Wall Street bankers with Ivy League pedigrees can manipulate an $800 trillion interest rate market and destroy the lives and livelihoods of millions of good, hardworking people around the globe, and not go to jail or anything. But if you get caught with a joint, you are thrown in jail and you get a record. Creating a system a more just system ought to be what democracy is about rather than who can plunder the commons. This election season is full of the most cynical and sinister pandering that I have ever seen in my life.

Paul Ryan has long wanted to ban access to abortion even in the case of rape -- this is equivalent to being raped again. To take away a woman's control over the consequences of being raped reflects an extreme lack of compassion. Does this man have a heart?!

I believe that Barack Obama set a precedent by being forced to show his birth certificate. Due to his integrity by sharing it, I believe all candidates for President, House of Representatives, and the Senate of the United States must follow suit and show the American public their birth certificate. This way we can decide if it is real or not.

Trying to find the truth in all the political rhetoric.

Nevada's ranks third in number of uninsured, one out of four Nevadans have no medical coverage for emergency services, yearly checkups, wellness exams, etc. These are working, unemployed, and self employed individuals without health insurance who pay taxes. Stop blocking federal funds for health insurance.

/" The results of the presidential election is determined by a system that no longer reflects the will of the voters throughout our nation.Since computers are able to count accurately the popular vote they should be used exclusively to fairly decide our next president.

Well I'm a student at York College. Recently their been changes to our tuition, now we have to pay a part of our tuition. I had to pay $123.00, towards my bill. I was very un-clear about this change. I was used to having Tap and Pell cover this part. This made things a bit hard for me because not only I have to pay for this also my daughter's day care. It is getting a bit expensive because I also work at a minimum wage job that does pay as much. I'm struggling to go to school and work because I still have other bills to pay. I thought Finical aid can ease the stress by paying this portion it will make life a lot easy. I'm worried about other students does not have a jobs How are they going to pay for school ? Even worse they have to pull out a loan!! This could effect one's credit and life!!

On the one hand, Americans - and humans in general - have benefited enormously from zero-emission nuclear energy. On the other hand, the waste that could plague us for millions of years combined with nuclear proliferation make it a sharp, double-edged sword. How about looking at thorium-based molten salt reactors? We can get rid of 100% of the long-term waste left over from conventional nuclear energy. Plus, with the molten salt fuel acting as its own coolant, it's not plagued by the one issue common to all the safety problems we've ever had: using very high-pressure water as a coolant. It's about the same price as coal: 2 cents per kilowatt hour. Finally, it burns up all the nasty, weapons-grade material that is harvested from conventional nuclear energy. Let's give it a shot!

I would like for the Democrats to fact check all speeches made at the 2012 Democratic National Convention. This will show the Democrats as honest when they criticize the Republicans for lying.

I am concerned about possible voter suppression. Therefore, for voter ID, if you voted in a prior election, whatever the method of identification that was used by you and accepted; thus allowing you to enter the voting booth to mark your ballot and to submit your vote, can and will be used as your voter identification in perpetuity. That is, you grandfather the voter, much as we do in most cases when a standard is revisited and or revised. And, to eventually lead to a standard nationwide ID; at reaching the voting age of 18, people must register to vote, much like the process which was in place when we turned 18 and registered for the draft in the fifties. That gives an individual anywhere from one to four years to acquire the needed voter's ID before election time.

I would like to suggest that rather than a 4 year Presidential term of office, with the option of a second 4 year term, we change to a single 6 year term with no second term option. I belive that first it would give a leader and his/her team a chance to initiate changes and have enough time for the policies to mature and perform during their term. Further, it would eliminate the (typical) two year period of campaigning for a second term, that cannot help but detract from quality management of the public's business as our national leader. I also believe that it might dramatically reduce the escalating financial cost of our 4 year election cycle.

National Elections occur on Tuesdays. This is a work day, making it difficult for working people to vote. Let's make it as easy as possible for EVERY citizen to vote. Let's make Election Day a National Holiday.
