Medicare to Medican't: The Divide and Conquer ApproachI am a dialysis patient on disability at age 63. Except for this "entitlement" I would be dead. Now we hear about people 55 and older won't be affected by the Republican approach to Medicare, so what do I say? "To hell with those 54 and younger?" This is a despicable divide and conquer approach. Medicare is not something to be evaluated only on a fiscal basis though that’s important, it must me evaluated on a human basis. What kind of civilized society are we if only the “Pharaohs” benefit?4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by William J Caniano

Make Zozobra a family and community event again!Zozobra used to be a fun family event for many people here in Santa Fe. Between skyrocketing ticket prices and the loss or distortion of most of the traditions associated with the event, it has become a mockery of all of the things we used to love about it. We want this to be an event that our children can enjoy as much as we did growing up!1,353 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Heather Burke
