Stop Anti Woman Laws in all states

Our educated men and women are buried in debt by student loans. We should encourage education and not punish it. Our communities will benefit if money and services go back into our communities and not just to the banks.

JImmy Carter put Solar Panels on the White House. Ronald Reagan took them off. Global Warming is real; this President needs to show leadership in alternative energy

One of the principal reasons for power outages during recent natural disasters was fallen powerlines, felled by wind, tree branches, and snow. Power outages and trimming trees should no longer be part of business as usual for power companies. Let's put in place a tax incentive plan that puts people to work exclusively on putting those lines underground.

Rescind Measure # 11. Make retroactive

These are not entitlements/gifts. We have paid for these each working year of our lives. Many of us don't have pensions that come with health care, or even pensions. Our employees dumped pensions long ago. How else will we survive without these paid for benefits? It will be a feat to even retain employment until 65/66/67 with age discrimination. Many of us could work until 70 or later, but what are the odds we would have our employment continued, or could find a job after 50? Please take up our cause.

This story is important and I know that New Jersey Communities United members and supporters would stand with Helen & Travis and their effort to ensure Atlantic City casinos “Do More" than "Do AC"! Please read their petition below and support Atlantic City's residents & workers! - - - - Hurricane Sandy devastated millions of families along the East Coast, but in no city is the line between the devastated and the unscathed as pronounced as it is in our hometown of Atlantic City. Our homes remain uninhabitable as we continue to wait for heat, hot water and some semblance of normalcy. As we struggle to rebuild, casinos like Revel are open for business, offering out-of-towners a place to relax and indulge. We ask that you acknowledge the severity of the damage in your own backyard and provide desperately needed help to the residents of Atlantic City by contributing to the recovery efforts. For better or for worse, Atlantic City is our home. We are part of the generation born immediately after the casinos first opened their doors for business, so we have never known our city without the gaming industry dominating the skyline. And now, we’ve never seen our city in such ruins. These are additional hardships on a town that was already suffering: 25% live well below the poverty line, and thousands more are just barely above that mark, in the ranks of the working poor. Our unemployment rate is over 12%. Meanwhile, in one night Kevin DeSanctis, Revel’s CEO, makes ten times more money than what most local families make annually. Revel has a moral and financial obligation to the city that sacrificed its resources, public spaces and quality of life so that it could open its doors to the public. Atlantic City physically restructured its neighborhoods to accommodate the casino’s construction. Eminent domain pushed long-time residents out of their homes so the street leading up to the entrance could be widened. Revel’s grand opening was ultimately made possible by a $261 million tax-rebate package by Governor Chris Christie. And finally, when Hurricane Sandy hit, an additional $18 million investment by taxpayers in a beach replenishment program protected the property against damage. Now is the time for Revel to step up, go beyond contributions to the Red Cross and privately controlled relief funds, and connect residents with direct services and resources. We are calling on Revel to set up a station for hot meals, showers, community space for area youth, and work with Atlantic City residents—many of them Revel employees—to ensure a full restoration of the local neighborhood that flooded during Hurricane Sandy. While an ad campaign is being launched to counter the images of the destruction in your backyard, telling people to “Do AC,” we are asking you to “Do More.” In Solidarity, Helen & Travis New Jersey Communities United Atlantic City

Before Congress makes any cuts to SSI or Medicare, both programs that they have exempted themselves from, they should lower their pay. I say this as a Medicare ans SSI recipient.

Social security &Medicare has been paid into for years by seniors and as they use it they still pay a monthly amount. It should be preserved,as people on this can not afford private insurance, and without SS what are the seniors to do, go look for a job again, no one will hire them, I have tried at 59

Tax the Rich--it does not hurt them or the middle class

Cigaretes taxes are excessive, punitive and discriminating. Lots of chemicals and affiliated things are a risk to our health so why single out tabaco and tax it so abusively. Get rid of those taxes or tax those other health risks as well.

Entitlements is something we paid in and we're Entitlemed to get it back and not a dirty word.
