Making companies accountable for their mistakesI worked for a health care company and at the time of hire they misrepresented my wage and their were other ambiguities with the offer letter. When I became aware of the misrepresentation I followed the channels of communication to rectify the issue and was told they made a numerical error and the issue wasn't rectified. I didn't believe it was fair. I emailed the next person to try to make an appointment to discuss the matter and was terminated because the stated I didn't follow the channels of communication. Due to At Will employment laws I believe other people have, can, and will lose their jobs for situations like this.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Shonia Monteiro

Student Debt Federal and State Tax ExemptionI'm calling for a stand to help those who are in debt from Student Loans. I am college graduate with a Bachelor's Degree in Business Management. I was lucky enough to find a decent paying after college. However, between the amount I have to pay for my monthly student loan payments and my other bills, I don't have much of my paycheck left. Currently, I am living with family because I cannot afford a place of my own because of my student loan payments. I have added up my total expenses and have found that if I didn't have taxes taken out of my paycheck that I would be able to afford a place of my own. Given the situation of the economy and seeing as how the government has made very little effort to help those who are struggling because of their student debt, I feel that the people who have finished their higher education should be exempt from paying both Federal and State taxes until their loans are paid off.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Joel

Save the Post OfficeWhy not sell advertising on postage stamps, save the USPS, and keep the stamp rates from going up, up, up. I would just as soon look at the new cars or a soda can as a dead celebrity or a yellow bird.34 of 100 SignaturesCreated by ellie lingner

Vets need more substance than symbolismAll over Wyoming we see public support for our troops overseas, but just because their tours of duty might end doesn't mean that the debt owed them by their country ends with them. Nonetheless, our troops are coming home to Wyoming and finding it even harder than non-vets to find jobs, housing and support. We can wave all the banners we want, paste all the bumper stickers we can find, but that doesn't put paychecks in veteran hands or roofs over veteran heads. Recently, Senator John Barrasso voted to block a billion-dollar veterans jobs program, and its time, we in Wyoming, did more to support our troops than bumper stickers and trite reposted pictures on Facebook. Sign the petition today and tell Sen. Barrasso to support our troops with deeds, not words.322 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Josh Kronberg

Support jobs for veteransOur Senator Saxby Chambliss voted to block a billion dollar veterans job program. We are concern why you abandoned our veterans at this time. Our veterans should be our number one concern. They keep us out of harm's way, and we as a country should take care of their needs. We're calling on you to withdraw your block vote on this veteran bill. They deserve housing and jobs.130 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Bettina M. Parker

Senator Michael Crapo votes against Veterans jobs act.Senate Veterans' Affairs Chairwoman Patty Murray (D-Wash.) said the cost of the bill, $1 billion over five years, is offset. She noted that a vote to block the measure is tantamount to saying the nation has done enough for veterans. "A vote to support this point of order says that despite the fact that we have paid for this bill, despite the fact that one in four young veterans are out of work, despite the fact that veterans suicides are outpacing combat deaths, and despite the fact that more and more veterans are coming home, we are not going to invest in these challenges," Murray said. The nation owes veterans "more than just a pat on the back for their service," she continued. "We owe them more than bumper stickers and platitudes. We owe them more than procedural roadblocks that will impede our ability to provide help now and into the future. We owe them action." Murray continued: "We owe them real investments that will help get them back to work. And that's what this bill does."873 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by Stuart Wells
