Now that Obama has a second term, we need to pressure the White House to "cut a deal" with the Congress to reduce the debt facing this country. This will necessitate raising taxes on those making over $250,000, as well as figuring out ways to cut out unnecessary federal spending.

I had to let my retirement home go because it became a toxic asset. It was a decision of spend all my retirement money to save my home or spend my retirement money to take care of myself.

Bank said "NO WAY", foreclosed, THEN SOLD MY HOME TO ANOTHER PARTY FOR , you've got it, $ 270,000!!!

Don't give a break for Congress until they do their job.

Griffon Pond Animal Shelter's Humane Officer Jessica Best refused to take immediate action to remove 4 malnourished and sickly Weimaraners from their owner in Moosic, PA that has had prior animal abuse charges in the past. Tracey's Hope Animal Rights Activists went to the District Attorneys Office to get the dogs removed - Together with the federal prosecutor and Moosic Police Dept. the dogs were removed. This humane officer did not do her job. Other people had to do it for her. We want this shelter and ALL shelters to know that we won't tolerate "heads turned" on any form of animal abuse or neglect. Least of all from a Humane Officer that is PAID to do this job. Its taxpayer dollars paying her salary and she doesn't deserve to hold this position. We are outraged! We want Jessica Best F I R E D! And Griffon Pond Animal Shelter held accountable!!!!

At least people wouldn't have to reschedule their whole day of work and other house hold tasks to try to make room for time to vote. The time at work would be free to vote so at least every body had a reasanable chance to get to vote even where the lines are long.

On Tuesday America watched as long lines of people waited a very long time to vote. Some people were not able to vote because they could not take the time off from work to do so. Making Election Day a federal holiday would alleviate some of the issues we faced on Election Day.

We are seeing the ineptitude of LIPA's management here on Long Island in the aftermath of Sandy. Bring a strong organization in to reduce our costs and better communicate with us. This should be the first step in rebuilding long Island's power grid. We ask the Governor to take bold action.
