Congressman Carson: Please Stop Special Education Corruption In Indiana's Public School System!!!My son Warren, attended the Indiana public school system and was denied hearing impaired services. These specific services are necessary for a individual child to benefit from special education. My son, is now a young adult that continues to suffer as a result of not receiving these services. I am still on the front line fighting for the rights of our special needs children. Special needs children, are being denied equal educational opportunities. African American boys and children of color that are diagnosed with learning disabilities are disproportionately impacted. The educational outcomes for minority children and the systemic inequities have been well documented in special education. We must put a end to disability and racial discrimination in Indiana's public school system. Parents that speak out against educator abuse against children with special needs are often retaliated against and punished. Parents let's unite, to stop educational abuse and corruption in Indiana's public school system. This problem is nationwide, together let's move to put a end to educational abuse regarding children with special needs in our United States school system. Congressman Carson, you are our Federal Representative, we are demanding that you support a federal investigation by the United States Department of Justice and the United States Department Of Education to expose Special Education Corruption in Indiana's Educational System. I have filed state and federal complaints regarding race and disability discimination and my complaints have fallen on deaf ears. State sanctioned child abuse is a crime!!!7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Brenda Stewart

Medicaid for Disabled PeopleSSA is a benefit you work and pay into. SSI is a benefit for people that have never paid into FICA, or perhaps didn't work long enough. Either, or, the benefits I got while on SSI were far more beneficial than what I'm now having to deal with getting full SSA. That's why I created a petition to The Florida State House, The Florida State Senate, and Governor Rick Scott. Will you sign this petition?

Save Military Retirees Health CareAs of 1 October 2013 all military retirees will be pushed out of their TRICARE Prime Health insurance. These military retirees have served full 20+ year military careers and now the government that they have given their lives to is forcing them out of their HMO option health insurance and into a high cost alternative. Tell Congress the military retirees deserve the choice to keep their TRICARE Prime insurance.301 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Jennifer Clark

State Disability, Why does North Carolina not have it?If a lower middle income family has a wage earner that is injured or ill for more than 2 weeks they can lose there home and credit because of lack of income. Many other states offer employee, employer contributions to fund a stop gap for several months to secure middle class and lower middle class familys from losing what they have worked for over many years.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by R.

Help The Mentally Ill Become More ProductiveThe mentally ill community is often considered incompetent and detrimental to society however; this community can be a productive part of society reason being it consists of those who are high functioning. These intelligent people are able to contribute to their community in various ways. For example, working off debts they have created from their debtors, volunteering, working less hours or part-time to keep stress levels low, construction (holding the stop or slow signs) filing, counsel others, share their stories, run support groups, run and maintain their group homes, cleaning services etc., and supervised back into the workforce as capable and rational human beings. Therefore, I urge our state & federal government to stop sending them to the government funded program that teaches them skills they will never use. Instead, assess their ability and provide them with training and the opportunity to use the skills they have acquired. Otherwise, how will we know this community is getting better if there is no standard to which their progress is measured? Those who suffer from mental illness are not completely inept and can be given responsibility and a reason to fulfill their God given purpose for living. The outcome can only be greater self-worth and a more effective society. This will promote optimal mental health in this community so that they can continue to function at their highest level developing a better mental, physical, and social well-being. Let’s not feed them medication along with an empty life because these contribute to their dysfunction. Dysfunctions like being a menace to society, stigmatized thru gun violence, suicide, homelessness or involvement in cults. Instead we want them to become a functional part of society thru increase cognitive therapy, low dose medication and productivity. Please sign my petition.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Alison Merant

Reform Congressional Health Care BenefitsMy health care insurance is too costly, inadequate for my needs, and poorly managed by the provider. Members of Congress have made a political fight out of Health Care Reform, because they don't have to deal with the consequences. All U. S. House Members, Senators and their dependents get free and complete health care for life, paid for with our tax dollars, even after they leave office. If Congress members had to deal with the same health care chaos and inflated medication prices as all other Americans, they would be well motivated to improve the system for everyone.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lance Crow

Gun controlI truly believe we need experience police officers in all our schools, along with security officers. I also believe that assualt weapons should be only use by our police department, and military, and no mental retarded person, or private home need this type of weapon. So let's us as Mississippians pass the bill which president Obama has presented for all States with stricter laws.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Rev. Joe C. Smith
