Begin typing here..As I sit her watching a CBS special on remembering the Pentagon on 9/11 it begs the question: How could such a devastating attack of terrorism bring our country together in unity on so many levels, and now 11 years later, the foolish antics of our Congress across all parties, cause such a huge division as to let our country, our hard work, and our sensibilities be torn asunder? If companies and people...

What do you call a person who makes a statement that is shown to be untrue yet continues to make it even though he now knows it to be a lie? Some people might say that person was a pathological liar... the proverbial troublemaker who yells “Fire!” in a crowded theater even if he knows there is not a fire. Pittenger started running ads in his congressional race against Jim Pendergraph and others about two weeks ago...

I have recently traveled through airport security know as TSA. DISGUSTING! My father fought in WWII so that I would not have to bear the fascism of Adolf Hitler and his third reich. I now have you to thank for the facist who not only asks "Ver are your papers!" I now get irradiated with cancer causing xrays. After being irradiated with xrays the incompetent TSA still had to rub my belly like a bowl full of jelly. Yes I...

Until all elected officials start to live under the laws of this nation like the masses I am going to call on all people to never elect a sitting official in congress or the house of representatives. While the masses struggle to make ends meet their elected officials in both the house and senate lie to keep their power and write laws that effect the public but they are not bond to follow such laws. While insider trading...

There only seems to be a COUPLE of democrats in the congress that REALLY STAND UP to the RIGHT. Anthony Weiner is one of them. And now even his own side want him to step down. He is the only one that has any BACKBONE. If you want me to vote Democratic, you had better start showing some backbone and STAND UP FOR THE MIDDLE CLASS. We want our MEDICARE and our SOCIAL SECURITY. We want healthcare with a ONE PAYER SYSTEM....

From your response to a FairTax Supporters letter:
"Although the simplicity of this plan is appealing, replacing income taxes with a sales tax would place a heavy burden on middle class taxpayers, who spend almost their entire income every year, while the more well-off spend less of their total income. The Fair Tax would also eliminate many incentives that are built into our tax system (such as deductions for...

Dear Representatives, Senators: Please vote for the Disclose Act to make public the money corporations give to election campaigns. If the Supreme Court thinks a Corporation is a person, at least we should be able to learn who is funding "our" candidates. Please protect our democracy and pass this...

What's it take, $60 million to a presidential campaign that will automatically buy a seat to head the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform? Shame shame Mr. President. It's clear where your allegiances lie. Andrew Stern - I've heard some of his rhetoric. Sounds way to dangerously radical to be in that spot. Well, he's made a big down payment to get what he wants, and Mr. Union wants his Healthcare...

You may want to look into the concept of the first amendment. The first amendment unquestionably grants individuals and businesses the free and unfettered right to advertise, lobby, and contribute to politicians as they choose. It is not our business to decide who or how much. If you are really interested in reform then stop towing the party line and realize that there is a tremendous incentive for every special interest...

Mr President;
In my opinion it is time to end the corporate rule in the United States. It seems that the only way to get corporations out of politics and "career politicians" out of politics is to end these "contributions" the only way possible. Legislators can't seem to pass anything good for the American people. They probably would not, however, have the 2/3 majority to overrule an executive order. If you left...
