• No Cuts to Social Security!
    It is pathetic that ANY cuts to Social Security have been proposed. The dollars earned in Social Security have been EARNED--you can call it an entitlement, but I won't. NO CUTS TO SOCIAL SECURITY!

  • Socical security protection
    Please do not let the president take away from the needy seniors. Please stop the wealthy from making the seniors pay so they can keep their wealth. It is not fair to the retirees who worked to make the wealthy wealthier. It needs to stop. Please protect our seniors and retirees.

  • Social Security
    There are massive numbers of seniors who live on Social Security; they depend on this for their lives, food, care and everything else. It's not their or our faults this mess the government has gotten itself into. You deregulated the banks; you took from Social Security for your own projects. It's not honorable to make Seniors pay for this, and very few can work now. It's INHUMANE to do this to your country's elderly that worked honorably and trusted you with their money.

  • No Social Security Cuts!
    We've all been paying our own money into Social Security our whole lives. Why should that money be used as a bargaining chip? No one has the right to do such a thing!

  • Do not cut Social Security & Medicare Benefits
    The fiscal cliff which resulted in saving Wall Street bankers should not now penalize Main Street and retirees under the guise of compromise. Extending retirement age whilst ensuring the banks can continue business as usual is an insult to humanity. Do not allow the money we've all contributed all our lives to be affected by a "compromise" to a mess the Government itself created.

  • Congress Should Pay
    Instead of cutting Social Security, how about they take the pay of the Congressmen. The people who receive Social Security worked their whole lives and they are fed up with all the talk about taking their only source of income.

  • No Social Security Cuts
    It has been reported that President Obama has made a compromise offer to Representative Boehner to offer cuts to Social Security. While not yet a retiree, these cuts would negatively affect my financial security as I have no pension and like most people, my 401K is, and has been dramatically diminished due to the greed of Wall Street sharks.

  • Save Social Security Now
    We all have family members who would be hurt by any reduction in Social Security benefits. I also speak for my own situation. It is unthinkable to have worked so hard for President Obama to be re-elected and then find out that these benefits have been put on the table. They should not have anything to do with our fiscal cliff and debt ceiling issues. We implore you to remove these from any compromises. You owe it to the American people to keep your word.

  • Stop Social Security Cuts
    We have paid all of our working llives into Social Security so that when we retire, we would have some sort of income to help with medication, food and living expenses. To do any cut to Social Security would be detirmental to our lives. We have worked hard for this. Leave it alone.

  • Increase Taxes on Firearms for State Social Programs
    I have started a petition on We the People via Whitehouse.org to increase already existing taxes on firearms and ammo to specifically raise funds for state safety, education, and mental health programs. We need 150 signatures for it to be published on Whitehouse.org's We the People site and then 25,000 in 30 days for the administration to review it. Link is here: http://wh.gov/nTrv

  • Safety for Oregonians
    This latest shooting in Connecticut of innocent children and adults is horrible. It's going to take mothers to sign this petition to get Congress to once again ban assault weapons and also provide funding for mental health so that these troubled angry shooters get help before they go on another rampage. I want to see millions of mothers (and dads) sign this petition. This senseless violence has to stop.
