So I'm kicking this up yet again to see if I can get it to 100.

If you believe people on welfare that goes directly to their landlord should be able to work a little to get basic necessities - work and legally report it without being punished or their housing undermined - please sign petition.

If you believe welfare should be about helping people get out of poverty instead of driving them into homelessness (and often MAKING them both physically and mentally ill in the process through all the stress it causes) - please sign petition.

If you don't think the U.S. should be engaging in human rights abuses and outright mental and physical torture against it's own citizens - not at Gitmo but right here on U.S. soil - please sign my petition.

Fixing welfare will turn everything around in the U.S., from the bottom up.
