I think that more people would get involved in the political process if elections were held over weekends all across the United States. That is what House Resolution (H.R.) 4183 is about. It lays out rules about how we would hold congressional and presidential elections. Voting would take place on the first weekend of November rather than on a Tuesday. Let's work together to involve more people in our democracy!

About getting the money out of the political process.

The US Supreme Court has granted organizations the same rights as individuals while refusing to hold them responsible for the most heinous of crimes, torture, in the same manner it would hold a human person accountable for the same behavior.

If we can see at least one group of ex-CEO's get prosecuted for the frivilouus, toxic acts commited to this economy in the wake of the financial crisis, we can restore sanity in this country and send a message to the free-world; Irresponsible Behavior Will NOT be Rewarderd.

Like school systems across the state, the Waynesboro School System is facing a deficit for the 2012-2013 school year. With 22 positions lost two years ago and additional cuts made last year, the budget cannot be trimmed further without serious detriment to our students. Quality schools result in lowered crime rates, increased property values, employment, and many other factors that define vibrant communities. As citizens of Waynesboro, we believe investing in our schools is in our best interest.

We the students, faculty, and staff of San Francisco State University, reject the further corporatization of our campus. We see the possible corporate management of the campus bookstore as a further intrusion by private corporations into our public university. Furthermore, this attempt undermines our university’s values and its strong commitment to the SFSU community.

All elected officials are subject toterm limits (time spent in office not doing the people's work for the people) - it is way beyond time to bring the very same term limits to the Supreme Court and the political hacks that call themselves Supreme Court Justices today - people paid with government taxes to do our work for us, not to undo what the people have voted into law -

The localities of Greater Richmond share transportation needs, including the absorption of 300,000 more people by 2027. But, the region currently has no central transportation authority empowered to both plan and fund projects that would benefit the common good. This Richmond Transportation Authority can only be created by the Virginia General Assembly.

More than 132,000 Arizona children are uninsured due to the freeze of KidsCare in 2010. Arizona is the only state in the country that has not lifted the freeze on the Children's Health Insurance Program.

Voting Rights

There is so much emphasis on testing in today's schools that our children are learning nothing about actually living. Teachers are judged by the performance of their students and standardized testing. The schools are also judged. The education, therefore, it aimed at getting all the answers correct. It leaves little time for learning things not included in the tests. It leaves little time to teach children how to learn - how to understand other people - find information on subjects in which THEY are interested. How about if we made parents pass standardized tests in order to maintain their homes and families? How about if we made politicians pass standardized tests about their country and what they have and haven't done for the people in their districts? Our children should feel comfortable in school. It should be a nurturing atmosphere, not an atmosphere of fear that they will not live up to what is expected of them.
