No giving, no gettingWe have seen many people are take the advantage from the US social security system. Too many people who or whose spouse never paid a single penny to the social security, but they are get big chuck of social security, plus food stamps, plus medicare, plus housing. No wonder our social security is broken. Social security and other benefits should be only paid to those who or whose spouse has contributed to this society.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by james

Legislation for traumatic homeless veterans and childrenPeople should be concerned about the issue of homeless veterans and children. We need our legislators to amend H.R. 1560, Public Safety Second Amend Rights Protection act of 2013. Example: My father served in Korea and Vietnam War. My mother was pregnant during that time, and inheritance rights were denied, even though I was his only child and he was inducted and died while on active duty. Today, deceased veterans' children cannot qualify for VA housing eligibility. Our legislators still have not served this underserved population in spite of our trauma and the need for housing and care deserved. There are too many homeless veterans and children, many still in developmental stages. Death of a family member is traumatic, and vulnerable people need protection.74 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Rashidah Ali

Support Rep. Lofgren's 'Aaron's Law'One of the brightest and most active young leaders of the internet generation, Aaron Swartz, took his life last week. He did so at least in part due to over-zealous prosecution of a violation of a Terms of Service breach; a violation that had already been resolved between Swartz and the institution that was affected. This sort of violation should be treated as any other civil breach of contract, rather than as a criminal offense.9 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mark Johnston

Let's put God back in our schoolsAfter all the school shootings that have taken place in our country all we do is look for a scape goat. When the real blame should be in ourselves as a nation. We have stepped away from God and the bible and taken away the very reason to act as a civilized peoples. Let's put the Ten Commandments back in our schools as well as singing the Pledge of Alegiance in the morning at every school. One nation under God indivisible with liberty and justice for all25 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Travis Miller

Common sense in gun regulationI have not been personally affected by gun violence, but I am sick of seeking news articles about people critically injured and killed by guns. The NRA's explanation that better treatment of mental illness would prevent gun violence is absurd. I support a ban on assault weapons, limits to rounds of ammunition, and background checks on all gun purchases. Everyone should be concerned about this as everyone could be, or already has been, affected by gun violence.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Agnes McCabe

Without some regulation of guns, let's white out the second amendmentWe need more reasonable limitations on the excessive killing guns. If the NRA doesn't want to work with the government in creating those limits, then they should be given a dose of their own medicine with an extreme remedy of eliminating the constructional amendment that empowers it.8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lizabeth mcKibben
