Unlike BOA, for example, the sole purpose of creating a state bank operated by civil servants would be to benefit the citizens of California,

This is not a job creating act, it will repeal major portions of laws designed to stop corruption. It will almost completely demolish Dodd-Frank. Urge President Obama to not sign this law.

Being a concerned senior citizen (age 90), I am keenly aware of the agenda Gov. Christie has in mind that will infringe on my well being: ie., the issuing of school vouchers; negative health-care adjustments; the curtailing of funding for teachers and librarians that will result in job loss and will certainly affect the future of my grandchildren and great-gramdchildren!

I call on Governor Snyder and the Michigan legislature to invest in a jobs program in this state. Michigan continues to have high unemployment. This situation has been tolerated for far too long. Instead of giving tax breaks to people who don't need it. Let's use that money to put more Michigan residents back to work rebuilding our infrastructure, alternative energy projects, etc.

With Veteran unemployment extremely high, this "GI bill" educated populace is running into roadblocks. The Federal Government is cutting budgets/jobs and highly technical jobs require an active Security Clearance in the private sector. My petition is to have injured veterans reinstated to previous clearance or waive the clearance costs of the employer to get Veterans hired.

In Arizona, unemployment insurance as we know it is on the chopping block. Tens of thousands of Arizonans are currently unemployed. They are our friends, neighbors and family members who are struggling to find work. But instead of helping create good jobs, extreme legislators in Phoenix have proposed a slew of destructive bills this year—blaming jobless workers and their families for an economic downturn they didn’t create. Mean spirited politicians are pushing three bills, SB 1495 and HB 2150 and 2519, that are a one-two-three punch to the stomach of unemployed workers and their families. These bills would require unemployed workers to pass drug tests to get their unemployment insurance, increase the wage requirements by 100% for Arizonans to be eligible to receive insurance benefits and make it easier for employers to claim a worker is an independent contractor and, therefore, not eligible for unemployment insurance. It's time for Arizona lawmakers to stop these attacks and focus on real policies that create good jobs for Arizonans.

Many hardworking, tax-paying, citizens are burdened with payments to both the state and federal government by the personal income tax. These taxes amount to trillions of dollars and drain much needed cash from the U.S. private economy. Much of the money raised by the personal income tax is subject to corruption and influence by moneyed lobbyists - the funds don't much benefit those of us who pay it. Sign this petition to demand congress forgive the 2011 tax liabities and give the money back to the people!

Regional transportation in Michigan has been an long standing issue. In the twenty-first century, a metropolitan area like southeastern Michigan cannot survive without it. We have talked about, haggled and wished on a star for more than twenty years about this subject to no avail.

Boon-Ja-Ba says bring entrepreneurship and manufacturing to inner cities under the ownership and control of Black Americans and we will create our own jobs and a collecative financial base.

My name is Cienna Powers and I am 9 years old. I go to school at Mary E. Silviera. My petition is about saving the ocean creatures especially sharks and whales. I thought about writing this petition after writing and drawing a poster with my friends in school. I was riding home with my dad and in the car I was thinking about harmed species and their effect on the planet. My main complaint was was about the sharks and whales, and what are the reasons they use them for. For example, whales are used for their blubber for vane women that have to look younger. Why can't they use something else like coconut milk that makes a fine oil for skin and beauty. Why kill the whales. How would you feel if you got harpooned and your skin got scraped off just for your fat. I would feel violated and I think you would too. Also people kill the sharks for their fins to put in soup and just throw the rest back to sea as food for other fish.

But for those making more than $1 million — there were 236,883 such households in 2009 — I would raise rates immediately on taxable income in excess of $1 million, including, of course, dividends and capital gains. And for those who make $10 million or more — there were 8,274 in 2009 — I would suggest an additional increase in rate. My friends and I have been coddled long enough by a billionaire-friendly Congress. It’s time for our government to get serious about shared sacrifice
