You're middle class and you're busting your butts to keep your heads above water. Why ? Very simple. The upper two percent rich class DO NOT PAY THEIR FARE SHARE OF TAXES! And they own Congress and our State assemblies. Today more than anytime in history The rich are getting obscenely richer The poor are getting much poorer And the middle class is working harder then ever to keep their heads above water and support EVERYTHING ! And many of the middle class are going under ! http://www.middleclassblues.us/ We have become a government BY THE RICH - FOR THE RICH AND THE RICH DO NOT CARE WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU OR ME ! The Majority of the TOP 2 PERCENT RICH ARE GREEDY PEOPLE AND THEY TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER ON OUR BACKS ! The only answer is to clean house, and the Senate.

In the wake of the Aurora shootings, any politician who has received campaign donations from pro-gun groups should immediately return them. Or if they choose not to do so they should explain why they feel it is imperative to keep their donation.

Separation of church and state has nothing to do with taxes. It's time we make religious organizations pay taxes and back taxes. It is true, some religious organizations are like big businesses and monopolies. Some of them receive alot of unrecorded money, that is not taxed. Some of this money holds stocks on the stocked market. Now that so many people have given so much to these religious organizations over the years I truly believe it is time for them to give back to us. When the United States economy is in such an uncertain fate as it is I think now is the time to get the conversation rolling.

I am directing our local, state, and federal governments to make climate change a top priority by developing a specific legislative plan to combat this devastating event.

New York State has the most restrictive laws in the nation when it comes to party registration changes. The Legislature has passed a bill which would make the deadline much more democratic. The bill awaits your signature, and we respectfully request that you sign it into law as soon as it is delivered to you.

I'm standing with the president to call on Congress to pass a paid sick days bill for all workers.

Today (3/6/13), David Clarke was running for Mayor, maybe Governor or Senator, on News/Talk 1130 WISN AM radio. He was taking calls and taking jabs at Milwaukee politicians whose politics he disagrees with. He was mocking elected officials that choose not to praise the National Rifle Association's movement to scare every citizen into owning a firearm. At one point - no, several points - he actually said the purpose of the Second Amendment is to allow Americans to defend themselves against a tyrannical government. Now ask yourself, do you think our Milwaukee County Sheriff belongs engaged in this type of self-serving behavior? And was Sheriff David Clarke being paid as Sheriff for his time behind the mic at Clear Channel Radio's Greenfield radio studios? If so, do the above actions speak to the duty of Milwaukee County's top law enforcement officer? I don't think so. That is why I am asking Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke to resign his position as Sheriff and allow someone to take over the reigns. Someone who has only the safety of the county's residents as their top priority. Someone who will not spend their time auditioning for a job as local radio talk show host, or as a pundit on cable television news shows. Should Sheriff Clarke refuse to resign I ask that Milwaukee County resident voters' voices be heard that he needs to be removed from his position.
