I haven't but if what they want to do passes I will be affected as SS is my main source of income, about 90%.

Roberto Clemente educates the highest at-risk high school student population in our school district. This school is repeatedly targeted for closure - which, essentially, is budget-balancing on the backs of the students most in need. My son, Addison, as well as many other young people (and their families) are in serious jeopardy of losing the one program that has proven to help. This school has a waiting list of students being referred from the comprehensive high schools. We should be looking for ways to better support this population of students - NOT deplete it.

Panama Central School received state funds for building projects in 2002 and 2005. Due to oversight on the parts of both the state and the school district, one last report on these projects was not submitted. The state was aware of the omission, but failed to notify the District for several years. Governor Cuomo and Speaker Silver have decided to levy a $4.9 million fine on this small, economically challenged school district. Panama is not the only school district to have been sledgehammered over paperwork issues. This can happen to any school district or other recipient of state funds. The law needs to be changed to require timely notification so that errors can be promptly addressed and not allowed to run on for years and incur unmanageable punitive fines. In the case of school districts, the ones who suffer are the students and the taxpayers, who are on the receiving end of the financial consequences.

Because of petitions like this, and millions of calls, emails and office visits, a majority in the U.S. Senate now supports Marriage Equality. We can do the same thing in the House of Representatives. Please send your U.S. Representative a clear and simple message--It is time for a majority in Congress to take a public stand for Marriage Equality.

Young drivers across Alaska and across the nation have disproportionately high car crash rates and drive less than all but the oldest of people, but have the highest crash rates of any age group. Countless young men and women die every day and it is our responsibility to reduce this loss of life.

I am just getting ready to retire in June and I can just barely make it with the estimated amount I will be making with Social Security. If this gets lowered even just a little I will be in serious trouble. Joanna Kamburoff

This petition is related to NYS fining our small, poorer socioeconomically speaking school district to the tune of 4.9 million dollars because of a past clerical error related to funding that was applied for & used for our school district maintenance needs & improvements. All applied for funds were used appropriately, but because some simple paperwork was missed or not filed at right time, the children & taxpayers will now suffer at the hands of our government in NYS. We the tax payers & other school district taxpayers are outraged & see no way this will help, but rather will hurt our students & families here & will not further education. Please reverse & waive these fines that we feel will cripple our struggling community & also prevent such punitive actions in the future towards other innocent students, families, & tax payers. Taxpayers & students who never had knowledge of or control over such events leading to this punishment. We wish to prevent future punishments of the same nature from happening as well.

Our Public Housing is at risk, our communities are unaware of the decisions that are being made about our homes. There is funding available that has not been used to aid NYCHA. Affordable public housing should be a top priority in New York City.

We have a fat-cat Congress refusing to handle the business of the people. When they decided to cut spending to much that benefits every American and would help grow the economy, rather than raise taxes on the wealthiest one percent, they should have been the first to lose their inflated salaries, their pensions, their perks. They should not have the right to vote their own salaries or benefits, and their actions should impact them right along with everyone else.
