I am quickly reaching retirement age, and with having worked independently my whole life, I only have social security to depend on for funds with which to retire. The re-directing of social security funds to counterbalance previous inappropriate legislative financial and corporate mistakes are an overt insult to the American people and are tantamount to the federal felony of grand theft.

Congress: Cut your own spending (e.g., staff, pension, and medical plan) and adopt Social Security and Medicare for yourself just as the people you represent. Lead by example.

Congress has become an organization that works for itself as an elite membership, sometimes for life, instead of working for the interest of the American people who have elected them. We need to let them know who is, and should be, in control.

During the last election, dark money flooded the state, especially for the US senate race. Many of these contributions were made by non-profits that do not have to disclose their donors. I propose that any entity that spends more than $25,000 on political ads in our state must disclose their donors.

We can barely make it with Social Security and certainly do NOT need any cuts anywhere.

We, The People, can provide Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid for ourselves, our children, and our grandchildren. It's up to us!

any new gun control laws consider a tax on bullets. $1 per bullet - imagine the revenue! We could use that for health care. Numbers are difficult but a quick search is about 2+ billion bullets per year in the US not including exports. Even if its on “magnum” or bullets over X power or grains.

Not to physically or mentally harm my fellow man woman or child.

Nearly forty three trillion dollars of US assets have been deposited in Caribbean banking havens, much of t money held in so called estate and gift planning trusts. On much of this money, income tax has never been paid to our US Treasury, while the beneficiaries consume unimaginable amounts of Federal Government services, both personally and commercially. While advocates for the mega-rich continue to spin the alleged fiscal cliff as an event that threatens us as badly as Dan Quayle's asteroids or the Mayan end of the world, and other fifth columnists such as 'No Labels" try to intimidate and trick moderates and independnts into 'bipartisan' support for a Grand Deal that stnds only to benefit the wealthy and their bought and paid for advocates adn politicians, the rest of us face yet another challenge to our ability to be happy, prosper, and enjoy any of the goods one may win in the US and to have even a minimally decent lifestyle. So why not tax this Ill Gotten Gain at a fair rate? Even a ten percent flat amnesty penalty on it allowing the net money to be on-shored agian would pretty much pay off the deficit?

The Petition targets hate groups who are disrespecting President Obama as our Commander-in-Chief, as a family man and as a person who has demonstrated above and beyond the call of duty with respect to extraordinary global leadership.

Cut back the defense budget where we spend billions to kill children in other countries.... especially third world countries..and use that to help mentall ill patients here in the US.

This affects my parents, and elderly family members. It also affects me; I am 61 and looking forward to any income due me.
