The President’s first post-election confrontation with the GOP – over the supposed fiscal cliff Republicans created – is about to unfold, and many of us fear that once again the President will lean over backwards to accommodate the party of denial and intransigence. Though a three-million vote majority re-elected President Obama, Democrats increased their Senate majority, and more people actually voted for Democratic Party candidates for the House of Representatives than for Republicans, there is a danger the President will compromise away what the majority voted for in order to avoid a fiscal crisis. This petition urges the President to defy Republican blackmail. We don't need a "grand deal" that's a "grand sell-out."

To put more money in the polititions hands, California State has imposed a new Fire Prevention Fee (NOT A TAX, THET SAY) upon habitable stuctures or parcels in what they call the responsibility areas. These fees (or really taxes) go up to $150.00 per year. I live in a 3 bedroom house and just paid $115.00 for this bogus tax. I am outraged. Jerry Brown approved this. I want to protest this effort to further strap the public for our government's failure to control their spending. I am calling upon our legislature to overturn this fee.

Eliminating the Ceiling on the Payroll Tax.

Applying for EDD is a large headache for many disabled citizens in California. I am one of them. You have to call the 800 number at least 60 times or more to get a customer service rep. Once you get them online. The are rushed to do their jobs to meet a quota it seems, so they give out flawed and untrue information to the caller. I have had several reps, tell me 25 statements about receiving the debit card. None were true. The landlord was trying to evict me from my apartment, I had to call the electrical company and beg them not to turn of my electricity. Friends had to loan me monies for food and gas so I could get to the doctors for treatment. I wrote the Governor, called the Governors office several times, they were nice enough to put me through to the Executive Office of EDD, I would leave a message, no one will call you back. I call the Governor's office again, they put me through to the executive EDD office and stayed on the line with me and made sure someone answered, they did and ask for my social security number and and my name and said that they would have someone call me back that day. No one never called me and it is weeks later. I had to fax a letter to the Governor's office with other documents to prove what I was complaining about. I filed for EDD in September and it is November, I still haven't received the debit card yet.

We are seeing the ineptitude of LIPA's management here on Long Island in the aftermath of Sandy. Bring a strong organization in to reduce our costs and better communicate with us. This should be the first step in rebuilding long Island's power grid. We ask the Governor to take bold action.
