When is the Government going to repay Social Security all the money it has "borrowed" and why is it that when you can't pass the budget you threaten Social Security recipients with no pay? And why is it that you can give yourselves COLA raises but not retired people? I would love to "struggle" on $100.000 + a year.

Why are you blocking a stand-a-lone Kate's Law in the Senate? Attaching to anything else only reinforces the low public opinion that Congrees now holds -- SINGLE digits!

Why are riders allowed on any bill? This should be stopped! Let the bill stand on their own. This way we can see how are representatives are looking out for our interest

When will Congress engage in their leadership role of "raising an Army" and "declaring war?"

We constantly hear politicians claim they care about veterans. However, almost ALL programs and/or nonprofits are best at damaging us, keeping us homeless and underemployed.

What will be done about this or are we going to continue to be held hostage by the comfortable who have no sense of urgency?

Hello Senator. I have two questions. 1. Why do say the Senate should continue to resist executing it's constitutional duty to provide the President with advice and consent regarding filling the Supreme Court vacancy? 2. Since President Obama was re-elected in 2012, why have you continued to obstruct him as you did during his first term while trying to make sure he was a "one term president"?

Why is the GOP so afraid of Pres. Obama and caves in to his every desire. Why doesn't the GOP ever force a veto or a downvote? Why has the Legislative branch of our government ceded its powers to the Executive branch?

Are you really such a racist that you cannot accept that our President is the legitimate duly elected President. And you want to make a failure of him and his administration. This all stems from your comment "It is my job to insure that this is a one term President". How's that working out for you?

Start being an American instead of a politician! The RP has failed in its job as have the Demoncrats! Let's be Americans first!

Senator, do you believe that it's possible for Republican office holders at every level of government to publicly endorse fellow Republicans Gary Johnson and William Weld as 2016 Libertarian Party candidates for POTUS & VP, respectively, and at the same time get behind fellow members of the GOP running in all other races, without anticipating negative consequences to their own present or future reelection bids, campaign funding, committee chairmanships or other leadership positions within the GOP caucus? And also, regardless of such potential repercussions, and setting aside political analysis of whether a Third Party ticket has a better chance of actually winning a plurality of electoral votes in 2016 or at least winning enough to send the election to the House of Representatives to be decided, versus simply playing the role of spoiler as in 1912, 1968, 1992 and 2000, would you agree that it is more important for any voter (office holder or plain citizen) to follow their conscience than to be bound by party loyalty, if they judge that a presidential candidate may be a dangerously unbalanced character?

Mitch McConnell - What are your views on putting the military back in charge of diplomatic mission ( embassy and consular ) security in countries where diplomatic personnel and their "technical support" staff are at an increasing risk of kidnapping, torture, and death? In my opinion, the inability of Benghazi and other diplomatic outpost personnel to plan and communicate, and receive necessary timely, direct, and effective military support ( orbiting AC-130 gunship etc ) puts diplomatic personnel at undue risk - and should not be tolerated. USDOS DPS have access only to small arms - and must of necessity rely on the host country ( ineffective ) and our military forces ( insufficiently engaged now ) to mobilize emergency response and heavy weapons to hold and/or evacuate our diplomatic missions. What can you do with the Senate and the House to ensure military coverage for diplomatic personnel? Warmest Regards, Sandy
