Our current deficit problems could be fixed without touching Social Security and Medicare. It could be fixed as suggested by President Obama by eliminating the tax breaks for billionaires, millionaires, and corporations.

To ensure H1-B visas are not used to import cheaper workers and suppress American's wages, enact a minimum annual salary requirement of at least $150,000. America wants the world's best and brightest, so let them come. But, if they really are the best and brightest, they should at least be able to command a salary of $150,000.

Out of control tax cost and rising (School & Property, including fire, & water) I must INCLUDE ALL SURROUNDING COUNTIES.

Promote active citizenship, community learning, and direct democracy through our voter initiative to change the Oakland City Charter so that we the people decide how our tax money is spent.

Hundreds of thousands of federal employees are going to be furloughed due to the sequester. The politicians in DC don't care about them or the hit to our economy that this will cause.

Senior citizens who have worked all of their lives depend on this "PROMISE" to be here!!! Disabled Americans also depend on their benefits, however small, to help them live when work is no longer an option.

President Obama wants to cut Social Security. We cannot afford to have any cuts to Social Security.

This will hurt the Disabled the Retired and our Disabled Veterans and is Just Plain Wrong!!

I, and many others have worked for many years paying into Social Security. Personally, I worked for 49 years, since I was 14 years old, and have fortunately NEVER been unemployed. I voted for, and support President Obama, BUT, he must not take from the less fortunate, and give more to the 'Well to do' - It is simply wrong! Prices on every item go up, everyday, NOT down! I am shocked and very disappointed in our President, that he and congress would allow this to happen. PLEASE, urge OUR LEADERS, to NOT CUT SOCIAL SECURITY, OR VETERANS BENEFITS. I never thought I would get personally involved in this important issue, but I cannot allow the Tea Party/Republicans, or Obama to try to balance the budget off the backs of the less fortunate. Please help. Thank You.

The news that the President is now going to change up Social Security.

YES, I WILL BE AFFECTED BY THIS PROPOSAL

Lots of Arkansans will be affected by this bill because it will .The cuts will affect new awards but is not supposed to affect those currently already receiving scholarships.
