In order to return the country to the people, the effect of money in politics must be eliminated. It will not be possible to stop political contributions, but it would be possible to eliminate the need. Banning all forms of political advertising would make contributions unnecessary by eliminating the main source of campaign spending. Publically televised debates and interviews would replace camaign ads.

To date, the House has voted 30 times to defund, dismantle and repeal the Affordable Care Act. Some polls have shown that This poll after the Supreme Court’s decision upholding the heart of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), a majority of Americans (56 percent) now say they would like to see the law’s detractors stop their efforts to block its implementation and move on to other national problems. If the economy and jobs are important to Americans why is it that Congress is still wasting time on the ACA after the law has been deemed constitutional? So I am asking Americans to stand up to political bullies and tell members of Congress to stop wasting tax payer money and time on a bill that is constitutional.

I am concerned about your lack of transparancy on your financial holdings especially those overseas.

The current GOP controlled House has done nothing but block legislation and pass anti women laws. They are now set to vote to repeal the Affordable Care Act - a symbolic waste of time!! They seem happy to hold hostages to get their way

Yes, My husband Fred Kelly is a retired veteran with a mortgage beyond our means The lender was a shark , We ask for a modification to America's Servicing Co who handle the mortgage thru Wells Fargo Bank and they have string us along without an answer for over 10 month threatening to foreclosure on our homestead after he served in the army and is 100% disable and much sickness and recently diagnose with prostate cancer and me with and enlarge heart.

As FDR did in the Great depression, the president needs to sign a mortitorium to stop all evictions and if any fraud or broken "chains of title" have been found force the banks,Freddie mac,Fannie mae,fha and any envolved to work with the former homeowner to restore this real property (land ) into the hands of American people not foriegn envestors.

I would like to encourage every tax payer to read a book called the Fair Tax Plan, and then contact their congress men and women to create legislation to enact this plan. This is not a new idea and I have been a big fan for years, but every day it becomes more and more relevant due to the class warfare and the economy in this Country.

It is more than obvious that some in the Big Business do not directly suffer the consequences of their actions. The proof of this began in 2007 when 50% of the Exxon Valdez oil spill, 2 decades old, was dumped on taxpayers. The proof of this is the number of financial settlements on companies like Glaxo and big banks like JP Morgan Chase. Their tactic is to recoup their losses by simply jacking prices of their goods and services until the settlement or fine is paid for by consumers first and taxpayers second. This does not in any way force those who make these fraudulent decisions to suffer the consequences of their actions. But, a petition to pass a law that disallows these businesses to raise their prices or accept tax subsidies until these fines or settlements are paid in full is the only way taxpayers and consumers can put the brakes on this kind of corruption.

The Whales and dolphins are citizens of our shared water planet..imagine how you would feel if some one wanted to test ear/brain damaging sonic waves in the Pentigon!!!we are in the age of computer modeling..do your testing there not on our oceanic brothers and sisters!!!

I am disabled and use marijuana to help endure the everyday pain that I experience. If I get caught with pot, ( small quantity) I will probably get a fine. Since fine money isn't in my budget I'll have to do jail time. If pot were legal the gov. would receive the tax dollars, control 90% + of sales, wipeout the smugleing of pot into the US, free up prision space, and have extra police to focus on other crimes. What are the cons? Control it like alcohol.

It is time to legalize marijuana. It is a racial issue. Set black men free from being jailed for providing medicine to people who need it.It is a social issue. Alcohol and meth and coke are evil. They break up families. My daughter needs her dad. Marijuana users need to chill. Put money used to jail people into programs for people to get off drugs, etc.
