To stop employers wanting people social security number when they initially fill out an application. Their social security number should only be given out to them after the interview , if the company is going to hire them.

I worked for a health care company and at the time of hire they misrepresented my wage and their were other ambiguities with the offer letter. When I became aware of the misrepresentation I followed the channels of communication to rectify the issue and was told they made a numerical error and the issue wasn't rectified. I didn't believe it was fair. I emailed the next person to try to make an appointment to discuss the matter and was terminated because the stated I didn't follow the channels of communication. Due to At Will employment laws I believe other people have, can, and will lose their jobs for situations like this.

I'm calling for a stand to help those who are in debt from Student Loans. I am college graduate with a Bachelor's Degree in Business Management. I was lucky enough to find a decent paying after college. However, between the amount I have to pay for my monthly student loan payments and my other bills, I don't have much of my paycheck left. Currently, I am living with family because I cannot afford a place of my own because of my student loan payments. I have added up my total expenses and have found that if I didn't have taxes taken out of my paycheck that I would be able to afford a place of my own. Given the situation of the economy and seeing as how the government has made very little effort to help those who are struggling because of their student debt, I feel that the people who have finished their higher education should be exempt from paying both Federal and State taxes until their loans are paid off.

The petition is about preventing Liberian warlords invoved in committing crimes against humanity and war crimes from using the holy pulpit to promote their personal agenda. On September 23,2012, Madam Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, President of Liberia, and a major warlord of the brutal 14 year civil war in Liberia spoke at the Abysinnian Baptist Church in Harlem, New York.

Our veterans are coming home and not giving the right kind of care that they need or just simply being turned away. The result is a high number of overdoses of presciption drugs and suicide.

The average college student graduates with a staggering amount of debt. Many grads are able to find work in their chosen field but the salaries for college grads don't justify the cost of higher education. I myself have held a job in my field for almost 6 years & my salary doesn't allow me to support myself or pay off my student loan. Companies still want cheap labor & it's wrong to require someone to have a degree & pay them close to what they could make without one. We have minimum wages in place for hourly workers and a system needs to be put in place for the salaried workers. Higher education in America is turning into a expensive joke.

An end is needed to allow legislation to be passed or obstructed based on party donor affiliation. These affiliations are directly related to lobbyists whose interests go beyond the common good. The Supreme Court needs to ensure Bills are not put forward or obstructed, and prevent direct correlation to campaign donors who are clear to gain or lose financially.

Thousands of your elderly constituents, poor families, low-income adults, and poor children will be affected immensely by your refusal to accept the Medicaid Expansion Program. I have nieces and nephews who will no longer be able to access medical care due to your irrational decision to balk at the President's plan to help our citizens, those of whom are in the greatest need of assistance. Gov. Jindal you can and should reverse your decision to refuse acceptance of this program.

USGS has developed an Earthquake Early Warning System that could give Californians a 10-60 second warning before the Big One hits. That may not sound like much time, but it's enough time to stop trains, delicate surgical procedures, shut down nuclear power plants, keep planes from landing, take people in elevators to the nearest floor, and for people everywhere to grab their loved ones and take shelter. The Japanese had a similar early warning system they attribute to saving thousands of lives. Mexico has one too. But State and Federal budget cuts mean it may take a catastrophic disaster before the funding is approved.

Not sure if this will be considered a petition, but very important.

I am tired of watching people die when they are just trying to live an everyday life. Unfortunately the NRA is in the pocket of Congress approximately 80% Republican and 20% democrat - I think this is too hot of a button for either candidate to handle - however we cannot sweep it under the rug. What did it for me was watching a Today show piece not long after the massacre in Aurora Colorado where people could buy assault weapons exchanging in store parking lots even Walmart even a missle launcher. I am personally involved only in the respect that I live in the United States of America and I ve had enough.

Usury law's have been done away with or weakened to allow banks to charge outrageous interest rates. Congress should write new laws reinstating the Usury Law's and the .Justice Department should have the ability to enforce any Usury law's still on the books.
