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.

Working families across New York State need the security of paid time off to care for a new child or seriously ill family member. For too many workers, the birth of a child or family health emergency creates a crisis that forces them to lose needed income or exit the workforce altogether. Low-income workers and their families are especially vulnerable because they often lack the financial resources to take any unpaid time off at all. Paid family leave improves the health of our families. It helps workers, especially new mothers, stay in the workforce after childbirth and helps close the wage gap. And businesses benefit by having more productive workers and reduced turnover. The federal Family and Medical Leave Act is unpaid and excludes more than 40% of all workers. The Paid Family Leave Insurance Act for New York State would provide workers with partial payment of their salary for up to 12 weeks to bond with a new child, care for a seriously ill family member, or address certain issues arising from a family member’s military service. Employers would not bear the cost of this benefit. Instead, paid family leave insurance benefits would be funded by employees through small paycheck contributions. Working families in New York deserve better. It’s time for Governor Cuomo to follow in California’s, New Jersey’s, and Rhode Island's footsteps and make paid family leave a priority now!
