Twenty percent of American children will be sexually abused before their 18th birthday. Child sexual abuse produces many damaging lifelong effects for it's victims. Unfortunately, many victims are unable to seek justice in the criminal or civil courts because of New York's statute of limitations. Studies show that over 90% of children are sexually abused by someone close to them, often a family member or someone close to their family. 80-90% of victims won't tell anyone about their victimization before they become adults. In at least ten percent of cases, there is a non-offending adult who is aware of the abuse and does nothing to stop it. And this doesn't take into account the children who tell an adult who may take some action, but that action falls short of a call to the police or CPS. In short, it is impossible for many dependant children to use the court system to seek justice. They need to wait until they are adults, and adults who have accomplished a certain amount of healing, and have social, financial and health resources at their disposal. Things that are almost impossible for them to accomplish by the tender age of 23, the age at which the current statute of limitations prohibits them from seeking justice. This is one of rare opportunities the legislator gets to pass a bill that can empower victims, remove sex offenders from the street, and protect children.

Currently the Federal Government limits the amount of tax-free Education Assistance that an Employee can be provided by his or her Employer. The 2011 limit was $5,250. If the goal is to increase education in this country, and particularly to drive corporate-sponsored education & training programs, an increase in this limit will incentive Employees to take advantage of such benefits, and Employers to increase their funding to such programs. Sign on to this petition to tell our President and Congress to increase this tax-free limit to $10,000 for 2012; thereby allowing Employees to take further advantage of such corporate Educational Assistance programs tax-free. Also, sign on to this petition to tell our President and Congress to provide corporations with tax breaks for those organizations that contribute to such Educational Assistance Programs, which will incentivize them to increase their funding levels of these programs.

This petition is a response to the recent cuts to Missouri higher education funding. With enough signatures we could pressure the legislature and governor to rethink their budget decisions. There is no real deadline but one hundred thousand signatures in a year would be a good goal.

this is about hearings going on about birth control..and congress trying to make it a religion issue...
