I have been shot in the head, I'm a victim of gun violence. We need to tax ammo. Guns can't kill without ammo. The revenue generated can pay for the health care costs that are generated by gun violence. Please join me in starting a movement to TAX AMMO.

It has already cost me thousands of dollars in medical bills since the first cuts went into affect at the beginning of this year. I cannot afford any more cuts.

Metal detectors in all public places in America (school, restaurants, banks, grocery stores, etc.)

I am a disabled person with no means to make additional income. If these cuts are made, it affects my abilty to buy food, pay bills, medication, doctors' bills etc... Myself and my family would be living in poverty with no means to provide basic needs.

Don't cut Social Security benefits for the some of the poorest people in America.

In the wake of the Newton Connecticut Massacre,it is my opinion that the general public needs to be more informed about mental health. My oldest brother (now deceased) was mentally ill,he was ostracised because of this. He has been deceased for 41 years. There have been great strides made in this area since then. However,maybe greater awarness may have stopped the tragedy in Newton from happening.

Social Security cuts in any deficit reduction package. The cuts in Social Security are opposed by an overwhelming majority of SignOn.org members and would amount to a cut of more than 5 percent and more as the years go by. For many retirees this would mean critical cuts to benefits that cover medicine, food, and other daily necessities.

I went to school for more than 20 years to earn a PhD and then worked for the US Government. During my Federal tenure, my ability to receive Social Security benefits from funds I had paid into the Social Security Fund before working for the Government were reduced by one-half to two-thirds. The original deal (promise) was, I pay in so that I receive a calculated amount when I reach retirement, based on my earnings. Further reductions in Social Security is a continuation of this cold, hard thievery by those in suits and furs (Congress). Stop, get your paws out of my purse. As a solution, first, Congress should take a big pay cut; Congress makes very little effort to learn how to get along and negotiate, like petulant, spoiled children with jam down their fronts. Let's also cut Congress' pension by two-thirds. This would be based on "they don't deserve it" - true, and "they don't need it" - most likely true. Lesson: Don't rob Social Security, a fund entrusted to the Government for those who worked and paid in. This is not your money to manipulate and steal. Congress, get extensive instruction on how to get along and also learn how to think of and thank others whose shoulders you stand on. I know you think you are all big deals; but really, you are lazy, puffed up, have poor memories and have forgotten for whom you work. And, perhaps you should exercise and go to church, on your own dime, not mine.

After over 30 years of work, I was injured on the job. Now Social Security is over 80% of my month income. COLA increases are important to me.

Like many seniors, I'm now in the "donut hole", meaning I pay full price for my medications. If Medicare used its huge purchasing power to negotiate lower drug costs (the VA pays 40% less for drugs), many seniors would escape this very expensive situation.

The the over abundance of pets in shelters, many of them being euthanized daily. something needs to be done to stop the madness. These poor creatures did n

Congress always talks about too much spending and the deficit is too high. They spend the money and then tell us how we need to sacrifice. they never give up any of their salaries or colas. Everybody should feel the pinch. Especially congress.
