We all have to live within our means and make budgets to pay our bills for our homes, utilities and borrowing to buy a car. As elected officials many decisions in the past were make to borrow money for bailing out wall street and wars that were not paid. It time to do your job and figure out a way to pay the country's bill. Just like I cannot walk away from my mortgage, car bill and VISA, you need to do the same and pay the country's bills. To me it is that simple.

The time to make a decision and vote on a fiscal deal is fast approaching. We must take this opportunity to end the Bush tax cuts for the top 2%. At the same time, we must protect Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid benefits from any cuts.

Give tax break for companies that stays in America. For companies that ship jobs overseas tax them at a higher rate.

President Barack Obama is out on the campaign trail asking people to phone/e-mail/tweet/whatever their Senator/Representative to urge them to move the Administration's agenda forward. Let us help!

The Fiscal Cliff. We are all going to be affected if Congress does not resolve this. We will go into a recession, the stock market will tank and more people will lose their jobs.

Why is congress even considering cuts to Medicare? The taxes have already been paid to support it. If the top 1% or 6% have a lower rate than middle and low income Americans, they should pay at least as much.

Making Our Elected Officials, remain the session, continuing to work on and solve This Fiscal Cliff Dilemma, I cannot afford a TAX INCREASE. RAISE the TAXES On all people who make more than $250,00.00 Not The Middle Class and The Poor. Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. I and Millions upon Millions of American People Pay into the system each and every month and the Government Stole Our Money and Must replace it.

The middle class needs the help, not the rich !!

My name is Tyree Johnson, and after working at McDonald’s for 20 years, I still make minimum wage. I’m not a teenager working for extra cash—and neither are most of my coworkers. Today most low-wage workers are adults, many with families that depend on the income from these jobs to keep a roof over their heads and put food on the table. The reality is that most jobs created since the recession have been low-wage jobs. And they’re here to stay, because food service, retail, and healthcare jobs can’t be outsourced to China or Bangladesh. So if we want to create a strong economy and rebuild the middle class, we have to make sure workers in these growing industries—workers like me—earn enough to support our families. And $8.25 an hour, the minimum wage in Illinois, just isn’t enough to live on. In fact, the minimum wage would be over $20/hour if it had kept up with inflation and rising productivity That’s why I’m joining with food and retail employees at stores on the Magnificent Mile and throughout Chicago to win $15/hour and the right to form a union without interference. We call it the Fight for 15. We’re standing together because we believe that when you work for some of the wealthiest corporations in America, you shouldn’t have to rely on public assistance programs just to afford the basics. We believe that when you put in fair day’s work, you should get a fair day’s pay. Working full-time at $15 an hour means $30,000 a year. That sum will allow us to stand on our own and help support our families. It’s enough to get workers like me to spend more at local businesses and spur the city’s economy. And it means Chicago taxpayers won’t have to make up the difference when profitable companies don’t pay us enough to make ends meet and we’re forced to rely on public assistance. There’s so much at stake for our city, and we can’t do it without you. Will you sign this petition in support of our campaign for fair pay and the right to join a union without intimidation?

The Republicans have become the party of "No". If they refuse to come to an agreement on the budget and that leads our country over the fiscal cliff, we will hold them responsible.

Stand up for us and make sure any fiscal deal reached ends the Bush tax cuts for the top 2% AND protects Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid benefits from any cuts.
