On May 12, 2012. the U.S. Department of Labor cut federal funding to hundreds of thousands of US Families across the country. The 2011 unemployment emergency assistance has not been extended into 2012 and benefits are being cut off with little notice. In April fifteen states were cut off from dedicated federal funds, in May eight more states unemployed have been cut off even though they have a remaining balance on their claim. Hundreds of thousands across the country are at risk of losing their homes, apartments, and cars. Families are still struggling while lawmakers refuse to help. Tell lawmakers to rescue families across the country hit hardest by the economic downturn, and act swiftly in extending federal unemployment benefits in 2012.

During this year alone, hundreds of thousands of Americans are expected to be too broke to file for bankruptcy. The average cost to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection, the most common form of consumer bankruptcy, is more than $1,500, according to the most recent research submitted to the National Bureau of Economic Research. Then there are the additional costs on top of this, including fees for mandatory pre-bankruptcy credit counseling and a pre-discharge debtor education course. According to a recent study sponsored by the American Bankruptcy Institute, these average about $85 altogether. As a result, there are anywhere between 200,000 and one million consumers, it is estimated, who will be unable to meet the steep cost of filing. What this means is that many Americans, who have seen their debt spin out of control because of things like job loss, foreclosure or a medical emergency, are now left without their last financial lifeline. Yes, Virginia, there really is a Santa Claus, and the the 2005 Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act, was a gift to make it Christmas morning, every morning, for the Bankruptcy Lawyers, Banks and Credit Card Companies.

Increase job opportunities for many, in particular poor people, by removing an unnecessary barrier to hiring. If something is not necessary to do a job, it should not be a requirement to get the job!

Since the senate have refused to pass the Buffet Bill- I say we the people vote on it instead, Senators are often quite wealthy & between this conflict of interest & rich lobbyists, there would be little hope that it would pass anyway. So why don't the 99% help to pass a federal bill that needs to happen. What we lack in funding [$$$] we make up for in numbers.

ALEC claims to be non partisan & claims it is not a lobbying group. They are extremely partisan & feed state legislatures with pro big business laws. They should not have a tax exempt status.

Churches are now being run like businesses and are heavily involved in election politics. They now more resemble a corporation and since corporations are now people. They should be required to pay taxes just like "We the people" must do.
