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.

First time, non-violent felony convictions actually are a life sentence hampering the person from getting a job, a place to live, getting credit, etc. Establish an independent, non partisan, non-political committee to do in depth investigations and grant pardons, thus relieving the Governor of the burden of political backlash and giving the convicted felon who has paid his debt to society a second chance.

Styrofoam has a 2,000 year half-life. It is extremely toxic. It's unnecessary - just cheap. It can't be burned without polluting the air and can't be buried without polluting the ground. Many people take their food home and microwave it while still in styrofoam containers, creating the potential for released toxins going into their bodies.
