AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson made a promise to invest in his workforce and create at least 7,000 jobs if the tax bill passed. Well, the bill did pass, and AT&T received a $20 billion windfall. But instead of creating jobs, AT&T has laid off over a thousand workers across the country in the past few months. And the company keeps sending work to low-wage and overseas contractors, devastating families and communities across America. AT&T workers are fighting back. CWA members at AT&T Midwest and AT&T’s national Legacy T division are fighting for fair union contracts and have voted to strike if necessary to secure a deal that guarantees good jobs, affordable healthcare, and a secure retirement.

This petition is to show the Dean of the College of Communication and Fine Arts how many students and individuals Jeanne has positively helped, influenced and educated --to show her how many individuals can attest that she should be approved for tenure.

The University of Vermont Medical Center has refused to bargain in good faith and has used intimidation tactics targeted at these nurses, who are bargaining for the resources they need to provide high-quality care to their community. The UVM Medical Center is the largest hospital in Vermont, which ranks 47th among the states in nurse pay levels. Because of this, the hospital is consistently understaffed—at this point, there are as many as 172 vacancies. Wages and staffing levels have become the focus of bargaining because our union members understand that more resources are essential for the medical center to be able to recruit and retain nurses. It is just plain wrong for the medical center to spend its growing revenues on satellite campuses and million-dollar executive salaries while leaving staffing and wages for the nurses who care for the people of Burlington at subpar levels. We need to send a message to those in charge and let them know that patient care—and those who provide it—should never take a back seat. The UVM Medical Center has expanded its operations, and its revenue continues to grow. The hospital is doing well because of its staff. It’s time for the hospital’s executives to demonstrate that they care for the people who provide the patient care that Burlington relies on.

Our property tax is going up every year, which makes our mortgages go up every year. Property tax is getting out of control. Politicians with the elected offices must find a new mechanism in solving this problem. Home owners can no longer afford this yearly increases in property tax anymore.

The high property taxes are not sustainable for Hunt County residents, with the inflated property appraisals and the tax rates not being reduced. It forces some Hunt County residents right out of their homes.

Having to drive ten minutes to get to TJ's is a first world problem, I get that. But Long Beach promotes itself as bicycle friendly, and a TJ's downtown would be within an easy bicycle commute of more than enough of us to support the store. If you agree, sign the petition. And if you shop at the TJ's on Bellflower and are tired of not finding things there because they are sold out, help take some pressure off your local TJ's by signing the petition.

The United States is the only country besides Eritrea that unjustifiably imposes two tax systems on its citizens abroad. This taxation hurts the US economy by making US citizens noncompetitive, increases cost of IRS collection, hurts our exports, and causes discrimination of Americans overseas.
