    We need someone to update the removing eight zeros from federal income, spending,debt etc. You can probably find the old figures online. This puts our spending on terms the individual can understand. We need to better inform the low knowledge voter. This a powerful tool. I have not seen it used on the Senate or House floor, or by any of our speakers on television. People can't relate to billions or trillions, this they can understand.

    When is the prohibition of marijuana going to end? I've served my country for 20 years, earned 4 college degrees, and yet someone with a lot of money is going to attack and limit my freedom to happiness and pursuit thereof by continuing the insane marijuana prohibition. To be fair, caffeine, tobacco, and alcohol products should be also illegal EXCEPT - these substances KILL PEOPLE and marijuana does not. Really, it is the personnel in charge of this ridiculous prohibition that are seeming like dopes in light of a blizzard of medical findings paperwork AND studies conducted by the U.S. Government in Mississippi. History also shows no deaths or other significant health problems, and history shows governmental manipulation by the Hearst family to outlaw weeds because of the newspaper industry using wood. Anything can be brought into bad light with bad press and people will believe anything, like marijuana induced insanity and violent crime, Thank you Mr. Anslinger, you made history. But so did Stalin. To the rest of the world, the United States seems very UN-United in that the people say legalize this harmless natural drug, yet Federal Government persists and insists on including it in the failed "War on Drugs". With the tax issues, and spending problems, I join an ever growing number of combat veterans that will expatriate this country, as we can, to live a life of freedom, instead of living under a King, Queen, and Big Brother. It's either that or eventually become homeless and unable to leave. Founding fathers would be appalled as I continously am by this government, for the people by the people.

    Dear Republican Leaders: With all these issues that we have "wrestling" to solve, there is only one VERY IMPORTANT problem we have, it is OBAMA. If we can get rid of Obama, America will be back to where we wanted. We can simply get rid of Obama, by either IMPEACHMENT, or charging him of his "INELIGIBILITY", for the fact that, his father was born in Kenya and never became US citizen and he himself, claimed he was born in Kenya. This has been recorded and documented by Sheriff Joe Arpaio, Atty. Mike Zullo, Dr. Orly Taitz, Jerome Corsi, Joseph Farah, Dr. James David Manning, Philpp Berg, Donald Trump and many other patriots and heroes who are relentless in pursuing the truth about the Secrets that Obama has been keeping. With just these two facts, OBAMA can be removed, fast. Congress and our legislators are working too slow and spending too much time and money. About Benghazi, if we have all the EVIDENCE and proofs, that Obama LIED about his culpability, then there is no way he could escape prosecution. Finally, on the 12th to the 15th February, Dr. Orly Taitz, is going to have a BIG DEMONSTRATION, in front of the Supreme court, regarding the ELIGIBILITY of OBAMA, Kindly join her and the rest of the millions of patriots and heroes who really believed OBAMA is INELIGIBLE to be president. Thank you very much, Danny

    1. Hillary Clinton must be revealed to America exactly what happened at Bengazi, she is waffling and wiggling and avoiding the questions she is asked, Hillary in 2016? 2. Pres. Obama needs to also tell the truth about Bengazi, also our constitution is being burnt by this admin, he said at service for school shooting victoms that we must protect our children, and he forgot to include how many victoms in the womb? 3. Obamacare must not exclude any groups or individuals and as an registered Republican, I ask this question ? are amnendants to the constitution just for the dumpster, congress you will be praised by the people for stepping up and honoring the I think 28th amnendant, it will be said men and women of honor.

