• I am AGAINST the bipartisan austerity agenda. Don't cut aid to those experiencing poverty.
    Both major parties have admitted that they would support cuts to 'entitlements' (rich person lingo for 'programs that help those in poverty'). Millions depend on these various programs to survive. Sign this petition to stand against the bipartisan agenda of 'austerity for the poor'.

  • mayor r.t. rybak
    In the past i have been homeless in Minneapolis. I would like to see the city of Mpls.Mn. prioritize its attention to the homelessness that still exists in this city. My main focus on the homelessness issues are drawn towards women, women of color and women with children. I am still personally affected by this crisis because,in my opinion, it has not been dealt with appropriately.

  • Target taxation to the cause of taxation
    For example: The cost of fuel is much higher than what we are paying at the pump. The US government spends about $100 billion annually ($460 per individual taxpayer) just to defend the shipment of foreign oil. Americans should pay their total cost of fuel at the pump in order to make reasonable and responsible decisions related to energy and energy efficiency.

  • Shame on CVS
    There is a greeting card that CVS is carrying that is offensive. The front of the card shows a picture of President Obama. The inside of the card reads "See... There ARE SCARIER things than turning a year older. Happy Birthday."

  • Equitable Entitlement Cuts
    I am concerned that the common people receiving entitlements through Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are being unfairly singled out in resolution of the debt crisis. All citizens should share in the solution.

    The need to get very serious re. global warming , like Germany is, after a wasted decade of the Bush years- and a wasted 25 years or so since Gore sounded the warning- as far as the govt. is concerned.

    Why when we talk of entitlements do we only talk about Social Security and Medicare?

  • Fair Compensation
    Our senators and representatives no longer represent the average working American. They have lost touch with the problems faced by working Americans. They recess while they should be working on solving they many budget and health issues that face our country. Its time they faced the problems of middle class Americans. Cut their salary and benefits back to the level of the working class. maybe then we will have representation.

  • The Forgotten
    It seems convicted felons or people with not so stellar records have been forgotten. They are competing in the job market with scholars and college grads. Can someone please start a second chance program in each state for people who are trying to bounce back. They have made mistakes but they should not be thrown away and never forgiven.
