Last week, Rep. Allen West voted for the Republican Ryan Budget. This disastrous federal budget privatizes Medicare, cuts Medicaid, and reduces funding for Pell Grants and SNAP. Both of these programs help kids from working-class backgrounds.

Too many big corporations outsource their jobs and bring their product back for us to buy. Let companies like P&G, GE, Walmart and Apple know that we only want products and services that support American jobs!

Top ceo pay must be tied to how good they are at creating full-time jobs and supplying health care and be in line with what all other employees get paid. Ceo's can only make 50 times what their lowest paid full-time employee makes. Companies can only have 20% non-full time employees. This will create jobs by making ceo's earn they pay in ways that matter to our nation.

Its about the city trying to get a toll road between 152, highway 5 etc. Then on top of that charge the people a transportation tax. Plus we already pay taxes for road repairs etc. This is triple the taxes etc for citizens. There is unemployment, people losing their homes and the gas prices are sky high. How is this suppose to help the citizens of Los Banos and surrounding areas.

because it supports all our services, why stop it, and some of us who are retired could not afford the additional realesate taxes it would put on us

There are those of us who feel it is time to move forward. Time for a change in the way we think and take care of our state.

He is not concerned with the company or its employees. He believes, less service, lowing our ontime status on mail. Will help the Post Office to build the business. He sides with Congressman Issa, who is the richest man on the hill. He believes decreasing service and not allowing the employees to have protection from nanagement is the way to go. The P/m wants to close many offices and plants. This will cause empolyees to move in some cases out of the state. There at least 6 jobs for every postal job in the civilian market. The city of Lexington could loose revenue of over 30 million dollars a year due to the closing of the plant according to some studies. The city of Cincy city leaders have saved their plant from closing. Why did Lexington fight? Huh mayor?

The petition is to have the government that we voted help us in Connecticut reduce these taxes and help the people that voted them in. Education should be the number one thing in their mind, reducing the taxes, and helping the people move forward.

Governor "Bobby" Jindal has a long history of draconian, heartless cuts to funding to education & social services as DHH Sectetary & now as Governor, while dogmatically rejecting means of increasing revenue for the state budget, e.g. increase in cigarette tax, as well as rejecting federal funds for unemployment compensation. He is an embarrassment to the thinking people of the state of Louisiana. Demand rational fiscal responsibility and and an end to politically motivated, self-serving budget cuts to much needed services & the subsequent lay off of social services staff & educators.

Additional tax cuts for the rich are being proposed at the same time increases in college tuition, taxes, and other burdens are being proposed for those who can least afford them - the poor and middle class. Please help me remind our government that they exist for all the people, and not just the rich who finance their campaigns.

Many working class families in NYC as well as NYS are employed in jobs that only pay minimum wage. Some of these families are headed by single women with dependent children. For many such families this one paycheck must be stretch a number of ways to cover just the basic needs ie housing, food and clothing. Due to the current state of the economy, many social programs have cut in the state and federal budgets.

Throughout its history, North Omaha has launched the dreams of many people. Yet, the instances of dreams launched and fulfilled have been too infrequent for too many people. For much of its history, North Omaha has suffered from disinvestment and a scarcity of hope. Racism, despair and distrust have turned dreams to nightmares at different times in the community’s history. As a result, North Omaha’s unemployment rate is substantially higher than that of the rest of the city. Over 1 in 4 AfricanAmerican members of the workforceare unemployed.
