A call for people to stop yelling at each other and drawing lines in the sand. Start listening. I mean it! Listen. Deeply. Break down the rhetoric across the abyss, and address the fears we all experience. Focus on the stable, nurturing communities we can create when we actually listen and share on a deeper level.

Join with the American Jobs Alliance in fighting for jobs in America. Congress will soon vote on job-killing trade agreements with Korea, Panama and Colombia. These deals are like NAFTA and will cost hundreds of thousands of jobs, and adversely affect the lives of workers and farmers, here and abroad. Congress has a chance to stand up for jobs in the United States. We're calling on Congress to reject these treaties.

The Bureau of Land Management is "managing" mustangs and burros in the west into extinction through hideously brutal roundups (chasing baby horses until their hooves come off), illenss and death in unhealthy holding facilites, and ultimate transfer to slaughterhouses in Mexico and Canada. There are public laws in place to protect and preserve our wild heritage horses; but there is so much corruption that the laws are not being enforced. BLM is wiping out the horses to make way for more cows (which the taxpayer subsidises through cheap grazing rights) and oil and gas pipelines. Wild horses are not starving or overpopulated; that is BLM propaganda. Willd horses don't destroy the range, it's the thousands of cows that the Bureau (of cow management?) has dumped on our public land who are pulling up plant roots when they graze - horses don't. And of course it costs millions to torture and kill these horses and pennies to manage them humanely in the wild using birth control darting. Tell Congress to enforce the laws protecting wild horses, stop all roundups and slaughter, and manage wild horses humanely and cost effectively in the wild.

"We the middle and lower class American people are being forced into an even lower class, with lower wage jobs or no jobs, no benefits, no collective bargaining, no representation, a continueing war and no fair taxes on the wealthy and big corporations. The time is NOW, Enough is Enough. It's time to stand up and voice your opinion and let the President and Congress know where you stand and to make a commitment to do all you can NOW.

This is particularly important for people already receiving Social Seurity benefits, or those nearing the benefits age, or those concerned about elderly relatives. For the last two years, the Government has not given cost-of-living increases (COLA) to recipients, even though living costs have risen dramaticaly. In effect, this has amounted to CUTS, and many people are really suffering from it. They are threatening to withhold COLA in 2012, as well. We must protest this disastrous attack on our seniors -- it will create a situation in which people will have to choose between eating or paying rent -- medical prescriptions or winter clothes. At a time when tax cuts are being extended for the rich, it is scandalous to cut benefits for elderly frail people of low income.

It's obvious that the Republican party has issues with President Obama but there is no reason for the constant disrespect. It must stop.

For the first time since 1937, lawmakers have introduced a bill into the House of Representatives to end federal marijuana prohibition. Over the past 70+ years, the federal criminalization of marijuana has: 1) Failed to reduce the public’s demand for or access to cannabis. 2) Imposed enormous fiscal and human costs upon the American people. 3) Promoted disrespect for the law. 4) Reinforced ethnic and generational divides between the public and law enforcement. After seven decades of failure, it is time for an alternative approach.

As an Obama supporter, I believe that's it's time for him to stand up for the people that elected him. It's important that he proposes a bold new Job Plan. Dare to follow your beliefs and not water down your ideals to go for what might be acceptable to the other side.

The Congress, especially the Republican faction of the People's House, should cease and desist from fighting policies that would bring jobs to the workers in this country. It should be a criminal act for our legislators to only look out for the interest of a small population of this country, who just happen to have most of the money in the country.

1. Term Limits. 12 years only, one of the possible options below: A. Two Six-year Senate terms B. Six Two-year House terms C. One Six-year Senate term and three Two-Year House terms 2. No Tenure / No Pension. They collect a salary while in office and receive no pay when they are out of office. 3. All elected officials (past, present & future) participate in Social Security. No longer will Social Security funds be allowed to be accessed for any other purpose than what it was intended for in its origin. All funds in the retirement funds move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and they participate with the American people. 4. Officcials can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do. 5. Officials will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%. 6. Officials lose their current health care system and participate in the same health care system as the American people. 7. Officials must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people - to include tax laws. 8. All contracts with past and present officials are void effective 1/1/12. The American people did not make this contract with them. They made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress and the Senate is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their terms, then go home and back to work.

Corporations are taking over America. Our Freedoms are being attacked. Stand Up and Speak Up now. Let your voices be heard. Take back the vision of our Founding Fathers.

For over 30 years, the rich have gotten richer, the poor have gotten poorer, and the middle class is slowly but surely being squeezed out of existence. Instead of more of the same corporate welfare/"trickle-down" economics that have been an abysmal failure for the middle class, why not try a trickle-up approach to rebuilding our economy by targeting relief at those most likely to actually help grow the economy?
