I am against red light cameras because they contribute to accidents and absurd fines, which is taxation by our lazy government. Next year the government will further their lack of discretion by proposing that red light violators be tracked by satellite to their home for culpability confirmation, ticket-point issuance and search of your home. Stand up for your rights and red-light our unreasonable government. Most everyone I speak to convey their concerns about our economy and the future. Yet statistics indicate that some 90 percent of our Congress was re-elected. It would appear that change is unlikely when you keep the same failed leadership in office. It is as simple as voting all incumbents out of office, yet the people stand in an oblivious state while the old cronies run our country into the ground. ...more

Our welfare, healthcare, senor citizen's care system is strained as it is and adding more to the system will be devastating to our country. Immigration amnesty legislation being introduced allows the one here to bring in relatives? What is wrong with the fools in Congress? People need to take action on the nonsense now! ...more

As President Obama designates the CEOs of all entities that receive federal money; General Motors, Ford, banks, states etc., will Congress need to ratify his choices? With such awesome responsibility on the shoulders of one man, would it not be prudent to name him "President" for life? ...more

"Hellooo" can anyone up there on Capitol Hill hear me? Probably not with all that bickering going on. You are like a bunch of school kids on the playground, "He did it," "No he did it," "No he did it first." I want to yell "Stop it!" just like I did to my kids. Stop the blame game and get back to work. ...more
