This petition is to lower the New Jersey Toll prices that were implemented in the beginning of the 2012 year. Particularly more so the New Jersey Turnpike and the Garden State Parkway.

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.

A Forgiveness Act allowing all of the Home Owner's who lost their homes to foreclosure or short sales and who have maintained a good credit rating "other than the mortgage default" This will bring back 2 million Home Buyer's back into the market, each home sale infuses the economy with approximately $57,000 per transaction: Commissions to Real Estate Agents,Lender's, Lawyer's, Title Companies, Appraiser's, Insurance Agents, Mover's, Painter's, Utility Installer's, etc Real Estate Taxes increase, Neighborhoods stablize, Property Value's Increase

If you are truly a lover of this wonderful country, then listen to the desperate voices of its people asking for jobs, for reparing bridges and roads, for teachers and policemen on the streets...Pass the Job Act

Help save the United States Post Office by urging Congress to eliminate a $5.5 billion pre-funding requirement. The pre-funding requirement is an unnecessary burden on the Postal Service. The Postal Service has met its obligation and has over funded retiree's health benefits by $75 billion.

I work like for those who are disabled to be able to work a part- time job to first be able to pay back into the system in which supplies there income. its like working to pay back what is being given to you. Then you can also have extra money so that you won't be , struggle to make ends meet . This would also allow you to have a since of purpose in life . There are no programs in Ohio that do that. On disability if you work for a long of they review the case and take you off disabiltytime

Paul Ryan was in Janesville, Wisconsin for Labor Day, his hometown in his home district. People who approached him to ask questions were treated with condescension, flippancy and rudeness. Their questions were about jobs and the economy. Mr. Ryan's views are more relevant than ever as a candidate for Vice President and in a community that has lost a GM plant. I live in Janesville.

Stay at home moms, who now have grown children, and men and women over 50 needing to return to the work force, have a hard time getting work, now competing with a younger generation. We need an opportunity to be trained and able to work again, not feeling like we're outcasts because we've dedicated our lives to raising our children, or because of age.

I'm tired of Republicans running on how terrible our economic recovery is going, blaming it on President Obama, then blocking any and all measures to stimulate our economy.

Making public display of the list of people fired by Republican governors just to slow our economy and to stop worker rights. We need to show people who has been purposely damaging our economy and people. Christie fired all of the police in Newark and than gave his RNC speech same day!

I went through foreclosure (due to job loss) in 2008 on my $211,000 condo which I purchased and received the old $7500 1st time home buyers credit (to be repaid over 15 years as opposed to the recent $8000 one that did not have to be paid back). Now I owe the IRS the remaining balance even though all of that money went towards improvements of a condo that is no longer mine and -to add insult to injury- was recently sold for $75,000! As someone struggling to regain employment it is extremely frustrating and disheartening owing that much money on something I no longer have any ties to and I believe the many people in similar situations to mine feel the same way.
