I am apalled that Members of Congress could allow themselves to be held hostage by one man. Who is he anyway? Folks: DO YOU REMEMBER THE MCCARTHY ERA. Let's walk with our President for the good of the people and do not pander to one man's self-gloating and ego. You will get more respect.

Voting preference is a right by all Americans. Nevada should hold companies and businesses responsible for firing individuals based solely on who they vote for in an election. Lets show the country we are NOT going to tolerate this behavior. Enough is enough.

I want to legalize this oil in North Carolina so that many people who have serious illnesses and disabilities can finally have a chance of being healthier and happier.

Our Childrend Education should be Top Piority. Why would you guys want to always make cuts on fundings that will effect the Education system. Teachers are alraedy using there own money to help fund the education for our childrend and you guys want to take more away. STOP the Madness and TAKE THE MONEY FROM THOSE WHO CAN AFFORD IT. The RICH!!!

I think that the Congress should start with themselves if they want the AMerican people to swallow the bitter medicine that is needed to cure the economy. The changes that are necessary to avoid falling off the fiscal cliff will be hard to accept, but if the legislators start by giving up some of their perks, the American people will fell better about accepting the necessary changes and realize that our Congress may truly interested in the good of the country, not just their own good. They need to ask"Is this for the good of the majority of the people?" And if so, vote for it. I am tired of all the game playing and self love from this body who is supposed to be governing for us.

Restore the independence of Hawai'i!

Repealing an amendment so a President can run for a third term

Economists across the country agree that to avoid the fiscal cliff and balance our budget, we must decrease spending AND increase revenue. Congressional research reports have clearly shown that lowering taxes on the wealthy does NOT boost the economy or grow jobs, it only increases the income gap between the rich and the everyone else. Democrats and the President have listened to this expert advice, and propose raising taxes on those who can afford it: Americans making $250,000 or more. For almost 20 years, Republicans have fervently opposed raising taxes on anyone, regardless of the financial state of the nation. In 2011, only 0.7% of Americans made $250,000 or more, and paid less than 25% of their income in taxes. To oppose generating revenue by raising taxes on this tiny fraction of the citizenry that can afford it is to hold the country's financial future hostage for the benefit of a select elite. By signing this petition, you will tell your two Senators and House Representative that you support raising taxes on the privileged 0.7% to help balance our budget and avert the fiscal cliff, which is certain to devastate the entire U.S. economy.

Large contributions to political campaigns and candidates are essentially totally unproductive wastes of money. This could be changed if large contributions were required to be matched by equal contributions to the Federal government, specifically to reduce the national debt.

The only way that I see the people of the United States getting the Country back is to stop the Congress and Senate from being a Career.

Stop Hobby Lobby from enacting their desire to "choose" for women their access to birth control. All women could be effected by any court decision.
