There is too much economic information out there about the need for reforming "entitlements"to ignore. But all the suggestions are about cutting benefits. We need a Progressive alternative that guarantees social security for the future an d helps working and middle class people.

Extending SNAP benefits due to expire on November 1, 2013.

Mail will be delayed if mail is all processed in Milwaukee. I am a postal employee with 16 years in and I may be forced to relocate.

This home for the homeless has been there for ages. All because of greed, this home has been forced to sell. Just because Western & Southern had the money to fight, the court should have not approved this. All this greed and selfishness has come to a `take by force' action with no regard to the homeless and those who find refuge in this home.

I was recently informed by the Division of Child Support Services saying that I could not get child support payments, because my kid's father gets SSI and they could not continue with the child support process based on the type of SSI benefits he’s receiving. I also can’t receive social security benefits for my kids either because there father is receiving the maximum amount of benefits, based on his lack of work history. I feel like that should not even be a law, this is preventing the father from paying child support, which is just morally WRONG!!!! The government system is really messed up on SO many levels, but this one hits home for me and yes this is affecting me personally. With the help and support of other I'm hoping I can get the results I want. Thank You.

With the coverage of other certain parties being allowed we feel that the retirees should be offered the same privileges and the state retirees being that they get benefits for life. The county employees meanwhile lose their benefits at age 65. While the families and the other certain parties just added by congress and state making it legal for them to be counted as family qualify for full benefits as married partners etc. So at least count us as the same as State employees and allow us to draw insurance benefits for lifetime or at a family rate.Hard to live on widows pension.Paid into same system. Their family draws benefits for life so should the paying retirees of county who paid.

Veterans should have a answer within a reasonable time which is 120 days.

The misleading use of the term "Entitlements" which suggests expectations without any responsibility on the part of the recipient. It has encouraged the attempts to cut Social Security Benefits by the Republicans and now President Obama.

A couple of years ago Fairfax County Government created "Controlled Lanes" that are open at rush hour and closed all other times. Everyday I sit in heavy or gridlock traffic during off peak times and see those controlled lanes closed when could be open easing the flow of traffic, why are they closed?? REVENUE! So cops can write us tickets. We as tax paying citizens paid for those roads and should have the final say on how we would like to use them! If you are sick of seeing those controlled lanes closed and creating heavy traffic help by signing this petition and get them open!

I want to repeal the William Bradley Amendment and have Congress enact a law that will be fair and stay within the boundaries of the U.S. Constitution. As the existing child support law stands, there is no relief or solution to resolving the financial burden. I believe both parents should be held liable for raising their children not the burden on the one parent. We need to work together to improve family equality not destroy it.

Solving the financial mess in Medicare and Social Security

Post Office buildings are being sold nationally. Hundreds of these are listed on, or are eligible for, the National Historic Registry. Also many of these include priceless New Deal artwork including murals painted on the walls, around windows and doors. There is no guarantee these buildings will remain part of the public domain yet taxpayers paid for them and their art. These Post Office buildings were meant to provide democratic spaces where the public would enjoy art - even in the most remote towns and villages. They must remain in the public domain and should not be sold! For more information visit the websites: Save the Post Office and National Post Office Collaborate
