Adam Kinzinger signed a pledge to millionaire lobbyist Grover Norquist to never raise taxes on the wealthy while teachers, firefighters and other public workers are losing their jobs. We call on him to support the Buffett Rule and make the wealthy pay their fair share in taxes.

Youth across New Haven have come together and acknowledge that a lot of their problems stem from unemployment. Youth see there are no opportunities for a better life without a good and decent job. So we need to take a stand and come together for our youth for they are our tomorrow. Here in New Haven we had over 20 deaths this summer. And with New Haven youth leading this movement, along with many organizations, political leaders, educational organizations, labor organizations, community groups, and everyday working people, we see that violence could have been prevented if there were more job opportunities, and opportunities in general for our youth.

I would like to see an targeted message to President Obama explaining to him that he does not need donor money from the wealthiest Americans ie Wall street. If he supports the majority of the American people, we will elect him with or without multi-million dollar advertising targeting us. A news story in the mainstream media about how he enacted the strictest policies against the wealthy ever, is the only campaign ad he needs. 73% of Americans support increasing the taxes on the rich.

TAP America (www.tapamerica.org) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit working to encourage people to practice tolerance and to purchase products made in America to stimulate our job market and economy. Please take a minute to send a message to those with power that value American jobs and don't want to see them shipped overseas.

We elected Scott Garrett to represent the interests of the people of New Jersey's 5th district in Washington. Instead he has signed an oath to Grover Norquist and moved directly in line with John Boehner and Mitch McConnell, devoting his energies to ineffectual, partisan politics, accomplishing nothing. It's time for Mr. Garrett to reaffirm his allegiance to his constituents by working toward creating jobs and lifting up New Jersey's struggling middle class. NOW.

We elected Leonard Lance to represent the interests of the people of New Jersey's 7th district in Washington. Instead he has signed an oath to Grover Norquist and moved directly in line with John Boehner and Mitch McConnell, devoting his energies to ineffectual, partisan politics, accomplishing nothing. It's time for Mr. Lance to reaffirm his allegiance to his constituents by working toward creating jobs and lifting up New Jersey's struggling middle class. NOW.

We the undersigned Citizens of the United States strongly urge you our US Congress to pass and SHEPHERD in to LAW of the land Senate Bill 1517 - This Act may be cited as the `21st Century WPA Act'. A BILL To provide for the creation of jobs. Sponsored by Senator Frank R. Lautenberg [D-NJ] (introduced 9/7/2011).

We're facing an economic crisis, and if Washington tries to solve it the wrong way, the result could be catastrophic for millions of Americans. The Joint Committee on Deficit Reduction - better known as the Super Committee - is meeting and making decisions right now that will profoundly affect the food we eat, the air we breathe, the water we drink and other environmental factors that keep us healthy or prevent illness. We need your help. EWG sent the committee members our recommendations, showing that they can address the budget AND make sure that we protect programs for children, the environment and our health, as well as ensure that there's a true safety net for farmers who need it. Will you tell the committee right away that you stand with EWG?

Enough is enough! We demand that Congress put aside partisan politics and pass a real American Jobs Act!

If the President and the Congress of the United States are unable to reduce unemployment to a level below 5% they should recieve a 10% wage reduction for every 1% over 5% of unemployed, and shall recieve no wage increase during that period unless approved by a vote of the American people.

This Petition is about helping the 99ers get back into the economy. Giving them an advantage to be hired. The time to train people on the job with little investment by the company. And the knowledge of knowing the investment the company will have.

A 2006 law requires the Postal Service to massively pre-fund the cost of future retiree health and pension benefits over the next 75 years in just 10 years time. This covers current employees, AND employees who have YET to be hired - and it is on top of the cost for benefits for current retirees. NO OTHER COMPANY OR AGENCY IN AMERICA IS REQUIRED TO PRE-FUND FUTURE RETIREE BENEFITS. Two audits have found a surplus of $50 to $75 billion in the portion of the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS), which covers these requirements. The solution has been introduced as H.R. 1351, which would allow the USPS access to its own money, funds that are in excess of what they will ever need to pay for pensions, and offer a responsible way of dealing with its financial crisis. All this, and not costing any TAXPAYER DOLLARS. H.R. 1351 currently has 193 co-sponsors from both political parties. A different bill has been presented by Rep. Darrel Issa, the so-called Postal Reform Act, H.R.2309, which calls for cutbacks, layoffs, NO Saturday delivery, and would basically KILL the Postal Service. H.R. 2309 has a co-sponsorship of ONE. This bill needs to be stopped before it ever reaches a vote.
