I have been looking for a good job for 5years could not find one after I was laid off from the board of Education , because of cutbacks. I was a teacher's assistant for 7 years. since I could not find a job that could keep me and my daughter from living in our car. I finally took my mothers advice "can't find a job, make a job". I now work out of my home as a daycare provider, overnight, weekend babysitter, I also clean houses on the weekends. We the people need "one" good paying job.

Modern Money Theory (MMT) can allow the citizens of the USA to cease fear of the deficit/debt bogie men. MMT will permit understanding that this sovereign country can always pay it's debts. A country which prints/uses it's own currency and employs floating exchange rates can never go broke and need not fear inflation as long as there are unemployed citizens willing to work. A Central Bank (Fed Reserve) can always control interest rates of the USA

Let's be sure that everyone has to share in the cuts coming down the line because of the Sequester. Families and communities across the country are looking at cuts in services or possibly loss of a job, so the least that Congress can do is take a cut in their benefits and salary.

Citizens - demand your Oregon representatives to fully support to SB 754, PERS reform. SB 754 proposes reasonable changes to PERS and our legislators should fully support the passage of the legislation. SB 754 begins by limiting Cost Of Living Adjustments (COLA’s) to the first $2,000 of monthly retirement benefit payments. SB 754 reforms the common practice known as “spiking,” which inflates the final average salaries of soon-to-retire employee incomes. SB 754 removes the income tax reimbursement bonus for PERS retirees who live outside of Oregon and do not pay Oregon income taxes SB 754 redirects the 6% IAP employee payment (currently paid by the employer for 70% of PERS members), to a new account in the PERS fund for each PERS Tier 1 and Tier 2 member. SB 754 adjusts the anomaly of the PERS “Money Match.” The Money Match is an alternative calculation to the Full Formula annuity. The PERS uncontrolled cost increases are damaging local government and service district’s financial base and will over future years start to cripple their ability to serve residents and tax payers. PERS does not add any value to the taxpayers. Call your Oregon State Senators and Representatives and ask them to stop the uncontrolled PERS cost increases by passing SB 754.

Most Citizens make far less than $100,000 a year. No govermental worker of any stripe should earn more via overtime or direct salary than that amount. Honor and Duty should prevail over the absurd income levels of many in the higher reaches of government make as well as those who reach this amount through excessive overtime.

Paul Ryan's newest budget plan -- a rehash of the plan Americans resoundingly rejected last year, but with even deeper cuts -- protects the wealthy while demanding sacrifice from those who can least afford it. Ryan's plan privatizes Medicare. It slashes education, infrastructure and research funding. It makes it harder for poor Americans to afford health care by nearly cutting Medicaid in half by 2023. And it does all that while giving big tax breaks to the very wealthiest Americans and maintaining our unsustainable military budget. Congress must reject Paul Ryan's cruel budget and focus on helping the millions of Americans who are still struggling.

This petition is to ensure quality of life for convicted felons those who have served time and are in need of a jobs housing and education.

Instead of focusing on putting Missourians back to work, some extremist lawmakers want to make Missouri a so-called "right to work" state. "Right to work" laws have nothing to do with rights or work. They are simply political attacks aimed at weakening unions. So-called "right to work" states have higher poverty, higher rates of workplace injuries and fatalities, fewer people with health insurance, and lower wages for ALL workers. Tell your Missouri legislator to focus on jobs, not attacks.

A lot of our people don't have a way too get too Lancaster,S.C. Too the workforce center and I thank it unfair. Get a life and help the people that need it .

My petition is to reduce the sales taxes in TN making echo to Bil Hasslam Republican principles, and to implement Stat Income tax to move the state to the 21st Century.

Oklahoma is one of a handful of states who tax food and grocery items. This taxation of essential life sustaining items like food is counter productive to the welfare of citizens and the economy of small business.
