We are a retired military family. After 26 years of service to our country, we were finally able to put down roots and become home owners. The weakened economy has caused my husband to be downsized twice since he retired. Although he is thankfully employed again, the loss of the Mortgage Interest Deduction will increase our tax burden by thousands of dollars. It will have a significant impact on our finances and those of many middle class families. I call on the President, and the lawmakers of both Houses to retain this essential deduction for struggling middle class families who wish fervently to keep their homes.

People lost over 30% of their retirement savings during the economic downturn, which disproportionately affected those nearing retirement. This has caused many people in their 50's and 60's to delay retirement, thereby not freeing up jobs for younger people. We believe that a tax waiver for the first $60,000 of retirement investments (IRA'S, 401K's) per year will result in greater economic security for retirees, and open up additional jobs.

This retirement is a proven system, this retirement has been built for over 100 years over 36,000 days. The Railroad is the history of the movement of the United States, The reason why we are where we are today, and the blood, hard earned sweat and years of life it has taken from our American families. I am a Veteran, a fourth generation railroader and I know how hard the history of railroaders have worked and what they gave up for our security. It is the system that us middle class have strived for our security, it's not that we are not willing to help but we have strength as a Union and is what America needs more of. We need to make more systems like railroad retirement not get rid of it for a short fix... Its like getting rid of the VA, is that next.

Help save the United States Post Office by urging Congress to eliminate a $5.5 billion pre-funding requirement. The pre-funding requirement is an unnecessary burden on the Postal Service. The Postal Service has met its obligation and has over funded retiree's health benefits by $75 billion.

I work like for those who are disabled to be able to work a part- time job to first be able to pay back into the system in which supplies there income. its like working to pay back what is being given to you. Then you can also have extra money so that you won't be , struggle to make ends meet . This would also allow you to have a since of purpose in life . There are no programs in Ohio that do that. On disability if you work for a long of they review the case and take you off disabiltytime

Paul Ryan was in Janesville, Wisconsin for Labor Day, his hometown in his home district. People who approached him to ask questions were treated with condescension, flippancy and rudeness. Their questions were about jobs and the economy. Mr. Ryan's views are more relevant than ever as a candidate for Vice President and in a community that has lost a GM plant. I live in Janesville.

Stay at home moms, who now have grown children, and men and women over 50 needing to return to the work force, have a hard time getting work, now competing with a younger generation. We need an opportunity to be trained and able to work again, not feeling like we're outcasts because we've dedicated our lives to raising our children, or because of age.
