Eliminate outrageous payments to New Jersey public employees for unused sick, vacation and personal days when they retire. Benefits already accrued would not be affected.

This petition is in regards to balancing state budgets

There are over 3000+ counties in the USA. We want just one small county in the agricultural heartland to be designated ORGANIC ONLY.

There is presently a shortage of Barbers coming into the proffession. With only one school in the State it is impractical for most to attend from far distances. I believe the program has been legislated in a previous years legislative session and needs only to have the curriculum approved and the program implemented. This directly affects me because I have a barbershop in Glenville and cannot find help with my client base.

The Planning Board is moving forward with the 'Master Plan' for the Bus Rapid Transit. The staff draft was released last week on March 11th, along with appendices and the staff memo. The Planning Board meeting is tomorrow evening at 6 pm, giving citizens less than one week to read all the documents, many of which are quite technical. The staff documents are here: http://www.montgomeryplanningboard.org/agenda/2013/documents/20130318_CountywideTransitCorridorsFunctionalMP_Attachment_000.pdf

I'm concerned that DisableVeterans causes will be cut and protections in the work place won't be enforced.

Our goal is to save the U.S. Postal Service from drastic cuts in service. We want the postal service to cease closing mail processing plants. We want the postal service to continue 6 day delivery and we want the postal service to stop closing post offices and cutting retail operating hours. Our goal is to see the dramatic pre payments into retirement accounts to stop and be returned to the postal service. We are proud of our postal network in Iowa and want to keep it the way it is.

College students graduating by the hundreds and no jobs, or jobs paying below what their degrees dictate. So they are faced with either having no job or taking what they can get in order to live, but still not enough to pay for cost of living and tuition payments. I am being affected by this right now. My daughter has college debt that I don't know how we will pay it. I have been laid-off for 4/5 years now. I am not able to help her. I understand may other college students are in the same predicament. I understand it has been referred to as another Mortgage Crisis (yet is is College Debt Crisis)

On Sunday, March 17, 2013, CNN broke the news that the Trent Mays and Ma’lik Richmond had been found guilty of the rape of a 16 year old unconscious girl. Rather than celebrating the fact that justice had been served, CNN then spent the next six minutes lamenting the fact that these boys' lives were ruined. CNN was perpetuating our society's rape culture by sympathizing with rapists rather than the victim. See the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=MvUdyNko8LQ#!

Any attempt to legislate drug testing for MI residents receiving state aid also include, The entire Michigan House, The entire Michigan Senate, and The Governor of Michigan.

There are 300,000 drivers in the state of Washington ( pop. 6,724,540) whose drivers license is suspended, mostly in the 3rd degree, because they cannot afford to pay fines and court fees for tickets they received because the legislature has raised fines, thus turning the DOL and law enforcement into a source of increased revenue, instead of being just a licensing and regulatory agency as it was designed to be. If you cannot pay these fees within a short time they are turned over to a collection agency, where more fees and interest is added. If you cannot afford to pay the agency, your license is then suspended in the 3rd degree. If you are caught driving again, more fines, fees and interest are added to your penalty and the ability to recover is put even further out of reach. All of this can result in a criminal record and a negative credit rating while quickly adding up to thousands of dollars, which can affect your employability and access to credit. In the current state of the economy it is time for the state to come up with a workable alternative to this problem by implementing reasonable payment plans and/or community service in order for people to retain their driving privilages, while looking for employment or any of the many other reasons people need their licenses in day to day life. The state needs to implement a system where people have the ability to reasonably pay these penalties while retaining their right to legally drive in their in their day to day activities. This would also enable the state to save tax money by reducing repeated court appearances and possible incarceration costs.

Our sister, Toree Walker, continues to be treated as an outcast because Erie Community College would rather play collegiate politics at her expense. It's okay for our children to play ball for Erie but Erie won't play fair ball with them. Toree has been suspended by the school, disgraced by the news media, and it's time to tell Erie Community College to stop with the politics and invest in protecting their own students.
