My co-workers and I, who work at the Fund for the Public Interest in Portland, voted to unionize 11 months ago, but we are still without a first contract. Leadership at the Fund—a nonprofit that has supported great organizations like Environment Oregon and the Oregon State Public Interest Research Group with fundraising and member outreach—has utilized stalling techniques in negotiations and even fired some fellow workers who have been involved in negotiation talks.[1] Tell the Fund's National Telephone Outreach Project Director Pat Wood to negotiate in good faith with workers to settle a fair first contract.

The people of Brighton, Hartland, Howell, MI, and surrounding areas, ask Trader Joe's to consider opening up a Trader Joe's in our area. Many of us have to drive 40+ mins to the nearest Trader Joe's and would benefit massively from a healthy and affordable neighborhood grocery store. There is no other store like Trader Joe's in this area!

scrap the caps on Social Security's "contribution and benefit base," also known as the "maximum taxable wage base." Social Security limits the amount of earnings subject to taxation through FICA contribution". that way everyone earning income in the U.S.A. pays into Social Security from January 1 thorugh December 31. This will not only create a positive infusion of revenue into Social Security, eliminate any need to reduce benefits, or age, to receive benefits but will also create jobs in that more people will be willing to retire knowing that Social Security is safe

President Obama, you will have my vote IF you will promise to reinstate the Fairness Doctrine in January 2013.

Heather Wilson is a right-wing idealogue who supported the G W Bush agenda absolutely. She will not be good for New Mexico as our Senator.

My daughter and I cannot eat gluten. My daughter is in her fifth year of Girl Scouting. She has never tasted a Girl Scout cookie, because all varieties of Girl Scout cookies contain gluten, so, if she even tasted one, it would make her ill. Recently our local Girl Scout council considered making gluten-free Girl Scout cookies available. My daughter and I were very excited!!! But then they decided not to offer them after all. This petition is to ask them to reconsider. I hope this petition will help the Girl Scout organization to realize that there are a lot of people who would eagerly buy gluten-free Girl Scout cookies.

I received food stamps and medicaid for my children while working and completing my education. I paid payroll taxes then, and now that I'm enjoying my profession, income taxes as well. I'm calling on Del. Richard Snuffer and all West Virginia legislators to stand with the 47% by condemning Governor Romney's crass remarks.

I am offended by the recent expose on Mitt Romney's opinion of me. Part of Mitt's '47 percent', I am a retired civil servant who has just applied for social security.

For months Congressman Darrell Issa, Chairman of the House Oversight Committee conducted what amounted to a partisan witch hunt for Attorney General Eric Holder over the Fast and Furious debacle and even hinted that President Obama was involved. The U.S. Department of Justice just exonerated Holder. Tell Darrell Issa that he owes Holder and Obama an apology and should take personal responsibility for the wasted tax payer money that went into this by either paying it back or resigning or both.

Mitt Romney was talking about me and you! I'm probably part of his 47% who need the government to protect me against health insurance companies by creating insurance for all Americans. A government that takes care of a mother in Massachusetts, who without MassHealth (Medicare and Medicaid) would not be surviving her dementia. You know that was a Romney initiative that provides the best healthcare system in American and the ACA was modeled after......go figure. Or maybe the 47% are really mostly Mitt's donors who don't pay taxes either. Think about it and knock on the door of Bob Dold and every other Republican, Democrat and Tea Party representative who stand behind Romney. Ask them if they are part of the 47% or they were elected into the Congress by the 47% and thensome? Ask them to remember that Mitt Romney was born with a silver spoon and proud of it. Ask them if they are bold enough to stand up for one American and end the politics of money instead of the politics of the people.

Despite having an opponent, Jeff Kazanow, in the November 6 general election, Rep. Tom Price refuses to remain accountable to his constituents and participate in even a single debate. We believe, in the interest of democracy and transparency, that Rep. Price should agree to debates with Jeff Kazanow.

Mitt Romney accuses a portion of the population of certain negative characteristics. He refuses to release his taxes, is it because he doesn't pay any either?
