  • tragic medicare penalties
    when i was in my 20s i had health insurance thru my fathers business but when he retired and things changed i became sadled with a catostrophic medicare penalty of 110 percent. congress doesnt care. they just love keeping my social security money which i desperately need to live. i think they have taken 20000 dollars from me so far. they justify this by saying i cost them money by late enrollment. just the opposite. all that private insurance my father bought misguidedly saved the government a fortune. I only receive 537 dollars a month in social security. I am disabled and alone in the world. I need my money back to live in the world. I wish senator barbara mikulski and senator ben cardin and congressman dutch rupersberger would care enough to fix this nighmare

  • Fiscal Cliff: Protect Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, Fight For Tax Fairness
    The middle class has been bearing the burden of our nation's economic struggles, we should not also bear the burden of the trickle down deficit. Our social safety net is sacred. Tax fairness is the American way. Investing in jobs and middle class wages is the true priority of the day.

  • Children of Drug and Alcohol Addicted Parents
    Children who have drug and alcohol addicted parents are at extremely high risk of becoming addicts themselves. Studies show that 1 in 4 children living in the United States have a drug or alcohol addicted parent. Many of these children will grow-up to become addicts themselves therefore youth drug and alcohol prevention programs are very important for them. Do NOT let Congress cut funding of the "Drug Free Community Support Program" which funds drug and alcohol prevention programs for youth.

  • Protect the Power Grid
    My community, Bremerton, has never heard about the very real risk of a grid collapse, which no one would want to live through, period. Thus, it has absolutely no plans whatsoever for surviving, let alone preparing for, a possible grid-down situation. Securing the grid from lethal damage must be top priority to protect ourselves and our children, as no one can survive without the grid. Even food and water will be inaccessible without it.
