Republicans refuse to put forth in a bipartisian way, job creation for the unemployed, yet they mistakenly insist that the Democrats are not doing just that. It is time we called on the House and Senate Republicans and asked them to tell the American people why they are holding them hostage to an economy that can only be overcome with the Republicans being part of the solution. Right now they are part of the problem.

Earlier this year, a Federal Advisory Committee appointed by the Departments of Interior and Agriculture commenced work on creating a set of recommendations to establish and implement a 21st century Conservation Service Corps modeled after the Great Depression era Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC).

NAFTA should be amended to allow workers and unions the same rights of mobility that it extends to corporations.

Even though the Americans with Disabilities Act went into effect in 1990, too many employable Americans with disabilities are still out of work. The outrageously high number of employable Americans with disabilities is unacceptable in a modern economy. It's clear that people with disabilities have the highest unemployment rate among any group, and have been left behind in the economic expansions since the ADA became law. We must work to make the dream of our nation's 41st President, George H.W. Bush, of people with even minor disabilities to become part of the economic mainstream of the United States, come true. Strengthening the ADA to ensure more employable people with disabilities obtain good-paying professional jobs should include the following: 1) Adding those with high-functioning autism spectrum disorders, such as Asperger's Syndrome, to the list of people protected from discrimination in employment and accommodations, under the ADA. This sub-group has the highest unemployment rate among the group of employable people with disabilities. 2) Deny employers who discriminate against people with disabilities in employment the right to bid on federal government contracts. 3) Encourage employers to hire people with disabilities, especially those whose only source of income is disability benefits from Social Security, who have college degrees, for professional jobs, and pay them competitive wages. 4) Institute a minimum $1,000 fine (up to as much as $10 million, depending on the company's size) if a company is found to have discriminated against an applicant with a disability in employment and/or accommodations. 5) Make it easier for a person with a disability suing a would-be or former employer to prove discrimination on the basis of disability by taking into consideration the economic damage done to that person due to that particular act of discrimination rather than the damage done to the company. 6) Make it illegal for the agencies charged with administering Vocational Rehabilitation programs to place persons with disabilities with college degrees in low-paying stereotypical jobs, such as supermarket courtesy clerks (grocery baggers), janitors, and working in sheltered workshops. 7) Increase the tax credits for hiring people with disabilities, especially in professional employment, and raise taxes on employers who won't hire people with disabilities. People with disabilities who are employable can, and must, work. Stronger disability rights laws will ensure the dignity of the employable person with a disability, and secure his or her future, both socially and economically.

Created demand! Create jobs by allowing no interest/penalty withdrawal from 401Ks/IRAs so we can buy goods/services, thus force BIG business to hire more people using money they currently sit on. We buy goods/services, it creates the need for more jobs; those employed will buy goods/services; and so on. Big banks, it is our money and we want to use it - give it to us! Businesses, hire more people and they can help the economy too. Us, we can buy food and clothes, repair homes, buy cars, take vacations, go to a movie, etc. WIN WIN WIN!

It's time all churches be taxed. All should pay their fair share.

The presidents's numbers on jobs are dishonest and meant to decieve. Demand that the WH give the actual number of people that are no longer looking, and those currently looking,for work, and add the two together. It's pretty simple.

Leadership is about statesmanship and listening to all sides and making decisions BASED ON WHAT IS BEST FOR THE COUNTRY. Right now, we need to create jobs and put Americans to work. Only Congress can do this. Congress passes laws and controls the purse strings. All the president does is suggest laws and send things to Congress for legislation. Many Republicans in this Congress have signed onto a petition prior to taking office not to pass any bills that require spending and rather than caring about our nation, they are bringing it to the brink of financial disaster. They are sworn to a party ideal rather than to give any credence to anything from this president. This kind of action lacks statesmanship, good judgement and fair mindedness. Some Republican members of Congress are using their offices for nothing but personal and political gain; not to govern fairly. This is shameful and they should be impeached.

Americans work daily only to not make ends meet financially. We Americans need a pay raise.

Real properties owned by religious institutions are tax-exempt. A tax on those properties is not only needed to help pay the cost of government but also to fairly distribute the cost to preserve freedoms. This tax should be levied at both the federal and state level.

I recommend that Romney bring all of his offshore money home.

If the one percent spent as much money on the economy and making jobs instead of trying to manipulate the presidential election, our democracy and economy would be better off.
