Tom Corbett has adopted the normal right wing agenda-elevate the rich and powerful at the expense of the 99%. His cuts to programs involving the most vulnerable of our residents and his cuts to education are truly unconscienable..

Promotes a popular initiative to create a single payer healthcare system that removes the burden of healthcare from businesses. This should rapidly and dramatically increase employment, particularly for small business.

Instead of raising postage prices for regular people to send letters, let's cut down on junk mail (helping the environment AND ridding ourselves of an annoyance) by charging double postage for junk mail! This could be instituted easily by simply forcing all postage machines to charge double the normal postage rate, since any mass mailings would require automated machines (not licking stamps and placing by hand).

We see a downturn in what was a very slow but steady recovery. We are now at a dangerous crossroads. It is past time for you to stand with us and work to create positive steps to correct the problems in our economy... Infrastructure, Jobs, Housing, Tax Code, Entitlements, Election Financing. Today is a long way from the election... but it is the first day of the rest of your tenure. Use it wisely.

Store owners of our community who do not live in or contribute to our community, are co-dependants in the drug use in our community. By providing cash for link $6.00 for $10.00 that is given. Enabling the welfare percipient to continue to be able to take from their children's mouth or their own, to finance whatever, that's not food related. Some may be doing to pay bills, but it still is not legal or fair, to them, but their desperate, and addicted, and the store owners, prey on that and get richer, and richer, and our resisdents become or remain, poverty stricken, drug addiction, homelessness, and other health issues, such as cancer,emphysema, (cigerettes or also purched with link in these facilities) child abuse and or neglect continues, all which ultimately take from our Communities.

It is time to lift the cap on social security. Currently people in higher income brackets pay Social Security only on the bottom part of their income. They have taken away our pensions, worked to dismantal unions, and suggested we turn the Social Security Trust Fund to Wall Street in order to be "business friendly." It is time for our return government to being for all the people, not just those who make over $250,000.

It is time that unions don't carry all the load. It is time for Democrats to get off their butts and talk to people face to face and tell them the truth one on one!

The Washington Street enhancement project we are proposing would calm traffic, make the street walk-able and bike-able, and also have bioswales and/or permeable paving to capture runoff & debris and re-charge groundwater supplies. We think all these things would increase business for businesses at the top and bottom of the canyon, and also make Mission Hills more beautiful and accessible.

Put Social Security funds in a locked account so the money can't be used for anything but Social Security. How would the elected officials like it if we took their pension funds and used it for other purposes?

Prevent the widening of Collingwood Blvd. and the destruction of 72 curbside trees. The city of Toledo plans to go ahead with this project despite the fact that traffic does not warrant it and the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 was not complied with: No neighborhood residents were involved throughout the planning, nor were they informed of their rights, as per federal law.

The PA “FY13 cuts to human services combined with the County Human Services Block grant threaten to cut the underpinnings of our human services safety net. Some services could receive cuts as high as a 40% to 50% because programs with mandates may preempt their funding. County Commissioners oppose the Block Grant because there is no time to respond to the changes, fair distribution of funds will be difficult and county versus State funding has not been addressed. The people who will suffer are the homeless, returning veterans, those who need addiction, mental health, disability, child welfare and medical services and more. Service providers will close and may never be replaced. It is highly possible the money saved will be usurped by increased prison and emergency medical costs.

We're urging both Veolia Transportation and communities of Long Island village and towns mayor to improve NICE Bus Service Alert.
