I signed this not so much for me but for my dad who uses both and all the other seniors or struggling families they need these programs
Chynna supported: Here's a quick, easy way to defend your Social Security, SNAP, etc.I care about this issue because I am disabled after working and paying into social security for decades, and I have friends who are retired. This is insanity, it will cause millions to become homeless. It will cause children to starve. Just to give even more tax breaks to the ultra rich. This is America, We should do better!
Wendy supported: Here's a quick, easy way to defend your Social Security, SNAP, etc.After I signed up for the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP)--the military equivalent of the 401(k)--I watched as the $8K that I'd saved up in five years' time dropped in the mid-2000s to $3K, as the government took back its share and scooped out my contributions along with it. It would be nothing short of a crime for the same thing to occur with Social Security. This is something we've paid into it with our taxes for decades. This program is a stopgap for millions of Americans who need it to remain housed, fed, and clothed, among other things. Removing it will not "save the government money"--it will only cause more economic trouble in a dozen different directions, and will cheat people out of their own invested funds. We trusted this country, and we invested in the United States with our Social Security taxes, and the U.S. invested in us. It was a promise for us to mutually look after one another--and one that should be kept.
M.L. supported: Here's a quick, easy way to defend your Social Security, SNAP, etc.Please, please protect our social security! We have paid into it our entire working lives and we need this. Government may run the program but that money is ours. If you cut it we want every dime we have paid into it returned. If not it's taxation without representation all over again along with outright theft and mismanagement that can't be blamed on anyone other than whomever cuts it.
Patricia supported: Here's a quick, easy way to defend your Social Security, SNAP, etc.I paid into Social Security for 52 years. The fund has been repeatedly raided by craven politicians. Any future shortage can easily be precluded by removing the cap on Social Security earnings and making billionaires pay their fair share!
Martin supported: Here's a quick, easy way to defend your Social Security, SNAP, etc.These people have cared for this place for far too long to have received this dreadful treatment! It's common sense to allow them to stay in the home they've spent decades in. This disrespect is so profound, I'm not even a California resident and I'm outraged! All they needed was repairs and they received an eviction notice? After all they've done to protect the land? Disgraceful. Keep them comfortable and in their home. They deserve nothing less.
Madison supported: Help Save the Girouard Family Home at Rhus RidgeThe Girourard family home and land have been cherished by this family for many decades. It would be profoundly un-American to forcibly displace those who have lovingly cared for and maintained such a beautiful area for generations. As a friend of the family, I strongly urge you to support the Girouard family’s right to remain on their ancestral land and their beloved home, as law- abiding citizens. Let us allow them to continue their legacy in this cherished community.
Annette supported: Help Save the Girouard Family Home at Rhus RidgeI first met the late Raye Girouard about 15 years ago. I was struggling in life and hiking on Rhus Ridge to clear my head. I had seen Raye around town many times over the years but knew nothing about him. This particular day, he, a stranger, stopped me just to ask what was wrong. I explained that I was stuck in life and casually mentioned my interest in archery. He told me to wait a moment and returned with his longbow and newspaper clippings documenting his various world-records. We became good friends all the way until his passing and he taught me all he could about archery, nature, local history, animals, and shared philosophies of life. I came to know Raye's family over those years. And, as I told stories about the amazing Girouards, I quickly learned how he and his family had inspired and assissted so many other locals with a multitude of other needs. They are an integral part of Los Altos history and culture and a positive force in the community. They are among the, sadly, increasingly-few gems that can recall a Los Altos apart from big-tech. To displace the Girouards would very much be an undue shame and tragedy not just to the hearts of many, but to the town, and to the very land itself.
Austin supported: Help Save the Girouard Family Home at Rhus RidgeSusan, Jeremiah and Raylin need to get back home. They are more than an asset to Rhus Ridge. They are watch dogs for the area and have more history than just about anyone in the area. This process has dragged on way too long and needs to come to a reasonable solution. Their home needs repair, let them go in and fix it. They have not even been put on the agenda to speak on record, WHY IS THAT?
Denise supported: Help Save the Girouard Family Home at Rhus RidgeThis family has been a wonderful addition to my hiking experience at Rhus Ridge. Many times I have hiked in the winter with no other hikers. They were very welcoming, sharing history of the area, and providing a sense of security that if I was in trouble help was not far off. The Girouards are a big asset to the park system!
