• Don't let Congress scrap Hurricane Sandy Relief
    Last night, House Republican leadership scrapped $60 billion in relief for Hurricane Sandy's victims. At the last minute. With no explanation. This bill will help repair thousands of homes in New York and across the region. It will rebuild damaged roads and bridges. And it will help displaced families get their lives back together. Disaster relief is the federal government's responsibility, whether the disaster happens in New York or New Orleans. It's time Congress acted responsibly.

  • Airports and Transportation
    Please ask the officials of the Greater Los Angles County and Los Angeles representatives to excel and speed up building new rail system directly To/From major Los Angles County airports, especially LAX. Also provide ONE new car rental location for all car rental companies, which is similar in other U.S major cities. Los Angeles is so behind in this type of infrastructure. Both infrastructures will reduce pollution, congestions, and provide more local jobs.

  • Restructure The Criminal system?
    Our currently criminal system is BROKEN!!! It costs us upto $50,000 to keep a criminal incarsirated while the maximum Social Security payment is $30,156. Congress is attacking Social Security to people who payed into the system all their lives expecting to get back what they deserve while criminals who have broken laws are getting almost twice as much.

  • CREATING JOBS WITH PAID TRAINING FOR CHRONICALLY UNEMPLOYED OVER 50
    I have been unemployed since November 2007 and have been unsuccessful in find work in my field of banking. I have been discriminated against because of my age, credit and race. It is hard to proove, but I know it exist. there needs to be some training for the chronically unemployed who were laid off because of no fault of their own. Also there needs to be a 5th unemployment extension for those chronically unemployed over 50 years of age. I am presently not receiving any benefits and my benefits have been exhausted.

  • Healthy New York: Don't Drop Mental Health Coverage!
    New York State's insurance plan for low-income people and families without health care benefits from their place of employment is planning to suspend Mental Health benefits, including virtually all psychiatric prescription medications, beginning February 4. In the wake of the tragic shooting in Newtown, CT. this seems a very short-sighted and preposterous act. Psychiatric illness can affect all of us, not just the patient.

  • House Republicans: Pass the Sandy Aid Bill
    With our recovery hanging in the balance, the House Republican leadership will not allow a vote on the Hurricane Sandy disaster aid bill. The bill has broad, bipartisan support and is needed immediately to start rebuilding hard-hit communities.

  • MEDICARE CHANGES
    I know many that would retire if they could buy into Medicare. That would open jobs for younger workers. Medicare must be here for future generations.

  • President Obama: Remember Your Start in Life
    After becoming disabled at 17, I came to depend on the 'necessary for my survival' money paid me by Social Security. Due to my mother also having a disability, the funds from Social Security helped my father's paycheck cover our bills and keep food on our table. Social Security needs to be kept alive to help the disabled and elderly citizens who depend upon it.
