People are approved for unemployment and if the employer fights it you get 3 appeals the worker usually wins the first two and collects unemployment in the meantime and then normally loses the last appeal and then has to pay the money back and if he/she wants to appeal again they have to file in court and pay. I have been affected by this personally and all evidence showed I was entitled to my unemployment.but still lost the 3rd appeal.

If Western Youth Institute closes in North Carolina it will harm the economy in Western, North Carolina. I have several family members that are employed at Western Youth Institute a.k.a "High Rise" that are in jeopardy of being unemployed if this facility closes. More than 380 people will lose their jobs. This will definitely effect the local economy in our area. Governor McCory you are supposed to be assisting North Carolina with job creation. Why are you taking jobs away.

I find that the $8.55 per hour wage for care providers who work at homes of people with disabilities and seniors to be below the realistic cost to survive in the modern community. Because of the much work of care providers, lifting clients; cooking; cleaning, should be respected and thus paid more. I am asking that the wage increases to $12/hour. I had a friend who did this for a person, being a care provider, and hardly made the cut in paying bills or buying food.

On March 25, 2013, workers at the Renaissance Providence Hotel announced their demands that the hotel improve its appalling working conditions, give them a voice on the job, and honor a fair process for union organizing.

Now the workers have spoken: enough is enough. Please sign on to support the the workers' fight. This petition will be delivered to the Renaissance Providence's management in a future delegation.

Via FICA both Social Security and Medicare are funded by payroll deductions on the working class. This gets short-circuited when jobs are off-shored. The fix surcharging all imported goods to price them within a fair and free competitive window of what they would cost to make domestically. WE NEED THIS PRO-LABOR LEGISLATION...

Tax payer money is being spent on foreign made materials that are being installed in our publicly funded buildings. When tax payer money is spent I believe it should benefit the American people as much possible.

WORKING AT A FOOD BANK ,HAS OPENED MY EYES TO THE TREMENDOUS PROBLEM IN THE UNITED STATES.

This petition advocates creating new owners of future productive capital investment in businesses simultaneously with the growth of the economy and thereby broaden private, individual ownership of America's future capital wealth. We need to reform the Federal Reserve Bank to create new owners of future productive capital investment in businesses simultaneously with the growth of the economy. The solution to broadening private, individual ownership of America's future capital wealth requires that the Federal Reserve stop monetizing unproductive debt, including bailouts of banks "too big to fail" and Wall Street derivatives speculators, and begin creating an asset-backed currency that could enable every man, woman and child to establish a Capital Homestead Account or "CHA" (a super-IRA or asset tax-shelter for citizens) at their local bank to acquire a growing dividend-bearing stock portfolio to supplement their incomes from work and all other sources of income. Policies need to insert American citizens into the low or no-interest investment money loop to enable non- and undercapitalized Americans, including the working class and poor, to build wealth and become "customers with money." The proposed Capital Homestead Act would produce this result.
