Governor Branstad: Stop the closing of Linn County OptionsMy son Hunter works at Linn County Options, which is being subject to change, closing or restructuring because of the Holmens act. We do not want our choices taken away from us or made for us. Hunter loves going to work everyday at Options and I love it too for pure simple reason of security and safety that he could not achieve outside of a controlled work enviroment.1,294 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Jenny Ciha

Supplement SSI for Special Needs ChildrenLet's ask North Carolina to supplement SSI to assist parents of minor children whose disability prevents them from working full time or working at all. $721 is not enough especially when food stamps are negatively impacted!! This is NOT a handout it is much needed assistance for parents and/or caregivers who face the everyday challenges of caring for a child with special needs.12 of 100 SignaturesCreated by CL Owens

Some have proposed outright benefit cuts, while others have tried to pass changes to the formula like "chained CPI."

Special Education Adult Students are Left BehindI have a Daughter that is Special Needs Adult. For MANY years we have watched cuts being made by our government. There are many parents who go through this. These are the people who truly need your support. People with a disability often never have a voice or never get to vote on issues that would impact them. You are their voices. It is time to make a stand. Be that voice. Parent90 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lori McNally
