Ask Senator Boozman why he is denying our Veterans jobs, homes, and healthcare?

David Vitter, do not block the vote on the veteran jobs program. We need to show American veterans that we appreciate all of their efforts on behalf of peace and freedom in the Middle East and elsewhere.

Folks in Missouri are outraged that Senator Roy Blunt voted to block a billion-dollar veteran jobs program and want him to explain why he abandoned our veterans despite their high rate of unemployment and homelessness.

LIKE BLOOD, MONEY ONLY WORKS WHEN IT CIRCULATES, BRINGING NUTRIENTS FOR GROWTH AND PROSPERITY TO THE INDIVIDUAL CELLS AND TISSUES OF THE SOCIAL BODY. PUT AMERICA BACK TO WORK!

Sen. Kelly Ayotte voted to block a billion-dollar veteran jobs program. Why did she abandon our veterans despite their high rate of unemployment and homelessness?

New Jersey has been given $300 million dollars to fight foreclosures in the state. Gov. Christie has only seen fit to release $4 million since the grant was given in 2011. New Jersey has the second highest foreclosure rate in the nation and struggling homeowners could be helped by using these federal dollars. Gov. Christie needs to be told to help New Jersey homeowners.

Are you outraged that Rep. Paul Ryan justified Mitt Romney paying a lower tax rate than middle-class Americans by saying he created jobs? Romney has done nothing but outsource jobs putting thousands of Americans out of work! He approves of distorting the truth by taking sound bites from President Obama's speeches as if the president was implying something different than what he really said and claims he pulls false ads!

Our U.S. military is beyond scrutiny regarding waste, kick-backs and lucrative government contracts. Furthermore the budget for our forces is greater than those of the world's leading countries––combined. Meanwhile Medicare and Social Security are threatened, even though the monies there belong to citizen who have invested in these programs to provide for their futures. Let conservatives know that we're onto them.

Due to the collapse of the U.S. housing bubble in 2007 and the global financial crisis that followed in 2008, millions of Americans (including myself) have struggled to survive and are loosing patience with the recovery. This Great Recession will not really end and housing will not recover until well paying jobs with decent benefits are created again. A "National Renewable Energy Jobs Program" is the stimulus that our country needs. We must create local jobs in every region of America in the following ways: • Building or remodeling factories to make renewable energy systems such as wind turbines and solar panels. The rest of the world needs to make and use their own renewable energy systems so that our planet will become sustainable everywhere. • Building “Renewable Energy Farms” and completing a “Smart Grid” to utilize the energies in every region. As an example, the Midwest might use wind power and bio-fuels while the Southwest might use solar and geothermal power. • Funding with “Energy Security Bonds” that would allow U.S. corporations and wealthy individuals to reinvest their offshore accounts back into America. After converting our country into a "Renewable Energy Economy", all of the assets can be privatized and the bonds retired. From a business perspective this program will produce a great “Triple Bottom Line.” There will be excellent environmental benefits in significantly reduced pollution, huge economic benefits from increased revenues & vast social benefits from job creation. And last of all, provide us with the freedom to improve our lives and to help rebuild our country so that future generations will remember to never underestimate the capabilities of the United States of America.

Under an "At Will" contract in the State of California an employee can be terminated with no notice, no pay in lieu and no reason given for the termination, no matter how long they've worked for the company. This has happened to me three times now. I believe that this is ethically wrong. An employee has the right to know why they are being terminated and to be given an opportunity to defend themselves or put right any grievances that the employer may have against them. I had no feedback at all from my employer as to why I was being terminated, and this is very detrimental to my future employment prospects, as if I don't know what's wrong I can't improve my performance. Plus I am emotionally traumatized by these events, and with the lack of information it's hard to move on. I would like the State of California (and other states if appropriate) to enact new laws protecting employee rights, stating that an employee has the right to have: 1. A valid reason for their termination. 2. A chance to petition the employer for reconsideration. 3. Written warning before termination, and the opportunity to put right any performance-related issues before termination is considered.

I live in FL and my husband is a veteran. I want FL Senator Marco Rubio to explain why he voted against a jobs program for veterans.
