Its time the rich stop being overly greedy and pay their fair share of taxes in America!!

The arts are a vital part of our society, and economy. Congress should stop slashing arts funding, and sustain or increase crucial funding for the NEA. Most NEA spending gets matched by state and private donations at the local level - therefore federal cuts have a dramatic impact on programs. Artists are on the front lines of creating new products, services and--jobs!

This petition is to end the misuse of credit reports as barriers to getting people back to work. You may recall 60% of employers are now using credit reports in hiring even though there is no evidence that they predict the quality of an employee and hundreds of thousands of Coloradans have had their credit impacted, due to no fault of their own, by the recent recession. Furthermore, there are major errors in the credit reports of over 20 million Americans. It's time to remove this unnecessary barrier to getting people back to work. The bill passed the Colorado Senate on a vote of 20 - 15 but the bill faces significant challenges in the House. It is scheduled for hearing in the Colorado House Monday March 19, 2012 at 1:30 PM. It is the 2nd bill up. Please testify in support of SB 3 to help us end this practice that creates a vicious cycle of unemployment. You can also help by writing letters to the editor or calling and writing the members of Local Government and asking for their "yes" vote:

Governor Branstad overstepped his boundaries and removed all of the smaller unemployment offices within our state and the decision was overturned by the Supreme Court. Per the Facebook page of Iowa Senate Republicans page: The total number of working Iowans increased to 1,576,300 in January from 1,573,300 in December, and from 1,567,500 one year ago. Employment in this state has been gradually increasing since August 2011. Please sign this petition if you think Congress is making employment statistics look good on paper only and not addressing the true issue which is decent good paying jobs for all with good benefits. We need the unemployment offices re-instated to all of the small counties to truly assist the unemployed seek decent jobs with good wages and benefits.

Getting to the bottom of the so called "Economic Crisis"... who can we trust to tell the truth that is in power---what is the TRUTH??? No candy-coating...no rhetoric...round it off to the facts...NOW!!!

Sign this petition to invite President Barack Obama to speak at Fresno State University on April 22, 2012 about "The Economy, Rising Cost of Tuition and Jobs"

The living wage in the Twin cities metro was set at 10/hr in the mid 1990's. today almost 20 years later with a housing boom of over 400% and gas prices increase of 0ver 400% and the food costs and fun costs increase of over 400% we need to increase the living wage for asmall companies to 15/hr and large such as General mills, best buy, 3M, wells fargo, Mcdonalds, Burgerking, etc. to 20/hr. These low wage employees dont get health benefits or retirment incomes as of today so we eithetr need to be those benefits back in or pay hire wages. The chinese companies are buying america due to lack of income coming in, due to lack of pay out to middle america and low america. We need to increase wages for middle and low america to save the country.

Fairness finally for middle America. Women's rights, Headstart, Jobs. Think of other than the wealthy for a change.

Help ensure that the City of Batavia Government exercises rationality in its action on Plan 14 by approving the reasonable variances that will allow Walgreens to remain in downtown Batavia.

Banks will agree to a short pay or short sale transaction on a home and accept, in some cases, $300,000 less than the current mortgage value. Why not make this same offer to the homeowner by reducing the principle and allow them to stay in their homes? This would put an immediate halt to the 1,000's of foreclosures in our nation and give our economy a chance to heal.

Both state and federal legislatures throughout the country are looking to increase taxes on the middle class and lower them on the wealthy and large corporations. Meanwhile nothing is being done to lower gas prices or raise minimum wages or get rid of other hurdles to middle class income such as pay caps.

The banksters have stolen the equity from our homes, and then asked us to pay for it with cuts in services! It's time to clip their wings and get rid of Too Big To Exist! Bring back Roosevelt's Glass-Steagall Now! (Glass-SteagallNow.com for more info).
