To help us ring in the New Year, we asked our community of independent-minded voters on [Facebook](http://facebook.com/ivn) to suggest one New Year's resolution for Congress. [Post](https://www.facebook.com/IVN/posts/10151574399362465) by [Independent Voter](https://www.facebook.com/IVN).

While many responses showcased dissatisfaction with the current Congress, asking for their resignation, hundreds of independent-minded voters identified issues that will likely be at the forefront of political debate in 2014.
