We deserve to know the truth about the atrocities committed in our country's name.

The Paycheck Fairness Act, introduced last year, would make it easier for women to sue for sex discrimination in wages, and prohibit employer retaliation against workers for discussing how much they make. This would go a very long way in closing the wage gap that has persisted between men and women for decades. Currently in North Carolina, women who are employed full time lose a combined total of approximately $9,801,729,458 every year due to the wage gap. Families, businesses and the economy suffer as a result. These lost wages mean families have less money to spend on goods and services that help drive economic growth. We must do more to help equalize the pay between men and women in the workplace, and this is a great place to start. Call on Senator Richard Burr and Senator Kay Hagan to vote in support of the Paycheck Fairness Act and help all North Carolina families get ahead.

The reason why we are staring this petition is because many post office box holders are not receiving their mail on time, as well other important packages, we have had various people in town lose everyday utilities, cut off (ex. electricity, water, cell phones, etc..) we need to stop this. We hope service gets better and improves in many ways, either by reprimand or an official USPS change for a new worker to service this area.

The proposed student housing project would displace 200 people living in the Arrowhead trailer park. Without the low income housing to absorb newly displaced people, their lives will be completely pulled up from under them. If rezoning is approved, the large developer wants to negotiate one-by-one with the homeowners, leaving these families in a position to be taken advantage of. This type of behavior is unacceptable in the community of Flagstaff, and we need to stand up for the most vulnerable people of our community.

Raise the NY minimum wage! It's currently $8.00 /hr, and no one can live on that! It should be raised to $12/hr! The line between rich and poor is getting bigger. Lets help by signing this message to our officials.

I have been personally affected by the current child support system in a negative manner. The current law is outdated, unfair, and in many instances, unconstitutional. Reform is needed so that the modern family and our diverse situations can be correctly addressed. This will ensure that proper guidelines are being mandated and followed. No child deserves to be subjected to witnessing their parent fall victim to the child support system.

We have showed you numbers, and a lot of data. Yvonne, has the exact same data we share.with you online. When she can't see the numbers and the number of voters don't match. It's time for her to go.

Nobody wants to think that human trafficking exists in their neighborhood, yet it does and it is increasing due to a rising demand and the use of online venues. The proposed legislation will work to provide assistance for victims, increase penalties for perpetrators and enhance inter agency collaboration between law enforcement and several types of social service programs. Overall, this Act is crucial in the crusade to combat the source of trafficking, increase awareness and protect the present and potential victims. We strongly recommend passage of this legislation.

When the 1 percent of the 1 percent have more of a voice than millions of Americans, we're no longer operating in a democracy.

Illinois faces enough fiscal challenges without profitable companies abusing the tax code to the tune of $108 million. Montana and Oregon have already passed laws to recoup money stashed in offshore tax havens like the Cayman Islands. If we enacted the same policy here in Illinois, it would generate $108 million per year. That money could hire 3,000 new teachers or simply reduce the pressure to raise taxes. Illinois legislators need to hear that you support closing this offshore tax haven loophole.

Such democracy-destroying rulings as "Citizens United" and "McCutcheon v. Federal Election Commission" have made it abundantly clear that those who consistently put the money of a few above the will of the many must be replaced before they can render even greater harm to the majority of Americans and the very principles they've courageously fought and died for during the past 238 years.
