Bain Capital is closing Sensata to ship their jobs to China. They even took down the American flag and made workers train their replacements! Mitt has a controlling share of Bain Capital. Tell him to save the jobs at Sensata and prove he can be tough on China. If he doesn't that tells us what kind of president he will be.

GOP candidate Chris Boedeker, with financial backing from House Speaker David Ralston and Speaker Pro Tem Jan Jones, produced and distributed a false campaign ad attacking State Rep. Scott Holcomb’s honorable military service. The attack ad was so filled with false accusations that Boedeker cancelled his planned purchase of television time to broadcast the ad in District 81. But the attack ad was funded, in part, by the House Leadership’s contribution to Boedeker’s campaign. Virtually all of Mr. Boedeker’s campaign funds have been donated by Republican elected officials. We are asking Speaker Ralston and other members of the Georgia House GOP leadership to stand on the side of Veterans and denounce this malicious political attack ad.

The PA Department of State is continuing to run ads on TV and radio saying that voters have "to show it", meaning photo ID, on election day. That requirement has been ruled nullified for this election, but they continue to run these ads, with the only slight change in script: "You will be asked (but not required) to show a valid photo ID". The way it is delivered is underhanded and violates the spirit of the judge's ruling. I am calling on the PA Dept. of State to stop running these ads immediately.

Following the attacks on the US on 9/11, there was a rush to judgement that misled our country into 11 years of war that has no end in sight and that has cost our country more than 12 trillion dollars. It also led to an all out assault on the US Constitution, and as a result, our civil rights have been sacrificed on the altar of national security. New facts show that we were misled by the official 9/11 account and that a new investigation must be initiated.

The Department of Justice needs to investigate allegations of widespread voter registration fraud in Nevada. One man reported that Voter Outreach of America destroyed Democrat's registration forms, and a video showing a Strategic Allied Consulting operative asking Democrats to register as nonpartisan.

I am tired of corporate America having it's way with our country & that polticians can be bought by them [corporations, lobbyists & special interests]. This is political prostitution! How is this even legal? Our country was founded "of the people by the people for the people. Let's bring that back!

I want to see our country come back to how it was founded. Of the people by the people for the people! It's time to get rid of political prostitution! How is it that our politicians can be paid off by [corporations, lobbyists, special interests] so they can have their way with us & our country!? How is this even legal?

The benches in front of the Apple Barrel bar on Frenchmen Street have been an institution for years - going back even before music was happening on the street. It is a place where the locals can sit and talk, and take in the spectacle. It was always common to see the great Coco Robicheaux and Jimmy May holding court there, as well as many New Orleans notables including Uncle Lionel, and many, many others. Apparently the benches were taken away in order to discourage homeless people from gathering there, but we feel that these benches are an important cultural institution, and there are better ways to deal with the situation. Please bring back the benches and help us enjoy Frenchmen Street.

My two children attend one of the best charter schools in California. The school recently delivered a 974 API, the second highest test score in the state. The Oakland School Board has begun the process of closing the school because it did not respond fast enough to a request for corrections after an audit. The school began work on the corrections and asked the School Board for an additional 30 days to finish the corrections. The school board said "no" to the request and instead initiated the school closure process. This decision will impact 1,200 families in Oakland. It will also deprive Oakland of 1,200 of the brightest students in the entire state of California, as measured by testing. Watch this 2 minute video made by the students, to see what's so special about this school: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMSHCht4qb4 note: You might have to cut and paste the link into your browser.

There are many people affected by huge student loan payments. Lowering the APR of the student loans would help alleviate the burden of repayment.

Provide a wage based Tax Credit for any company or individual that provides employment to any legal resident of this country. This credit would be applied to all existing employees, any hired in the future and would effectively lower tax rates for job creators and create a larger working tax base of employees. This provides incentive to keep jobs in America and for foreign corporations to locate to America. This credit would be based on wages from $0-$250,000 on a sliding scale without industry preferences.
