Elected officials are to abide by the US Constitution as well as the Constitution of their state. According to the US Constitution, we are not to have debtors prisons in the United States of America. Currently, there are parents being illegally incarcerated for their inability to pay child support. This unconstitutional practice must cease. It would be better for the government to spend money to help these people out...

Everyone in the private sector has had to cut spending. The "entitlement mentality" of government workers and the lack of accountability does not provide quality goods and services to the people. If Michigan wanted people to come here, then they would stimulate Michigan's economy by cutting taxes for the busionesses and the people. Why the City of Rochester Hills still has the number of ordinance people it does when the...

This is a political time of the year. As a tax-payer I am concerned when Sheriff Bouchard is using the County vehicle to drive around and campaign. I am concerned when ex-lawenforcement are conducting surveys and they are telling the taxpayers that we need an increase in our taxes to increase the number of deputies because of their survey. I consider these results skewed and grossly inaccurate. I am concerned when I...

We the people SAY NO........ NO MORE
TAXES. My God we are drowning out here, and now we won't to tax radio
stations on every song they play. This is a deal breaker for me! Next
thing you know and we will be taxing people every time we flush our
toilets. Please stop this madness! I won't be able to retire until I'm...

Sen. Evan Bayh is right. Congress is broken--a noisy cabal of obscene members working only for their own gain. Earmarks in every bill; senators asking outright for monetary bribes from corporations before they will vote; zero civility anywhere in D.C. Both parties encourage this disfunctional behavior. And we, the citizens, have no power to change this situation. I'm seriously considering moving to Nova Scotia, where my...

The late fee for the drivers license is way too much. I can understand a late fee but to charge close to 100% is ridiculous. I know we all are facing financial difficulties but it's time the government starts to look at ways to cut costs and save money the way the average American has to to make ends meet and not put more of the burden on...

There are really more issues on my mind than just one that would easily fit in the Subject line. So, without wanting to take up too much of your time, I will take the liberty of listing these concerns briefly:
1) In any budget, there should not be any funds for community groups, such as ACORN.
2) There should be no increase in the salaries of federal government employees until such time as the GDP increases by...

We just saw a ABC World News report on stimulus funds being used to manufacture wind power generation equipment in China for use in Texas. We were outraged! This is an example as to why confidence in government has disappeared. We will quickly share this information and let our friends and neighbors consider throwing all present members of congress, senate, and executives from positions of making these kinds of...

I just wanted to express my opinion that I think spending 2.5 million dollars on a Super Bowl Commercial is not only wasteful, it's extremely disconcerting. I can't fault whomever came up with this brainstorm but I certainly can the think tank that supported and signed off on this tremendous misuse of public funds. If the leaders of this department can't find better avenues to spend our money then it's time for some of...

BeginThis is what I truly believe should be the main focus of the current Administration, as well as should have been for the previous one and all future ones, until this Country is out of financial crisis and strong again. Create more American jobs, Keep America safe, make Government smaller, America first than worry about the rest. It is like taking care of your family in any situation. If things get tough, you buckle...
