Washington wants to cut Social Security benefits as part of the fiscal cliff negotiations. Seniors have worked hard to earn these benefits and don't deserve to be sold out. Stand up for America's seniors!

Save America and the world economy from going over the "fiscal cliff." Tell Lawmakers that they must break their selfish pledge, to restore sanity to themselves and our Democracy!

I was having a political discussion with my nephew and it occurred to me that he and I believed a completely different set of "facts" about the same situation. We should not rely simply on "belief" to decide the direction and future of our country. We need to demand total honesty from our representatives, leaders and government.

The thought of my 5 year old grandson having to be exposed to guns by armed guards and / or teachers every school day and at every school he attends scares the hell out of me. At the NRA press conference, their solution to the Newtown, CT massacre on Dec 14, 2012 is to suggest putting armed guards in every school in the United States. This has to be the most expensive solution to the problem of gun violence and keeping our children safe to impose on our local governments, schools and citizens. Obviously, the NRA did not bother to suggest the means to be used to pay these armed guards. I propose that the US Congress, State governments and/or local governments impose an excise tax on every registered gun and owner of $1000 per annum to pay for all these armed guards in every school and other public places.

Too many politicians have been trying to promote the idea that Social Security has been a "primary" driver to raising the National Debt. Nothing could be further from the truth! As a person who has worked since age 14 at age 53 I was told to stop working by doctors due to a chronic medical condition. This has made me, like so many elderly and disabled, dependant on small monthly checks to survive.

Senator Sherrod Brown: Conduct a filibuster (if needed) to prevent a deal to cut Social Security benefits as part of the fiscal fight. Social Security does not add to the deficit. It should not be on the table for any fiscal deal!

I believe that if people would be held liable for their guns they would be more diligent about keeping them locked up. almost everyone I grew up with hunted & owned a variety of guns. kids and irresponsible family members could not gain access to them.

Armed guards at school and armed school personnel would imply that school violence is inevitable. It isn't-- and its only being proposed to protect the political agenda of the NRA. Assault weapons need to be banned NOW.

Please sign our petition to let the entire executive and legislative branches of our government know that we do not want them to use our social security benefits as bargaining chips in the fiscal cliff budget debate.

There is no reason why Americans should be constrained by the NRA's political influence. We need to start our own PAC to support legislators who will pass systemic gun control We need to stop being afraid of the NRA

This petition is asking for a revival of the Equal Rights Amendment, and the final ratification of the Amendment by 3 more states.

Don't increase taxes on hardworking families. Going over the cliff would strike at the heart of American families and could put our fragile economy back in a recession.
