President Obama, I am tired of the obstructionism by the "Party of No"! Do not negotiate with the Republicans--allow us to go over the "financial cliff." By automatically turning around the Bush Tax Cuts, we have a clean slate and can then resurrect cuts for the middle class, and re-instate the social programs we really need, without giving in to Republican whims. Let's vote them out in 2014 if they won't help.

Pass the Oil Extraction Tax

The issue is justice and peace in Israel/Palestine. I believe it is a humanitarian problem for all people.

Following Hurricane Sandy, thousands of people have been left homeless. Many families did not have flood insurance an as such are not eligible for FEMA. Because of the severity and widespread devastation resulting from this storm, consideration should be made for the situations of those families who have been deemed ineligible for disaster assistance.

We need better Public Transportation in The Bowie area of Prince George's County. We have limited transportation and limited transportation time schedules, this effects me personally because I do not drive I must depend on Public transportation; I am also disable I feel that we have a County Bus that does not even run in this area yet is all around this area. We also need longer hours and extended days. Better Public Transportation will ease the traffic problems, we can have cleaner air, and will provide better revenue for this area and Maryland in general. Elderly will be able to get to there shopping better and with the bus coming though the communities the Elderly will not have so far to walk and will cost them less then "Cabs, Metro access, etc. The roads in some of our communities are in bad need of repair and some of the major road could stand some repairs these conditions need to be address soon so they don't become worse.

Animals Asia rescues moon bears from the torture of crush cages the bears are kept in 24 hours a day for years in order for bile farmers to extract the bile from a permanently inserted catheter. Please help end this horrific practice.

Americans celebrate all of the things we're grateful for on Thanksgiving. But the very next day is a testament to the opposite, celebrating greed and dissatisfaction with what we don't have. "Black Friday," has become violent in recent years, and people are now regularly dying needlessly. Why don't we continue our celebration of Thanksgiving an extra day by donating our time to helping others, rather than engaging in "Black Friday" madness? Join me in signing the petition, and share your thoughts and suggestions.

Most Americans retire by age 62 and with early Soc Sec beneifts. Why because they cant work longer due to physical and also mental changes that have a great deal of effect on employement in a rapidly changing High tech world. And Medciare helathcare cost are lower than for proft private helathcare, so rasing Medicare age increases helathcare costs overall. I have advanced degrees in Chemistry, and also I'm a retired CPA. Yet by age 60 I was hit with neuro surgeries, worn out knees from sports and years of working 70 hour weeks w/o vacation in my own companies. When we had to close down our business after an illness, unemployement for those over 60 was 60%. Living longer on pills, pace makers and etc., does not mean people can work longer and there are simply not enough Wal-Mart greeter jobs! Getting rehired even after age 50 is difficult. Deficit reduction should be about things that add to the deficits, which neither Soc Sec nor Medicare do. They are funded by their own P/R taxes and by law cant add to the deficits Changes should be made at the P/R tax area as Reagan did..

Wall Street campaigned to put its candidate in office and lost. Now it still wants to prove it runs Washington by blocking Elizabeth Warren from the Senate Banking Committee. This is Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's decision, and we should let him know that we want Warren on the committee.

Every member of Congress, upon defeat or retirement, even after only one term, is presently entitled to a pension of full pay for life. They should receive the same as anyone on Social Security. The same rules should apply to them as apply to everyone else

Tell the U.S. Senate, just say "NO!"... Where does it stop?!?
