Our conscience will not allow us to believe this is the right practice. There have to other ways to achieve the same goal. Do not change to a chained CPI system.

I know of many who have suffered from gun violence, suicides included over my 73 year life span--neighbors, relatives, school mates, children of my students.

Rise of Health care and limited access to treatments.

My husband served 22 years and is about to lose his Tricare Prime benefits because of where we live. People already on the plan should be grandfathered.

It is rumored that President Obama feels he must descend to pandering to certain Tea-Party-inspired demands to make cuts in Social Security, and other programs deemed "entitlements." This is outrageous, and we beg honest and brave legislators to fight against the very idea. I, like many millions, live on the Social Security check I paid into all my life. My taxes pay the Legislators' salaries, and they sit around and block relief and progress. WHO are the entitled?? This sick perception of our democratic republic must be cured. Vote NO on Social Security cuts and/or dismemberment.

I am not personally affected, other than disliking injustice.

Why the urgency to cut into Social Security and veterans' benefits when so many Americans' rely on these benefits alone? The chained CPI will harm many Americans and weigh down many able to survive economically. Where are the cries to cut the most bloated budget of all, the military and DOD? Do we have cost overruns every year, year after year with Social Security---no--it's projected to run short in 20 years. In this day and age when the rich and corporations are not even paying taxes or the lowest ever and hiding their money in overseas accounts why don't we deal with what's really underlying our deficit--those that don't pay their fair share.

Governor Mark Dayton of Minnesota has been quoted as saying "I was not aware" over many recent issues cropping up in Minnesota. For example, the stadium being built using tax payer money, will now, most likely, require general fund dollars, taking money from schools and other important programs.

Depending on your age, chained CPI could cost you $1,000 a year in Social Security retirement benefits.

The Arkansas Governor’s Distinguished Scholars Program grants some of the top high school students in Arkansas awards that result in full scholarships to almost every college in the state. This makes it more appealing for our best and brightest students to stay in Arkansas. Due to cuts in program funding, the Arkansas Department of Higher Education may only be able to award around 100 scholarships for the upcoming year which is down from around 300 in previous years. The State Government should be retaining our state’s top high school students, rather than surprising them in the last quarter of their senior year with cuts in funding to crucial scholarships. Hard working high school students across Arkansas have relied on the availability of this scholarship. These proposed cuts in funding communicate that years of hard work may not pay-off. It should be our priority to show our top students, the next generation of leaders in this state, that Arkansas is still a land of opportunity.
