Remember when Iraq voted and came away with the Purple finger to signify the fact they voted. They turned out in overwhelming numbers, Every Middle Eastern Country allowed to vote do so in overwhelming numbers. So do any country other than the United States of America. I propose some type of recognition readily seen to acknowledge those who cast their ballot. Be it Democrat, Republican or Independent. At least they voted.

Ethanol is bad for the fuel supply, reduces mpg, costs more than its worth, diverts corn from the food supply, corrodes engine parts. In short- ethanol for transportation fuel is hurting, not helping America. I've replaced two chainsaw and three string trimmer carbs because of ethanol corrosion. Never mind lawn mower and boat engines. At least offer the option of pure gasoline.

Everyone involved in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy is dead by now. But many of us affected by that terrible day in Dallas are still alive and wondering. WE WANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH! OUR LIVES WERE CHANGED, OUR HISTORY WAS CHANGED! We just want to know the the results of the commission investigation before we die too.

No corporate lobbyist, no campaign contributions larger than $1000.00 per business or individuals. Exile from the US for anyone caught offending this constitutional law. No illegal bribes to Judges, police officials or any elected local, county, state and federal politicians what so-ever.

Almost all Republican legislators are coerced to sign a pledge to vote no on any tax legislation. Our tax code needs to be fluid so it can meet changing needs of our country, and legislators need to work together so that it is fair. Any financial crisis needs to be solved with a combination of refined strategies for revenue AND reduced spending. Most republicans know are fully aware of this but cannot vote intelligently because of the pledge they signed for Grover Norquist. It is crippling our governments ability to function intelligently on behalf of society. See 60 Minutes' piece on Grover Norquist. It's appalling.

The Supreme Court has ruled (2011) that consumers who are injured from taking generic drugs (70% - 80% of prescriptions) cannot sue for injuries if their sole theory of liability is that the warning label was inadequate. The Doctrine of Preemption prevents them from being sued and they are not required to conduct clinical trials on drugs. My daughter took a generic version of Chlomid, a fertility pill which is linked to birth defects and as a result, my granddaughter (now age 5) was born with heart defects and other complications. She has undergone two open heart surgeries and will need more. There is no legal recourse because she was given a generic drug by the pharmacist; a decision my daughter had no voice in.

Our dependence on foreign fuel has involved us in multiple foreign wars and threatens the very nature of our society. Stop our dependence on foreign fuel now and free our society and economy from the horrible drain that such monitoring, policing, crippling investment causes. Develop environmentally and economically viable alternative fuels that would allow us to break this downward spiraling behavior of having to depend often times hostile foreign concerns.

Recently, 4 young women were killed in a motor vehicle accident related to driving while distracted. These deaths are part of 35,000 annual fatalities and one half million bodily injuries occuring on our roads each year. Many of these accidents are the results of distracted driving from cell phone use and texting. We would like President Obama to make this a DNC platform issue. It is our hope that he would pledge to reduce road fatalities by half during his next four year term.

Elections in the United States should be limited to five (5) months total. Three (3) months in the Spring and two (2) months in the Fall (September, October). This will allow politicians to concentrate on their job and not on the constant need to fund raise. It will also stop the incessant political noise.

Traditional cleaners contain ingredients linked to asthma, cancer, reproductive toxicity, hormone disruption, neurotoxicity, and other negative effects. These cleaning agents contaminate the air, surfaces, and dust that surround our children, teachers, and school staff every day. I have been chemically sensitive my entire life, and have physically suffered through many days cooped up in a chemically laden classroom, both as a student and teacher. I hope to give my children a healthier environment in which to grow and learn.
