Mandatory Paper Ballots shall be required. Electronic voting machines are not to be allowed in any election, nationwide.

I went to two different McDonalds for breakfast wanting to hear a balanced review of the final debate. FOX News was playing in both places and when I requested the channel be changed the supervisor refused. I believe being force fed propoganda is dangerous to me and to our country. I called the corporate office and asked if this was corporate policy and the customer service rep would only reply "Each franchise has its own policies.' Ask again. Repeat standard reply.

Last week, the "Nuns on the Bus" went to Ohio, visiting local social service agencies and speaking out about how draconian federal budget cuts could endanger the poorest and most vulnerable people in our society. But when the sisters rolled into the town of Marietta, they were met by a crowd of angry right-wing protesters who called them "fake nuns" and wielded signs labeling their tour the "highway to hell" and "bums on the bus." Many of these protesters were recruited by a local Catholic parish, where the priest invited right-wing activists to distribute an ugly screed falsely accusing the sisters of "espousing radical ideology." Can you sign our petition calling on the local bishop to admonish this priest and make sure that no more church resources are used to spread fear and lies about Catholic sisters?

The Roman Catholic Bishop of Bismarck, David Kagan, has just issued a pastoral letter that echoes Republican campaign ads urging voters not to pick the "likeable" candidate and warns Catholics they can only vote for candidates who oppose marriage equality, abortion rights, and even stem cell research. But now State Senator Tim Mathern, a practicing Catholic, is courageously demanding that the bishop withdraw the letter, citing church teaching on the primacy of conscience and the bishops' official guidelines on avoiding partisan activity. If we can demonstrate huge grassroots outrage before the letter is read at Mass this weekend, the bishop might be forced to withdraw it -- and we can send a powerful message to other church officials across the country who might be tempted to abuse their positions for partisan political purposes in the final days before the election.

all swing states should be hand conted, every election.

There are many Diabetics in this Country! A PARTICULARLY Large Number of us are Insulin Dependent! The Insulet Corporation in Bedford,Ma 01730,tel#1-800-591-3455! The CCO is Peter Devlin! This Insulin Pump is easy to use! You can take a shower with it on,you can swim with it! Many of the other Pumps on the Market are a living nightmare for women! These other pumps have a syringe that is filled with insulin a particularly long plastic tube hangs down and one wrong move and it it's dislodged! These other Insulin Pumps cannot be worn in the tub,or the shower or a swimming pool or lake! The US Congress assigned the Code Numbers:PodA 9274 & PDME:0784 therefor the Omni Pod cannot be covered by Medicare because the assigned numbers make it a disposable item

I would like to see full retirement from social security at 62 not 67 . I think it should be up to the person whether they keep working or stay retired. Many people are worn out in their early 60's so lets get the retirement age down to where it should be.

A referendum should be proposed to eliminate the Electoral College and permit citizens to elect the President and Vice President by a simple majority vote.

Healthcare Providers are not required by law to post their prices. Thus, e.g., a patient cannot know the cost covered for an X-ray. it is vital to know how much a patient may have to put out him/herself.

The vast majority of U.S. citizens in Puerto Rico participate in every electoral process. Normally, 70 to 80% or more of the registered voters actually vote every four years. The current Republican Governor is up for re-election and has not had a very effective term. Even as he recognizes that the people of PR are fed up with his mandate, he has expressed that he will be re-elected no matter what. This governor is already famous for working for a few and forgetting about the many. As an example, the Governor has used these past four years to give out contracts to people that paid for his current and past electoral campaign. I know of one of his friend's that used to flip burgers and now has a four (4) million dollar contract for professional services. Puerto Rico needs the intervention of the President of the United States. Elections are in just a few days, and we believe that the elections will be subjected to unwanted practices as a Power Company Strike has commenced today and this will probably be a good excuse for an electoral sabotage! They had been negotiating with the government for approximately 10 years and now starts a strike. This would not be the first time that an election would be stolen/sabotaged by the Republican back New Progressive Party.

Health Care I am finding it hard to pay for ever increasing health care costs even though I have worked for over 50 years. I think congress should have to be given the same choices that the American people are. They do the voting. if this was the case, we would save money and they would vote for better care for us all.

A Child (13 years old) Was assaulted by police officers in Philadelphia ,beaten for 2 mins(facts in written report). His leg is in a cast,and he has several lacerations and other non life-threatening injures to his body and face. This Child also has Autism. Footage in which a police officer appears to punch a woman after she threw something toward a group of police is causing controversy and outrage. ABC News reports, the Philadelphia police are investigating. I respect Police officers of Philadelphia who protect and serve this city well. I understand that their job can be a thankless one. They risk their lives everyday to hold citizens accountable for their actions and bring them to justice. Who holds them accountable for their actions The improper detention and unwarranted arrests,as well as the merciless beatings and injures received from officer's,sworn to protect and serve MUST TO STOP!
