the children of alabama's education is becoming self funding to ease this problem our state needs to join other states that boast of the millions of dollars that the lottery has sent to educate their children

I think it has been proven time and again that there are certain elements within our government that have made it clear they don't want to make decisions that move government forward. Instead they just want to stomp their feet like children and pout every time they don't get their way. That being the case, John Boehner seems to be a special case in that he has become the representation of government gridlock. I don't care what side of the political landscape you stand on. We are seeing with Boehner a man that has several times said that he is willing to sabotage our government system to get his way. Impeachment would send a message that we demand action from our government, and we will not stand any longer for government gridlock that makes the average American suffer while congress continues to get paid for inaction.

Solution to our hemmhoraging Debt-Crisis

....Voter picture-fingerprint ID all 50 states

What is the purpose of pretending that we have a representative form of government when big money is allowed to continually subvert the democratic process? Personally, I once thought my vote was a partial buy in to this process, in addition to my responsibility to be a good citizen and participate in between elections by letting my representatives be aware of my opinion on key issues. But lobbies are an end-run around this entire process, producing disenfranchised citizens, apathetic voters, and on the extreme side, separatists who actively oppose the system.

Currently, with a few exceptions, virtually any amendment can be attached to a piece of legislation at both the Federal and State levels(there is at least one state that has a restriction in place). The intent of this petition would be to create necessary laws to prevent this from happening.

Mr President, and Representatives of the People--House & Senate, Please accept our bread and butter request to continue to support us with unemployment benefits that are due to expire December 29, 2012. Unemployment is not an entitlement; it is an insurance; a fund we paid into! The latest report is that the extensions will create 300,000 jobs! One dollar of unemployment is re-invested in the community $1.60. Some of us will end depending on other social support, the end result of which will be the government still paying. We need a profound solution and not band-aids. The meager payments end up spent on survival bills and are still helping the economy! A fellow person affected explains to me that she is going to college for special ed and she was cut off at her last semester; these cuts are affecting a lot more people than just the unemployed. Personally, if I do not land a job by the end of the year, I will be homeless. Please ask your information services how much I have contributed to our beloved nation!!! Or look me up in Who's Who or the 100 Most Prominent Women in the U.S.A.! Respectfully, Alkistis Von Gizycki

Save Colorado Water, stop fracking

A soldier fights in many combat zones (obtaining medals) making many sacrifices for OUR COUNTRY over the past 26+ years and then suffers from mental and medical issues. Tries to retire and receive disability. ALL DENIED for himself and his family. Paperwork lost ?, or was it a misplacement on purpose?S Rumor has it that the base Colonel thinks PTSD is for the weak minded. Maybe the combat has made the solider's mind weak? Procedures not followed? The military does what it wants, when it wants. Soldiers records are owned by them and can be altered. Help stop the deceitful ways. Give the soldiers and their families what are due them for the sacrifices they have made for all of us!

How do the courts transform a stay-at-home parent into a parent who only gets to spend every other weekend with the kids? The California Family Code contains a presumption of "shared custody," but fails to define what that means. As a result, judges routinely assign one parent primary custody and limit children to spending 4 days or less per month with the other parent. If a judge feel it is in the best interest of the child to spend less time with one parent, the judge should be required to specify what steps the noncustodial parent needs to take in order to be granted equal time with the child.

Congress has until December 31 to make a critical and historic choice. They can ask the richest 2% of Americans to pay their fair share, or they can put more money in wealthy pockets at the expense of the struggling middle class.

Gas prices had increased significantly 3 months before elections because few companies control it. Look at the stock of Tesoro which has gone from about $11.00 to about 41.00 in last one year. Difference between wholesale and retail prices was about 40 cents in NJ. The difference during the 3 months before Nov. election was about 1 dollar. The consumers were defrauded by gas and oil cartel.
