Fair is fair. Drug testing is done at all work places, If my employer feels I should be drug free on MY job, I feel as we, the employers of the Government, the people of the United States, have a right to drug free officials. We hire them, therefore, we have the right to know they are drug free, and sober and doing their job without hindrances..

Am starting this petition with child abuse especially child molesting on the rise and these people go to jail but end up getting out and doing the same offense again and again. I feel the death penalty will greatly put a stop or reduce the number of reported child rapes or molesting. Repeat offenders gets out of jail and fail to sign up as a sex offender and they end up falling though the cracks, please sign this to put and end to child molesting which in turn in the future lots of victims will grow up without being abused and the cycle of child molesting will stop!

I co-own Jem Raw Organics, an organic food manufacturing company in Bend, Oregon, and I believe consumers have the right to know whether the foods they purchase were produced with genetic engineering. I am not saying we should ban them yet, but we should have the basic right to know what we put in our bodies!

REASON TO BELIEVE FOUL PLAY WAS INVOLVED AND A WELL EXECUTED COVER-UP IN THE DEATH OF KENDRICK JOHNSON.

As research increased my awareness about the affects of Genetically Modified foods, further backed by scientific research and medical doctors whose patients improved after removal of GMOs, it became a passion to make labeling a requirement to benefit everyone. Florida's House Bill 1 (HB1) needs to be supported to make labeling a requirement. Your support signing this petition is appreciated and will let your voice be heard to our legislatures.

We all need food. Companies should not be allowed to tamper with our food. They are free to create whatever products they want, but these products should not be mixed with our existing food without us knowing it. I am worried about my children being used as guinea pigs by the food industry. It is unbelievable that our government does not protect our right to know what we eat. This has got to stop.

I am a bee keeper and I believe this is having a negative affect on my bees. I also do not want to eat any food that makes it's own pesticide.

Our Government is giving BILLIONS of your tax dollars to Federal Contractors and Employers who are denying Veterans their Employment, Reemployment, and Affirmative Action rights under the Selective Service Acts of the 1940's, 50's & 60's, the Veterans' Reemployment Rights Act (VRRA), the Vietnam-Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), and the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA). The Secretary of Labor, the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (DOL-OFCCP), the Veterans Employment and Training Services (DOL-VETS), and the Solicitor of Labor (DOL-Solicitor) are mandated by law to: 1) investigate complaints against Federal Contractors and employers, who are denying veterans their rights, and 2) to protect and to secure the rights of veterans in the workplace. The Secretary of Labor, the DOL-VETS, the DOL-OFCCP and the DOL-Solicitor need to perform and execute their congressionally mandated statutory duties and responsibilities under the laws under their authority and jurisdiction by compelling federal contractors and employers to comply with these laws governing Veterans in the workplace. The direct result of these Government Agencies failure to properly investigate complaints and to secure and to protect the rights of veterans in the workplace is the unconscionable and perfidious fact that 40% of the HOMELESS in our nation are veterans; the majority being Vietnam veterans. This number will increase exponentially with the return of the Iraq and Afghanistan veterans seeking their workplace rights from Federal Contractors and Employers and receiving the same SUPPORT from our Government and their Agencies as Vietnam veterans received. I was denied all of my veteran's rights by my employer who is one of the largest Federal Contractors in the world; that being the Shipping and Longshore Industry. I became a "Whistle Blower" in the Shipping and Longshore industry for requesting my veteran's rights and by submitting complaints with the DOL-VETS, the DOL-OFCCP, the Secretary of Labor and the DOL-Solicitor's Office. I have suffered and endured four decades of discrimination, harassment, retaliation and the creation of a hostile work environment which subsequently led to my "Constructive Termination" by being passed over for promotions when I had greater seniority or scored higher than others who were selected over me. The DOL-OFCCP was ordered by a Federal Court Judge to exercise their enforcement powers over my employer, Pacific Maritime Association (PMA), until they were in compliance with the Affirmative Action Laws governing veterans and handicapped individuals on December 15, 1994. In addition, the Judge found that the DOL-OFCCP's investigation "was so cursory or wholly unreasonable that the Court should view it as having not been made" and "as to be a "SHAM". It will be nineteen (19) years on December 15, 2013 since the Court Order and the DOL-OFCCP still has failed to comply with the Judge's Federal Court Order. Please sign this petition and let's show Veterans that we truly support them and appreciate those who have given so much. By signing this petition WE will be DARING TO SPEAK "TRUTH" TO AUTHORITY and EXPOSE OUR GOVERNMENT'S FACADE THAT THEY SUPPORT THE MILITARY!!!!

Abortion is legal, but Republican governors and legislatures in 11 states are have passed laws restricting abortion access, forcing closure of medical clinics and requiring a woman who wants an abortion to travel sometimes hundreds of miles to find an open clinic, even having to cross state lines. Give women their legal rights back!

My girlfriend Colleen joined Corporation Doe as a Graphic Designer right out of college. At that time, they offered a competitive salary, profit-sharing, and an economical healthcare plan for all employees. Colleen began paying off her student loans and found a small apartment affordable enough for her to begin saving money for a home of her own. She met and married her husband Bill in 2004, and they bought their first home together shortly after the wedding. When the financial crisis of 2007 occurred, Corporation Doe asked the employees in Colleen's department to take a 5% pay cut in order to lower the number of necessary layoffs. Colleen and her co-workers agreed to the pay cut and there were no raises for regular employees over the next two year period. In 2010, merit increases were introduced to the company again but with a cap at 2%. However, employees have increasingly been responsible for bearing a larger part of the cost for health insurance each year with the end result being that Colleen (and her husband) now bring home substantially less ($500 month) now than they were making in 2007. They have lost their home to foreclosure and are now trying to decide whether to cancel their health insurance (opting for essentially a catastrophic plan for their family) or Bill quitting his job to work nights so they no longer have to pay for daycare for their daughter Maisy. Though educated and seemingly well-employed, they cannot afford healthcare and daycare both. Corporation Doe, however, is alive and well and enjoying profits unsurpassed in its 20-year history. The payout for executives and shareholders is a full 48% higher than it was just five years ago. We believe that it is time for Corporation Doe to reward loyal, hardworking employees like Colleen and Bill by giving a cost-of-living adjustment of xx% to all employees below the level of Vice President immediately, and by making a commitment to their employees futures by linking all future merit increases to either the rate of inflation, or the success of the company, or both.

The Koch brothers financial support to Tea Party Republicans have changed the Congress to a "road block party". Koch 's empire produces a wide spectrum of industrial and consumer products that we use every day, like Norton Tissue, ......Tridum filter, etc. When we all stop buying the Kock product, it will hurt their sales and profits where they need the most. They will think twice before opposing peoples' wishes.
