I am concerned about the proposed cut to social security cut. I, along with all those hard working people worked hard to earn the social srcurity benefit. Please do not make any cut to the S S benefits.

Folks in Connecticut want Senator Dick Blumenthal to lead a filibuster if necessary to stop a deal to cut Social Security benefits as part of the fiscal showdown. Social Security does not add to the deficit and should be off the table on any fiscal deal.

Congress and President Obama are considering cutting Social Security benefits for current and future retirees. Social Security does not add to the deficit and should be off the table on any fiscal deal. Please sign this petition to tell our government that we have worked hard for these benefits and we deserve the right to retain them now, as do retirees in the future!

There are several inconsistencies in the official report given to the people, we demand an honest and transparent investigation be done. Release the tapes from the school and bring those who actually did the shootings to justice

One thing the president could do immediately without legislation, that he has the executive power to do, Direct the Justice Department to look at imports into the United States of specific kinds of guns. Federal law already exists regulating the import of firearms says that any firearm brought into the United States must have been primarily designed for sporting purposes.

Social Security is a contract of trust enforced by mandatory payments into the fund over a persons working lifetime. To break this trust is to steal from all of us.

Tell Congress they cannot go home for Christmas until they agree to a deal.

What we need is a rational solution to gun violence in this country.

I have grandchildren in school. There safety is up-most in my mind. Forbidding guns never gets anywhere due to the 2nd amendment. Maybe private industry could do the job and thus gain some support from Republicans.

On October 30, 2006, a US-controlled drone struck a school in Pakistan and killed 83 people. None of them were militants. Only 3 of them were over the age of 20. The other 80 killed were children. This murder of civilians was barbaric, but it wasn't a one-time occurrence. In the past 8 years, US military drones have targeted Pakistani schools, funerals, religious centers. They have torn families apart. Pakistani civilians live in terror that their community will be destroyed. Their children wake up scared to go to school. Yes, the drone strikes kill militants. But just as often, they miss (or hit) and kill civilians. Shatter homes. Rip apart families and leave mothers crying for children maimed or murdered. And, even though Bush started the practice, over 80% of drone strikes have occurred under Obama. It is time for this violence to stop.We as a nation are better than that, and it is time for us to stand up for our principles. As our president, Obama needs to take a stand. He fought for gun control to end mass shootings. He fought for gay rights and the rights of workers. Now, I am calling on him to end the drone war and stand up for civilian rights.

More money in the hands of the poorest is the best place to ignite our sluggish economy. People who have needs they cannot afford to fill will spend all additional income provided. The added income will spur the economy while improving the health, well being and security of our most vulnerable citizens. Its a Win - Win - Win.
