Every time I see a position open to apply for,I am directed straight to a Temp. agency....Has our job market been monopolized to me submitting my personal info. to a mediator service to pimp my skills!!! Why would I need a mediator if my skills are in fact what is required of the position I am applyig for? I recently worked for a company that had 3 different services hiring for an 90-day to 120 day project labeled possible temp. to perm. employment...If the add would've been advertised "Hiring Possible Temp. - Perm. employees based on proformance and skill set for 90-120 day project,please apply at", I would've been in line to apply as I'm sure many others would have...But lately there are no company interveiws for potential hire only employment pools to be serviced as employment coordinators seem fit(employment pimps), according to the commission your hard labor can bring into their agency(similar to Brothalized employment right? You speak with the head Misterist and explain what you are looking for and she matches those skills to someone of that desire and skill set,yet the money only switches hands person to misterist,laborer's left with tired back and compensation at bay...).And if you are working for a temp.service and don't know when your last day of work may suprise you...Then you need to do something about this issue in Illinois...We are the people,our votes count!!!! We make the labor force not the other way around...Let it be known that there is employment avail. out there and you and I are not going to allow Temp. agencies to pool and sale the jobs avail. to us or our skills...That's what the human services' department is for!!!! That's what 90 day probation period is for!!! Why am I working for someone else in a company that has positions avail.,they get my check,dock their percentage and then give me my little pennies to the dollar??? I think it's high time to make a stand...Limit the Temp.Agencies from Monopolization of Illinois...I know most of you are going to say,"What can we do?", Sign this petition and let your voice be heard,even if your son,brother,relative,next door neighbor is being sold in this manor, make a stand!!!

The Trans-Pacific Partnership is a new free trade agreement, the documents of which are being withheld from the American people and Congress itself. President Obama has been negotiating this partnership behind closed doors with 600 corporate representatives and multiple Asian nations. He has broken his campaign promise to renegotiate NAFTA, and is now going as far as to create corporate-friendly deals behind the backs of the citizens who elected him. Any international agreement that will affect the body politic should be made accessible to the body politic, no questions asked.

Another sellout to BIG BUSINESS by our Governor

There is Fraud, Waste and Abuse in all areas of the Federal and State Governments. Millions could be saved if there was a more strict program that required auditing of all government programs. This should be more in-depth audits for programs such as Government Procurement, Medicare, Medicare and all entitlement programs. There should be requirements for states to be required to audit and control all funds received from the federal government. The savings would pay for the employment required for Auditors and would create skilled jobs.

we need to tax goods from American companies that have moved overseas ....if u dont man ufacture here then u will be hit with a tax to bring it bach to the slowly imploding former great USA

I am on Social Security, which borrows tens of billions every year from the U.S. Treasury to feed current retirees like myself, and which will not be around for my grandchildren unless it raises more of its own revenue and limits deductibility for high income retirees. As a benchmark, remember that the current rate is a flat 15.3% for all payroll income up to $110k, a very regressive schedule.

PNC bank mislead us about a hardship program in which we participated by telling us that we were eligible for a "special Obama program". Although we were eligible, they failed to tell us that they were not putting us into that program. Despite the fact that we always paid all the payments agreed upon, they have reported us as being delinquent on our mortgage. Now, they will not refinance our mortgage at the lower rates, and no other bank will either because PNC has reported us as delinquent on payments. PNC engages in MANY fraudulent practices.

I Read on yahoo that the department of transportation wants to tax americans for every mile we drive. That is preposterous we can't afford to pay more taxes and it takes away freedom. It's socialism at its best . http://m.yahoo.com/w/ygo-frontpage/lp/story/us/2977215/coke.bp%3B_ylt=A2KL8wPDrPFQunAALSQp89w4%3B_ylu=X3oDMTFzNGZqbWI4BGNwb3MDMgRjc2VjA21vYmlsZS10ZARpbnRsA3VzBHBrZwNpZC0yOTc3MjE1BHBvcwMxBHNsawN0aHVtYg--?ref_w=frontdoors&view=today&.tsrc=samsungbm&.intl=US&.lang=en

"We the People" demand a $12.00 per hour minimum wage. We refuse to work for wages that keep us well below the poverty line. A viable living wage is a fundamental human right, not a luxury!

Billionaire Developer Donald Trump is seeking to transform Washington DC's historic Old Post Office into a luxury five-star hotel. And he's looking for a special deal to dodge a local tax. DC taxes pay for our city schools, our local police, our public health services. Donald Trump is worth almost $3 billion. The Federal General Services Administration and the District of Columbia should not give Trump a special sweetheart deal -- he needs to pay his fair share.

Stop the GOP from ruining the economy because they are being controlled by Big business which has disguised itself as the TEA party movement.

I think it is time for goverment officials to work for the people and not try to shut down the government. If our officials cannot do the job they are elected for, we need to hold special elections to get these people out of Washington. They are representing the U.S poorly.
