So I have a question for all of you. If you could change one thing about Congress, what would it be?

I couldn't agree more Cheeky! I think that the influence lobbyists hold threatens to undermine our democracy. Like you said, representatives are elected by the people and for the people. They're supposed to be on the side of the people and not on the side of money. What would you like to see done to change this?

Yes, this is fantastic! We used to have a system where those donations needed to be published in elections but because of the court case Citizens United in 2010, they don't have to do this. Big corporations or lobbyists don't have the limitations now, which is why we need to get rid of SuperPACs. Going to Congress isn't about getting rich, its about doing what's right and best for the people. So I think we need to put these tight restrictions in place and reign in on SuperPACs.

My laptop runs Windows 7 Home but I also use my iPad which runs iOS5. Luckly, at the moment, both at the moment can surf the internet unhindered by SOPA.

Thanks for helping me out with that! I posted on my Facebook. Sorry that I hadn't done that before.

You make a good point about insider trading too. It's illegal for the rest of us, it should be just as reprehensible to our leaders.

I'm kind of new to this, what am I supposed to do?

Anti-bullying legislation was one of my passions in the State Senate and I had sponsored the bill even in my early years in the legislature. I brought the bill up when I was first in the Senate in 2006. Bullying is just wrong in my book and I worked hard with Kevin Epling, whose son died as a result of bullying in Michigan, to see a bill go through. But what the Senate ended up passing was absolutely awful and went against everything I was hoping it would achieve.

Like you said, it allowed a license to bully based on strong moral convictions or beliefs. So as long as you believed strongly that a kids was against your beliefs, a kid or a staff member could bully them. I voted no on both bills that went through because they didn't protect kids which is exactly the main point of anti-bullying.

Thanks DJ!
