• Credit Report
    I think that I was discriminated against by a employer because of my credit score. I have lost my job and my credit score has suffered because I could only afford to pay for the necessities. I was more that qualified for the position but was not hired. On the application, it was stated that they do credit check.

  • First Money in a Budget Crisis comes from Congress
    Congress has let the Budget hang for too long. Let Them pay for their stupidity. Before general department cuts, Congress' salary and privileges will be completely cut. Privileges are for Performance of duties and the income is token from the days when budgeting the government's expenditures was the job of Volunteers for a few years, rather than the reason for being a legislator.

  • Elected Democrats Need to Stand Up Now!
    Several times recently, including this past week, elected democrats allowed republicans to call the shots in the Senate. We cannot continue to support elected officials who turn their backs on the poor and disenfranchised to accommodate those of us with means....such as allowing the sequester to be lifted to prevent inconvenience to those who fly while poor little children go to school hungry or are not allowed to go at all...due to squester cutbacks.

  • "Increase minimum wage"
    Minimum wage needs to increase, we live in the richest nation and many of us our living paycheck to paycheck. The politicians that we vote into office are against an increase in the minimum wage requirement. Our hard earned tax dollars that our government take out of our paycheck insure that the politicians we have elected earns more than minimum wage. But their against hard working Americans doesn't have to struggle with paying bills and getting out of dept.

  • Correct income inequality in 10 years
    My petition wants the president to lead in his second term and the senate and congress to formulate a plan to return the wealth distribution pie back to the great 1950's. It is about increasing wages and passing laws that give working people a fair share of America's wealth. Correcting income inequality is crucial to a true democratic society.

  • Veto the change in FAA sequester
    Why does congress want to "fix" the FAA delays problem for themselves and their powerful lobby friends when noone is considering the thousands of children thrown out of Headstart or the seniors unable to get cancer drugs? This is beyond shameful. President Obama is our last hope. Veto this and fix the real problem all at once!

  • Congress Save the Unemployed
    My wife is collecting emergency unemployment funds and the federal budget cuts known as sequestration require states to trim federal benefits known as Emergency Unemployment Compensation by roughly 10 percent. Our citizens who are currently unemployed should not have their funds cut especially with the weak job market. Once again, citizens who can least afford it are burdened with paying the federal debt. Tell congress to stop exploiting the poor and unemployed and find another way to take care of their debt.

  • What's wrong with this picture
    Why are we putting back air controllers when other important issues are still hurting because of the sequestration? Are policemen, firefighters, children, meals on wheels any less? Inconvenience is the lamest excuse I have ever heard of. 93% of Americans probably can't even afford to fly. POTUS really. Get your priorities straight. We fought for Pres Obama you need to stand by us.
