Federal, State & Local governments are all financially strapped, yet public officials who are comfortably well to do continue to draw salaries from tax payers' dollars. They tell us to tighten our belts, lay off teachers & first responders & make do with reduced services. Start at the top! Reduce your own salaries or stop taking them if you don't NEED them.

Mitt Romney recently stated that 47% of the American public are "victims" dependent on the government. I am a retired person who draws a meager Social Security retirement benefit check each month, which I am sure I earned through many long years of hard work. This makes me part of Romney's 47%, yet I in no way feel like a victim or one who expects something for nothing. I know Romney's comment is not based on facts or reality. As my representative in Congress I demand that Rep. Francisco Canseco publicly reject Mitt Romney's offensive claim.

Bi-partisan registrators are being chased out of Target Parking lot and not allowed to register voters.

I'm a single father of a special needs baby on SSDI. I want to know what Scott thinks of us and the other 47ers in Colorado. Do you agree that we are lazy victims, like some demon version of Oliver Twist?

My daughter and I cannot eat gluten. My daughter is in her fifth year of Girl Scouting. She has never tasted a Girl Scout cookie, because all varieties of Girl Scout cookies contain gluten, so, if she even tasted one, it would make her ill. Recently our local Girl Scout council considered making gluten-free Girl Scout cookies available. My daughter and I were very excited!!! But then they decided not to offer them after all. This petition is to ask them to reconsider. I hope this petition will help the Girl Scout organization to realize that there are a lot of people who would eagerly buy gluten-free Girl Scout cookies.

There are 270 million guns in the United States. Help stop the spread of assault firearms by signing the petition. Access is too easy for the assault ammunition and assault weapons on the internet.

I call on John Koster, the Republican candidate for Congress in Washington's 1st District, to reject Mitt Romney's recent comment abandoning 47% of the American electorate who currently don't pay federal income taxes. And I call on John Koster not to support Mitt Romney's tax plan which would RAISE taxes on the 47% while cutting taxes for millionaires and billionaires.

I received food stamps and medicaid for my children while working and completing my education. I paid payroll taxes then, and now that I'm enjoying my profession, income taxes as well. I'm calling on Del. Richard Snuffer and all West Virginia legislators to stand with the 47% by condemning Governor Romney's crass remarks.
