TO GET AN UP OR DOWN VOTE ON THE AMERICAN JOBS ACT!

I represent Veterans all over the globe via the FVA - Freedom Veterans of America as COO of the organization. It's been brought to my attention that city and state municipalities are going back into the traffic records, sometimes 30 or more years and suspending licenses of citizens and Veterans all over the country for things like an unpaid parking ticket in 1974. In all cases of the Veterans I've dealt with, $18 tickets have exploded into $1000 plus fines as states and municipalities and on an endless list of addition fines. Nearly all the Veterans I deal with have some form of physical disability, homelessness, PTSD or other condition. Many of them are returning Veterans from the Iraq and Afghan conflicts. After completing their tours, they come back to a state or city municipality which presents them with fines of hundreds and many times thousand of dollars for simple traffic tickets or moving violations. States and municipalities have taken advantage of a loophole in the statue of limitations laws concerning debt to further burden both Veterans and citizens on offenses that are many times decades old. If a murderer, a thief of $500 million dollars of art or other can be removed from any type of civil action, collection or criminal charges after 7-20 years, there is no reason private citizens and Veterans should be burden with fines that seriously burden their lives, employment abilities and other daily "Pursuit of Happiness" activities. I would like to start a petition to introduce legislation that limits ALL debt collection, whether government, civil or somehow criminal to 7 years, period, in all cases. Let us force the state and municipalities pass laws that streamline the collection of debt and remove all the roadblocks large corporation have introduced via lobbyist legislation that keeps them safe from collection. The same laws that burden the average citizen and Veterans alike.

In Rhode Island it's legal for owners, managers, and supervisors to steal tip money from their hard-working employees. Many states have outlawed the practice, but there is still no real federal law against it. Our proposed bill will ban managerial employees from taking any portion of workers' gratuities, whether they do it through simply demanding a cut or through automatic service charges, credit card fees, or by including themselves in tip pools.

Don't take Social Security and Medicare under the guise of fixing the nation's "debt problem."

To teenage driving requirements here in Texas. Change the laws in our state to, to require more driving with adult supervision for a longer period of time, less driving with teenagers in the car. Zero driving with another teenage in the car until certain requirements have been met. More restrictions on night driving to prevent drinking and driving among our teenagers. I have a complete outline on making it more safe for our teenagers to acquire the needed experience to drive on our local streets and interstate system, before a deadly accident occurs. This will reduce the number of devastating deaths among this group of young people. At the present they do not have the necessary skills to operate a killing machine. Join me in this cause to save the grief of the family and the lives of our precious children before it is too late.

Bullying does not stop after grade school. Like many thousands of adults, I have been tormented at my place of employment. Please help stop workplace bullying.

All people in the state have a right to vote. Right now politics has a strangle hold on the Kentuckians ability to elect the people they want to represent them. Kentuckians need a Redistricting Panel of CITIZENS to establish the redistricting lines. No pol is going to think of the citizens when this is done! We need what Californians have done & put this responsibility where it belongs in the peoples hands.

Governor Corbett wants to auction liquor licenses off to the highest bidders. Do we really want to put more money in the pockets of casino owners and big box stores? If privatization takes place, it should be a fair process, in which anyone can start a small business selling wine and spirits, not just big business. Sign this petition to help small business and keep profits out of the hands of the "Already too Rich".

Raleigh's adopted plan for sustainable growth calls for less sprawl and more compact, walkable growth in redevelopment areas. But this plan can only work if neighboring residents are protected from the density impacts of increased car congestion and the bulk of larger construction. Mitigating these impacts in an area where road widening is constrained by stable neighborhoods will require a predictable plan for (1) contextual infill, (2) upgraded infrastructure and (3) improved mobility options that make it easier accomplish daily activities without driving. Given the high market demand in the Cameron Village Shopping Center area for more compact, walkable development in accordance with Raleigh's sustainable growth goals, the residents, land owners and business owners in the Cameron Village area call on the Raleigh City Council to initiate a detailed plan for sustainable redevelopment and mobility, updating and extending the vision and Action Items of the Wade-Oberlin Small Area Plan. This Cameron Village Vicinity Plan will: 1. include design concepts for street changes that improve network efficiency and emphasize more mobility options for pedestrian, bicycle and transit access within and beyond the vicinity, 2. apply contextual design elements of the Comprehensive Plan and UDO (both adopted since the Wade-Oberlin Plan) to provide a more predictable blueprint for sustainable redevelopment in the area, and 3. specify near-term and long-term improvements and costs for infrastructure, streetscapes and enhanced transit operations.

There is a medal that is in the works to be awarded to drone pilots. Although I honor their service, this medal would be ranked ninth and above the Purple Heart. This is wrong and a slap in the face to all combat veterans.
