Ronald Reagan plugged many loopholes in the Personal Income Tax Code as part of a deal to reduce the tax rate. 30 years later the tax rate is still low but the loopholes have crept back in one at a time under the radar. Instead of giving a reward first and hoping some businesses will actually earn it we should give the reward after the jobs are actually created.

In June, S 1921 passed the Assembly by a margin of 60-5 votes, and by the Senate 29-4, but Governor Chris Christie vetoed the legislation. Polls show that nearly 90% of New Jersey residents would like to see sow gestation crates abolished. The overwhelming support for the elimination of sow gestation crates must be acknowledged and signed into law now.

US Corporations are not paying their fare share of US Corporate Income Tax and there is an easy fix.

Chelsea Manning, fka Bradley Manning, is an individual who took a personal risk to expose the duplicity and, in cases, criminality of US foreign policy, especially in Iraq. Manning meets the definition of a "prisoner of conscience". Manning was held in conditions that were determined to be *illegal* pre-trial punishment. Manning was denied her right to a speedy trial.

While working in retail, I have seen fellow employees being given shifts ending at 11pm at night just to come back at 5:30am tired and not 100% functional. Not only is this immoral but bad for business. There should be a mandatory 8 hours in between shifts so people come to work alert and awake.

I started this petition because recreational marijuana would not hurt anyone! It would generate desperately needed revenue, create jobs, and be one less reason for our natives to flee to places such as Colorado.

Every day, millions of children in India wake up with nothing to look forward to except hours of back-breaking labour working everywhere from stone quarries to carpet factories to rice mills. Children as young as 5 years-old are kept from school, forced to work 7 days a week for up to 18 hours a day and end up with crippling injuries, respiratory disorders and chronic pain. Thankfully, the Indian Parliament is considering legislation called the “Child and Adolescent Labour Abolition Bill ”. This legislation would put an end to the enslavement of children in India but it risks not passing without a demonstration of mass public support. For every day the bill is delayed, several children remain at risk of being bought and sold to work in unimaginable conditions of sex slavery, bonded labour and domestic servitude. Call on the Indian Parliament to immediately pass the “Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Amendment Bill” and end child slavery in India.

Florida’s tomato farms supply 50% of all U.S. fresh tomatoes but have also been called America’s ‘ground zero for slavery.’ Countless workers held against their will, threatened with violence and forced to haul hundreds of heavy tomato buckets a day for little to no pay. Thankfully, a new solution called the Fair Food Program has been proven successful. The Fair Food Program is working to enforce a policy of zero tolerance for slavery on tomato farms. But a major U.S. supermarket chain, Publix Super Markets, is refusing to support the Fair Food Program. Publix continues to buy tomatoes from growers that are not partners of the Fair Food Program and where workers still toil beyond the reach of its proven protection from modern slavery. Will Publix Super Markets, which prides itself on making Fortune’s ‘Best Companies to Work For’ list, continue to turn a blind eye and give excuses, or will it leverage its vast market influence and lead the way in cleaning up slavery in the tomato supply chain once and for all?

(Facial hair, piercings, and brand types on clothing) Facial hair: I think that one, facial hair is not an issue due to the fact that its human nature. Plus, if my mom, dad or guardian says that i can walk out of the house, and go to school with said facial hair, than it should not be an issue. Piercings: I say that once again, if my mom, dad or guardian says that i am aloud to have and wear said piercing (being facial or not) than it shouldn't be a problem. Iv had more attention drawn to me when i don't have my piercings (gauges) in than when they are, simply because it looks gross. Brand type on clothing: I don't understand how we can go to a school where i can walk around with a cross on my shirt or other said clothing, but if the cross is flipped upside down it is not aloud and will result in a write up. Its not just that though, i think that any religious view should be aloud to be expressed while on school, and once again if my mom, dad or guardian is alright with it, than it should not be an issue. I also want to point out that if i am not correct, colleges will look back on your grades, test scores, attendance, and any record of disciplinary actions that had to of been taken place (write ups, pink slips, conduct marks, ect) i don't think getting in trouble and having marks on your record for colleges to see, when i couldn't wear a type of shirt, or because i had some hair growing on myself, which comes natural.

Lesbia will separated from her 4-year-old son, Anthony, and 4-month-old daughter, Melanie, on January 16, 2014, if the community doesn’t stop her deportation! You can help keep Lesbia with her two small children. She is a loving mother of Anthony and Melanie, both of whom are U.S. citizens. Lesbia has lived in Virginia since 2005. She has worked really hard all of these years to provide for her children and to see them go to school. Her dream is to see her son and daughter go to college. In 2013, Lesbia was heading to work when she was pulled over in Virginia. She had a drivers license from Maryland, a neighboring state, but the Virginia police officer did not consider it to be valid. She was taken to ICE where Lesbia was put in Deportation Proceedings. She does not have a criminal record. Please help keep Lesbia with her children!

There are too many of us dying and in jail. Murder and slavery should not be an option to population control. They don't need us anymore they have so many new people to control. We can't hurt them more than they have already hurt themselves. So why fear us? Actually we need $8,000,000,000 to complete the move.

With congress being the least productive in all history, cutting food stamps, veteran benefits, cutting off unemployment to so many, this a travesty. We the people need to make a stand.
