This bill would close down legitimate small local businesses that help employ people and pump money into the local economy. There are other issues more pressing. Cut unemployment and foster local business! Doing the opposite is what House Bill 3518 would do.

Where can an adult work 50 hours a week for no pay in 2013? The White House Intern program. According to the White House website, intern duties "include conducting research, managing incoming inquiries, attending meetings, writing memos, and staffing events." That is real work, Mr. President. It's not equivalent to a semester in college. The White House internship program puts many on a fast track to leadership, but is only open to the children of the wealthy. No one can work 45 hours a week and then make enough to pay the high rents in D.C. It's nothing to be proud of. We can do better. A federal court ruled correctly that interns for the film "Black Swan" should have been paid. We ask the White House to lead by example and pay all its employees.

Whenever I go to the gas station to fill up my tank, I use the opportunity to empty out the garbage in my car. However, it's not always garbage. A lot of times it's items that could be recycled: aluminum cans, plastic soda bottles, paper, etc. If all gas stations provided receptacles for recycling, we could go a long way in keeping our earth green!

Currently on Georgia's Secretary of State website it states "Sexual Orientation: There is currently no Federal or Georgia law prohibiting discrimination against employees based on their sexual orientation." (http://sos.georgia.gov/firststop/georgia_employers.htm) In order to ensure Georgia continues in its history of civil rights advancements and not fall behind the sweeping national movement to support and protect marriage equality, we must amend the portions of our legal code which prevent us from moving forward. Homophobia and discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is no different than racism. Just as the people of Georgia fought (and continue to fight) to eliminate racially discriminatory laws, we must continue to defend against discrimination against all groups, and this absolutely must include the LGBTQIA community. Simply put, we must not allow the legal abidance of discrimination.

My Family Member And Her Partner Have Been Living Together For Many Years, And Fore The Last Twelve Have Been Buying A House .

My petition is for a living wage. The current minimum wage of $7.25 nationally is not enough for people to live on. San Francisco made their wage $10.25. Even though that is good, many say that is even low since the price of housing is tremendous there. I have two jobs that pay $9.25 and $9.77 respectively and am barely making it myself. Also, each person in this country should at least receive enough money and resources to stay in a home, buy food and pay utilities. Although there are services in place, quite often it is not enough.

The American people overwhelmingly want sensible gun legislation,but our legislators are fearful of the NRA and refuse to act.

Currently,there are many politicians who are engaging in impeachment-worthy behaviour.Unfortunately,the power to impeach politicians lies not in the hands of the people where it should be,but in the hands of the corrupt,self -serving politicians themselves.The power to impeach is the power of the people to take back Deomocracy.

Any new bills that is being put into law, the name of the bill must represent 80% of what the bill really does.

More work and less pay? No way. But Reps. Eric Cantor and John Boehner and other corporate bought-and-paid-for politicians want to change that. Cantor has prioritized legislation—H.R. 1406—that would let corporate CEOs get out of their legal obligation to pay cash overtime to workers and replace it with the "promise" of time off in the future. If this bill passes, it would change decades of labor law that have protected the 40-hour workweek and fair pay for workers. Workers who work overtime would be paid nothing and be given the “promise” of time off in the future—whenever the boss gives permission to take it, of course. A lot of workers depend on the extra money they get from “time-and-a-half” overtime pay just to make ends meet. This proposal would take that extra money away, and workers who take “time off” would never see a bump in their paycheck. This bill also would undermine the 40-hour workweek by making it cheaper for CEOs to demand long hours from employees. Boehner, Cantor and other right-wing legislators want you to think this is about “flexibility” for workers. But the only people who’d get flexibility from this legislation would be bosses, not employees. Corporations already have the “flexibility” to give time off whenever they want. What they would gain through this bill is the “flexibility” to pay nothing for overtime work, and then tell workers to “take off” when business is slow. Don’t let Boehner, Cantor and our corporate politicians erode fair pay and the 40-hour workweek. Sign the petition to Congress NOW.

Concerned citizens oppose the proposal by DESPP to utilize 30 acres of State Forest in Glastonbury, CT to construct 55,000 sq ft Firearms Training Facility with multiple firing ranges and 125 parking spaces. The following are some conservation and public safety concerns: • The proposal will impinge on the Meshomasic State Forest and the Shenipsit Trail, a cherished 41 mile Blue-Blazed Hiking Trail managed by the CT Forest & Park Association (CFPA) and used by the public for hiking, running, mountain biking, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. • The area is full of wildlife including the eastern timber rattlesnake, an endangered species under General Statutes § 26-306 and § 26-306-4 of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies. • The existing town gun range has limited hours and only small firearms are permitted, whereas, the scope of this project is very broad and involves multiple new large open shotgun and rifle ranges. • An increase in the amount of traffic for this statewide facility is a safety concern for the area's winding roads that are utilized by many bike enthusiasts and runners. • Noise pollution and traffic will disrupt this quiet residential area filled with young children and used by many for peaceful outdoor enjoyment.
