Due to this recession, so many laid off workers are using their retirement savings to buy or start their own businessess. But there is no exception in the tax code for this. You can roll the funds over to the Stock Market (big business), but not your own business. Not only will the funds taken out be subject to income tax, but an additional 10% penalty as well. This needs to be changed NOW!

The government allows truckers to work 70 hours a week with very little down time in between. Companies expand on this by stretching them as far as the law will allow! Somtimes to the detriment of everyone. If a driver has been on the road 14 hours and then back on again in 8 hours, where is family time? Where is wind down time? Where is dinner time? Most companies see their drivers as part of that truck, not a human. Well my husband is human. Going down the road I have witnessed many small cars whip in front of a tractor trailer only to not give that driver a thought of what could happen if he had a bad night or didn't sleep well because his wife is disabled and needed his help. We need this 70 hour law lowered for the safety of all!! Please, I have seen this and too many accidents, and marriages break up over this 70 hour work week to not bring this to someones attention.

We cannot continue to subsidize Oil Companies. We provide billions in direct funds and tax breaks to companis like Exxon, whose past quarter had net income of 9.45 billion, and the quarter before 9.40 billion. Daily I see their advertisements that flood the media, of how they are good, or do good to our economy and our citizens, yet nothing could be further from the truth!

To make it equal or of greater cost than the same item made in the U.S.A. Use the tariff money to subsidize the business that made that make the same items here in the U.S. This will help level the trade deficit and keep more things Made In America

The Dunkin' Donuts Company seems to have very little environmental awareness. They solely use disposable plastic and styrofoam utensils and containers, and some facilities do not even house a recycling bin! We urge them to stop creating thousands of pounds of waste each day, and instead, resort to reusable, recyclable and biodegradable methods and manufacturing.

Childhood obesity is growing in epidemic proportion, and the cost of treating obese children is skyrocketing. Would people want to see programs that address the needs of obese children through FQHC's (Federally qualified Healthcare Centers) that is in place and working continue to be funded when there is a proven record of success in the treatment of obese children?
