My sister Virginia has been deaf since childhood and now as an adult she is in another state away from her children and friends and up until now has had the ability to communicate with them with the Relay Services for the deaf. Now the FCC wants to charge for usage of this service. This is outrageous. Americans with Disabilities Acr requires that people who are deaf have access to same quality of telecommunication services as people who are able to hear.

Congress needs to see what it feels like to be in the shoes of the average American Citizen. They have misused and abused their power far to long. We as Americans need to take a stand against those that have repeatedly used and abused this power, and endanger our way of life.

Examples of voter supression during the past four presidential elections have become almost commonplace, whether the recent case of Pennsylvania election officials enacting new voter ID laws or the case in Ohio where election officials summarily reduced early voting days just prior to the election. Whether it is being done by Republicans or Democrats, it should be prosectuted as a federal crime.

During the campaign the President relentlessly spoke about the fairness of the upper middle class paying more taxes. Many people in this group that I know are dedicated individulas who work long hours almost 7 days a week for more than 30 years! So, I am asking the President to show fairness to these citizens and the needy among us by being prudent in spending peoples hard earned money,

The filibuster rules in the U.S. Senate stand in the way of everything we, as MoveOn members, want for the country. Let's pressure the Senate Democrats to revise the filibuster rules on January 3, 2013 (by simple majority) to ensure that EVERY legislation or court/cabinet appointment going forward ULTIMATELY gets an up-or-down vote. This change will restore SOME semblance of democracy in an institution that has only 10% public approval. Republicans should support this reform as well. If elections are won fairly by one party or the other, the agenda supported by that majority party (either Democrat or Republican) should be voted on and, if approved and implemented, the results of that legislation can then be fairly judged by US voters in future elections.

Reform of the Federal tax system.

I will loose my home because of corrupt lawyers

We give our tax money to foreign countries where they hide telabon terrorists and our country is going bancrupt and people are starving.

Increase Medicare solvency by offering Medicare coverage to people of all ages at one reasonable fixed price. NOT required participation, but a choice to participate which will remove fear of a so-called Socialist program as well as help spread costs of current expenses over a larger risk pool.

There is a bill moving through Congress to allow over 20 federal agencies the right to read your email.

Profits from the exploitation and pollution of the commons is the driving force of the "socially enabled capitalistic system" that disregards Earth's life support systems in the equation. A failed paradigm from the past. Stop it.

There is a big debate on who will get a tax break and who will loose their deductions and who will get an increase in tax. You & me will only loose. No tax break, less deductions and bigger taxes. The fed needs a lot of pressure to pass this because their cronnies won't like it. They want their deals in the tax code. We can win with the Fair Tax.
