Employer contracts often contain requirements that all parties settle disputes through an artibtration process. The arbitration process is unfairly skewed in favor of employers and businesses who set up and pay for this employment requirement. This reform would place all employment arbitration negotiations and final determinations in the state's Fair Employment and Housing Department paid for with unbiased state funding.

The following is the substance of my petition, ala the wonderful Warren Buffett. This would shake things up in DC like nothing else, and reward good, honest work while ridding America of the sludge in politics........ Congressional Reform Act of 2012 1. No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they're out of office. 2. Congress (past, present & future# participates in Social Security. All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose. 3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do. 4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%. 5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people. 6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people. 7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void effective 1/1/13. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women. Congress made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term#s), then go home and back to work.

the army should change the 120 day rule to change an incomplete grade. School on average give students a year to make up an incomplete.

I am writing in favor of HR4170, student loan forgiveness. With the economy and todays world it would be nice if student loans could be forgiven. Many people have tons of student loan debt and are struggling to make ends meet with just the usual household bills. Groceries are highly expensive these days. It's hard enough just to feed the family. Please vote HR4170.

There is growing concern that our emails, internet activity and cell phone calls are available for monitoring by both private phone companies and data aggregators and government agencies. The development of new communications technologies has caught our society unaware as private, business and government sectors scramble to determine what limitations there are, how our rights to privacy affect what is permissible.

What is wrong with it and, why won't the President help work with Medical Marijuana patients,instead of busting them. Isn't it worth legalizing it? It's got more uses than medical. Clothing,fuel,food,housing.and HenryFord showed us all? Transportation. Henry's vision was to see a sustainable America, Independent as one.Growing our fuel and slowly transitioning too electric Battery power,would also help. I am a patient for medical marijuana,I need to know I am safe from Federal intervention .

The Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles requires gender-variant persons to undergo surgery before they will permit proper gender designation on their driver's license.

U.S. wars against the people of Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Somalia, Yemen, Uganda, Syria, Iran, Congo, Central African Republic, and Sudan, plus more than one thousand U.S. military bases around the planet, are now wasting lives and hundreds of billions of dollars, creating even more enemies who want revenge, making us less safe, and only benefiting politicians and their war-profiteering corporate donors. It is time we dismantled this U.S. Empire; brought our soldiers home; and used all those funds here for vital needs such as jobs, housing, education, building a sustainable energy system to reverse catastrophic climate change and repairing our tattered social safety net.

You see a lot of people getting bullied. It has been on the rise this year, and many years before it. People make excuses about why they do it, but unless you are the man upstairs or whatever you may believe in, no one has the right to judge. What we want this petition to do is to eliminate hatred on the internet and take a stand, because 1 out of 4 children are bullied. There are hardly no laws that protect kids or adults that are getting bullied!
