• Real Salaries for Waitresses and Waiters
    Stop subsidizing establishements who do not pay real salaries to their waitresses and waiters but depend on cutormers tipping them. Why should we subsidize restaurants when it is their responsibility to pay a fair day wage to their employees including benefits? The clients responsibility is to pay for the meal and not the service. We don't tip nurses, bus drivers, drycleaners, grocery clerks because they receive salaries from their employers.

  • Government Out-of-Control Spending
    If those in power would just get along and try to figure this out the government could do what us normal people have had to do in these past years. Cut a little here and there until we all do our best to live within our means. Why should the government spend like there is no tomorrow? We can't!

  • 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.

    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!
