This petition is an attempt to end a policy established at the height of the cold war and in place today at the behest of a small intrest group based in Florida for personal reasons. Americans and American Buisnesses do not need to be prohibited from free trade and travel with our oldest and nearest neighbor.

Tips make up a significant portion of the incomes of workers in counter-style restaurant/cafes. But Noah's Bagel's has a corporate policy against any tips or tip jars at all. Of course, this decision was made by the worst kind of human beings: highly paid managers who have never really thought about what it would mean to live on the incomes their retail workers make. Let's let them know what we think of this, and give them a wave of horrible, embarrassing press that will make Noah's change this contemptible policy.

When the economy is suffering, austerity is not a solution! Governments need to step up funding to help decrease unemployment and, in so doing, continue vital services that the people need, including health care, mental health facilities, and education. Schools need repairs and more resources--especially teachers--to aid in learning. It is also important for the State of Illinois to honor its obligations public service employees by fully funding their pensions. For these reasons Illinois must find additional sources of revenue immediately to keep funding needed services throughout the state.

Townships are rasing salaries for township employees and Teachers while cutting school programs that include Free Breakfast and afterschool program sports and arts,The New Jersey employee benefits and pension plan is already far too costly,support the children in the schools not the rich people running them who never give up any raises or benefits like other state employees who have not had a aise in 5 years.

There are many Democrats who would like to attend the convention, but don't intend to give North Carolina their custom after the passing of Amendment One. Don't let the convention be about boycotts and bigots. Move the convention now.

Cutting income taxes, when our state is next to the last in education funding is ludicrous. This is a smoke & mirror trick. Eliminating personal income taxes is only going to increase property taxes, and again it will be the lower income PEOPLE who will suffer the most.

No religious belief should be able to amend the Constitution! The United States was founded on FREEDOM OF RELIGION and quoting scripture that belongs to one religious belief system and allowing that one religion to make amendments opens this country up for all sorts of amendments.

uses unemployment money to subsidize 20% of net new hires for 2 years , making a taxable earner rather than a unemployment benefit user. Also makes USA more competitive to foreign work force. Net cost close to zero while makes jobs.

We passed the National 'Do Not Call' registry. In NY, political calls are exempt from this registry. Add political calls to this registry in New York and Nationwide. Prohibit political calls and robo-calls if you have registered with the National 'Do Not Call' registry.

Scott Thompson has been caught openly lying about his resume, claiming a degree he never had! If any of us 99% who play by the rules would have lied about something so fundamental, we would have been fired on the spot. Why should the rules be different for Scott Thompson?? He needs to be fired by the Yahoo Board - immediately!

IF WE DONT CHANGE OUR LIFE STYLE THEIR WILL BE A HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF UNEMPLOYMENT IN THE USA. KEEP OUR MONEY WORKING FOR US!!!

Adena Springs Ranch wants 13+ million gallons/day of water to irrigate 10,000 acres of pasture to feed 30,000 cows. That’s more water usage than the entire City of Ocala! Right out of the aquifer that feeds iconic Silver Springs that is already suffering a 50% reduction in average flow—this project will reduce it even more. Manure and urine will pollute drinking water supplies and runoff will end up in Silver Springs and the Silver and Ocklawaha Rivers, both designated Outstanding Florida Waterways. In a presentation to the Alachua County commission, Robert Knight, the founder and director of the H.T. Odum Florida Springs Institute, a Gainesville-based nonprofit organization, said the springs that feed into the Santa Fe River, including Poe and Ginnie springs, have drained at much steeper rates than the decrease in rainfall would warrant. That, Knight said, meant the culprit was human pumping. Voice your opposition to the super consumption request and help protect our drinking water, springs and rivers!
