• End the 2% Bush Tax Entitlement
    My husband will go into an assisted living facility next week. It will cost 3/4 of our total income per year. I will live in our home on the approximately $20,000 left over. We both will be 85 next year. A few thousand dollars makes the difference of our paying our own way or looking for some entitlement from the government. Recent graphs showing the up turn for the top 2% of the country as the buying power for the middleclass has declined at almost exactly the same rate is a stark indication that tax cuts for the rich are NOT incentivies to providing more jobs.

  • A Budget Cut that will help the Country
    In today's system of politics, too much money is used in the wrong places. The top priority should be to help our Country get back on a fiscal balance. There are a number of places where cuts can be made that won't affect the People and will help to encourage politicians who are interested in the Country and not their pocketbooks or special interests.

  • The Fiscal Cliff
    I feel that most Americans are tired of politicians not working together. I am particularly tired of the wealthy not having to pay their share. If there are cuts, the wealthy have to give up equally. I will be retired soon. Congress needs to worry about the people in our country and not re-election.

  • Legalize Medical Marijuana
    I have MS and I have not found anything that helps me to relax and forget the constant discomfort and pain as much as Marijuana. It is the only thing that allows me to get a restful night sleep. But putting my views aside it has been proven that it helps many people with Cancer, Authorities,Etc.and many states have already seen the benefits. Let catch up with the rest of the country and stop letting our friends and relatives suffer needlessly.

  • Pass S.2010 to repeal unfair reduction of Social Security benefits for teachers, police officers,...
    S.2010, the Social Security Fairness Act, will repeal the Government Pension Offset and Windfall Elimination Provision (GPO/WEP). The GPO/WEP unfairly reduces the retirement benefits earned by public employees such as police officers, teachers, and firefighters. Public employees, like myself, are now suffering from lower benefits because of the unfair GPO/WEP provision.

  • 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.
