This petition is to end the misuse of credit reports as barriers to getting people back to work. You may recall 60% of employers are now using credit reports in hiring even though there is no evidence that they predict the quality of an employee and hundreds of thousands of Coloradans have had their credit impacted, due to no fault of their own, by the recent recession. Furthermore, there are major errors in the credit reports of over 20 million Americans. It's time to remove this unnecessary barrier to getting people back to work. The bill passed the Colorado Senate on a vote of 20 - 15 but the bill faces significant challenges in the House. It is scheduled for hearing in the Colorado House Monday March 19, 2012 at 1:30 PM. It is the 2nd bill up. Please testify in support of SB 3 to help us end this practice that creates a vicious cycle of unemployment. You can also help by writing letters to the editor or calling and writing the members of Local Government and asking for their "yes" vote:

Our dog is at risk of being euthanized by the court.

All politicians that pass legistlature against women, minorities, or reduce benefits for the disabled should be sought out, brought out, talked about, & voted out of government. These people are causing the US to be like the Middle East. The people will fight, don't worry. At election time & or before. Petitions will be signed, & Governors who take any of this lightly will be gone.

This crude, intimidator of women should not be on the air!

Rush Limbaugh's attack on Sandra Fluke, the college student who spoke to Congress about women's reproductive rights, calling her a slut and a prostitute and asking her to make a sex video, is beyond reprehensible and should be the end of his on-air career. Let's convince KRGI to kick him off the air in Grand Island.

Governor Corbett's proposed budget would nearly eliminate the funding for families who receive intellectual disability services funded by state -only dollars. My sister Mary has been receiving funding since she became ill and my father was no longer able to care for her. The home she is currently living in run by Devereux is being forced to close. Mary and others like her are vulnerable. Governor Corbett said he valued children and adults with intellectual disabilities as fully participating members of society and that he would work to provide them with the support they need to achieve their potential. Make him fullfill that promise he made to me and the thousands of other families with relatives with intellectual disabilities!

It's time we stopped the hate and misinformation that is undermining us as a society. Persons like Limbaugh provide a brand of entertainment that demeans us as a society. Let's take back our airwaves and deny special interest money's negative effect on us all.

I have a friend with cancer who needs this drug to survive.

To initiate a change in the Patient Privacy Act, to allow immediate family (parents, and/or siblings), access to medical information which can be used to help a substance abuse patient get the proper treatment, primarily when a physician determines that the patient may be in a life-threatening situation because of their addiction.

Limbaugh has been spewing hate speech for decades. He has poisoned the public debate on issues important to the welfare of the nation and polarized the people turning honest differences of opinion into hardened positions without room for compromise on either side. His latest rant is just one in a long line of bigoted, misogynistic speeches designed to divide America at a time when we need to pull together more than ever. We need to let local media know we want him off our airways and out of the public discourse on the important topics of women's health, racial equality and social justice.

Rush Limbaugh has long fomented discord and hate in our society. Regardless of one's own political persuasion, hate-filled rhetoric, such as that spilled into the airwaves daily by this man, is in part responsible for the hateful acts perpetrated by the crazies who shoot Congresswomen and make us all fearful of the next act of rage in our public places. We need to return to civility, and removing this man from the public's radio waves will be a great start and an example to others.
