It is the responsibility of our elected officials to rescind and repeal HB1261 that eliminates general assistance for citizens in need. The enactment of this type of bill would only create more criminal activities from people in desperation to survive. Instead, our elected officials should consider the alternative plans developed by the Harmonious Volunteer Center which have been successful in creating job training and employment for this population of people thus removing them from the welfare roles in positive and productive ways.
Why is this important?
In lieu of the attacks on the poorer people of Pennsylvania, alternative plans have been made to convince the Governor (Tom Corbett) to reconsider the manner in which he has been introducing bills. Sign this petition to join in the collective efforts of the Harmonious Volunteer Center. Visit our website and become a member of a movement to create Jobs.
