John Doe has worked 1/2 his life under SS and is entitled to an SS pension. The same John Doe has worked for the Commonwealth of Mass 1/2 his life and is entitled to a state pension. His Social Security, that he earned, will be reduced by 2/3 because he will receive a state pension that he earned. He should get 100% of what he is entitled to, BOTH SS and state pension. This is not double dipping, this is the way it should be. If you are in agreement, please sign and share.

Cutting the budget is not the best solution for Nebraska's economic problems. We can not maintain the Good Life by cutting the budget.

California's 10th District is a diverse, growing district. President Trump's draft budget would devastate our communities and many of us who live here. Our member of Congress, Jeff Denham can help to stop President Trump's dangerous cuts. Some of the proposed cuts are: -Cutting health care for the poor, including $616 billion in cuts to Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program over the next decade. -$22 billion for the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families. -$143 billion from student loan access. -Eliminate $23 billion in farm subsidies that help to employ Central Valley residents. -and trillions more in devastating cuts. We need Jeff Denham to oppose this drastic budget and get to work focusing on passing a budget that helps all Americans, especially those most in need in places like the Central Valley.

Children and the elderly make up the majority of food stamp recipients. Cuts in Medicaid could leave many Michiganders facing the prospect of losing their health coverage. Trump's budget plan continues his deceitful attack on the disabled and violates his campaign promises. These cuts should be stopped.

After 20 months of talks, the UIS administration forced faculty on strike by bargaining in bad faith and refusing to negotiate issues important to the school community like discrimination and policies that will retain high quality professors. Please sign the petition to demand President Killeen and Chancellor Koch get back to the table and work with faculty to settle a fair contract.

Some nights, I skip dinner to feed my kid. I work hard at McDonald’s – but still make far too little to survive. Senator Bernie Sanders and the Democratic leadership in Congress just introduced a federal bill to help me – and millions like me. A bill to raise the minimum wage to $15/hour across the country. When 200 fast-food workers walked off their jobs in New York City in 2012 to demand $15 an hour and union rights, we were called crazy – President Obama had yet to call for even a $9 an hour federal minimum wage. Then, we WON. Twenty-two million Americans have won raises, totaling $62 billion in the pockets of working people since this fight began. Now, Bernie Sanders and Democrats across the board support $15/hour because we did not stop fighting. And we won’t stop fighting. The current federal minimum wage is $7.25/hour, and it’s simply nowhere near enough for workers and our families to live on. Congress MUST pass this bill to provide help for the millions of people around the nation who barely scrape by every single day.

It is sad that after 10 years as a 100% disabled veteran, the VA can strip away that status. Most veterans are afraid to even volunteer for that reason. It is difficult to go back into the workforce after a period of 10 years of inactivity. So please give federal protection for 100% disabled veterans status, after a period of 10 years of being 100%, instead of the 20 that exists now, barring fraud.

The real purpose of right to work laws is to tilt the balance toward big corporations and further rig the system at the expense of working families. These laws make it harder for working people to form unions and collectively bargain for better wages, benefits and working conditions.

After the social security was enacted in 1935, Franklin Roosevelt called the payroll contributions feature "straight politics" and explained: "We put those payroll contributions there so as to give the contributors a legal, moral and political right to collect their pensions. … With those taxes in there, no damn politician can ever scrap my social security program." Sign this petition to protect Social Security and send a message to Congress and the Trump administration that given a choice, the American people still believe FDR's straight talk over the ever growing proliferation of lies and broken promises of the Trump Administration.
