We live in Milford PA and are concerned about the economy of our town when essential recreational and public land is being shut down by the National Park Service, and agency that is directly under the Minister of the Interior, as a result of sequestration. The amount of money that is cut is marginal compared to the loss cuts loss of revenue to the town and surrounding areas. We urge Jonathan Jarvis to open his eyes to the consequences and find another, less pernicious place to save $250,000.

Massachusetts has an historic opportunity to make a real investment in our schools, roads, and public transit in order to create good jobs and strengthen our communities. Yet this week, the legislature is faced with voting on an inadequate proposal. We can’t continue to kick the can down the road. Now is the time to be bold and address our aging trains and schools, our crumbling roads and bridges.

It is hard enough to live on social security now..... and it seems everytime we have a debit crisis, they want to cut social security. This is NOT a handout. I worked all my life and paid into this program. So did the majority of people drawing social security. If you must make cuts, make them where the people involved will not be devistated!!!

MY WIFE AND I LIVE ON SOCIAL SECURITY.

My mother is 82 and solely dependent on Social Security. Not only that, legal American citizens work their butts of to make a living and pay into the Social Security system. NO ONE has the right to tell working class citizens that they do not deserve to get their money back to support them in their old age!

President Obama will reportedly propose cuts to Social Security benefits by including "chained CPI" in his budget proposal to Congress. Senior citiizens and other recipients of federal benefits affected by "chained CPI" cannot afford these cuts, especially since Social Security has nothing to do with the federal budget deficit.

The President is proposing to use a cut called the “Chained CPI” that will cut benefits for every single Social Security beneficiary—now and in the future. My mother, like most seniors, relies on social security for 90% of her monthly income. Any cut will force her and other seniors and disabled citizens on fixed incomes to choose between needed prescription drugs, utilities or groceries. Our Social Security system has never contributed a penny to the deficit. The debt we have comes from a decade of tax cuts for the wealthy, unlimited spending on foreign wars and a recession caused by unregulated Wall Street speculation. It’s wrong to ask senior citizens, veterans and the disabled to pay for the greed of the top 1%.

We are trying to do many things to conserve and produce energy in the USA. A simple step would be to immediately lower the speed limits to conserve fuel.

This petition addresses the Social Security cost-cutting measure proposed by President Obama and will be delivered to Rep. Ruben Hinojosa of Texas District 15.

The New York Times reported that President Obama will propose cuts to Social Security and Medicare benefits in his budget next week. Social Security is the core of the progressive and Democratic legacy.

One of the reasons our economy and the federal budget is suffering is because we've been fighting wars without paying for them. A one-time tax to be levied until the Iraq and Afghanistan invasions and occupations have been paid for should be levied on those who most benefited from those military industrial actions: those whose incomes, assets, and net worth has grown since 9-11-2001. When the trillions of dollars lost to fight those wars are replaced, the war tax will end.

Chained CPI will hurt seniors and weaken the social safety net. Don't let this happen!
