ORANGE LINE VS. BLUE LINEDuring this past Summer, Metro implemented a 'new rush' schedule which eliminated most of the Blue Line service and increased the Orange Line service. The public needs more Blue Line service in order to reach such destinations as Foggy Bottom/GW University/GW Hospital, Farragut West, Arlington Cemetery, Ronald Reagan Airport, The Pentagon and Pengaton City Mall all of which are on the Blue Line, some are popular tourist attractions. We need this service returned.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lisa M. Ellis

KEEP SOCIAL SECURITY, MEDICARE & MEDICADE OFF THE DEBATE TABLE!Social Security and Medicare are not ENTITLEMENTS. Workers have paid into the funds all of their working lives, and the money goes into a separate fund. Medicaid is for people who have fallen on hard times and need the basics to survive.146 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Lori Picarella

Do not raise the Medicare eligibility age-it's BAD Arithmetic!Want to start a real generational war? Then keep bringing up the solution to Medicare funding that does not add up. The Kaiser Family Foundation did the math, raising the medicare eligibility age to 67 will save the government 5.7 billion but would end up costing every citizen and state and federal government 11.4 billion! Raising the Medicare eligibility age instead of focusing on the speculative COST of health care is bad for everyone's health!1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Sean Denoyer

Entitlement reform must impact current as well as future participantsSupport for entitlement reform is contingent upon exempting current plan participants but any changes made should be borne equally by all Americans2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by gregory mattox

Ammo sales taxes pay for mental healthWorking in social services for over 22 years, I have watched programs for the poor and mentally ill lose funding and support. It is devastating to watch the poor and mentally ill lose the ability to be served. I have also watched how some people's desire for individual freedoms appear to trump the freedoms of the masses. Gun ownership is one of these individual freedoms that has many times impacted the freedoms of the masses. We witness this everyday in the violence we see and hear about. When we take care of those who cannot take care of themselves, we celebrate the freedoms of everyone.7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by bernadette pauls

Leave Social Security and Medicare out of fiscal negotiationsRumors that entitlements such as Medicare and Social Security will be considered as a negotiation tool in the debt ceiling and to reduce the deficit. Even the President has mentioned it being on the table. Please sign this petition, warning Congress and the White House to leave Medicare and Social Security alone.10 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Robin Hill

Relief for Victims of Hurricane SandyThe past few years have seen a series of natural disasters that have devastated people's lives, with Hurricane Sandy's effects being the worst. Senator Kelly Ayotte voted to block federal relief for those who have suffered from the hurricane, a moral disaster that matches Sandy's natural destructiveness.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by John Raby
