I CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE A 20% PAY CUT. I TAKE CARE OF AN ELDERLY PARENT AND MY DAUGHTER..PLEASE STOP THIS NONSENCE .THE WARFIGHTER IS GOING TO SUFFER WITHOUT HIS PROPER SUPPORT.(CIVILIAN EMPLOYEES)

Our agency is currently going be cutting Border Patrol salary by about 40% if the budget does not go through. I believe this is going to be devastating for the majority of agents, who spent on average 10 hrs a day on the front-lines keeping the drugs and illegal aliens from entering the US. The cuts are going to be 10% furlough, 8-10 % falsa and 25% AUO (uncontrollable overtime pay or pretty much the same amount we get on a hly wage). I believe the morale is already at its lowest levels and with these cuts next month i think it will be at 0%; Causing a major influx of drugs and illegal entries. This will be felt by the surrounding states and eventually the entire US. It doesn’t really make the general news but we are capturing tons of illegal drugs and in the thousands of illegal aliens to the point where some of our station are unable to house them; Hence the reason why recent events led ICE detention center to release thousands of aliens. They are simple overwhelmed with what we are giving them on a daily basis. They have no beds and that’s the only reason for release nothing more. Someone needs to review our depart policy and stand behind us instead of against us guys in green. thanks

Our goal is to save the U.S. Postal Service from drastic cuts in service. We want the postal service to cease closing mail processing plants. We want the postal service to continue 6 day delivery and we want the postal service to stop closing post offices and cutting retail operating hours. Our goal is to see the dramatic pre payments into retirement accounts to stop and be returned to the postal service. We are proud of our postal network in Colorado and want to keep it the way it is.

I have been on Workman Compensation for 2 years now, the company that is suppose to work with me to improve my life after an injury is not doing there part to see success. I have always been a hard working Vermonter who takes pride in being a productive member of the working class. I had to sell my home and work in jobs that were not suited for me and my injuries. I believe that Out of State Workman Compensations company should be banned from Vermont. I had no case manager or Nurse to oversee my situation. I have more to share about my situation and would love to have ears that could help me and others in this horrible situation. Thank you Sincerely Pam Provost

The NY Senate is putting forth an increase in the minimum wage that has left out tipped workers! this leaves out around 50% of minimum wage workers in New York. With some of the worst inequality in the nation, we cannot afford to leave anyone behind in this small victory against income inequality.

We can't wait for Washington to raise the minimum wage. Colorado now has all three branches of the state government in Democratic hands. So lets take action here in this state.

Countless Florida residents are unemployed and trying to make mortgage payments for underwater properties with no help from our governor or banks.

To make our members of Congress aware of an "invisible" segment of America.

I live in New Bern, NC and I am outraged at Congress not coming up with deal to fix the sequester. This affects me because most of our economy comes from the brave men and women in uniform who defend this country, so that slack-jaw yokes like me can enjoy this great country. Congress needs to get locked in their seats until they can come up with a solution to fix this problem.

TO GET AN UP OR DOWN VOTE ON THE AMERICAN JOBS ACT!

In Rhode Island it's legal for owners, managers, and supervisors to steal tip money from their hard-working employees. Many states have outlawed the practice, but there is still no real federal law against it. Our proposed bill will ban managerial employees from taking any portion of workers' gratuities, whether they do it through simply demanding a cut or through automatic service charges, credit card fees, or by including themselves in tip pools.

Don't take Social Security and Medicare under the guise of fixing the nation's "debt problem."
