Social Security is a successful program that needs to be preserved. Those with an income of over $110,000 are paying a smaller percentage of their income into Social Security than the rest of us. If we raise the cap so that everyone pays a more equal share, we can preserve this much needed system for now and future generations.

To support the development of biometric access control of weapons, which will permit only authorized users to fire a weapon. The four year old son of someone I knew killed their six year old brother with their father's weapon.

We need to open these institutions back up across the nation for those individuals who are a danger to themselves and those around them. Mental illness is a sickness like any other chronic condition. Insurance companies need to recognize it and pay for it as well. This would help to prevent tragedies like that of Sandy Hook Elementary here in Ct.and other places here in our country. This should be a top priority in healthcare reform.

Congress has a responsibility to work together without partisan politics, bullying the minority party and damaging the US economy. Holding the economy hostage to gain a political bargaining edge needs to stop.

Our economy is failing, if Amnesty is given to those who are knowingly coming here "ILLEGALLY" they will keep coming and soon we'll be overcrowded. Our elected officials are not holding up to the "Oath" they took to be in office and it's a smack in the faces of legal immigrants who obeyed the law, we have laws for fairness to everyone and this would not be fair period!

All American people have been adversely effected by the lack of Congressional leadership. The following proposed Congressional Reform Act allegedly was proposed by Warren Buffett as a way to end our current deficit.

The severe storm damage caused by climate change is a result of oil companies greed. The burning of fossil fuels is the cause, therefore the oil companies who have been profiting from it should pick up the tab for the damage. They should also pick up the tab for the cost of the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars which were fought for their benefit.

UPDATE: I just received a phone call from the manager who purchased the product for the store in Garner NC. We had a pretty nice conversation on the phone about the mix up and why we found the product offensive. He said when he bought the product from the vendor all that he knew was that it was a pepper spray. He claimed that Walgreens sent all the stores an e-mail saying to pull it from the shelves. I asked him about the vendor or the manufacturer of the product, and he told me that he has the products which they are going to send back to the vendor, and once he gets this information he will forward it to me. I'm not sure I believed every word he told me, nor do I necessarily expect him to tell me the vendor, but at least they contacted us, addressed the issue, and pulled it from the shelves. When I get more information I will let you all know. Joe UPDATE: Walgreens and I have been in communication a few times this week. They have said that this product was found in 5 stores and all have been removed from the shelves. They said that if it is found elsewhere it has a different serial number, so they asked if I tell them if any more turn up. I have yet to get them to tell me the manufacturer. More info to come.. UPDATE: A new facebook group has been created to help keep people up to date on this issue. Please like this group http://www.facebook.com/antiwalgreens UPDATE: Another spray has been found at the Garner NC store. Feel free to e-mail me if you need another picture! This is NOT an isolated store! Barbara from this store 919-661-7344 was proud to tell me this was still on the shelf! UPDATE: Thank you for all those who have posted on the Walgreens Facebook page, but their copy and pasted apology and assurances are simply not enough. I am supposed to hear back from them in 2 business days, when we will ask for the following. That they give assurances that all of this product is pulled from their shelves in case it was not simply an isolated incident, that they name the manufacturer or vendor of this product, that Walgreens provide training and supervision for the people responsible for their purchasing, and that they make a public apology on their facebook page and/or company newsletter. Furthermore, we will also be asking them to help, or donate $1 dollar for every signature on this petition to the local Chicago pit rescue which is responsible for this petition. Thank you for all your support and keep on sharing to get more signatures. UPDATE: Several people have claimed that they saw this product at their local Walgreens. I have not received any confirmation, so I encourage you to go tomorrow morning to Walgreens, and if you see this take a picture with your phone and e-mail it to me with the location. UPDATE: Walgreens has given me a case number and said they would forward it to management and respond in 2 business days. I however took initiative and called the Walgreens in question: (724) 334-1852 and the manager informed me that this was taken off the shelf yesterday morning. The picture many of you have seen (and several claimed falsely was photoshopped) was taken at 11:00 AM. Anyways, it is off the shelf at this one location (not sure about others), but keep gathering signatures and I'll let you know if any sensitivity training will be given to any or all purchasers... even of "local buys" UPDATE: Walgreens has contacted me and says that it is a "local buy." They have said they will look into this issue and get back to me. Thank you for all your hard work and KEEP IT GOING! We need to keep getting as many signatures as possible! UPDATE: This product was sold at the New Kensington PA location. It has been brought to my attention that Walgreens in particular sells pepper spray titled "Pitbull Defense Maximum Strength Pepper Spray." Not only is this discriminatory, but it is ill-informed. Are pitbulls the only dogs or animal that attacks humans? Could this not be used against any other similar sized animal attack? There have been a lot of great pitbulls (Nipper from the RCA commercials for example). It's time to stop singling out pitbulls and start putting our attention on the people who abuse and train them to act and respond in an aggressive manner.

We as employeed citizens must be drug tested for most employment opportunties; therefore all of those receiving aid from the government should be drug tested as well to ensure their money is used wisely.

I think it's important to give pedifiles a sentence instead of a slap on the hand with probation. Lives are never the same for the victims of pedifilies. Children are our future, we need to protect them.

I would like to see all Us Senators and Congressmen have 8 years as a term limit. That will allow for new people to get into the office. It will allow for the United States to be run more efficiently with out all the corruption that we currently have in government offices.

Credit issuers have arbitrarily set cutoff times on one's payment due date that can result in much ill-gotten revenue that might otherwise be stimulating the U.S. economy. For example, Citi Bank cuts off at 5:00 p.m. EST. I paid my bill on the due date but at 6:00 p.m. CST; and, as a result, I was charged a $20 late fee and $1.01 "interest". It's easy to forget that a particular card has an unusual cut off time, like that of a gas company who's cutoff time is 3:00 pm. PST.
