TheIndyChannel.com Indiana Cosmetology Could Be Deregulated Cosmetology License Bill Draws Protest http://www.wishtv.com/dpp/news/politics/cosmetology-license-bill-draws-protests THIS WILL AFFECT YOU TOO…SEE HOW Everyone should attend. The more people, the better HOUSE BILL No. 1006 Link: http://www.in.gov/legislative/bills/2011/HB/HB1006.2.html We may have won a small battle January 20th, 2012; however, we have not yet won the war...100s of people showed up at the Public Hearing for HB 1006 to oppose this bill. Friday, January 20, 2012 by 9:30 am we as a group occupied the entire basement of the State House (i.e., standing room only in every room, corridor, and hallway). The Committee for Employment, Labor and Pensions were not prepared for the turn-out of Cosmetologist & Barbers. We can do it again! Highlights... The Committee for Employment, Labor and Pensions had an Advisory Committee R.O.E.C. “Regulation Occupation Evaluation Committee” was create by the House of Representatives General Assembly (i.e., to research all the State Boards and Commissions in as far back as 2010) and the report is due by July 1st each year. After R.O.E.C. concluded their research and presented their findings before the House of Representatives December 2011 Session deadline. R.O.E.C. recommended that (4) Boards and Commissions be deregulated. After the deadline on January 6th, 2012 the Committee for Employment, Labor and Pensions decided to attach the deregulation of these (4) Boards and Commissions to the already existing “RIGHT-TO WORK BILL. R.O.E.C. tried to justify their findings of why we don’t need to be regulated by the State Government. I realized that they had not really done their homework. Not enough research on Cosmetology & Barber. (See Questions) and (Our Answers) 1. Just because you’re not licensed…does that mean that your profession is not important? Answer: It is important to us to be more than certified. We worked hard to get our license and it would make it impossible to relocate into a state that requires a license to transfer and work. 2. Just because you’re not licensed…Does it mean that the consumer will lose the quality of services? Answer: In our profession we perform many corrective services, because for some reason a non-professional has screwed up the procedures and the result were not favorable to the consumer. 3. Just because you’re not licensed…Are the fees worth the license? Answer: Yes! We are willing to pay a higher licensing fee if the result is better state regulation of our profession (i.e., State cost to do business by the IPLA is $$216,376.00 annually. State revenue is $1,441,000.00). You do the math! (1)Where is the offset of $1,224,624.00? (2)What is being done with it? 4. Just because you’re not licensed…What would consumers lose? Answer: The consumer is at risk of losing their sight (malpractice injury), their money (no liability), their hair (chemical treatment), their life (paralyzed or death from massages) etc… 5. Just because you’re not licensed…Would you lose customers? Answer: Yes, if we cannot compete with the prices of “Kitchen Curls”, “Back Room Relaxers” and Over-the-Counter Colors. 6. Just because you’re not licensed…Is the occupation worthy? Answer: We perform services that require customer satisfaction that allows them to be unique as they present their selves to the world. 7. If licensing is eliminated…will it cause harm? Answer: It will create a chain reaction of loses to the entire Beauty Industry. (See loses) Tax-Revenue-produced for $700,000,000 (lost by the state) Beauty & Barber Schools (out of business) Master Educators (jobs lost) Professional Salons (out of business) Licensed-Practitioners (jobs lost) Professional Product-Manufacturers (out of business) Professional Product-Distributors (jobs lost) Insurance Companies-Malpractice/Liability or Full Spectrum Insurance (lose in revenue) Sense of Security-Receiving Services by a trained licensed professional.

If licensing is eliminated…can’t you regulation your profession? Answer: We want better regulation by the state government, and so do our clients. Because it only cost $216,376.00 if we are bringing in almost $1.5 million in revenue…We deserve it.

Americans should all share the cost of an effective, functioning government. There's no reason that teachers, laborers, and working Americans of all stripes should pay a lower tax rate that Mitt Romney.

