The great majority of citizens in Montana are low wage earners. They deserve and need to have their Social Security Benefits secure and undiminished, permanently! There is no justification for asking them to sacrifice their meager benefits to pay for the reckless losses of the banksters and their corrupt politicians that put our economy at risk and sank it.

I have carefully planned my life. Even after getting Multiple Sclerosis, I planned my retirement so that I would have enough to live comfortably. Any change in these plans, that is not for the BETTER, will cause me, the careful planner, to live at a lower level than planned. It is just not fair.

Social Security is my main source of income. Payments are not keeping pace with inflation even now, and cuts would make the situation worse.

As a part of the Lexus EcoChallenge, our group is trying to solve problems of Global Warming. This includes reducing greenhouse gas emissions, mainly carbon dioxide. Transportation accounts for about 31% of total U.S. CO2 emissions and 26% of total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions in 2011. Greater access to public transportation, will reduce the amount of cars on the road reducing CO2 emissions.

I am the mother of an autistic son who likes to wonder off. I have tried to get help from the waiver, paying for a device that would keep track of where my son is at in case he wonders, and would also alert me if he got a certain distance away for his own safety. It would also allow him to do small things somewhat independently without sacrificing his safety. Many autistic individuals go missing and are harmed needlessly.

If SNAP benefits are cut it will affect many people who are already struggling with hunger. Many children go to school hungry every day and this number will only grow if SNAP benefits are cut.

The KVCC Administration with the approval of the Board of Trustees has included in the college's 2015-19 Master Plan to "repurpose" the top floor of the college library and the lower-level student lounge. The library is the heart and soul of an academic institution. The student lounge is a heavlly-used meeting spot for KVCC students.

Recent news reports say President Obama is once again willing to sacrifice Social Security in the next round of budget negotiations with the Republicans, which may be just six weeks away. California voters, we can’t let that so-called “grand bargain” happen. It’s not a bargain, it’s a betrayal–a betrayal of Americans who’ve worked hard all their lives and paid into Social Security. The good news is that Social Security champions like Senator Tom Harkin not only have said “No!” to cuts, they’ve put forward a common sense plan to strengthen Social Security. But before Sen. Harkin’s “Strengthening Social Security Act of 2013" can get to a vote, it needs more co-sponsors. That’s where you come in: Sign this petition urging our Senators Boxer and Feinstein to co-sponsor Sen. Harkin’s bill. The more Senators that co-sponsor the Harkin bill, the louder and clearer the message is to the media, Senate and House Republicans, and President Obama: “Social Security cuts are off the table. Period. End of story.” Like millions of hardworking Americans, I worked and paid into Social Security for nearly 60 years, and my employers paid too. Join me in urging Senators Boxer and Feinstein to co-sponsor the Harkin bill. You’ll be taking an important step for keeping America’s promise to pay the benefits we earned, including cost-of-living raises which really keep up with inflation. You'll be saying "No" to "Chained CPI," which would cost the average retiree almost $100 a month after ten years.

I was truly amazed at the uninformed comments by Sen. Durbin when discussing the financial state of Social Security. I had assumed he actually knew the bare facts and would act responsibly to ensure that the agreement made by the United States government to the workers in the United States would be honored by federal lawmakers. I'm grateful that I have a chance to express my feelings to this "Representative" who, in his arrogance, is overlaying his desires and wishes over his constituents and expecting them to suffer in silence. If enough of us speak up, hopefully a significant number of our "representatives" will listen and actually do their job

Most of us skaters can not get all the way out to the skatepark we currently have. The current skatepark we have breaks a lot and does not conform to all of our skating styles. Most of the skaters in Searcy skate around business' of downtown Searcy. If we had a skatepark that was in downtown Searcy it would keep us out of the local business' way.

You should be concerned because one day your child may come home hungry and upset because they could not eat at school all day and had to watch others eat. I have seen this happen and had it happen to a family member and I am a mother of a child that will be in school in a few years.

I am on Social Security. It's not an "entitlement." I have paid into Social Security all of my working life. And so have you! Do not let the federal government steal our money! Social Security is solvent. It should not be touched. Let the government take money from the bloated Pentagon budget, or from corporations that pay no taxes.
