Regardless of which political party you support, I know you want your vote to matter. With the current system for electing the President, the truth is that not every vote matters. Delegates and states are deciding who becomes President. Once a candidate receives the magic number of electoral college votes, the will of the people in the other states becomes meaningless. That is not democracy! It is possible to quickly count the votes of the entire American electorate, and starting with the 2016 Presidential election, that is how we should elect the President. Please sign my petition and make every vote count.

I am a retired Federal Employee. My insurance premiums remained the same even though Medicare became the primary provider. Medicare should become a secondary provider, not a primary provider.

Many voters can't vote during the week, because they're working. Ohio's Republican secretary of state finally agreed to early voting, but only during the week during office hours. We're asking U.S. Rep. John Boehner to ask Secretary Husted to require boards of elections to have weekend and evening early voting hours so working people can vote.

Religious institutions and persons do not pay taxes. I am an Atheist and do not receive tax exemptions for my beliefs. Taxing religion and their property would eliminate the national debt and be more fair to the middle class.

The state of North Carolina should open an investigation into whether the Republican-backed firm Strategic Allied Consulting engaged in voter registration fraud. Strategic Allied Consulting has been accused of filing fraudulent registration forms in nearly a dozen Florida counties, and may have done the same in North Carolina.

Secretary of State Kris Kobach has been double-dipping, collecting his pay while pursuing a side business of writing and defending legislation against undocumented immigrants for other states.

It has recently been announced that immediately following the first debate, Mitt Romney plans to go to Hong Kong to hold a fund raiser for people in another part of the world to make their wishes known in the Presidential election. This should be, if not illegal, at the very least highly questionable if not immoral, unethical, and un-American. It is probably not the first time funds have been raised in another country, but it should be the last.

The lead opponents of Washington marriage equality have invited Rick Santorum to help them raise money for their efforts next week. Yes, you heard that right -- Rick Santorum. This is someone who has spent his entire career insulting and degrading gays and lesbians every chance he got. Same-sex marriage? To Rick Santorum, that is literally the greatest threat to homeland security. These guys aren't moderates. They don't respect loving gay and lesbian couples and their families. They're extremists, pure and simple. They are way, way out of the mainstream. Let's tell Rick Santorum to stay home and keep his right-wing bigoted views to himself. Join us now and help us send a message before his two events next week.

With the level of traffic ever getting worse and aggressive driving on the increase, I would like to see Maryland update their Traffic Laws to what 44 states in the US already have and have the left lane of highways just for passing and slower traffic stay to the right hand lanes. In the 26 years I have been in MD, I have seen so much aggressive and dangerous driving as drivers speed in all lanes and make risky lane changes to get around these slower drivers.

Update Maryland's Trafic Laws to what 44 states in the US already have and have the left lane of highways just for passing and slower traffic should stay to the right hand lanes.

Corporate robocalls that annoy the entire country with impunity despite so called do not call lists.

Republican congressional candidate Brad Staats posted a picture of his gun on Facebook with the caption, "Welcome to Tennessee Mr. Obama," and we are demanding that he take the inappropriate post down.
