I believe all candidates for elected office should be required to disclose five years of their federal tax forms. This seems like a simple requirement, as tax filings tell us what the candidate values. I feel anyone who is not willing to follow such a rule is rightfully suspicious and should not be considered for office.

County Executive Chris Abele is attempting to replace pro-veteran Trustees on the Milwaukee War memorial Board of Trustees. We are concerned that he is seeking to stack the board with Trustees who favor a Milwaukee Art Museum takeover of the War Memorial Center. The Milwaukee County Board has a chance to prevent this takeover. We are calling on Supervisors to stand for veterans and prevent County Executive Abele from diluting veteran representation at the War Memorial.

U.S. voters uploading their last 10 years of tax returns on a signon.org website and thereby demanding that Mitt Romney does the same.

I think we need to do away with the Department and make the CIA and FBI go back to doing their job instead of just setting around and collecting a check off the public, anybody else would,ve been fired or chewed out not have a whole new Government body created to do their job.

My petition is about preserving the integrity of the United States, and not scaring the economic markets by pretending that we would not pay our due bills.

This petition is for the people out there who have Celiac, gluten intolerance, or just want to live a healthier life. I believe that all foods that state gluten free on their packaging should be made to have it Certified. This would be for the safety of the consumers. If you have celiac disease, this is a huge concern when these companies "sneak" in gluten in their products as this can raise your cancer risk to 700 percent!

Todd Akin's stance on rape and the abortion issue is an affront to all women and it is beyond reason that he should serve on a science and technology committee.

President Obama has declared the War on Terror over with the killing of Osama Bin Laden. End the wars of aggression in Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan which is costing us upwards of 3.7 trillion Dollars and thousands of innocent lives.

Today's mail brought two unrequested debit cards, not as a pormotional offer from some start-up financial institution, but from the CT Department of Revenue Services. They were sent with no DRS warning or information to announce that if I have a tax refund that is not directly deposited, I am required to open an account with JPMorgan Chase to receive my rightful refund. If a private company send unsolicited credit/debit cards they would be breaking the law. One wonders who and how this special deal with the banksters was made. We pay sufficient state taxes to deserve at least minimum service from this Department. Receiving a refund without having it go to a third party is about as basic as it gets. This is a sadly misguided abuse of power by DRS.

The reason for my letter is to try and reform how autism is managed on a state and federal level. Autism is a brain disorder that often makes it hard to communicate with and relate to others. With autism, the different areas of the brain fail to work together. This can cause certain individuals to need lifelong care and therapies to be able to function in their daily lives. Autism affects 1 out of 88 children in the United States and even more so in boys, with a ratio of 1 out of 54. These children are born with this disability and spend their lifetime trying to progress from it. All need help in terms of speech and occupational therapies to help them adapt, learn, cope, and function. The problem is that autism and the therapies that are needed for this disability are not covered by health insurance companies in a way that can effectively help the children it affects. For example, my insurance at work only provides ten (10) visits per year for therapies. My son needs to go to two (2) therapists at least once a week. I would then have to pay out of pocket for the rest of those visits. Per the federal guidelines, as they exist today, a child that is autistic qualifies for SSI as well as Medicaid if, and only if, the following is met: - For a single parent income must be less than $2000/month - For a married couple income must be less than $3000/month - These figures are before taxes are taken out. - For a single parent income must be less than $1000/month to qualify for food assistance.

Corruption find fertile soil in unaccountable elected officials. Those public officials develop a sense of entitlement and righfull ownership of their seat with a passing right as an inheritance to their family or friends.
