Only state certified social workers should be working in child protectionIt has come to my attention that many child protection agencies across the country are making major decisions about families and have only a four year degree which does not have to be in social work, psychology or child development or be state certified. Many supervisors and even directors of these said agencies are not state certified and can hold degrees in other unrelated disciplines and yet can make life or death decisions about our nation's abused children and their families. Lawmakers should ensure that state agencies employ and ensure their personnel who work with such sensitive issues are qualified by more than attending a four year program in some subject to take children from their parents or provide intervention.9 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Barbara Watson

Stop government social security dipping!!Social Security is for the citizen of We the People!! Social security was never meant for government to get their hands on to spend as they will.... Social security money belongs to We the People, not the elected officials who are suppoese to represent our interests!! Social security does not belong in any government budget planning and i demand that it be removed from any current legislation in progress!! This is unconstitutional and against laws voted in by the Congress of the People of these United States.... Listen to us! We demand a redress of grievences and they must be met!! This situation is almost identical just before our founding fathers decided to cede from Britian and its tyranny!!1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by AJ

Curbing and blacktopMy family and myself have been trying to get the city of Quincy to finish the road between Fifteenth and sixteenth streets on Monroe for as long as we have been at this address. I was told that the only way to get blacktop on our street was to have curbs and the only way to get that was to petition the city for it with all the names from the block to sign it.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Dean Williams

Social Security early out optionThe worst option for helping Social Security is cutting benefits . Raising the individual ceiling and a Robinhood tax are great but an added option is to allow voluntary early outers who accept a lower benefit to do so without an added 50% penalty for continuing to work and continue paying into the system.Ending the penalty would make the option more favored and save SS much money at the lower benefit level..3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Raymond OBrien

NC Legislature: Do not require drug testing to public assistance recipientsThe NC Legislature is about to pass laws that require drug tests for public assistance recipients. This is unconstitutional and will cost the state too much. If these laws pass, all public officials should be required to submit to annual random drug tests as well.170 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Joshua Bradley
