• Please save Social Security Disability
    Please Tammy, I collect Social Security disability. I receive $899.00 per month. By the end of the month I am always short. I have to decide where I can go based on how much gas I can afford for my car. My co-pays for my doctors deplete much of it, and my out of pocket deductable is $500.00 per year. It will take me 10 months just to pay off the deductable. Please help keep my current payment as it is, not less.

  • Please Stop President Obama from touching Social Security
    I am disabled and worked for about 30 years starting at the age of 16 and had to pay into Social Security from that time until I was no longer able to work. And with cuts to Social Security, I can't afford the common necessities. Because I have to pay higher prices for gasoline, food, and if my income decreases, it will be even harder to survive. I've already be affected by The Sequester and have to pay more for rent living in HUD Subsidized Housing for Seniors and Disabled Persons.

  • Grants not Loans
    As higher education, a 4 year college or university diploma is now being required to get many jobs (including cashier at McDonalds apparently,) it is time that America step up to the competitive edge (like Denmark,) and institute Education Grants. Money for students higher education that does not have to be repaid. This must cover the entire cost of education and housing for the duration of study. Lets get Americans competitive and educated and taking the top jobs in our own country again with out the saddle and weight of repayment.

  • No cuts to Social Security
    This is about President Obama's proposal to change the way cost of living increases are calculated for retirees on Social Security. As a person dependent on less than $900 Social Security, the proposed "chained CPI" would decrease cost of living increases for me and my fellow retirees and make those among the least able responsible for decreasing the deficit. This terrible idea should be rejected.

  • Military dependents & Spouses should keep insurance
    Many military dependents and spouses (both men and women) get shafted through military health insurance if they get divorced or seperate from their spouse. I've seen too many end up on their own not being able to keep up on their medical care because of lack of insurance. I've had enough patients (men & women) not wanting to leave an abusive relationship to their military spouse because of the insurance.

  • Social Security Reform
    I believe that getting our fiscal house in order is a prudent and necessary step towards long term stability and strength. However, cutting benefits in social security should not be considered an option. This is a social contract between the Government and its' citizens.

  • The GI Bill belongs to the military, not the Veteran's Affairs
    Every military member who spends more than 90 days on active duty gets a GI BILL whether it be the Montgomery or Post 9-11. If we fail a class or drop it, we have to pay that money back, but that money is ours. We fought for this country and earned it. I've personally experienced this. We need to fight more for our military who are the ones fighting for this country.

  • Do Not Cut Social Security
    I have paid into Social Security for over 30 years, and I need the small amount I receive each month. Certainly there are other ways to get the money you need from people who have the money to spare. Obama keeps taking from the "little" people. We are just getting by.
