• California Unemployment Benefits should continue
    I am an unemployed, experienced 52 year old woman with a Business degree. I am a former government employee with prior law-enforcement experience. I have been looking for full-time work for 2 years and on December 31, 2012, the unemployment benefits will be stopped. I am NOT an American taking advantage of government monies. I HAVE paid taxes and I am making timely payments on all of my bills. What am I supposed to do starting January 1, 2013? State benefits should not be taken away.

  • Support Staten Island Recovery: 3 Month Moratorium on Tolls
    I'm a Brooklyn resident volunteering in Staten Island to help with the recovery process from Hurricane Sandy. But it costs $13 per car to head over to help out! This hurts volunteers, small business owners, and residents trying to do their best to get back their feet. A three-month moratorium on tolls would be a direct aid to the impacted communities and their volunteers. Please do this today!

  • Don't reduce density and zoning for my street.
    As part of an update of the Uptown Community Plan, the City of San Diego is proposing to reduce the density and zoning of your property. The current adopted land use densities for Mission Hills have preserved neighborhood character for 23 years. Reducing density and zoning would only create economic problems for property owners.

  • Every one should have a driver license
    There is people who used to have a driver's license but now they are driving without because someone with racist ideas past this law in california. People need to drive to go to work, take their children to school and have to work at night time. It is not safe not to give a license to working people. There is no record of them if they don't have a license. I have been affected by this law. When people do not have a lincense they can be responsible when accident happen.

  • Taxing the Wealthy
    It is unfair that the poor and middle class pay more taxes then the wealthy corporations and all those who make over $250,000.00. Some of these people work in our Congress and Senate.

  • Time to End the War in Afghanistan
    President Obama is about to receive a set of military options for Afghanistan from his advisers. We believe that the best strategy to serve the interests of the American people and our brave troops on the ground is an accelerated withdrawal to bring to an end the decade-long war as soon as can safely and responsibly be accomplished. Please stand with me and the more than 45 representatives who've stood up so far. Sign your name to the letter below.

    Congress is going to make important decisions about Social Security and Medicare. If they had to live with those decisions, I believe they would make better policies.

  • STOP JUDICIAL PRFERENCES TOWARD FORECLOSING BANKS: WELLS FARGO, ETC.
    Citizens should be concerned about the tactics being employed by foreclosing banks and the judicial preference shown to them at the expense of the middle class and lower income homeowners. I am in this position and there are almost no attorneys who will assist the financially challenged citizens and the state, local and federal governments offer no solutions or aid.
