We The "People", need to KNOW that the president is NOT.... indebted to "ANY" foreign or domestic interests!!!

This is a petition to support Macy's cosmeticians in Saugus, MA who are fighting together to get their first union contract.

It's not enough to fund fixes for these issues if there's no one trained to fix them. Providing funding for appropriate training will also ultimately boost the economy by giving more career opportunities to those who need it most.

I worked all my life and contributed to Social Security! What gives Congress the right to cut my benefits?

If you care about the environment and in what condition you leave the environment for your children and grandchildren in Wisconsin and you care about the financial stability of Wisconsin and how you leave it for your children and grandchildren, sign the petition, call your legislators...your calls and signatures matter!

The US ranks last on the list for paid leave. In this country, and especially in the great State of Oregon, short term disability is the right thing to do as a first step towards valuing our citizens and join four other states in providing this safety net. Not only pregnant women will benefit, but those in drug and alcohol rehabilitation and disabled people awaiting their government claims. The State of California requires all employees to pay into its short-term disability insurance (SDI) program through payroll deductions. When employees become unable to work due to disability, they can collect weekly benefits from the program until they are either ready to go back to work or the benefits expire. We can do the same in Oregon! Why? I was demoted during my pregnancy after my employer removed their short term disability option. Then, they went after my unemployment. No pregnant woman should have to go through that again. You can help make sure of it! Only 50 signatures are required to gain legal assistance drafting a prospective initiative text for the 2018 ballot. By signing you are requesting this make it to your voting booths. We request assistance drafting the text of this proposed initiative!

I just found out about impending funding cuts to the USDA in October. This will negatively impact the opportunity for home ownership in America. It will also impact farmers and rural communities. We need to protect our rights to strong rural communities and home ownership.

On Monday, I was told by the prestigious all-girls preparatory Ellis School where I work, that I was losing my job and would be replaced with someone making $4 less an hour. As a mother of three, I believe in the school’s mission to “prepare, empower, and inspire each and every girl through an excellent education in an all-girls environment” and I take pride in cleaning for the children and teachers, and maintaining the bathrooms, hallways, auditorium, and other facilities. To make matters worse, I lost my good union job on July 31: Black Women’s Equal Pay Day. Ironically, the Ellis School prides itself on diversity but made the decision to cut their all African American cleaning crew so they can save money. Instead of continuing to work with a contractor that provides me and my co-workers with a union contract that provides living wages and benefits, the Ellis School decided to contract out our jobs to General Cleaning, which pays workers poverty wages of $8.68 an hour. I want to continue to provide the best learning environment possible for our next generation of women leaders—but I have to be able to provide for my family too. The Ellis School Values claim to “seek intellectual, emotional, and physical health for every member of our community.” We are asking the Ellis School to live up its values and look after me and my coworkers so we can continue to provide for our girls and families too.

Simple fairness and transparency is the issue. Since Trump has so clearly placed his own financial interest ahead of the country's well-being, we must make sure that he doesn't manipulate the tax code for his personal advantage.

This country is looking worse than a 3rd world country. It used to be a beautiful country to drive through. Now the roads look like those in the poorest of countries. This is one of the riches countries in the world. But, we are letting our country look like we are treating her, like a bedraggled, unloved streetwalker. Let's be proud again. Let's start by doing the right thing by our country and fixing her up. Maybe then we will be proud enough in her to fix up the mess her government is in.

This is about repealing Right To Work nationally and replacing it with a bill that would allow Labor Unions to collect union dues from all union represented employees in all 50 states. In Right To Work states like Florida I have personally seen the negative effects of Right To Work such as low wages, no benefits and poor working conditions. Right to work means workers have no rights. Right To Work is WRONG.

Our state currently faces a $1B shortfall in our transportation budget. The current mood seems to favor toll roads, but we would argue that legalizing marijuana, and taxing it appropriately, would provide far more income to the state among the numerous other benefits that legalization would bring. One only needs to look to legal states that are benefiting from the novelty tourism, the reduction in opiate use and related deaths, the reduction in drug related crimes and the massive influx of money and jobs associated with this new industry. If we do it now, we can ride the wave of novelty and beat states like Illinois and Minnesota to the punch. If we are too late, we will lose out on BILLIONS of dollars, if not more.
