Sick Leave for Employees!Sick-leave for employees! I lost my job because I was sick. My company didn't care! Been with that company for 9 1/2 years. Worked very hard, sometimes 17 days straight. No compassion or regard for the employee. I'm a Personal Care Assistant. I take care of the elderly. Worked 2 times when I had Walking Pneumonia, brought all my medications with me to my patient's home. I developed Asthma afterwards and had to bring my kit for Asthma. No work, no pay!!!!! This is another case that happened to me. That's what they said when they terminated me because of being ill with stomach problems.....throwing up and down. I asked they if they were laying me off cause I needed to collection unemployment. She smiled and nodded her head. ?22 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Maria L. Nieto Galarza

Equal Food Stamps For The DivorcedDivorced couples who share custody equally do not get the same equality from DCF when it comes to food stamps. DCF is not progressive in keeping up the new trend of courts assigning split custodial rights. I have three children and been divorced for two and half years. Our split custody is 50/50 so why he gets 100% of our childrens food stamps is illogical. I have repeatedly applied for half the food stamps that my ex husband has been receiving since October 2010. As he was "head of household" when we applied years prior during our marriage DCF says they recognize that and cannot split food stamps. I have done the math and I Ihave missed out on approximately $8,000 since the divorce. Unfortunately there is not a law requiring DCF to split the food stamps in situations of 50/50 custody. Signing this petition demonstrates your belief that equality in divorce needs to be extended to food stamps.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lynn Morse

End labeling to ensure employment once a sentence is servedYes. My father was charged with a felony. Even after he paid time in prison for his mistake, he was kept punished by a system that labels. He couldn't find a job even though he had a graduate degree due to his past mistake. This devastated our family economically and continues to do so. If my dad could have used his degree, I probably would have lived in better neighborhood, not acquired do much debt in college and even gone to a better school. The quality of my families life diminished due to labeling fathers that make mistakes. Once people serve time in jail they should be forgiven by the system rather than punished for eternity.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Carol

Censure Speaker Boehner!Since January 3, 2013, when the 113th Congress was gaveled into session by Speaker Boehner, this Congress has held no major or minor votes on the following: jobs, education, healthcare, or infrastructure on behalf of or in behest of the people of the United States of America. Although the Constitution of the United States of America has no clearly defined rules or regulations for the Speaker of the House of Representatives (save that a person shall be "chosen" as the "presiding officer" of the House of Representatives), it is and has been understood that the speaker is the presiding officer and shall be the administrator and procurer of the general function and or legislative business that shall come before the House. It is therefore the opinion of the petitioner that John A. Boehner, the Honorable, has done anything but in that regard. As such, he should be censured by the residing members of the United States House of Representatives for such inaction.358 of 400 SignaturesCreated by David R. Davidson

legalize same sex marriage in pennsylvania nowIt seems Pennsylvania is way WAY behind public opinion and the entire eastern US regarding legalizing same sex marriage. Every state north of our capital, Washington, DC has legalized gay marriage except New Jersey (but civil unions are recognized) and PA, where legal gay marriages are not recognized and our state says "Marriage is only between one man and one woman". Its time PA got in line with other NE states and legalize gay marriage!7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by kenneth williams

Family law legal practices need stricter regulations for the lawyersDespicably low standard of family lawyers lacking proper regulation and punishment by the Washington Bar Association that is fraternizing with the lawyers they are investigating and pride themselves on the increased amount of com paints while setting the fines for lawyers deliberately low. For a lawyer to be punished by WSBA it has to be a criminal vs ethical misconduct.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by angela uzun
