• Social Security cuts
    As an 80 year old disabled woman, I am distressed to hear that you have offered to include Social Security cuts in your budget. I get less than $1,000 a month now -- I don't know how I could get by with any less! I had about $70k in savings, but when the economy went under, that amount was reduced by half. I have been supplementing the SS with small amounts of the savings, but now they are so depleted, I really need that $1,000 with prices so high! Joan Moeller Minnetonka, MN

  • Stop proposed cuts to Social Security.
    Please let the White House and Majority Leader Reid know that cuts to Social Security benefits would be painful to retirees like so many of us who rely on SS for medicine, food, and daily necessities.

  • Reclassify the Westboro Baptist Church as a hate group, thus revoking their tax exempt status.
    While the antics of the Westboro Baptist Church have littered the media in recent years, it isn't until lately that these fanatics have truly hit bottom. The church has announced its plans to picket the funerals of the children killed in the recent Connecticut school shooting. While previous picketing of other funerals (including those of soldiers) have been distasteful to say the least, it is now that this group has surpassed the threshhold of attention grubbing zealots to an organization focused entriely on the perpetuation and advocation of hate.

  • Senator Dick Durbin, and Majority Leader Reid please help senior citizens on social security
    People on social security including myself need our social security benefits to survive - they should not be cut. This is not how to solve the fiscal crisis. Everyone should do their fair share in paying taxes to slowly correct this problem. The rich should pay the same percentage that I do. Why should they be getting a tax break? Please fight on behalf of the majority of people in the United States. Thank you.

  • TAX AMMO
    I have been shot in the head, I'm a victim of gun violence. We need to tax ammo. Guns can't kill without ammo. The revenue generated can pay for the health care costs that are generated by gun violence. Please join me in starting a movement to TAX AMMO.
