The petition asks the Federal Government (Social Security Administration) why are "Investors" of this system are losing their homes, dignity, and even their lives waiting to prove to this system that they are disabled and entitled to receive the insurance promised to them when they paid into this program?

Let's lobby for thousands of construction workers ! Opportunity for jobs is being stalled in the USHouse.

I propose that all large or very busy foodservice establishments give their surplus food to the local missions instead of rendering it inedible and throwing it away. All food given to local charities can be written off at full menu price with arrangements made for these charities to pick up the food on a daily or at least weekly basis. Special conditions should also be in place so there would be no liability against the foodservice establishments that the food came from if someone claims to have been made sick from it. Perhaps all who get some of this food will sign a waiver. Tons of perfectly edible food is ruined and thrown away every day and it is only to prevent lawsuits regarding the people who might eat this food and sue the establishment from whence it came. A proper waiver would eliminate this issue and hungry people would get fed as well as foodservice establishments getting tax write-offs. Logic suggests this is a win/win proposal with the right preparation.

Bring needed money back to our infrastructure: schools, hospitals, roads, transportation, eldercare, and other needed services by taxing the 1% that pays less than their fair share of the taxes needed to run these programs.

Creation of National Service in America. All men and women at 18 are responsible to this great nation in which we live, to give a 2 year service to America. Everyone opts for the type of service they will give: military, environmental, child services, infrastructure support, etc. educational support. This introduces millions to a work ethic as well creating a dedication to the country.

to change the way it works it is unfair. an sbsent parent goes to court and is ordered to pay child support but if he wants visitation rights he has to pay $150 and file a petition. Why cant he pay child support and see the child also.

Reduce the deficit, abolish the Hyde Amendment, fund abortion. Unintended pregnancies costs the American tax payer far more. Our current policies pays for the care of unintended pregnancies up to age 18 thru our Social Welfare programs.

Currently there is a limit on the income level which requires contributions to medicare and social security. If we are interested in preserving these critical programs needed for the maintenance of even a modest life style for our elderly we must find sources of additional funding. Currently contributions to these programs ceases at about $106 thousand. Earnings beyond that level are not subject to these deductions either on the part of the employee or employer. Support for these programs should be made by both the employer and employee up to the entire amount of wages paid coupled with a cap on the amount that can be collected.

We need to repeal the Issa legislation that puts an undo and unnecessary burden on the Postal Service to fund their pension and medical obligation in 7 years. The last thing we want to do is put the postal service in bankruptcy and privatize our postal service.

At this time, workers contribute to Social Security on their earned income up to $100,100.00. Once that income level is reached, nothing more goes into the fund. If the cap were eliminated, Social Security would be healthy infinitely. Someone pointed out this week that a star baseball player would play only one inning of one game to meet his obligation.
