• Social Security locked fund
    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?

  • Preserving our Old West End Historic District Landscape
    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.

  • Restore Pennsylvania Human Services Budgets for FY'13
    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.

  • Get Homeless Vets off the Streets of the U.S.

  • Brayden's Law
    My son Brayden has autism. Child care centers keep denying him care because they cannot handle him or know how to deal with autism. I want there to be a law to protect children with autism. All child care providers should be required to take a course on caring for autistic children.

  • Fix the Subways of NYC
    Comparing the status of the New York City subway system to many international models, there is much work we could do to clean the subway areas, and replace old models with newer, quieter, faster ones. This would highly improve the infrastructure of New York, an extremely international city, in an area that has been neglected for far too long.

  • Non-custodial parents have rights too
    Why is it that non-custodial parents always have to fight for joint physical custody and only get every other weekend visitation? The court system makes it hard financially and emotionally for non-custodial parents to be just that PARENTS.

  • Revision of Social Security Payment Schedule
    Social Security payments should be made on a date certain (like they used to be) rather than a certain day of a certain week of the month. Recipients now must wait five weeks several months in the year before receiving their payment, which throws off the recipient's payment of other monthly obligations, thereby making those payments overdue. Social Security Administration is an entity unto itself much like the Internal Revenue Service, and the people of the United States have no recourse. They will not even respond to individual correspondence.
