All American should have the right to travel to Cuba and have people to people exchange of ideas and be freinds. Cuba is making adjustment and changes and we need to give them ideas how to better themselves. Americans should be able to be free to find out about Cuba and the Cuban people and make their own mind if Cuba is or not a hostile country as our Government claims. We are friends with China. VietNam and many other countries and can travel to them. Why our Government have to hide about Cuba?

Money in our political process has corrupted government. We have legalized bribery presently. Corporations and the very rich use their wealth to consolidate their power to the detriment of working Americans. All elections should be publicly financed. The Citizens United ruling by the Supreme Court has exacerbated this problem.

The best healthcare coverage must include preventative care. But not all private policies cover basic care uniformly or appropriate to age, ethnicity and gender. A taxpayer based single payor coverage (SPC) would provide everyone all tests, inoculations and medications through their doctor or clinic making us a healther nation. In turn we should expect and mandate lower private healthcare insurance premiums for individuals and businesses.

Congressional and Senatorial representatives should collect salaries and benefits only while they are serving their elected term. No salary, health care benefit or pension should be paid to any non-current elected official or any official who is recalled, fired, or quits. Once the job ends, so does the money. Just like everybody else.

The Cobb County Police Department has a conspiracy against the black man and all other non white races.

The National Defense Authorization Act contains language which allows the United States Government to detain prisoners without trial.

Establishing (2) 6 year term limits on all elected members of congress. Continue to pay them their current 172,000.00 salary, but do not give them a pension at the end of their term.

One of the chief arguments used as an argument against legalizing same sex marriage is that there exists a certain "sanctity" that will be lessened by recognizing same sex marriages as legally binding. I propose that all language used in the public forum regarding the union of two people in the eyes of the state should be called civil unions. This would mean that the term marriage is reserved solely for use by individuals and churches. This would mean that marriage licenses in all states would be civil union licenses and would make no reference to the gender of either member of the union.

With 6 members of the Walton (Walmart) family owning more wealth than the combined wealth of the bottom 30% of the American Population (6>100,000,000), the time has come to tax wealth, not income.

Congressmen and women should: - have to buy Health Insurance on open market just like us - have to have their own 401K's just like us - have to disclose share dealings to IRS just like us - have to ask the voter if they can increase salaries just like us asking the boss - have to pay for cafeteria and gym services just like us

The destruction of our democracy can only be stopped if the majority of us make it clear that we demand a constitutional amendment prohibiting any person or entity from donating ANY money to a candidate's campaign (and that includes a millionaire candidate buying his own election). The recent Supreme Court decision (Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission) has now made corporations “persons” entitled to use their vast amounts of money to influence legislation that serves their needs and not necessarily those of the public. The 99% need to have a greater voice in what our elected officials are legislating and not the 1% who hold the majority of the wealth in this country. Simply passing a law, i.e. the McCain–Feingold Act, has shown that this is clearly not enough when the main provisions of the law can be eviscerated by a Court ruling. We must demand a Constitutional Amendment.
