Thank you, Senator Hirono, for your bold leadership on behalf of immigrant women.Are you a man? What if the United States only gave immigration visas to men? That would be pretty unfair, wouldn’t it? It would exclude a lot of good people for no good reason. Our current immigrations laws don’t limit visas to men. But we do give most of our visas for jobs overwhelming performed by men. Jobs dominated by women workers – like nannies or nurses or home care workers – get very few visas. On Monday, March 18th Senator Hirono is holding a Judiciary Committee hearing on Women and Immigration, and immigrant women will finally get the attention they deserve. This is the first time during the current immigration reform debate that a hearing has been convened on this issue. Our failure to do so in the past is one reason our current laws hurt immigrant women. Please click here to thank Senator Hirono for her bold leadership to ensure that immigrant women are finally getting heard by the United States Senate. We are often quick to criticize our elected officials. But when they step up and do the right thing, they deserve our appreciation. For the next few months, we will be doing everything we can to inform the public and our Representatives in Congress about the ways in which women will be affected by reforms to our immigration system. This hearing is a great place to start. Thank you for joining us.510 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Lisa Moore

Representing all the peoplePeople who represent my concerns and those of many others in the state were gerrymanded out of office. The current N.C. Government, by working to enact legislation that could undermine both the poor and those who have been schooled in the liberal arts, are putting the reputation and future of the great state of North Carolina in jeopardy.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mary Ellen sweeney

Jerry Brown, Stop hammering the nail into the coffinExcessive penalties, on Unemployment Ins. My husband has been laid off 4 times in 4 years, due to an over payment, We have not received 1 unemployment check since applying on Dec 30, 2012 and will not for another 3 weeks. Our only income is my disability. We are a family of 4. This literally put from the category of catching up to the world of poverty. Unemployment is money we put into the system.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Linda Villanueva

Increase Metropolitan TransportationMany people in just the Orlando region don't have a personal car or they have an invalid driver's license. By increasing the number of commuter rail and local/express buses, people can get to work on time, students can get to class on time and many would rely on public transportation which benefits not only the public but the local government as well. This will also decrease the number of DUI's and car accidents. This will save thousands of live's. Please take this message in consideration.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Javeen Sankar

Legislative Salaries Reduced to Minimum WageOur elected representatives pass legislation that is supposed to reflect the needs and the good of the people. Instead, they continue to listen only to the moneyed. If their salaries were based on the minimum wage, they would have closer ties to the needs of those they speak for.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Carol Reger
