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.

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.

Congress is rushing to pass legislation today to end the airline delays caused by the sequester cuts. It's not a bad idea, but the sequester is causing all sorts of problems, so why focus just on this? The reason is Congress is hearing from wealthy contributors who fly frequently--and also they personally are going on recess next week and don't want to be inconvenienced when they travel home. This is outrageous. Cancer patients are being turned away from clinics. Kids are being thrown out of Head Start programs. Housing assistance, unemployment insurance, and food pantries have all been cut. Congress is ignoring all these emergencies--while focusing only on how they personally are being inconvenienced.

To request an election of the wheel tax

I want the president to VETO any and all bills passed by this Congress that only stops part of the Sequester! For example, by preventing the furloughs of air traffic controllers other airport/airline items will have to be cut! Furthermore, how about ALL of government employees that will continued to be furloughed like the National Park Service! We need to stop the ENTIRE SEQUESTER AND NOT JUST PIECES OF IT!

Allow all federal government departments to use their 'sequestration' budget as they see fit, as proposed for the FAA by the Senate

Raising the National Minimum Wage

Problem: austerity measures and the occupation of sovereign nations by foreign entities manipulating countries for the purpose of economic gain at the expense of hard working citizens Solution: The european union, Germany especially, the IMF and other organizations involved in the impoverishment of European nations such as Greece, Portugal, Spain and Italy need to change their ways. An uproar has already started on the streets of these nations so lets go further with it.

People who are not working or filing income taxes are selling their children's social security numbers for dependents. The person filling income taxes is paying the person money in return. These people are getting high returns illegally. I can't believe the IRS is not following up on these Social Security numbers when claims are filed. There is more going on than you think.

Right now Chris Christie is traveling the state promoting his election-year tax plan that gives tax breaks to people making $400,000 a year and will prevent us from creating jobs and giving New Jersey a real recovery. Three years of tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations haven’t brought New Jersey the jobs it desperately needs. And Christie's paid for those tax cuts by slashing investments that would give us a real New Jersey comeback. Another giveaway to people making $400,000 only makes investing in schools, colleges and clean energy even harder. So far Democratic leaders like Sheila Oliver are standing strong against a bad idea. Tell Speaker Oliver that you’re with her on this one.

The sequester is going to get more and more expensive to us ordinary Americans. We will all pay in time wasted, jobs lost, and goods and services wasted. Lets send the responsible congressmen a bill for the loss their playing politics is causing us.
