Lithonia is DIRTY, and lacking in sidewalks for those that use public transportation and there are plenty of taxpayers here, so how are our tax dollars being spent????

Part of the issue with Social Security and Medicare solvency revolves around the Baby Boom generation which is beginning to retire. We need to ensure those systems are there for them.

Tax all salaries and wages the same for Social Security (FICA) purposes. There is no justification for a cap on taxable earnings.

A petition urging Elected officials to uncover and correct the reasons for the unreasonable length of the current gas shortages across Long Island and NY State.

Eliminating the Ceiling on the Payroll Tax.

Applying for EDD is a large headache for many disabled citizens in California. I am one of them. You have to call the 800 number at least 60 times or more to get a customer service rep. Once you get them online. The are rushed to do their jobs to meet a quota it seems, so they give out flawed and untrue information to the caller. I have had several reps, tell me 25 statements about receiving the debit card. None were true. The landlord was trying to evict me from my apartment, I had to call the electrical company and beg them not to turn of my electricity. Friends had to loan me monies for food and gas so I could get to the doctors for treatment. I wrote the Governor, called the Governors office several times, they were nice enough to put me through to the Executive Office of EDD, I would leave a message, no one will call you back. I call the Governor's office again, they put me through to the executive EDD office and stayed on the line with me and made sure someone answered, they did and ask for my social security number and and my name and said that they would have someone call me back that day. No one never called me and it is weeks later. I had to fax a letter to the Governor's office with other documents to prove what I was complaining about. I filed for EDD in September and it is November, I still haven't received the debit card yet.

To Extend Social Security Benefits to heterosexual seniors in legally recognized long-term Domestic Partnerships.

We are seeing the ineptitude of LIPA's management here on Long Island in the aftermath of Sandy. Bring a strong organization in to reduce our costs and better communicate with us. This should be the first step in rebuilding long Island's power grid. We ask the Governor to take bold action.

Obama proposed High Speed Rail be created throughout the United States. Somehow or other, it has been side tracked, and/or killed (as by the Florida Governor). I would like to see it prioritized and created throughout the United States as quickly as possible. This is part of the infrastructure that needs attention throughout the country.

Congressmen who vote on Social Security and Medicare cuts should not be allowed have privileged health insurance because they work for us. So if they cut our benefits, they should not be allowed to have special insurance and perks. They should live off of social security like their constituents do.

The Debt Ceiling negotiations with Republicans are a threat to Medicare and Social Security. There should be no cuts to Medicare or Social Security in the :"Grand Bargain" with Republicans.
