This petition is to support full day kindergarten for the Wethersfield public school system beginning with the 2012-2013 school year.

Call it class warfare, call it deregulation, or call it trickle down obstructionism… Make no mistake; this is about corporations eliminating hurdles to exploit Americans. As I begin, I think of the people of the Occupy Wall street movement, I think of all hard working people who have made this country great. I think of my Grandfathers struggle to bring the union to the coal mines of West Virginia. I hope and pray they accept me as one of their own and allow me to stand with them. GOD Bless You All. I expected union representation and only received hypocrisy… For ten years I have been trying to expose the SEIU local 1 Chicago Union for what I believe is fraud and corruption. I am attaching a copy of a SEIU Local 1 grievance form dated 15 May, 2002...Which I filed with the SEIU Union. I have marked this as ( exhibit A ) for your reference. The grievance written by union business agent John Zarris, states I have been required to work above my classification without being paid per the union contract, a contract which was agreed to between my employer, “Mid America management corps” and my union “SEIU local 1 Chicago”. The complaint of the grievance was my employer required me to accept a 24 hour 7 days a week emergency call, required to respond within 20 minutes of page. Please note; being in a Required Emergency call situation is NOT in the job description of my (Helper- A) classification as defined in the union contract. After a six month wait, On 18 November, 2002 at my place of employment, I received a fax letter from SEIU local 1 union representative John Zarris. I am attaching a copy of this fax letter dated November 18, 2002. I have marked this as ( exhibit B ) for your reference... The Fax from the SEIU 1 union representative John Zarris clearly states the union’s support of my grievance and also states “should I have any problems with my employer regarding these matters, please call”. I was immediately terminated upon my supervisors receiving this notification, and the SEIU local 1 union DID NOTHING to secure my job. It took Local 1 union rep John Zarris more than a week to return my many attempts and messages concerning my termination. On the phone with Union rep. John Zarris, I can’t explain my feeling when Mr. Zarris said “he was sorry for my termination, but there is nothing he can do to help me”. In shock, I said “that’s it! What am I supposed to do”, Mr. Zarris replied “Get yourself a good attorney” and ended the call. The SEIU local 1 Chicago refused any further contact with me. I took the advice of union Rep. John Zarris and hired a Mr. Gary Abrams of Abrams and associate law offices, in downtown Chicago. After much money and many years later attorney Abrams informed me, I DO NOT have a case because I DID NOT have a written agreement with “Mid America management corps”. Concerning my work responsibilities. I questioned attorney Abrams, “isn’t the union contract a written agreement”? Attorney Abrams informed me public policy takes precedent over the union contract, the level of proof needed, just wasn’t there, it’s a very complicated system” he said. The attached grievance form and subsequent letter of support from the SEIU 1 union Chicago speaks volumes by their self’s. I did nothing wrong, I filed a legitimate grievance; SEIU agreed with me, my employer had done wrong. In the end I was terminated for filing this grievance, my termination was nothing more than outright blatant cold hearted retaliation by Mid America management corp. As for SEIU Chicago, they ran and hid. If the SEIU Chicago union won’t stand up and protect a dues paying member who the union knows to be in the right, then the question must be ask, Just who is the union protecting. During most of my eleven years of employment with Mid America management corp. the president of the company sat on the board of trustees Of the Chicago SEIU local 1 union. I believe this is a conflict of interests and speaks right at one of the big issue of our time, corporate power and influence, greed, fraud, corruption. I am speechless; this is not the union my Grandfather envisioned so many years ago. This is not the kind of union the members of SEIU local 1 union deserve. SEIU local 1 allowed corporate power and influence to reverse the outcome of an already decided and documented grievance. If any corporation is able to affect the final outcome of a labor grievance in this way, then collective bargaining is only an illusion. I hope my union brothers and sisters of the past understand this is not an attack on them or the precept of the union. I believe I am due clarification, I believe we are all due clarification, if for no other reason than ensure it never happens to anyone again. Please stand with me and demand answers

The state senate is attempting to rid the state of Michigan of their bargining and contractural rights of having union representation. Michigan would be a much more appealing state for business if we filled the lakes with concrete making transfer of products easier from state to state. You want to create jobs state senate? Start making concrete. Stop hurting the working class! If these people representing the people can't come up with way's to cut spending and create job's, maybe they should greet at Walmart at $8.00 an hour ! Deal with the real issues.

The U.S. economy would be growing 5-6% if the money supply (M2) were growing 8% which it should be given the rate of increase in money by the Fed. But, the U.S. Treasury is paying banks interest on their excess reserves motivating them to hoard reserves. Excess reserves to deposit ratios are currently 18% compared with the 2% historical average. Petition Congress to end this subsidy, end the hoarding and get money into the economy so the economy grows 5%, employment increases more rapidly and unemployment drops to 7%.

Our national and state representatives implored us for the opportunity to lead. Now they must move from interested parties to truly committed individuals. They must lead by example, cutting their benefits and entitlements before asking others to do so.

The City of Allen's smoking laws are outdated and need to catch up to all the cities surrounding us on the I-75 Corridor. There should be smoking bans in the workplace, including restaurants, and there should be laws stating how far from the entrance someone must be to smoke - 250 feet away. There should be no smoking on city property or public school property, especially in public parks and their parking lots. No Smoking signs should be installed in these locations, and signage should also be on all businesses stating how far one should be from the door to smoke. A phone number should be posted on all of the no smoking signs for reporting offenders. Until we state the rules, and have some way to enforce them, we, and our children will breath second hand smoke with every trip to the grocery store, pet store, and restaurant within the city of Allen. It is high time to clean up our act and get the same smoking regulations that Plano, Richardson, McKinney, Arlington, Ft Worth, Dallas, and the rest have had for a long time.

Once again, under the guise of "nuclear threat", we the American people are being manipulated to accept our military involvement in Iran as a stand for freedom! No - it's yet another attempt to: 1. Create or capitalize on a problem. 2. Incite a fearful reaction. 3. Implement an already prepared 'solution' that further centralizes control, but which would have been previously unacceptable.
