• Mr. John Boehner Listen to the majority and not the 2%.
    It is time to work with the president regarding the taxes for the wealthy. They can certainly afford to pay their fair share. The president is not raising their taxes but ending Bush's Tax Cuts for the wealthy. It is high time that is stopped.

  • Televise Senate Dem Caucus Debate on Filibuster
    The filibuster has been abused and that abuse has paralyzed our government. When the American people worked hard to overcome right-wing SuperPAC money and elected a Democratic Senate, it expected action. There can be no hiding behind closed doors. We want to see who votes to change or eliminate the filibuster and who does not.

  • Defeat Mitch McConnell in 2014
    It's time to rid the Senate of someone worked the last 4 years to "make Obama a one time president." He has obviously failed. We need Senators who represent the needs of their constituents and are working for the benefit of all of us, not their own personal agendas.

  • Social Security Reform
    As a CPA I am amazed at how few people know that social security tax applies only to the first $110,000 of earned income. Even though this "cap" will rise in 2013 to a little over $113,000, people don't realize that higher income earners are only taxed on this amount and that any amount they earn over the cap does not have to pay social security tax. Removing the "cap" and taxing all levels of earned income would go a long way to mitigating any shortages in the social security trust fund in the future.

  • Ashley Judd should run for Mitch McConnell's Senate seat
    Very simple, Mitch McConnell is hell bent on stopping democrats from making any significant progress on any substantial issue and has brought Congressional business to a screeching holt by utilizing the dreaded filibuster. He must be challenged and Ashley Judd is democrats best shot at taking him down!
