President Obama and Congress end punitive earnings limits on retired and disabled workers on Rail...I am a retired and disabled railroad worker. I am limited to earning no more than $740 per month. Should I exceed this amount by even $1 I lose my entire pension for the month. There are not many part time jobs available that will allow me to work within this limitation. This is true for all railroad workers as well as disabled and retired persons on Social Security. It makes no sense to limit workers earnings as they would be taxed on those earnings, their increased spending ability would help to support local business and help to support the SSI fund. I worked for 30 years in the Railroad industry and earned my pension. It is Draconian to limit my further ability to earn in retirement and demeaning to watch my family's life style suffer.27 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Robert L. HAnwell

Tell Congress to "Pass the Veterans Jobs Corps Act of 2012"The G.O.P. continues to vote down bills created to provide employment opportunities for war veterans, so we must urge these politicians to begin supporting the heroes that fight the wars they support. The time to end hypocritical policies begins now. The bill gives priority to those who served on or after 9/11 with good reason; the jobless rate for veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan hit 10.9% in August, compared with 8.1% nationally. Our heroes face challenges when they return (homelessness, unemployment, and record suicides), and this act would seek to create jobs for veterans in various fields (including law enforcement and firefighting), as well as create jobs to help maintain national veterans’ cemeteries in need of repairs, and to perform a variety of conservation work on federal, state and local parkland. This is our opportunity to show our appreciation and support to the men and women who risked their lives fighting wars by helping to ensure they receive earned opportunities for a successful transition back into our country, the land of the free and the brave.365 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Priscilla Amezquita

Delete school taxes!There should be another way to support our school systems other than taxing homeowners, especially those of us that are retired on a fixed income and the folks with no kids in school. Spread the burden equally to all citizens. There are ways to do that now.13 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Reed Dixon

Rep. Dave Camp, Stop the LiesMichigan Representative to the US House, Rep. Dave Camp (Republican), is attacking President Obama because President Obama granted waivers to the Republican Governors of a handful of states to allow them to try out new approaches to moving people off welfare and into the workforce. President Obama specifically stated in the waivers that they will only be allowed if the result is the movement of more people from welfare to work. Rep. Dave Camp's political attacks are not just misleading, but they fly in the face of the outcome that he purports to be seeking.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jared Slain
