When Exxon and other oil companies are showing higher profits than at any time in history and when there seems to be no prevailing sense of civic or corporate fairness, there should be some vehicle to get the attention of these coporations and of Congress. Either eliminate loopholes for Big Oil or implement a windfall profits tax.

We need to put teeth into laws prohibiting age discrimination in hiring to ensure that qualified job-seekers over the age of 50 are not discriminated against by potential employers. Employers frequently turn down older applicants due to many erroneous notions; among them, that older workers on the payroll increase insurance premiums. An older applicant's qualifications, experience and work ethic appear to take a back seat to the employer's bottom line. Let's make sure that qualified seniors have an equal chance in the workplace!

A new book has been published, revealing what most of us knew;THE Republicans has planned to stop the Presidents agenda even during his inauguration, halting the most basic needs of our citizens, such as health care, Medicare, Medicaid, jobs and now talks about cutting food stamps and other social programs that benefit the less fortunate, while at the same time, the REPUBLICAN PARTY, doesn't want millionaires and billionaires to pay equal amounts on taxes as the middle class. The REPUBLICANS allow corporations to fraudulently use loopholes to dodge paying taxes. I want to get rid of as many of the house REPUBLICANS as possible, as many of the REPUBLICAN SENATORS as possible and DEMOCRATIC SENATORS who has a tendency to vote with them. We also need to squash the TEA PARTY and send them back to the 1950s AMERICA. It's a shame the the REPUBLICANS launched such a divisive campaign, before PRESIDENT OBAMA got his foot in the door.

Were asking people all over to help change a horrible situation. How would you like to work for a wage that is over 20 years old? Thanks for helping

One of the biggest problems in Washington State is that people have trouble navigating the unemployment insurance bureaucracy, in order to get to the compensation they desperately need in order to pay for work search expenses. People should have a right to the money that they've paid out of their paychecks to pay for state unemployment insurance compensation, regardless of what might transpire on the job. Its only fair that one should expect the services one pays for. It should not be the states position to have to pass judgement on an individual's work performance, and pit the employee against the employer in cases of termination. As it currently stands, the government is forced to judge against the individual and make determinations that affect the individual's right to work. Lets help restore compassion to the system, and save hundreds of thousands of people from homelessness, by making sure that the unemployment insurance system is used only for the purposes of paying unemployment insurance, and not for judging individuals according to potentially biased employers' opinions of their work performance, social stereotypes, or other reasons that have nothing to do with the need to find a job. Retraining people doesn't pay people money, but a paying job does. If one wants to retrain, one should apply for government grants and loans, not apply for unemployment insurance. Help petition to change this law so that its fair and equitable and give us all the rights to the money that we've paid into the system to use to look for work; when we need it the most.
