If the GOP and the Ryan plan harm Social Security for all who paid into it, the government will owe us all what we paid into it.

This petition is to stop the largest property residential corporation from trying to destroy "Rent Control" and "Below Market Rate" apts laws. Anyone who believes in fair housing laws should sign.

Governor Jerry Brown is racing his plan to put all Medicare AND Medicaid recipients into managed care. This means that we could lose the ability to choose our own workers We may have to live according to a schedule of the managed care plan. There is even language in the plans that mentions the words "in home institutionalization"! We are not sick. We have physical or cognitive limitations, why should our own homes become mini nursing homes?

When I look at the shopping carts of many people who are on food stamps, there is often so much unhealthy junk going home to feed their families. Obeisity, diabetes, heart problems and overall poor nutrition could be solved if there was a restriction on the what foods could be purchased with food stamps. With the exception of some staple items such as bread and pasta (whole wheat preferably) items should be limited to single ingredient foods: such as milk, eggs, meat, fish, vegetables, fruit, potatoes, whole grains. Yes, it may take some relearning in the cooking of more simple foods, but convenience foods with 15-20 or more mostly unpronouncable ingredients, artificial flavorings, food color and fillers are slowly killing our nation

There is rampant food stamp abuse in this country because our goverment employees who grant them do not verify income to the required extent. Every self-employed person I've ever met has the ability to make their income as close to zero with no scrutiny. Conversely, these same people, many of whom are renters, have to prove that they make enough income in order to obtain housing. Every person that applies for food stamps should have to provide their landlord's contact info so that a nexus can be made between the two incomes reported to the different entities. This may in fact provide a bit of extra work for the food stamp case workers and landlords, but I believe every taxpayer in America providing for themselves would support the extra effort. I would and I am a property manager who sees abuse of food stamps, section 8 assistance, bogus disability awards, and the list goes on.

To end War and Disease: We must: 1) Expose how the Secret Societies manipulate govt's with central banks to enough people. 2) Stop paying taxes on labor which go to Rothschilds, not us. Those are NOT LEGAL TAXES! 3) Learn how the Constitution, equity, common, and admiralty/maritime law actually work (See: UCC_Connection), and START PROSECUTING THE BAD GUYS (Rothschilds, Morgans, Rockefellers, police, judges, congress people, and sooooooo many more). 4) Learn that the cure for all disease is to eat ONLY foods that have existed in nature for millions of years in such a way that you balance your Ph to just over 7.1, you have the right proportions of the 42 "Essential Nutrients" which your body cannot produce, and you detoxify your body with natural means like berry and fruit juice and distilled water.

I want to make it clear to the Lone Star Rail District that its passenger rail service will not be successful if it forces people to rely on the public transit network in the cities it serves; in addition to information brochures, there needs to be the option for the passenger to transport his automobile on the train with him.

Insted of going to China put on some work clothes and fix our streets.

Thousands of low income families and homeless individuals have been displaced in New York City because of the lack of affordable housing. The city needs to come up with a viable plan to addresses this growing problem... more needs to be done and city officials need to be held accountable as to what they are doing about the problem and stop selling New York City families and New Yorkers down the drain to big real estate developers.

According to Jerry Knight , A business Columnist for the Washington Post (article dated Monday March 20, 2006 titled Infrastructure: A Road to Riches?)The Chicago Skyway was sold to "a pair of Spanish and Australian companies" ("Cintra SA and Maquarie Infrastructure Group")and "Goldmann Sachs & Co, made $9 million advising Chicago on the sale."

Help our state realize that our foster children need more protection from the hurt and pain than their parents do. Termination of parental rights is seen as a "death sentence" to a parent in the eyes of the court. It is time to realize that some parents are a death sentence to their children.

It would eliminate the limit for FICA with-holdings and require that such with-holdings be paid on all income. Presently, any income over~ $106,000 per year is exempt from FICA. This change would require high income earners to pay the same percentage as everyone else and would help solve any real or perceived issues of solvency of the SS Trust fund.
