PSU administrators have spent more than half a million dollars (student tuition monies) trying to stop the university's graduates employees from voting and forming a union. These hard working employees deserve to earn a living wage and to have a voice in their careers.

I, like many other 15-17 years olds have a part time job. My job does not pay us minimum wage. Having enough money to be able to put some away and to save out for other activities should be available to anyone that has a job, part time or full time.

I'm an avid cryptocurrency enthusiast and investor in the AriseBank project. I came to know Jared Rice, Sr. in 2016 while hiring him for a personal business project. My first impression of Jared was that he was complicated, misunderstood, and brilliant! There was no doubt in my mind that Jared would be the next Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, or the Bill Gates of the world. I was there when the vision of AriseBank came to fruition. The first cryptocurrency bank that would give people all across the world the ability to take control of their money. Was it a big idea? - YES! Were the big banks of the world going to try to stop him? – YES! And here we are today. A few months after the launch of the AriseBank ICO (Initial Coin Offering), several team members were raided by the Feds, had their assets seized, and the ICO contributions confiscated. As said perfectly in a recent article on Steemit by gank, “AriseBank is a direct threat to a system that has been built to manage our wealth for profit and of course, there are going to be enemies of the project with deep pockets and influence. A scam implies premeditated intent to defraud, and my belief that AriseBank's intentions are the exact opposite of that. They want to create an environment where our money is protected from the fraud that is happening every day.” Here are the 9 biggest bank settlements agreed to by banks for defrauding investors. These are the true fraudsters that AriseBank is trying to free us from. JPMorgan Chase $5.29 billion Credit Suisse $5.3 billion Wells Fargo $5.35 billion Deutsche Bank $7.2 billion Bank of America $8.5 billion BNP Paribas $8.9 billion Bank of America $11.8 billion JP Morgan Chase $13 billion Bank of America $16.65 billion (credit: http://www.businessinsider.com/the-biggest-bank-settlements-of-all-time-2017-4/#8-credit-suisse-53-billion-2) “Of course this idea AriseBank brought forth is a huge swing for the fences, and risky for all those involved because it goes against the grain of the status quo.” In the Medium article, by Crypto Kong, you will see that many of the SECs false accusations can be proven false. https://medium.com/@CryptoKong123/arisebank-scam-or-not-a-scam-you-decide-accusations-answered-with-facts-and-documentation-dd166d81c03c There has also been a lot of talk about Jared Rice, Sr.’s flawed past. Well, I believe that a person’s past does not define their future successes. Some of the greatest leaders in the world had to endure many failures before they found success. The argument that because Jared has had legal issues or relationship (divorce, child custody) issues in the past – should prevent him from creating one the greatest projects in history is laughable. Donald Trump’s background is riddled with financial and relationship failures and look at where that landed him! Leader of the free world! (just saying….) Jared has now been left unable to support his family and children. His bank accounts frozen along with the rest of his assets (personal and business). The government wants to silence Jared by throwing him in jail leaving this kids and family without any support. Jared is now fearful for his life. Should something happen to Jared in jail over this nonsense - we will know who to blame. Not one AriseBank contributor contacted the SEC with a complaint. The SEC was motivated thru online misinformation created by competitors of AriseBank and an ex-wife who has been fighting Jared for custody of their son for years now. AriseBank contributors and supporters want this nonsense to end now! Don’t let the government tell every young entrepreneur who wants to build something in the cryptocurrency and blockchain space that Innovation = Jailtime. Join the AriseArmy and tell the US government and our local legislatures that WE WANT OUR BANK BACK!

Corporate welfare for billionaire NFL team owners is a terrible investment of public dollars. But whenever football teams want to build a new stadium, governments end up in a race-to-the-bottom bidding war. That's why I've introduced a bill to create a treaty between Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia to have all three governments agree not to pay for Dan Snyder's new stadium. The bill has been introduced in MD, DC and Virginia and has bipartisan support.

Because I have not seen prominent women's groups or labor unions taking an active role in opposing this ruling.

Because I am fed up, & I am not going to stand ideally by while my friends are near death, due to stress. I Bid You Peace, Louis Aaron, [email protected]

I am starting this petition because we need to quit cutting CHIP, Medicare, Medicaid, ACA, and all the other things that benefit the poor, elderly, children, and disabled. The rich don't need cuts. The businesses don't make new jobs. The poor just live on the street, get hungry, and die. The rich don't need a second home and a new car. Those less fortunate need basics.

Since 1994, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) has filled the pockets of fossil fuel executives and Wall Street CEOs at the expense of working people and the environment in the US, Canada, and Mexico. From helping corporations undermine democratic rule and union power through secretive Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) tribunals to exacerbating pollution and displacing immigrants, this rigged deal has harmed middle class and low-income families, people of color, and nearly everyone who is not a big corporation. Now the Trump Administration is renegotiating NAFTA, but the talks are taking place behind closed doors, with the public shut out and corporate polluters invited in. We cannot sit silently while Trump invites billionaires to tweak NAFTA. We must fight to #ReplaceNAFTA with an agreement that puts people and planet first, not corporations. While job-outsourcing corporations ask for even more handouts in NAFTA 2.0, Congress must push for a NAFTA replacement that supports good union jobs, climate justice, and healthy and thriving communities. While Trump tries to use his NAFTA agenda to build a racist border wall, Congress must call for a replacement deal that raises wages and environmental standards for workers, immigrants, and communities across North America. Rather than pitting communities against each other, we center racial, economic, and environmental justice in our fight for a new approach to trade.

Workers' compensation is not protecting its workers. Based on the changes of 2007, if you were hurt prior to 2007, your compensation is based on wages the year you were injured, not your current wage. I had to go out on workers compensation in 2015 for surgery from a 2002 injury and was paid 18.75% of current wages. In 2002, I had 0 children, in 2015 I had 3. My property and school taxes weren't reduced to 18.75 %. When welfare pays more than WC, the system is terribly broken and doesn't protect the worker at all. This was my second cervical fusion and it has failed, I have been asked if I want another surgery and I keep pushing it off. Am I going to have to set up a GO FUND ME page, since NYS laws sold me out as a worker? I had rainy day money saved, I survived. Would you? I will not again. NY has been proposing changes to the system in 2017 - 2018 and it will only make it even worse.

We want to start out stating this is not a petition to attack religious beliefs. It is a petition to remove the tax exempt status that ALL religious organizations have. Religious organizations should be entitled to tax write-offs like all other businesses but should not continue to receive a Non-Profit operating status. The taxes collected from the church can go into helping our communities infrastructure, public schools/education, health care and public assistance programs to help stimulate the economy.

I am a School Bus Driver and I truly believe that when we get snow days that we should at least still get paid for half a day as for we are not the reason that there is no school we can not control the climate
