Paul Ryan and Congress want to cut Social Security & Medicare in 2018.

In an effort to protect the dignity of the most vulnerable in Virginia and promote the common good, you are being asked to support the legislative priorities of Social Action Linking Together (SALT). SALT'S goals are to end school lunch shaming of poor children, ensure that correctional facilities that have video visitation services do not abolish or decrease the available in-person visits, limit and end solitary confinement (which is considered to be torture by many religious leaders and healthcare professionals), provide educational opportunities that will help break the cycle of poverty, enable children in needy families to be cared for in their own home or the homes of relatives, end the lifetime ban on Food Stamps (SNAP) and TANF welfare benefits for ex-offenders convicted of felony drug crimes, oppose funding protocols (e.g., Block Grants) that eventually reduce funding for human services and Medicaid, and strengthen kinship guardian care for impoverished children.

Rt 739 is typically left in very unsafe and deadly conditions before, during, and after winter weather; up to and including blizzards, snow, snow showers, sleet, and freezing rain. The entirety of the thoroughfare is left completely untreated, and often times the only tracks cleared through the snow/slush are made only by the citizens traveling the roads. This results in having to inch along an icy, curvy route at 10 MPH, tripling the travel time on the road. This not only puts many people in danger but also causes motor vehicle accidents that may have otherwise been avoided. That, in turn, causes emergency personnel to be overrun with incidents and eventually higher taxes and costs to the citizens. We implore PennDOT to consider this and give this very hazardous issue some much-needed attention.

I grew up in the historic home at 315 East Glen Avenue, which was built in the early 1830s and shares many original architectural and decorative details with the Hermitage and Hohokus Inn (woodwork, moldings, floors, banisters, windows etc.) It has a fascinating history with residents including the actor Edwin Boothe, and was reputed to have been a part of the Underground Railroad. A woman named Miss Colie lived there during the Depression who was supposed to distribute flour and sugar as a part of the WPA program, but she ended up committing suicide in the garage when she was found to have stolen the supplies. Aside from the beauty, history and trees/landscaping that would be lost forever with the destruction of this home, the variances requested create issues for the town and neighborhood including: - non-conformance of buildable and usable square footage to other homes in the area - water collection, drainage and flood prevention given the reduction of trees and grass due to additional paving proposed and requirements for running of utility lines - access and safety of additional cars from secondary home - non-conformance of variances for a home to be set back and sideways - non-conformance to expand pathway to 20 ft, (currently no examples in town) Please join us in opposing the variances that would allow this home to be destroyed and help us to save this historic home for future generations to enjoy as a part of the varied architectural and historic tapestry that make up our community! Thank you for your support!!

Surrounding counties such as Suwannee County, Madison County, and Leon County all have skate parks. We should build a skate park for our youth so that they have a safe environment to skate.

Ajat pai made a simple mistake. Lets help him fix it.

These programs are vital to senior citizens and are targets for budget cuts in the future. Congress needs to protect and preserve these programs.

My husband and I were recently advised that our landlord was not going to renew our lease all of a sudden after 4 years. We had an issue just three weeks earlier with our car being illegally towed from our parking spot . We contacted the apartments at crystal lake at 3801 Crystal Lake Drive Pompano Beach FL Who is owned by CJM properties in Canada and was advised that we were not going to be reimbursed for the towing fee of 150.00. I contacted CJM Properties via twitter and facebook and the next day we got the 150.00 back, I believe that the owners of these apartment complexes should be forced to provide a good reason for not renewing the lease if the tenant did not violate any terms of the lease. The complexes should have to provide written proof such as if the building is being torn down. Failure to enforce this petition allows the landlord to make up a reason or give no reason thus they can throw a tenant out for retaliation but it becomes difficult to prove. I believe that the tenant rights need to be improved. So with that being said the law needs to state that if the tenant did not violate any terms of the lease, written proof needs to be provided. Cjm Properties and the apartments and crystal lake retaliated against us and throughout a disabled person with cancer

This is something I feel very strongly about and have worked on to resolve. Recent computing technologies allow for corrections of mathematical flaws in the calculation of interest which can be applied . These are solutions which can protect lender funds, family's dignity and maintain the standards and ideals of what the American quality of life should be.

Across this country there have been laws passed in cities and legislatures outlawing aggressive panhandling and introducing urban camping laws. We shouldn't be throwing people in jail because they have no home or are poor. We should help them get off the streets not making it worse for them.

As North Reading grows in population, so has the traffic. We need traffic lights and pedestrian walkways in three main intersections: 1. North Street at Haverhill 2. Central Street at Park Street 3. Chestnut Street at Haverhill Please sign the petition to improve our traffic infrastructure and keep everyone safe on the road.

I am a student who lives in Axis apartments who does not have a car and it's a hassle to find a consistent ride to school. Not only for me but also many residents of The Axis Apartments. With the cold weather on the horizon it discourages students from attending class because we have to walk in such environments. I feel the residents of Axis have been neglected by both Madison County Transit and Southern Illinois University Edwardsville.
