Take Our Safety Net Programs Off the Fiscal Cliff Table Now!Even President Obama and too many Democrats appear willing to cut Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid benefits as part of a "grand bargain" to avoid the "fiscal cliff" despite the fact that these are bare bones safety net programs that hard working taxpaying people pay specific taxes for and, if necessary, are willing to increase so that in this richest country in the world our elderly can live their final days in relative comfort and basic dignity. Anything less is a travesty of justice given the harsh regressive tax cut driven disparity of wealth and income in our country fueled by decades of GOP deregulation of greed in the banking, finance, and energy sectors of our economy.317 of 400 SignaturesCreated by John W.

No cuts in Social Security & Medicare entitlementsUnderstand that the very same members of the Senate and Congress OF BOTH DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS who threaten legislative cuts to Social Security and Medicare HAVE NEITHER ENTITLEMENTS. Instead of thinking cuts for the seniors that is a lifeline in our later years when medical needs and daily living are paramount initiate legislation to require those Senators and Congressmen to be merged with those that elected them and remove the outrageous retirement entitlements that no electorate person comes close to..It's never to late in the game to get this done. We the people have spoken. is anybody listening?3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by irwin cohen

Extend Tax Cuts for the Middle ClassIt appears that Congress cannot come to agreement on how to prevent "going over the cliff." However, Republicans and Democrats have consistently and often agreed verbally that tax cuts for the middle class should be extended. We are petitioning Republican Congressional representatives to vote NOW to extend tax cuts for the middle class.104 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Judith Felker

Budget Deficit ResolutionI am very concerned about the budget impasse and the looming fiscal cliff---the intransigence of our political leaders in not listening to constituents--but---especially to be responsible and accountable as elected representatives--to all constituents--not just their party--and to resolve issues which are compromising our democracy in a collaborative manner.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kathleen Heitkamp
