Bases in Africa. (Africom)

I would like to see the United States put aside a day as a national holiday to honor and celebrate Native Americans. It is the least we can do to pay tribute to a people who have lost so much and been so mistreated by the immigrants. This is a day in which all Americans study the history and customs of a venerable people.

I do not have dental benefits anymore, and I cannot get any care except emergency care. If a person has bad teeth it could lead to other health problems later in life and more medical bills whereas preventative care and dental benefits/dentical would help low income and disabled people like myself to get their teeth fixed and the proper care we as people need and deserve. Thank you

The impact to our economy by allowing Sequestration to happen at the end of this year. This would effect every American as it would devastate our economy, and add another 1.4 million workers to the unemployment roles.

national holidays, getting out the vote

Pleaseeeee forgive student loans to us the one who are on the street because we lost our houses, our jobs and all what we have. Do you have any idea what it means when collectors call at my job to harass me because I don't have the money to pay? It is not my faulttttttt. My kids and I are just waiting for the sheriff to knock at my door and tell us get out!!!!!

Section 501(c)(3) of the IRS code describes what the government considers to be an eligible nonprofit, religious group. "A tax-exempt religious organization is a legal entity or vehicle created and operated exclusively for religious purposes, no part of the net earnings of which insures to the benefit of any private individual, no substantial part of the activities of which is carrying on propaganda, or otherwise attempting to influence legislation, and which does not participate in or interfere in any political campaign on behalf of any candidate for public office."

Voter Intimidation laws must be enforced by the government. The recent attempt to intimidate the employees of Westgate Resorts not vote for Obama or their jobs may be in jeopardy and previous attempts by some religious organizations to excommunicate parishioners that vote for Obama must be investigated .

DEBATE PRESENTATION;I AM INVOLVED AS EVERY OTHER AMERICAN! SHOULD THE DEBATES BE PRESENTED BY A LIE BEHIND A GRIN OR FEISTY ACTIONS NOT TELLING THE TRUTH!

Many home owners are underwater on their mortgages and banks refuse or the process is to lengthy and too convoluted for many home owners to trust it will be helpful. Many home owners need help re-negotiating the terms of their loans, and while they say there are many programs out there, they tend to be no more than piece meal appropriate and results are, at best, minimal. What we need is for government to help home owners with substantial programs that force banks to re-negotiate in a timely manner.

Congressional approval ratings are at an all time low, and with good reason. Between 1947-1948 President Harry Truman's infamous "do nothing" Congress enacted 906 laws—ours has passed a mere 173. The promise of a lucrative future as a lobbyist makes elected officials ignore the needs of the people while catering only to fat cats and special interests. I feel as though my government does not work for me, and that Congress has lost touch with America. This has happened, in large part, because the revolving door has turned it into a farm league for K Street. It's time for Congress to return their focus to the common person and take seriously the job we elected them to do.

In the past, daylight savings time has not saved any time nor money. I say we go back to basic and regular (sun) time. I'm sure savings on utilities will be noticed.
