Windfall elimination provision must be repealed .Public workers , teachers anyone collecting a state pension having prior work in a job where social security was collected is being unfairly discriminated against by the federal government. Since 1985 when the government enacted this rule for social security receipients millions of people have had their social security payment eliminated or drastically reduced. We are asking congress to eliminate the WEP and allow those who have earned a social security benefit to collect what they have earned.11 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Brad

Make Social security a non-negotiable earned benefit.The Congress keeps abusing the funds and disrespecting the retired people that made the fund solvent. .Fi.c.a.. is a payroll tax paid in equal parts by the employee and employer for every hour worked. It is not an entitlement it's a non-negotiable earned benefit.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Charles Lucas

Welfare and Tax FraudWelfare recipients attest under penalty of perjury that they are separate households from anyone else with whom they reside. This means that all income earned by others is excluded from determination of eligibility. Often, parents or others close to the applicant provide rent reciepts and attest to preparing food separately. Yet, many of these family members claim the welfare recipients as dependents on their income tax return, obtaining tax credits and reduced tax liabilty. Though illegal, there is no current audit program, and the welfare records are protected under privacy laws. Your representative in Congress should be alerted to the need for a task force to investigate this type of fraud and to put a program in place that will prevent its continuance. Additionally, all individual taxpayers should be granted access to welfare records when cases in which they may be implicated are brought to the attention of the taxing authorities.7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Debra Reedy

Change Medicare ID numbersIdentity theft of social security numbers is growing by leaps and bounds. I now have to prove I'm "me" because someone chose to use my social security number to file taxes with the IRS. We're told never to carry our social security cards in our wallets to protect against theft, while always having to carry our Medicare cards for proof of health insurance. Stop using social security numbers for Medicare ID numbers.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Susan Shmoys

MBTAThis petition will have longer hours of running trains. This is an issue because we pay more than the citizens of new york whom trains run all day and night. We need less drunk driving accidents and more freedoms to get around. Not only I but many others agree that if the cost of train fare raise we also want more out of the system.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Alexandria D
