Local Ypsilanti Twp. Business needs your support!Recently, Ypsilanti Township sent notice to cease sales of anything other than clothing/apparel. Our purpose is to have a reputable thriving business that will benefit the residents of Ypsilanti Township and surrounding communities by purchasing items from auctions and/or estate sales and selling those items at a low, affordable price. Such items would include; dishes, house wares, kitchen wares, home decor etc. With the economy at a low we feel the items we sell are beneficial to our customers. We, the undersigned, request that you allow Beacon Hair Design to continue selling other items in addition to clothing/shoes/purses so they may continue to help the community purchase items at low prices that are in like/new condition.109 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Local Ypsilanti Twp.

Stop Gov. Christie's Plan to Privatize NJ Turnpike Toll OperationsDespite the fact that New Jersey has one of the highest unemployment rates in the country, the NJTA is considering a privatization plan that could cost hundreds of New Jersey residents and tax payers their jobs. This plan would result in a lower quality of life for toll operators while having no proven benefit for New Jersey motorists. New Jersey's tolls bring in more than $1.6 Billion annually. The best case scenario has privatization saving between $5 and $6 million a year. This plan would have a slight benefit for New Jerseyans at the expense of hundreds of working families.253 of 300 SignaturesCreated by John Connelly

March on Capital HillYes lost my job illegally after almost 25 years at 1 company and now more unemployment. We the US people are now forced to make choices, food, lose our homes, utilities or Obama Care.

Mr. President and Members of Congress: Extend the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act Now!The housing crisis has not ended! More than 1.2 million properties are in some stage of foreclosure. If the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act is not extended, debt reduced by lenders due to a mortgage restructuring, foreclosure or short sale, will once again become taxable income creating additional hardship for people who are already experiencing emotional and financial devastation. Mr. President and Members of Congress, extend the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act now!57 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lisa Kelley

PET(S) CLAIMED AS A DEPENDENTI consider "my children" my three dogs and my cat. I currently have Pet Insurance, for each of these dogs, that I pay for monthly. If a person(s) pays for the health and well-being of their pet, just like a child is cared for, why can't our pets be claimed on our taxes as a dependent(s)? Our pets may not be "people" but they are living creatures who deserve to be treated and cared for just like us humans.26 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Katie Maselli

Tell President Obama: announce a "Good Jobs" executive order during the State of the Union!According to the Washington Post, the president is considering announcing a "Good Jobs" executive order in his State of the Union address next week. It is critical that we call on the White House to take this important step forward. Demos's research has found that the federal government is the nation's leading low-wage employer, with nearly two million private-sector employees paid through federal contracts, grants, loans, concession agreements, and property leases paid $12 or less per hour. Meanwhile, Demos finds that taxpayers spend an estimated $20.8 - $23.9 billion a year to compensate top executives of federal contractors. Despite a proud history of efforts to ensure that employees working on behalf of America are treated fairly on the job, and that companies that have the privilege of doing business with the United States are upholding high standards of employment practice, many federally funded jobs today have been subject to the same race to the bottom that has lowered standards for other work. By signing such an order, President Obama would not only improve conditions for low-paid contract workers but would also give greater momentum to the fight for a federal minimum wage increase that would benefit everyone. Tell President Obama to announce the "Good Jobs" executive order during the State of the Union on Tuesday night.629 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Heather McGhee, Demos
