Asking the governor, who I voted for to change the power of the PSC to help the people who voted for him and those who didnt. We need change from how Pepco is running you, the Governor ! And how they have been treating us the voters !!!!

All of us are barraged everyday by campaign ads from both major parties that are big on hype, but light on substance. Such ads frequently profess to do more and better about major issues such as education, job creation, and Middle East policy, but rarely tell how more and better will be achieved. We're calling on Barack Obama and Mitt Romney to pledge that at least 33% of their television, radio, and web-based ads will include clear and focused explanations of how they will act on major issues.

The Democratic Board of Supervisors in Fairfax, VA is suing the federal EPA to forestall requirements to clean up the Accotink watershed. The decision to sue was made in a closed meeting - no sunshine here! While the watershed is an environmental nightmare, the lawsuit is a developer's dream come true!

3,215 high-temperature records tied or broken in June, a massive drought across the country, and extreme storms from coast to coast. The weather outside has been scary lately. It is a fact that 9 of the 10 hottest years on record have occurred since 2000. As New York Times columnist Paul Krugman put it, it's clear that "large-scale damage from climate change is no longer a disaster waiting to happen. It's happening now."

A large number of families are living on welfare. Take the money they get paid, and have them rebuild the infrastructure of our nation to earn it.

For too long, corporate interests have stalled government progress on the issue of climate change, keeping our representatives from taking action and fully informing the public about this global threat. After the latest batch of wildfires have ravaged Colorado, we can no longer allow this inaction and disinformation to remain steering the public dialog and reactions. For years scientists warned that due to the overly dry conditions in Colorado, our 'table was set' for the brutal wildfire we have faced this year, but still our representatives continue to deny that the climate is making us less safe and much more vulnerable. We need to stand up and demand that our representatives take action to protect the safety of it's people, and they are not doing so by allowing corporate interests to prevent the state from moving on the surrounding issues and threats that climate change has presented across the globe, let alone here in Colorado. We want our elected officials to start introducing bills that will help address the issue of climate change before it is too late. We want regulations put in place, not just on a state level, but for our representatives to start leading others and introduce federal legislation to help ensure the sustainability and safety of the people they represent, and the country they are tasked with protecting.

I live part-time in Aurora, Colorado and Ottawa, Canada. I was so very sad to hear about the tragic shooting in the cinema and cannot put it, and Columbine, out of my mind. I am residing in Ottawa at the moment and Canadians fail to understand why assault weapons and other guns are allowed to be bought so easily. I would like to call on President Obama and Congress to - once and for all - deal with the issue of gun control.

I live in Michigan and the weather here has been devastating...fruit crops have been lost because of the unusually high temperatures in March and freezes in April. We have been dealing with regular temperatures in the 90s and over 100 degrees. There is drought throughout the state. I'm concerned that Congress is not doing enough to address the issue of climate change that no longer is an issue for the future but is an issue that needs to be dealt with now.

No one should have to pay to go to college. Treating students as an income source encourages diploma-mill behavior and substandard education, and plunges much of the populace into debt at the beginning of their working lives.

The American people do not want to hear horrible things about the other candidate, we want to hear about what you will do. We cannot tolerate another horrible commercial.

Creating a foreclosure elimination fund to help homeowners keep their home, or pay down their mortgage substantially. I have seen my neighbor lose his home to foreclosure. The property is currently for sale.

Bain Capital owns Sensata Technologies, which bought the plant where I work in Freeport, Illinois two years ago. Now, Sensata plans to ship our jobs to China. I don’t know what I’m going to do if I lose my job, and I'm not alone. 165 American workers are set to be laid off from the Freeport plant. Mitt Romney's friends at Bain Capital have the power to stop these 165 jobs from being shipped to China. All they have to do is pick up the phone.
