Cost of living raises for low-wage workers and two weeks vacation time every year effective at date of hire. Ten paid sick days per year It is very difficult to keep up with the cost of living when you don't make a living wage in the first place. Also, too many places of employment make you wait at least one year before being eligible for any vacation time whatsoever. I have not had a private sector job that has offered paid sick days since 1993. These days if you are too sick to go to work, your pay gets docked making it even more difficult to pay the bills.

The purpose is to limit the terms of all elected federal offices to one term.

Abolish the filibuster. A Supreme Court decisions forbid former legislators from tying the hands of their successors. Under the Supreme Court's precedents, just 51 senators will have a brief opportunity to reform or eliminate the filibuster next January. Abolish the filibuster and end gridlock.

Big money and "sweet deals" in D.C. have far too much influence on bad decisions by the U.S. Government.

My son and his wife were unable to have their bank (PNC) lower their interest rate, but instead their monthly payment were raised. The scandal at Barclay's in London which involves American banks affected all of our interest rates since 2005 - perhaps even earlier. When is the Congress going to hold the top officers of banks legally responsible, instead of treating them deferentially, as they recently did when Robert Diamond testified.

The law assigns ALL POWER & AUTHORITY (over and above the Governor & President) to your county Sheriff, who is your elected official. The Sheriff has the POWER & AUTHORITY to prevent entry & rejection of all Federal agents operating in any capacity. Citizens need to know the Feds or their representitives can not enter your county to commit illegal acts. Sheriffs MUST inform the state & federal governents of this. See WY.

It frightens me that the race is so tight and and that Gov. Romney might win.

If we are to move this economy and country forward politicians must start working together to improve conditions. Stop standing at extreme ends of the spectrum and hurling barbs at one another and compromise for the good of the country.

We the People grow weary of waiting for justice to be served to the financial institutions who brought our nation to its knees with the 2007-08 economic collapse from which they recovered immediately with our tax bailout money while the people are continuing to lose jobs, homes and savings with no end in sight; We demand action on the part of Congress and the White House to end the culture of impunity under which the financial institutions continue to operate as evidenced by: 1. The recent $9 billion loss incurred by JPMorgan Chase in the same kind of risky gambling with the People’s money that brought us the Great Recession; 2. The unfolding London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) rigging scandal in which sixteen global banks are alleged to have colluded to set the international interest rate from which flow interest rates for trillions of dollars of loans worldwide, including credit card debt, mortgages, student debt and other indebtedness too numerous to name; We demand the end of the business-as-usual practice of federal investigations of financial crimes which result in a relatively small fine which the financial institutions simply consider a cost of doing business.

Mental illness has been stigmatized in America for several years. Even today, with all the bills that have been passed to eliminate it's stigma and the protesting done in efforts to see that it be treated the same as a physical illness, it still continues to be a topic that serves as something people are scared or make fun of. Those who have suffered or continue to suffer from something that isn't there fault are being ridiculed and made seem like they are different than everyone else. Well it's time to erase the judgement and fear surrounding mental illness. We need to create programs that teach children and young adults that having a metal illness isn't a joke. It is a serious disease that should not be made fun of. We need to educate to eliminate stigma!

Since Congress is controlled by special interests and lobbyists, we need to stop them from being financed by our tax dollars.

U.K.-based pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), a corporate "person" in the eyes of the federal government (http://blog.timesunion.com/occupyalbany/corporations-are-people/394/), has pleaded guilty to criminal charges in what even the mainstream media is calling the largest healthcare fraud case in history. And though the company is having to fork over $3 billion in collective fines for its illegal activity, no actual GSK employees or executives are being held personally responsible for their crimes.
