Wal Mart does not produce goods and services in United Stated but sell to the US. How many jobs could be created in the America if businesses like Wal Mart moved their production by to America.

I am in imineint danger of losing my home to foreclosure because the President's initiatve on foreclosure prevention does not reach far enough to assist people like me. It stops a year short w/ your hardship having to occur after January 1, 2008 Instead of 2007. Also, the Big banks like Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Citigroup and CHASE have consitently denied assistance through modifications etc. to me and others who do not qualify for the mortgage protection program.

Petition is to stop unfunded mandates by Federal government and by State government. If these levels of government want something done, fund it. Otherwise local budgets already "set" as in the case of County Commissioners, Town Councils and/or School Boards are put in a real bind. I have lived with this many times at the local level and it is disruptive in ways you can scarcely imagine! Fund it or forget it!

We are a retired military family. After 26 years of service to our country, we were finally able to put down roots and become home owners. The weakened economy has caused my husband to be downsized twice since he retired. Although he is thankfully employed again, the loss of the Mortgage Interest Deduction will increase our tax burden by thousands of dollars. It will have a significant impact on our finances and those of many middle class families. I call on the President, and the lawmakers of both Houses to retain this essential deduction for struggling middle class families who wish fervently to keep their homes.

People lost over 30% of their retirement savings during the economic downturn, which disproportionately affected those nearing retirement. This has caused many people in their 50's and 60's to delay retirement, thereby not freeing up jobs for younger people. We believe that a tax waiver for the first $60,000 of retirement investments (IRA'S, 401K's) per year will result in greater economic security for retirees, and open up additional jobs.

This retirement is a proven system, this retirement has been built for over 100 years over 36,000 days. The Railroad is the history of the movement of the United States, The reason why we are where we are today, and the blood, hard earned sweat and years of life it has taken from our American families. I am a Veteran, a fourth generation railroader and I know how hard the history of railroaders have worked and what they gave up for our security. It is the system that us middle class have strived for our security, it's not that we are not willing to help but we have strength as a Union and is what America needs more of. We need to make more systems like railroad retirement not get rid of it for a short fix... Its like getting rid of the VA, is that next.
