Our goal is to save the U.S. Postal Service from drastic cuts in service. We want the postal service to cease closing mail processing plants. We want the postal service to continue 6 day delivery and we want the postal service to stop closing post offices and cutting retail operating hours. Our goal is to see the dramatic pre payments into retirement accounts to stop and be returned to the postal service. We are proud of our postal network in Illinois and want to keep it the way it is.

We must STOP the dismantling of the United States Post Office. It is required by the U.S Constitution and is highly valued by young and old alike.

Since Congressional member wish to put Medicare, Social Security and Medicaid on the 'chopping block', they must first surrender the very generous benefits given to them by their constituents, the American people. The Congressional benefits are not 'entitlements' as the Congress people do not contribute to them - rather the public does. If they start there, then we can think about the rest.

I, and many of those who live in Brunswick County, NC have been and will be deeply impacted by the measures you are ramming through Legislature to reduce our unemployment benefits and pay. I do not recall this measure as part of your election campaign and I am appalled that you are allowing a small portion of the State to decide the fate of those of us who want to work but have been unable to find a job offering livable wages. Our cost of living has far out reached the current minimum wages, and please don't tell me it is the Employers who pay the unemployment insurance fee's we too are paying them. I feel that you and those who are Lobbying for the new "unemployment" overhaul are out of touch with the reality of those of us who attempting to survive. I am a taxpayer, I bought a home, I have when was I able to, contributed to the local and State economy. It is actually our tax payer dollars that are paying your salaries and those who work for the City, County and State government. How dare you cast aside the people who are financially supporting you!

THE ONLY THING WRONG WITH THE GOVERNMENT'S CALCULATION OF AVAILABLE SOCIAL SECURITY IS THEY FORGOT TO FIGURE IN THE PEOPLE WHO DIED BEFORE THEY EVER COLLECTED A SOCIAL SECURITY CHECK!!! WHERE DID THAT MONEY GO?

I have been personally researching this "private" highway since last April. I can see no long-term benefits to Mainers. We are simply the easiest way for way for big investors to get products out to foreign markets, while opening Maine up for resource extraction to those same markets.

Professionals were encouraged to enter into the teaching profession when, in particular, there was a shortage of math & science teachers. Now the thanks they get for helping the children and state of California is they cannot collect all the money they put into Social Security.

The United States Postal Service has just announced that due to budget shortfalls, mail will no longer be delivered on Saturdays starting in August. It's true the post office faces financial challenges. But the financial problems are in large part a direct result of an onerous and ill-considered 2006 law called the "Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act" (PAEA) that mandates pre-funding the postal service retiree health care and pension benefits for 75 years — something that no other government agency or private company is forced to do. The vast majority — 85% — of the budget red ink comes from this pre-funding mandate despite the fact that, according to the post office Inspector General, the pension is over-funded and reserves for retiree health care are far higher than the federal government as a whole, the military and almost all Fortune 1000 companies. The PAEA was created by Republicans intent on goal: Killing a government service for the sake of proving that government can't work. Tell Congress: Don't let Republicans kill the post office.

ITD plans to re-locate a major highway over a local landmark, Paradise Ridge. This route (E-2) will be more subject to dangerous winter weather, and will put at risk critical patches of the native Palouse Prairie Ecosystem of which there is only 0.1% remaining. Other alternatives will stay off the ridge and do much less environmental damage.
