York County VA Board of Supervisor announced that they are levying a charge on those who recycle each week. How can the County NOT be making money when we sort and present this marketable materiel to them at no charge? Is recycling not a worthwhile venture to be supporting in this time and place?

Please let education be free to ALL Americans to set them up for LIFE needed skills.

Due to the inability of congress to get things done to strengthen the economy, and our congress is no longer by the people, for the people, but for the party, we must due what is necessary to make them more willing to work together.

Liberty Denim has been a fabric mill since 1901. It is one of the last denim factories in the United States. It closed down in December 2011 due to being bankrupted by the owners & management in spite of producing 400,000 yards of denim per week and making millions of dollars in revenue. We plan on reopening it as an employee-owned co-op. www.facebook.com/HelpSaveLibertyDenim www.wearUSA.org

Banks must be divided between retail banks (insured) and commercial banks (uninsured). This worked for 60 plus years with no "too big to fail" concept.

Republicans in Congress backed out on a tax reform deal along the lines of Bowles Simpson last year and then almost shut down the government and lowered our US credit rating. We must not have the same scenario this year.

The Citizens United ruling was NOT a matter of free speech as they asserted. It IS a matter of one-man-one-vote in a republican form of government. By allowing unlimited contributions by corporations they have essentially given them as many votes as they can afford. It is the equivalent of saying that votes can be had for every x number of dollars, or that only landowners can vote; a concept proposed and rejected by our founders. In addition, they have ignored the laws that prohibit political contributions by foreign interests because almost all publicly held companies have some stock owned by non citizens. Further, because there is no reporting requirement for contributors, foreign interests can make direct anonymous contributions to these Super PACs. Shouldn't it be a violation to let foreign interests decide who is going to be a US public servant? Corporations are NOT people; they are commercial and legal paper entities, and they have legal protections people do not. They do not have children who need good schools, they cannot get cancer from a polluted environment, they cannot lose their lives in wars of choice, they cannot be sent to prison or jail, and they do not benefit from a happy populace. Their sole interest is in monetary profit. When corporations enter political debates with vast expenditures and propaganda, they seek to further their own interest, not those of humans. Far too often their interests prevail at the expense of the public well being because of their immense wealth.

Senator Roy Blunt of Missouri is trying to tax stores such as Amazon and E-bay for sales over the Internet. He claims that small businesses will benefit if shoppers are taxed on their Internet purchases. He also claims that states (already running on tight budgets) will be able to cut taxes if they receive revenues from Internet sales. In short, he wants Internet shoppers to pay taxes by taxing the Internet stores. Isn't that contrary to the Republican philosophy of never increasing or adding new taxes?

Seems that we the US taxpayers send aide to China, who in turn is lending money to the state of Calif via the bridge projects in San Francisco area. The bridges are built in China, shipped here in Chinese ships and assembled by Chinese labor. this is wrong
