The biggest problem is actually rampant, unchecked crime because of the small number of police officers. When we call 911, there is no hope of the police showing up.

Now that President Obama has endorsed gay marriage and it is legal is several states, it is time that all the same benefits and rights should be afforded to gay couples.

When I was admitted to the hospital a week before Election Day, I tried to get an absentee ballot filed in time. The hospital had no accommodation to help people who wanted to vote. Although extraordinary accommodations were made for Hurricane Sandy victims, the effort did not reach the hospitals. One local politician tried to help, but to no avail, due to lack of coordination between counties. I was upset with the failure of the system. Luckily, though, my candidates won. This issue needs to be addressed for voters who may find themselves in similar situations, in future elections.

My mother has worked 25 years for the USPS in the Buffalo area in WNY (Western New York). Hoping to retire after 30 years, she is still treated like a mail carrier half her age and required to work 10-12 hour shifts all because the station she works at has a hiring freeze. The station MUST hire younger mail carriers so that the senior carriers have less of a workload and be able to retire in relatively good health.

This country was not founded so certain people could enjoy more rights than other, including income. people who make more should pay more in taxes than they currently do .

We all suffer in this country from the partisan bickering and entrenched stances taken on either side of political aisle. This petition is an urgent appeal to all elected officials to do whatever it takes to diligently work together for viable solutions to our most pressing issues.

During the last election cycle our homes were inundated with political campaign calls. Most people do not want to receive these calls. People should have an opportunity to put their telephone numbers on a No Call List.

The Emergency Unemployment Compensation program is ending. There are still thousands of unemployed persons who need this assistance until they can find work. These are people like you and me, who have children and loved ones to provide for. Hard working people who have received a bad break. Please join this effort to help by adding your name to this petition. And please share this petition on twitter, facebook, and other social networks.

Sign the “Kids Not Cuts” petition to U.S. Senator Mary Landrieu, urging Sen. Landrieu to stand up for America’s kids and working families and to make sure Congress makes the rights choices.

Time is running out for the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). If Congress fails to act this year--which could happen if we don't speak out--shelters, hotlines and other critical services could run out of money in the next few months. Earlier this year, a bipartisan majority of Senators passed a VAWA reauthorization bill that would have expanded protections to some of the most vulnerable communities, including LGBT, immigrant and Native American populations. Conservatives in the House not only blocked it--they took the unprecedented step of rolling back protections that have been on the books for years. Now conservatives in the House are facing increased pressure to do the right thing and vote on the Senate version. Can you tell Congress to pass the expanded Violence Against Women Act right away?
