• 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.

  • DO NOT CUT SOCIAL SECURITY
    Social Security is not the right place to address the deficit. Tell Obama and your fellow members of Congress not to support any cuts in Social Security and not to change the way cost of living increases for retirees are calculated. My parents are in their 80's and I'll soon retire - so we don't need this cut into how we sustain our lives and pay our bills. FYI - I don't want my parents eating dog food.

  • Send drug and alcohol offenders to rehab not prison
    It costs the state about 35 thousand dollars a year to send a person to prison. Drug and alcohol offenders need help which only a rehab clinic can provide. Prison doesn't work for these people that is why there are so many that end up going back over and over. It is time to try something new. Rehab can do a better job at a fraction of the cost to no cost to the state or the tax payers.Our tax money could go to better use!

  • Front Avenue Garage: Free Parking Garage or Death Trap?
    Every day and night as I proceed to enter the Front Avenue Garage I take a deep breath and cross my fingers in hopes that I make it to a secure parking spot without encountering, or becoming a part of a head-on collision. This parking garage failed to be constructed with the actual use of vehicles in mind. This is a constant safety issue and I myself have almost gotten into an accident a few times and I have almost gotten knocked down by a car while walking to my dormitory because the driver could not see clearly around the corner.

  • Where is the promised Lottery $ for Education
    When the Lottery was proposed, it was presented (and ultimately approved ONLY for its promise) as an income generator for Public Education. WHERE IS THAT MONEY? CERTAINLY NOT IN THE EDUCATION BUDGET. WE WANT IT WHERE IT WAS PROMISED.

  • Do Not Cut Social Security
    It is about Social Security. Me and my older family are all on Social Security benefits and struggle month to month. We have paid into this system since the first day we worked. Please don't do this to us. Please don't mess with the Medicare also. This is how we survive as an older senior citizens of the USA. It is just wrong to change our income and medical benefits and it is also wrong for the senior citizens of the future!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Save Medicare From Further Cuts!
    Yes, due to sequestration which was allowed to come about via the ineptness of the Republicans in Congress, my husband was laid off his engineering job of over 30 years. We had to go on Medicare due to better, but higher costing medical plans. Try finding a doctor that will accept Medicare---the present payment cuts are bad enough, and now The Pres. and Congress plan to make even deeper payment cuts? This is a disgrace for so many Americans---and yet, who really seems to care?
