Many people have been hit incredibly hard during this economic down turn and are being denied jobs for non violent criminal history. Although laws prohibiting discrimination are in place, its impossible to effectively protect the privacy and/or the negative repercussions that an arrest (even if unfounded or dismissed) has on the job seeker.

After watching the debate I was so disgusted with the way Romney ran the debate. President Obama MUST show the American People that he can be just as assertive as Romney. President Obama needs to make a strong opening statement. He needs to let the American people know that in order for him to have an imformative debate with Romney, Romney has to give the American people some actual specifics about his plans and quit flip flopping on every issue. Otherwise , Romney just keeps lying, denying, omitting and flip flopping. Please President Obama fix the damages from the first debate. This has been Romney's and his advisors plan all along.

This particular petition is about PA Senate Bill #427, which is proposing that all medical insurance companies in the state of Pennsylvania permit all women the right and access to all FDA approved contraception methods, devices, and the medical counseling that goes with it. If this bill would pass into law, there would be less unintended pregnancies and fewer abortions.

Using whiteboard, overhead, powerpoint, whatever, SHOW US THE NUMBERS ! We demand information if we're going to decide the direction we're heading in the next 4 years- and we'd prefer not to be heading off a cliff!

CNBC is a Republican Vehicle for lies and Romney Propaganda. The majority of its commentators and anchors blast the airwaves with their Republican distortions. Joe Kernen, Carl Quinanilla, screeching Rick Santelli, pandering Carl Quintanilla, heavy handed Maria Baltiromo and vacuous and destructive Larry Kudlow are puppets of the Republican party and provide a constant platform for the lies of the Republican Party. This morning, Carl Quintanilla was especially offensive as he challenge the veracity of Secretary of Labor, Solis, and the new unemployment report. Carl Quintanilla is offensive, unprofessional and unfairly Republican biased. He is not an objective voice on CNBC. His interview with Sec. Solis was absurd and insulting, as he quoted Jack Welch's tweet, who is a blatant Republican puppet and offensively stated that the govt. lied in its recent recording of the unemployment rates. Welch received his bottom lines at GE by FIRING his employees to increase his profits... he is not an objective source but works non stop for Romney. Welch's skepticism and constant Republican lies of deception are out of like, like their boss, Romney. As the self-serving Republicans constantly lie and deceive they have created a distorted climate of distrust. The Republican attempt to taint the veracity of the FED employee results are disgusting and another ploy in the Repulbican constant barrage to manipulate the system for their personal gain. Republicans will do anything to win. They lie, they constantly alter the facts, they manipulate the system in any way they can to suppress the American vote... ENOUGH!!! CNBC's Republican personalities like the weak and pandering Carl Quintanilla, the sardonic and bitter Joe Kernen, screeching Rick Santelli, uninformed Larry Kudlow and heavy handed self serving Maria Baltiromo are out of line, out of touch with the American populace and provide a totally skewed and distorted view of economic news. NBC has provided them with an unfair platform to spew their Republican venom. Time to clean house, and return CNBC to its clear platform to provide objective financial information. Time for Move ON to take on CNBC and make them remove these offensive Republican shills.

Sign to urge the UCSD administration to reconsider their decision to close the Crafts Center!

Child support has been a photo-op for ambitious politicians who are eager to collect scalps at the expense of community and family stability. These unscrupulous politicians erode the tax base, while getting their name in the newspapers - in a vote-buying scheme which benefits no one except for the private prison industy. It is time to stop criminalizing millions of decent American men who are harmless, and who should be protected by Government in the USA.

We rely on CNN for unbiased reporting in an environment where a good chunk of Americans are influenced by faux-news organizations such as Fox News. Erin Burnett was hired among a group of other extreme right-wingers by Ken Jautz, the promoter who gave ubernut Glenn Beck his first TV show and who has caused CNN's ratings to suffer as more and more get sick of the biased reporting. Erin Burnett seems to be auditioning for Fox News and has been notoriously biased in her coverage in a way that damages CNN's reputation of being fair. Her quotes are now featured in RNC attack ads against Democrats. She acknowledged that Vice Presidential candidate Ryan's speech was full of lies, but proceeded to praise him as "precise, clear and passionate." (http://www.mediaite.com/tv/cnn-utterly-fails-at-calling-paul-ryan-a-liar-or-caring-that-he-is-one/) She repeatedly argued that Romney's "charity" giving should be considered equivalent to a tax payment in calculating his rate. She attacked "Occupy Wall Street" protestors in a malicious manner. As Cenk of "Young Turks" noted, "There isn't a Republican talking point that Erin Burnett didn't want to make out with."

Senator Lamar Alexander voted to block one billion dollars to fund the Jobs for Veterans Program. Why when the State of Tennessee has so much homelessness and unemployment and could benefit from these programs? I had two sons serve in the Army Infantry Division during Iraqi Freedom and when they returned home they could not find jobs. Either they didn't have the skills or the qualification requirements for the better paying jobs.There was no special training programs nor anyone to help them adjust to civilian life. That is why this money is so important to our veterans returning today that they get the skills and training they need to find a good, well paying job. If these funds are allowed and these programs are in place, our state will benefit with improvement in unemployment and homelessness. It's a win, win. Senator Alexander, please take the time to reconsider your vote.

According to the Workplace Bullying Institute, women bosses abuse female employees about 80% of the time. I am an older Black woman and one of over 25 Black & Hispanic female victims terminated as a result of workplace bullying by a Black female executive over the past 10 years. Like Domestic Violence - a crime in the home, workplace bullying is about power and control and is a crime in the workplace. It is not a private employer/employee problem. If their behavior is not stopped, school yard bullies grow up to be batterers and workplace bullies. If the bully is the boss, abuse in the workplace becomes the unhealthy norm, negatively impacting the bottom line. We're calling on Governor Deval Patrick and Massachusetts state legislatures to pass the Healthy Workplace Act now.

In the first presidential debate, Romney delivered a storm of lies. If Obama has respond to each one in two-minute segments, there would have been no time to present his position. In such cases, where lies have already been fact-checked by authoritative sources, the moderator should be sufficiently informed to call out the lying candidate.

Mitt spoke about the Educational System not working however through Race to The Top President Obama has done so much to help to improve education. It bothers me that Mitt has criticized education without providing any real answers on improving it. Destroying public education and replacing it with Charter Schools/Private Parochial Schools which undermine the quality of life of teachers isn't an answer.
