    Welfare keeps people down. It is not a way out of poverty but the ceiling one hits their head upon while trying to claw one's way out. Those that really need assistance are negatively affected by those that cheat the system.

    If we got the drug addicts off of the free help then maybe there would be some help open to the people that actually work an honest living and need the help.

    I agree with this petition 100%. My hard earned tax dollars are paying for them to use drugs. I have drug testing at work, so should they! This money is meant for children who need help, not druggies!

    As a taxpayer there has to be Welfare, foodstamps, section 8 housing reform. The military and most major companies has drug testing. It should only be fair for public assistance recipients have drug testing before getting and randomly do so.

    I believe that this should be a condition to receive public assistance. It's not fair that tax paying citizens should pay for drug habits. If these people are doing illegal drugs then it defeats the purpose of HELPING THE CHILDREN! It's bad enough that women are getting rewarded for having multiple children by men and both are incapable of taking care of the children. I say when they reach out a hand, give them a cup! Maybe they will begin to think twice about having unprotected sex/unwanted children if they know they can't profit from it.

    It's about time someone has started this petition. I believe that you should be hair, urine and blood tested before you receive ANY assistance...

    If you have the money for drugs, or the nerve to use them when you have children, then you certainly don't need welfare.
