Commit to vote on April 3, 2012 for C. Anthony Muse. It is time for a change in Maryland politics. Politics are local and we need someone who is in touch with all of Maryland. We need a voice for the voiceless. There needs to representation for all communities.

Please ask Congress to help lower gasoline prices so that us regular people can afford to live. With gas so high everything else is going up except our salaries! How can we continue to afford to drive to work?

My daughter currently owes $150,000 because she went to architecture school. Her skills are immensely valuable to the nation - she should not have to bear the entire burden of paying for her specialized educationl. All the structures in this country have to be converted to green, self-sufficient energy in the coming decades if we are to survive the energy crisis and architects are, therefore, needed for national security for the US.

Bill to put a cap price on fuel in the US.

Representative Hansen Clarke of Michigan has just introduced H.R. 4170, the Student Loan Forgiveness Act of 2012, in the House of Representatives - legislation designed to ... basically act as a bailout for students with more debt than they can handle... sound familiar Wall Street? For a brief summary of H.R. 4170's main provisions, please copy & paste this URL into your browser: http://tinyurl.com/7akydbk I know that many students out there are happy to sign a petition that might give them some relief from their financial obligations, but who wouldn't? But Congress isn't just there to listen to its constituents who want a handout, it has a responsibility to consider the effects of its decisions on all constituents and their future. I myself have student loans, and I have worked in the student loan industry and seen the problem. But let's consider the REAL problem. Rising tution and rising unemployment. Why is this happening while there is also a TALENT CRISIS? That's right! Companies all over the country are searching the GLOBE for more skilled workers, meanwhile 9% of America is unemployed. Let's nip this in the bud. We need corporations, universities and government policy working together to promote job training in the sectors that NEED for employees. So, sign this petition to let congress know you don't want them to sign H.R. 4170, and that you want them to focus on policies that will bring down tuition and increase opportunities for job training and education in fields that are in demand. I'd rather see that money go to re-educate people and GARAUNTEE them a job. That will boost the economy far more than a hand-out for the 9% of the population fighting for jobs that don't exist. Let's get our corporations investing back in America too. Companies need to help educate America and fill their workforce too. Let's start encouraging this, instead of bailing out America for promising its children great jobs while America puts itself in more debt training for the wrong jobs. There might be 375,000 people who want their student loans forgiven, but I hope there are 375,000 people who want a better solution to our economy's struggles. The solution is out there, but it isn't H.R. 4170. DO NOT PASS H.R. 4170!

This petition is for a national plan to lower domestic energy consumption through strict conservation, increase fossil and nuclear production, and then export that energy for money. Using the taxes from those sales, we would pay down America's debt, bring affordable water and energy back to our people, and then have an ongoing export surpluses in energy for the next 50-100 years.

The Governor of the State of Washington has mandated a 3% salary reduction for classified employees effective July 1, 2012 in order to close the gap on the budget deficit in Washington state. The Governor is in a position to reverse her decision to implement these cuts in the upcoming budget. We are calling on her to stand up on behalf of Classified employees who are already underpaid and stop the 3% Salary Reduction. Please note that with the lack of classified employees not receiving the cost of living raise (COLA) for the past 4 years plus no salary wage increase along with reducing their salaries another 3%, if you combined those together this will give you a better picture as to what is happening to this underpaid and underrepresented group of employees.

There are hundreds of thousands of unfilled jobs in the United States due to a shortage of skilled workers.There are millions of unemployed older workers who want to learn these new career skills. This program would facilitate the rapid deployment of new career mentorships/apprenticeships without offering workers compensation for a short period of time. Under most of today's state and federal laws this is impossible.

It is time for Kentucky to embrace the factors that create a stronger, more flexible and global workforce. Those factors are education, entrepreneurship, and economic development. It is our responsibility to desire education, but the governments responsibility to provide it. Not only our schools, but also our colleges should be more job and skill focused. By creating an education system based on creating skilled students to meet those opportunities we will be ahead of the curve, by creating the curves. If the economic data supports an increase in railways in Kentucky, maybe it is time to offer advanced courses in railway engineering, etc. By involving ourselves in removing the curriculum that creates junk degrees and leaves disillusioned college graduates and high school graduates who don't compare with foreign countries we will be preparing ourselves for the future, and for right now. Entrepreneurship is difficult, but ultimately the number one creator of jobs. Our state already succeeds at having low government barriers to entry for entrepreneurs it was eight dollars to register your business and now I believe it is just sales tax and a 1% tax on profit(although since most profit is made at the margins this is more harmful than helpful). The next barrier is capital. We need to encourage local banks to issue more entrepreneurship loans, backed by collateral or to offer education on entrepreneurship and have the government create banking incentives for the banks that do offer these trainings. By increasing access to capital for Kentuckians we will be encouraging their successes and failures, both of which will teach people more about business and about life in general. Economic development, this one is huge. How to encourage more businesses to the area, tax breaks, cheap labor, beautiful scenery? I think having devoted staff giving tours, and showing the economic benefits at the same time would be an excellent way to advance business in the state. Also, launching a doing business in Kentucky magazine that could focus on specific trades and industries to be distributed free of charge to other trade magazines as an advertising bundle with their latest issue could be another step. Ultimately, the ideas are out there and it is in the government's best interest to advance industry in the state and to start looking for small international competitors to increase FDI, raise unemployment, and to globalize the Kentucky workforce. Everyone who has signed this petition agrees, it is time for Kentucky to spread our Commonwealth(our intelligence, hard work, and loyalty) to the rest of the world, and reap the benefits.

To make the people that are millionairs pay the same taxes i pay. To make everyone in congress buy and pay for their own Health Care and Life insurance.

Q. How do speculators drive up oil prices? A. Speculators are able to drive up crude oil prices today because they're allowed to trade in the U.S. in futures markets not overseen by U.S. regulators.