WPPPP - (War Profiteers need to Pay a Percentage of their Profits) www.wpppp.org Hello and thank you for viewing and hopefully signing my Petition. This Petition is the beginning of what will be a long process in getting a “bill” to Congress; Senate and the White House. This Petition is geared to require any company, corporation, private business, nonprofit and/or anyone profiting from any war that uses any US Military Personal, to pay a percentage of their profits to the Veterans Administration. These funds will go to help our Vets and their Families. These funds will help the Troopers and their families with medical and recovery. I would not limit these funds to Post war use; I would make sure that the families here at home get funds that they need while their loved ones are away fighting these wars. These War Profiteers have made their wealth off of the blood and tears of our Military personal and their families for too long. Not only have we lost lives but some if not most that return are in need of a lifetime medical care. We have lost more than most know we lost the wisdom and knowledge of our elders. What kind of Country would we be now if we had kept all that has been lost because of wars? Require anyone making a profit from war pay for using our Men and Women to line their pockets with the blood of our loved ones. On a personal note: I understand that at certain times a War might be necessary. As in WWII, we had to do what was necessary to stop Hitler and his killing of so many people. But I realize what we lost as a Nation and Family, we lost a big part of our heritage, generations of values our troopers took with them have been taken away from us forever. I feel we have lost our way in this world and I would like to see us have a chance to rebuild and give our lost values a chance to reestablish. We need to pull together as Americans, and this includes everyone, all races, and cultures, everyone who resides in America. Let’s help our own and make these Profiteers help pay for it.

Please do not allow the republicans to destroy employment for the hard working union workers that are educated, trained and work in safe work environments. We need to become strongly United to stop this crazy stupid move that our government wants to do to us. United We Stand Divided We Fall!!!!!

Stop the right to work on IN!

“Should two adults in New Jersey, not of The Same Blood line, and of sound mind be able to enter into a Mutually Exclusive Marriage Contract; Yes or No?” If the majority of all citizens in New Jersey want their marriage recognized by the state of New Jersey, they would have to vote yes. If the majority of citizens don’t care to have their marriage recognized by the state of New Jersey, and the benefits that go with a state recognized marriage, they can vote no. Since this is a referendum to the New Jersey State Constitution, no marriage would be grandfathered, and no marriage would be exempted. This would be a straight up or down vote by every citizen in New Jersey. If the Majority vote’s No, New Jersey would cease to recognize state issued marriage licenses, and any New Jersey Law referencing Marriage would be removed from New Jersey statutes. The question on the New Jersey ballot would be phrased as such: ““Should two adults in New Jersey, not of The Same Blood line, and of sound mind be able to enter into a Mutually Exclusive Marriage Contract; Yes or No?”

Hundreds of millions of people's health are adversely affected by routine dental issues (cavities, broken teeth, etc.) that are inexpensive in of themselves to address whereas the health delivery system is making trillions of dollars treating health issues like diabetes, obesity, coronary artery disease, strokes to name a few that develop because of dental health neglect.

Decades ago, income tax filers could elect to donate a dollar or not to donate a dollar to Political Groups in order to seek the most honest and qualified Presidential Candidate and provide support at a very reasonable financial level. Currently, lobbyists, paid by large corporations, outspend and control our Country's political appetite with greed as their ultimate goal. This is very wrong! Let's do something about this issue NOW!

A fetal heart starts beating by 4-8 weeks. we are trying to make a stand and make it illegal for ladies to have an abortion when the heart is formed and beating.

My daughter (19 months old at the time) was severely injured, and the state of Kansas doesn't have strict enough punishing guidelines for child abusers that are first time offenders. I don't believe that someone who hurts a baby deserves a second chance. Help create this law. Children deserve a future. The current laws are placing children back into the hands of abusive parents, and putting the abusers back on the streets. My daughter survived, others aren't as lucky. This has to end.

It makes no sense to dole out massive new tax cuts to the wealthy while stripping low-income and disabled Mainers of needed healthcare services and consequently putting 4,400 healthcare providers out of work. At no time since the Great Depression have America’s wealthy elite enjoyed a lower tax rate then they do right now. Tell your legislators and Governor LePage you want the wealthiest 1% to pay their fair share.
