We elected Scott Garrett to represent the interests of the people of New Jersey's 5th district in Washington. Instead he has signed an oath to Grover Norquist and moved directly in line with John Boehner and Mitch McConnell, devoting his energies to ineffectual, partisan politics, accomplishing nothing. It's time for Mr. Garrett to reaffirm his allegiance to his constituents by working toward creating jobs and lifting up New Jersey's struggling middle class. NOW.

We elected Leonard Lance to represent the interests of the people of New Jersey's 7th district in Washington. Instead he has signed an oath to Grover Norquist and moved directly in line with John Boehner and Mitch McConnell, devoting his energies to ineffectual, partisan politics, accomplishing nothing. It's time for Mr. Lance to reaffirm his allegiance to his constituents by working toward creating jobs and lifting up New Jersey's struggling middle class. NOW.

We the undersigned Citizens of the United States strongly urge you our US Congress to pass and SHEPHERD in to LAW of the land Senate Bill 1517 - This Act may be cited as the `21st Century WPA Act'. A BILL To provide for the creation of jobs. Sponsored by Senator Frank R. Lautenberg [D-NJ] (introduced 9/7/2011).

We're facing an economic crisis, and if Washington tries to solve it the wrong way, the result could be catastrophic for millions of Americans. The Joint Committee on Deficit Reduction - better known as the Super Committee - is meeting and making decisions right now that will profoundly affect the food we eat, the air we breathe, the water we drink and other environmental factors that keep us healthy or prevent illness. We need your help. EWG sent the committee members our recommendations, showing that they can address the budget AND make sure that we protect programs for children, the environment and our health, as well as ensure that there's a true safety net for farmers who need it. Will you tell the committee right away that you stand with EWG?

Enough is enough! We demand that Congress put aside partisan politics and pass a real American Jobs Act!

If the President and the Congress of the United States are unable to reduce unemployment to a level below 5% they should recieve a 10% wage reduction for every 1% over 5% of unemployed, and shall recieve no wage increase during that period unless approved by a vote of the American people.

This Petition is about helping the 99ers get back into the economy. Giving them an advantage to be hired. The time to train people on the job with little investment by the company. And the knowledge of knowing the investment the company will have.

A 2006 law requires the Postal Service to massively pre-fund the cost of future retiree health and pension benefits over the next 75 years in just 10 years time. This covers current employees, AND employees who have YET to be hired - and it is on top of the cost for benefits for current retirees. NO OTHER COMPANY OR AGENCY IN AMERICA IS REQUIRED TO PRE-FUND FUTURE RETIREE BENEFITS. Two audits have found a surplus of $50 to $75 billion in the portion of the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS), which covers these requirements. The solution has been introduced as H.R. 1351, which would allow the USPS access to its own money, funds that are in excess of what they will ever need to pay for pensions, and offer a responsible way of dealing with its financial crisis. All this, and not costing any TAXPAYER DOLLARS. H.R. 1351 currently has 193 co-sponsors from both political parties. A different bill has been presented by Rep. Darrel Issa, the so-called Postal Reform Act, H.R.2309, which calls for cutbacks, layoffs, NO Saturday delivery, and would basically KILL the Postal Service. H.R. 2309 has a co-sponsorship of ONE. This bill needs to be stopped before it ever reaches a vote.

This summer thousands of Americans joined together to launch a movement to rebuild the American Dream. Here in Arizona, we have our work cut out for us. We have a legislature with skewed priorities. The sympathies of all but a few of our members of Congress lay with corporations, the Tea Party and the very wealthy. Our Governor and Attorney General are working to cut funds for health care and education while scapegoating immigrants, ethnic studies students and unions for our budget woes. But thanks to folks like you, heroes of armchair activism, we can spread the word and take a stand by organizing in our communities, towns, and cities to fight back against assaults on workers rights and civil rights and to push for jobs, not cuts in every corner of our state. Together, we have the opportunity to win on local campaigns and plant the seeds for long-term progressive change. Sign this petition to join a network of local activists committed to sharing information and spreading the word about actions and efforts that will help us to Rebuild the American Dream in Arizona!

Help job seekers and their families get over job search hurdles and get back to work. Support the middle class who are falling through the cracks because they do not qualify for assistance even while collecting unemployment. Families and whole communities are grieving over the loss of so many jobs that it takes each community to step up and take care of those living in your community. As part of living in your community everyone should have a place to go that can help with job search assistance, career management solutions and support for everyone in the family during difficult times. Local job clubs can and do provide those services, often for free and with no funding. Community Job Clubs can be the front door to connect local talent with local businesses and local businesses with local talent. The One Stop fits all doesn't work. Let's work together to get people back to work.
