• Transparency in the death of Kenneth Chamberlain, Sr. by the White Plains Police Department
    An outrageous attack resulting in death was made on a private citizen of these United States. Such brutality must be made public and the perperators must be publicly tried and brought to justice. If one of us is unsafe in this country, none of us is safe. It's hard to believe that such behavior comes from people paid to serve an protect.

The cap is $1,080.00 (or there about) a year So the poor and a great deal of the middle class pay for the whole year and some pay for 3 months the few who can afford the payment would not miss the $ and it would put a great deal of funds into Social Security. Which ,by the way was supporting this country for a long time when we were flush with $ and the witheld SS$ was put into the general fund

  • COBRA Premium Reduction
    General Information: If you or a family member has lost employment, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) may make it possible for you to keep your employment-related health coverage....This expired when President Obama signed the new Health Care Legislation. My question is why is this not necessary anymore when unemployment continues to be high. This leaves the unemployed without a safety net since the government was paying 65% of the COBRA premium. COBRA premiums can be $500+ for a single person and in the thousands for a family that is unemployed. How did this happen? We keep talking about helping the unemployed and how Americans all need health care but the people who are unemployed through no fault of theirs find that health insurance is out of reach. We continue to assist countries overseas sending them billions but the American taxpayer is left behind. Sad...

  • Congress: Stop Wasting Our Money!
    While the Congress passes no bills, saves no money and talks about tax cuts in programs that help American citizens, they are doing NOTHING to cut waste, fraud, and mismanagement in government agencies. In many cases, they are protecting their power base. In many cases, they form oversight committees who have no real power to enforce the rules they are supposed to oversee. THIS HAS TO STOP!

  • Stop the absurd
    After seeing a news story today about law makers who lease very expensive automobiles at tax payer expence, I believe we need to be heard. I believe that they should leases out of their bloated salaries. I also believe they should have medicare as their health insurance. It should be set up with the same quide lines as our medicare.