    Please review the many violations of our constitution the president has made and impeach him. Make a bipartisan effort. Joe Biden who would replace him is also a democrat, it should not be about partisan politics rather about a usurper of power who shows no regard for our constitution.
  • Charles Biggs commented on 2/12/2013
    I can not believe that the Democrat Leadership in Congress feels there is no spending problem in the US. How can we get back to the working class lifestyle when better than 50% of the American people are takers and not workers.
  • Susan Skipp commented on 2/12/2013
    In ct family court and Dcf are corrupted by nepotistic policies, afcc programs that are discriminatory. It is systemic corruption that weaves it's way through family court and Dcf via unethical therapists, crooked judges and kickbacks from federal funding for people involved. It's unconscionable what happens to children as they are delivered right into abusers hands through incentivizing conflict to create the need for more federal funding. Already have proof, many people know. Blind eyes

    First of all, how do we contact you if we are not from Ohio? Seems as if we should be able to contact ;you since you are the Speaker! I would like for you to develop a "Back Bone" for once and stand with the conservatives, not all your Rino buddies and the media. YOU NEED TO REPRESENT US! You know Obama is a Marxist, and you know he is trying to ruin the country. You Rino;s are just as guilty if you don't stand up and fight!
  • Walter Johnson commented on 2/12/2013
    K.I.S.S. This is an advertising principle. As conservatives we need to Keep it Simple. If all Reps and Senators could simply respond to all questions about Taxes or Revenue(a vailed reference to taxes) with this simple phrases, "We do not have a revenue problem, we have a spending problem." Next, when the president talks about a "fair and balanced" approach we should respond with, "We want to be fair to our children and grand children by cutting spending now and balancing the budget." (I suggest Connie Macks "One Penny" plan. When the President talks about creating "5 million jobs" and keeping the recovery going, we should answer, ""The President uses new math, when I was in school...2 +2 = 4. When you use real math you can see that in the last four years we have lost "18 million jobs"added "16 million people to the food stamp roles" and, over 4 million people to the welfare roles. If we repeat these over and over...we will simply place the responsibilty on the shoulders of the President where it belongs. He is not fond of this word. God Bless America! Walter

    We are suffering as families because of dcfs/cps kidnapping our children. Our families are being destroyed and only because they want to put money in their pockets. This is disturbing and dcfs/cps should be stopped or eliminated altogether. My 4 lovely children have been stolen from me and they have never been abused in any way shape or form by me. Dcfs has abused them emotionally by taking them from their loving mother and father. Please stop them from taking children from innocent families.

    Stop using my money for your charities Mr. Obama. Republicans must stand strong on having a budget. Make Obama layout his plan and then show it to the American people. Do not continue without a budget. No excuses from Republican if you give up now.
  • Charlie McKelvey commented on 2/19/2013
    Complaining online in a blog is pointless. Write letters to your congress men and women. Pray for our elected officials. Love your family, your children, and your neighbor and serve as a role model for the rest of the world to follow. ~ Charlie McKelvey, Bethlehem PA

    How do we promote more Americans to learn a second language? We, as a nation, have an extreme shortage of Americans who can speak certain languages, like Arabic and Chinese. How did Mr. Rubio learn to speak 2 languages? I noticed Mr. Rubio speaks English very fast and he is very quick on his feet. He was on the O'Reilly's show and I noticed he spoke faster than Mr. O'Reilly. It is given those who are good at public speaking are the one's who get elected. That is why he is a US Senator as a result. You may notice speaking Spanish is a very fast language. Did Mr. Rubio learn Spanish first then used the speed to speak English second? Can leading educators learn how Mr. Rubio can speak 2 languages? Was it during his pre school years or what? How did he learn to speak English so fast, as well? Did he learn to speak Spanish first? We, as a nation, have an extreme shortage of Americans who can speak certain languages, like Arabic and Chinese. We should learn how Mr. Rubio can speak 2 languages so fast. Then use this knowledge so more Americans can speak other languages that are in short supply. Our national security depends on this.... So please GOP leaders, fund more money for kids to learn a second language such as Arabic and Chinese. Perhaps summer camps could be created as 2nd language camps. It would be money well spent.

    I am receiving 4 - 5 mailings from various reputable organizations daily asking for support for impeachment of the president. I have signed many petitions calling for action from congress however, I can find no action on the floor of the House of Representatives calling for a resolution. I live in West Virginia where Obama's popularity is near zero. I see daily reports of the president's misuse of office and disregard for the U.S. Constitution. I question the validity of his numerous Executive Orders. When will Congress stand up to this aspiring dictator?
