I am concerned about the safety and well-being of families which are at risk of being torn apart by the broken immigration system. By keeping families together, Congress can help immigrants to integrate quickly, invest in local communities, and support the U.S. economy as taxpayers and entrepreneurs.

Unionization is on the decline across America. Unions gave us the weekend, fair wages and relative income equality, unions helped end child labor, unions won widespread employer-based health coverage, and unions spearheaded the fight for the family and medical leave act. It is time we do something for unions.

Both Senator and the President have agreed on a set of guidelines for a bipartisan immigration reform. Now we have to push the Congress and the President to make this a reality.

Yes, I have been affected, but this issue is also about the millions across this country who have been affected by the fraud. It is despicable especially since the banks received our Tax dollars as a bailout for assisting homeowner's across.

The undocumented population, who came here to work and not be criminals, have been marginalized by immigration laws and enforcement policies. This approach is perpetuated by the language of today's immigration reform discussion: "harsh penalties", "the end of the line", no pathway to citizenship until the borders are sealed, and the reemergence of EVerify. We must stop the criminalization of those who have been captured in the dragnet of enforcement to allow them to remain in this country with their families.

I know quite a few of undocumented worker's who have tried endlessly to become US citizens, with hope for a better life.

Any vehicle in the State of Iowa that uses any public road has to have license on the vehicle. Also, there are no discounts for small businesses, farmers or churches for license plates. The max amount for license plates will be $50 for tractors and utility vehicles, $100 for trucks and $100 for cars. Dealers can still use dealer plates. License will drop by 10% at 5 years of age and 10 years of age. That price will be the minimum for vehicles over 10 years of age.

This petition is to affect change in the current child support laws and enforcement practices

Democratic gubernatorial candidate state Sen. Barbara Buono has won endorsements from most regular political organizations in New Jersey but the so-called 'progressive; candidate has her campaign account in Bank of America ~ one of the TOO BIG TO FAIL financial institutions that has gone unpunished for exploiting consumers and triggering the global economic crisis with unfettered greed.

My petition is for the state of Georgia and the federal government to make it illegal to use silver fillings in dental work. These fillings contain Mercury, a chemical known to be toxic to all living creatures.

Oklahoma needs to assure the health of all our citizens and utilize the programs available through the Afordable Care Act.

On July 26, 1941, six months before the outbreak of World War II, US President Franklin Roosevelt issued an executive order that placed the Philippine Commonwealth troops under the command of the United States Armed Forces of the Far East (USAFFE). This move made the Philippines, then a US colony, the largest American military garrison outside of the United States. But despite this historical fact, the US Congress passed the Rescission Act of 1946 that stripped the Filipinos their right and privileges as American veterans by stating that “Their war record were deemed inactive.” With this Rescission Act of 1946, more than 250,000 Filipino soldiers who fought as USAFFE, guerillas and troops of the Commonwealth of the Philippines from 1944-1945 and as US army soldiers lost their American Veterans status. For the last 67 years, Filipino WW II veterans have been singled out and denied their rights by our government and left without benefits or recognition after having been commissioned to fight a war in an American territory. They bravely fought side by side with American allies during World War II and have been unjustly excluded in the GI Bill of 2008 and GI Bill of 1944, which recognized and granted full benefits to 65 allied nationalities EXCEPT the Filipinos. Only 41,000 Filipino veterans are still living out of the 250,000 who fought during World War II. With a median age of 90, it is with the greatest urgency that the Filipino and Hawaiian communities demand our leaders to rectify this gross injustice. At least ten veterans die each day without seeing the light of full recognition. Full equity is long overdue. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 authorized the release of a one-time, lump-sum payment to eligible WW II Filipino veterans ($15,000 for those living in the US and $9,000 for those in the Philippines). While 18,698 were granted these sums, more than 24,000 Filipino veterans were denied of their claims. The worst part is that the same number of widows was also denied. A legislative bill introduced by Rep. Jackie Speier, The Filipino Veterans Fairness Act of 2011 or HR 210, gained the support of 96 cosponsors in Congress and direct endorsements of R-Rep. Jeff Miller, Chairman of House Committee of Veterans Affairs, and House Democratic leaders Reps. Nancy Pelosi and James Clyburn. Despite garnering a high number of cosponsors, this bill did not pass. The veterans, their widows and family, and members of Justice for Filipino American Veterans have been lobbying for the last 20 years in Congress. For more information, email [email protected].
