National political campaigns begin a year or more prior to elections, leaving most voters weary of ads and news reports, bored by debates, tuned out to the issues and aggravated by candidates. Limiting campaigning time to four months prior to the election would allow candidates to focus on current issues and still provide plenty of time for voters to cast informed votes.

The Supreme Court decision that corporations have the rights of individuals and can spend unlimited anonymous funds in support of political issues and candidates (via PAC's) imperils democracy in our country.

The supreme court committed a grave error in treating corporate speech the same as of human beings. (Citizens United) This decision allows corporate money to flood the political process and will corrupt our democracy. It will reshape the way elections are conducted. We're calling on all U.S. citizens to demand that the control of our elections be returned to "the people" and not corporations. Congress should legislate to fix the error of the Supreme Court

We need to put a stop to B of A screwing people by changing dates of transactions to charge extra overdraft fees. There is a classaction suit pending appeals where for each fee people were charged $35 they will be refunded $3.15. They ripped us off and are getting away with it. The lawyers will receive millions of our money that was stolen from our accounts. The lawyersw should be doing this probono. It never affected them.

Many areas of the Nation provide Cold Night Shelters for the estimated 100,000 plus homless. Many homelesss are veterans (@70,00 plus). The number grows every day. Being homless they have no money to pay for fares on public transit/para-transit systems to get to the Cold Night Shelters.

If this was put in place, the problems with money running our congress would go away. We could actually have a congress for the people and not a congress for congress and the rich and corporations. Easy fix!

All over the United States of America, retired people are finding it impossible to thrive. In short, Social Security is completely inadequate. All funds for Social Security need to be block-funded. Social Security retirements also desperately need to be based on inflation; for example,a person who retires while earning $70K a year can not be expected to survive on $900 per month!

Corporate money will flood the political marketplace and would corrupt our democracy.

In many European countries the precautionary principle where technology has to be proven safe before it is put in practice. In the United States large powerful Corporations are given free rein to do damage in the name of making jobs, then private citizens have to try to prove harm after the fact. The petroleum industry has been very successful in killing the scientific study needed to scrutinize hydrofracking by getting exemption from the Clean Air and Water Act. Independent research is needed to insure protection of our air, soil, and water, as well as public health and welfare before irreparable harm is done.

Cox Communications is willfully taking the hard earned money of tens of thousands or more of it's cableCARD and switched digital video customers each month and turning them into suckers. They've been knowingly overcharging for inaccessible services since they began renting cableCARDS and offering switched digital video tuners to customers years ago. CableCARD customers are subsidizing executive paychecks. As of August 8th 2011, the FCC has instated new rules for cable operators regarding the devices and service plans. Cox is playing ignorant.
