I inherited a house. The first half of the property tax was still on the senior citizen breaker and was around $600.00. The second installment was the total cost of the tax, about $4,500.00 minus the 1st payment, about $600.00 equaling $3939.00. What happened to the tax break the circuit breaker was covering for the first installment? All they did is deduct the first payment from the total tax. They should have cut the second installment by around half the total tax because of the senior citizen's discount. What a lovely system we have, LoL. I took care of my dying mother for 5 years and when I got my first job after she died, I'm making about $15,000.00 a year. It took me 7 months to save for a car to get to work to pay my taxes, but I had to give all my savings for a car to the tax man. And I still owe them $1,900.00. Damn it, MAN!

THE WEALTHY OF THIS COUNTRY CAN AND SHOULD PAY THE MOST TAXES ...NOT THE PEOPLE WHO ARE BARELY MAKING ENDS MEET BY WORKING 2 JOBS AND/OR LONGER HOURS .....THE RICH STAY RICH AND THE POOR GET POORER MENTALITY OF THIS COUNTRY NEEDS TO CHANGE .AND IT NEEDS TO START WITH THE GOVERNMENT ......

Marcene Rebeck, a Coos County, Oregon direct-entry midwife, preschool teacher, and business owner that has helped families by assisting in home births for over 30 years with the utmost care, professionalism and wisdom, has been indicted on second degree manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide for the death of a baby in June 2011. The baby died from sepsis in a hospital four days after Rebeck assisted in the baby’s birth at home; the family is not seeking prosecution. During the Grand Jury hearing, Coos County District Attorney Paul Frasier failed to provide a complete picture of the events that took place after the baby’s birth in an attempt to slander the good name of Ms. Rebeck. We believe these charges are so completely unjustifiable and the evidence so full of doubt, that this case appears to be motivated by a greater attempt to control the natural process of childbirth and turn it into a commodity. The only acceptable action is to drop all charges against Marcene Rebeck.

This petition is about how I, as a 33 yr old who never had insurance, became eligible for Obamacare, and a healthcare plan I could actually afford.

I've thrown out hundreds of dollars worth of food this year. Why? Hidden artificial sweeteners. They give me headaches, stomach aches and can make me ill for days. With the ever growing list of artificial sweeteners available, it's impossible for consumers to remember all the names. Even if it were possible, consumers would need to read the ingredient label of every product they consider buying to find the artificial sweeteners. Why? The FDA doesn't require that products containing artificial sweeteners place that information prominently on the front label where consumers can easily and quickly find it.

This Petition is Written for US (The American People) , to abolish ANY and ALL State Laws in Pennsylvania, as well as ALL other 49 States that are prohibiting US(The American People) in FREELY FEEDING AND SERVICING ANY AND ALL PEOPLE WITHIN OUR COMMUNITIES Who need assistance. I have personally been affected by the issue above through having dealt with being homeless for the past 11 months myslef. Having to experience struggling to make a way and feed my children has shown me first hand how these laws only hinder our people from helping those who need help. There are plenty of people that would help other people out but tend to shy away due to the laws and regulations set in place within there own communities. This only keeps our people oppressed and crime and poverty high.

I am a plasma doner who not only helps those who need it but I get help by getting paid to donate. It has helped me afford my perscriptions, food, gas, and pay bills when I have been short on cash.

My petition is about reaching voters, mainly senior voters. Ads are on TV and the internet, etc. attempting to explain issues to voters in the upcoming 2012 Presidential election. But I have failed to see ads in NEWSPAPERS across the nation, explaining, simply, and precisely the differences in the political/social issues of the Democratic Party and Republican Party. This petition is directed towards ACTION by the Democratic Party, which in my opinion, needs to get their message across in the most broad, simple, and understandable language....to those seniors and other "independent" and "undecided" voters.....that for whatever reason...still may be confused on the issues between the two poliical parties.

This petition is to insure that the voters receive the truth in campaign ads aired on the televsion and radio, and ads sent in the mail.

As a school social worker, I have seen the devastating effects of poverty on children's emotional development and academic achievement (poverty threshold for family of four: $22,314). Children born into poverty in the United States are 43% more likely than their peers from higher income families to live in poverty as adults. Poverty lowers the probability of these children becoming productive citizens and cheating our nation of future innovative and dynamic leaders.

North Carolina lawmakers want Governor Perdue to turn down federal funding for Medicaid under Obamacare. Please urge her to accept these funds.
