the PX. He must wait in the car while I stop. This is total discrimination toward spouses of gay employees.
