The quickest and most effect way to stop corruption in our politics is for the American people to insist on reforms to their relationship with their political representatives.

They are gluing meats together now, and we must continue to fight back !

The notion of any position in government running for life is an idea which should have died with rule by monarchy.It invites a tyranny of the few affecting all. While an independent Court is best for all, a wholly unaccountable Court serves no one.

On May 12, 2012. the U.S. Department of Labor will cut federal funding to hundreds of thousands of US Families across the country. In California unemployed were given only two weeks' notice of loss of benefits, even though these benefits were expected to last for up to 20 weeks. The Fed believes 11% unemployment in California is an acceptable number and therefore they do not need to honor the 20 weeks promised to those seeking work. This could result in Californians' losing their homes, apartments, and cars. Tell lawmakers to support the hundreds of thousands of families across the country hit hardest by the economic downturn and act swiftly in extending federal unemployment benefits by fully extending the 2011 unemployment emergency assistance in 2012.

We need to have our politicians tell the truth when they campaign. The romney campaign has ads that are blatant lies of the Obama Administration set to run on TV. See Wadhington Post article of April 30, 2012 regarding automobile plants in Finland, traffic light manufacturing in China and solar plants in Mexico. These companies/plants are right here Ipin the US NOT overseas. Broadcasting companies Ned to check the facts before airing blatant lies!

At a town hall meeting in Newport last Thursday, Governor Paul LePage accused Maine state employees of being “about as corrupt as you can be.” I agree with Republican State Legislators Roger Katz and Patrick Flood and others who have called on Gov. LePage to apologize. Public workers do important work for all Maine people. For Gov. LePage to call them "corrupt" is baseless and insulting to every public worker who has dedicated their lives to making Maine a great place to live, work, and raise a family.

It is way past time for elections to be held on Saturdays, not Tuesdays, for it allows poor voters a better opportunity to get to the polls. It is far more difficult for low-level workers to get off during the middle of the work week, and farmers and ranchers no longer need the few days it used to take to go the polls. Today, with the right wing doing all it can to disenfranchise voters with new voter ID laws, it is high time to change election day to Saturday.

All Americans should have the same health care program that Politicians have. The health insurance companies and Pill makers have been gouging us for years. This will make the US competitive in the world market. IE: Economic & Job recovery.

Contest the tickets issued to drivers legally turning right on red at Rt.70(W) and Springdale Rd. in Cherry Hill. Drivers are falsely cited as in violation of NJ#39:4-81,Failure to Observe Signal, and charged with running a red light. Installation of a "No Turn on Red" sign will eliminate this problem.

Most sustainability efforts concentrate on reducing the average carbon or water footprint of citizens. But we currently have a seven to one excess of humanity over what our planet can sustain over the long run. This fast rising tidal wave of humanity will, in 53 years, be a 14 to 1 excess. In this light, current sustainability efforts can be seen as "rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic".
