Don’t cut services for people with special needs in New York. Restore the 6%.The Governor’s proposed budget reduces monies for the Office of People with Developmental Disabilities by more than 7% from the 2012 level and imposes a 6% rate cut on non-profit service providers who care for those with special needs- at a cost far below when the state provides the services directly. At the same time, Albany leadership is considering at least $700 million in new tax cuts. The Assembly and the Senate proposed budgets would restore the 6% ($120 million which triggers an equal federal match). Public reports indicate that the Governor will accept the tax cuts but resists restoring the 6%.407 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Tom Abinanti

NJ Transit Service ProblemsThis petition is about the out-of-hand service problems with NJ Transit trains and buses. The person at NJ Transit headquarters are adversed to addressing blanket situations which continue to grow and get worse, and are only willing to take individual complaints which have been ineffective. The agency overall has spent more money on image and advertising then proper service facilities and eqiptment. The system is being run poorly to the point where it is affecting the quality of life for many New Jerseyans.65 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ken Kassner

Join a march on Washington DC and the state capitals across the country on MAY 25 and 26th to s...There are more than 58,000 homeless seniors and another nine million seniors who can't afford to pay their bills already. Chained CPI will add to those numbers of vulnerable seniors and disabled people who are already struggling to make ends meet. The current CPI already does NOT keep up with inflation, and every year more seniors fall into the category of vulnerable, food insecure, homeless, and unable to pay for basic living expenses. NO CHAINED CPI and INCREASE SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS!335 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Linda Meyer

Please increase the Chained CPI of Social Security for the Social Security Recipients in IL and t...My petition is about the Chained CPI increase in IL and other 49 states in the United States. We have a lot people who are on Social Security Benefits and they need a raise in the Chained CPI, so that they can live a better life and be able to afford their finances and take care of their families. The increase in the Chained CPI is worth it and it is not a waist of money to our taxpayers.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Patrick Scherdin

Save extra food for sheltersI see restaurants and stores throw away food all the time. I heard about a boy starting a petition to end this before in another state. All the shelters or food banks have to do in order to receive the leftover food is sign off on suing if a person gets sick from the food. Please sign this and show that you care about people and are tired of this waste!4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lisa Masto

Stop Boeing from pushing to slash Soc Sec/Medicare & Medicaid under the Guise of 'FIX the DEBT.'Founded by a former Nixon man turned Wall Street billionaire, the phony campaign known as "Fix the Debt" is the nation's single largest advocate of slashing benefits in Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. And unfortunately, it's being propped up by some of the nation's largest corporations, including Boeing, which is headquartered in Illinois.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Leonard Wilson

22 Year Veterans Disability decision in ten minutesVeterans with Disabilities having their claims being decided in an office with VA care providers in less than 10 minutes. If you have been in since the age of 18 and there wasn't anything wrong with you going in, and now for all of those years; why does it take them over two years to come up with a decision. when all they have to do is check your DD214 to see how many times you have been deployed, and where you have been deployed and the type of combat badges you have. After all is said and done the Veteran still has to file and appeal trying to prove that this is service connected, WHY???5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Brian Biddle
