Abandon Obama care or modify it. Change Obama Care: Everyone working full time will be caused to work 28 hrs examples This is how Raley's and Bell Air treats their employees if your hours were cut to 28 from 40 hrs. They will lose their benefits next year because of Obama Care. Anyone with 28 hours is part time and all employees by Jan 1 2014 will have no benefits. almost all employers will opt out of providing insurance under Obama care the fine is cheaper than the cost of insurance $2k verses $5k cost the company for medical so everyone will be on Obama care. Gov. Subsidy insurance. Increase the fine to $10,000.00 for not providing insurance to employees. The unemployment rate went down because part time employment is up because they are trying to replace all full time employees with part time. How could you survive with 28 hrs. Wk. most people are holding down 2 part time jobs at minimum wage. Do the math $7.75 hr. x28 = $217.00 week x4.3 = $993.00 by the time you pay rent you have nothing left. It would be far better to require the employer to pay ½ toward their medical insurance. Than have all unemployed and supporting their medical because they won’t be able to pay the penalty for not having insurance. The 40 hour work week employment has dropped while part time has increased. True unemployment is close to 20%. This is not a friendly atmosphere to work in when you never know when your medical will be dropped. You will have all employees on Obama care because they will not be able to afford even the penalties. Current Obama care has lowered the middle class to poverty levels. Companies have already started to cut full time employees with 40 hrs to 28 hrs. Raley’s has paid an attorney $10 Million dollars for his services to break the union. With Obama care this will help the lawyer to do his job.. Solution: Abandon Obama care or modify it. Requiring companies with 29 employees or more to provide affordable insurance. To all employees full time or part time and to pay half of the premiums. Requiring employers to give employees with more than 1 yrs of employment 40 hrs work week. Restricting their part time employment to about 10% Increase fine to $10k for each employee not provided with affordable insurance. Raley's/Bell Air grocery chain vows to impose wage cuts Submitted by News10 Web Staff Monday, October 29th, 2012, 5:27pm Topics: News SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - As employees at one of Northern California's largest supermarket chains prepare to strike, the company says it will unilaterally impose a proposed labor contract that would reduce its workers' wages. The Sacramento Bee reports that Raley's supermarkets said it would implement its final contract offer on Thursday to the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union. Raley's said the union failed to offer an up-and-down vote to its members on the contract offer, which included a two-year wage freeze. Raley's worker Ronda Zanelli, a 32-year veteran, told the paper that no one wants to strike but that they are prepared to do so. It would be the first labor strike in the West Sacramento-based company's 77-year history. The company has announced that all non-management positions will have their hours reduced to 28 a week. Gary Burdette, Vice President of Operations for the local franchise, says the cuts are coming because the new Affordable Health Care Act requires employers to offer health insurance to employees working 32-38 hours a week. Under the current law they are not considered full time and that as a small business owner, he can't afford to stay in operation and pay for everyone's health insurance. There are 11 Wendy's restaurants in the metro. “It has a huge effect on me and pretty much everybody that I work with,” says Growbeck, who understands the reasoning and says other part-timers at other fast-food restaurants are facing the same problem. “I'm hoping that I can get some sort of promotion because then I would get my hours, but everybody is shooting for that because of the hours being cut.” Burdette says the decision affects around 100 employees. It was a tough one and he understands why people are upset, but the hour reduction is effective in two weeks for all non-management. Management employees will continue to have benefits as they are officially full time. Thank you Obama care for cutting my son's hours @ work. He is working @ McDonald's w/ 38 hours a week now 28. He will be job hunting now. CLOSE BANKS LOOP HOLE THAT LIKE B OF A PAYS NO TAX THAT WE GAVE BAIL OUT MONEY TOO.

Calling for the Immediate resignation of the Director of the Arizona Department of Corrections Director Charles Ryan. Last July of 2013 Arizona House Minority Leader COURAGEOUSLY stepped forward asking for immediate resignation with very little support from fellow Arizona legislators, following a series of COMPELLING investigative reports from KPNX 12 News, Phoenix Arizona, seasoned investigative reporter Ms. Wendy Halloran: "Watching Tony Die" http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/20130222tony-lester-doc-video.html http://www.azcentral.com/video/2183395260001 http://www.azcentral.com/video/#/News/Rep.+Chad+Campbell+calls+for+resignation+of+Arizona+Department+of+Corrections+Director+Charles+Ryan/40280768001/35150280001/2562549084001

Saving and extending the life of existing structures like San Francisco’s historic Candlestick Park stadium is one of the “Greenest” things America and California can do to reduce our dependence on fossil fuel. San Francisco has been the “Home of American Soccer” for over 100 years (1902), and the earthquake-tested 70,000-seat stadium (replacement value: One Billion dollars) is perfectly suited to take on a new and exciting life as a “West Coast Center” for the growing world-class sport. Saving Candlestick will also allow it to continue serving for many decades as a venue for concerts, events - even other field sports like rugby and lacrosse – thus building on the City’s history. Saving and rejuvenating Candlestick will moreover make California an environmental leader by demonstrating how America can generate new Green jobs and industry while leaving more fossil fuel in the ground by simply conserving the vast “embodied energy” of the existing structure. Unfortunately, thanks to outdated State and Federal legislation, citizens are being undemocratically denied proper review of City Hall’s latest hurried and deceptive move to sacrifice the valuable civic asset so politicians can give the “extra” land on which it sits to a developer of condos. Yet, very few citizens have been informed about vital plan changes suddenly being rushed by a City Hall that inaccurately claims that the unnecessary destruction of Candlestick will have no “significant” impact on climate change. We therefore respectfully and urgently request a State and Federal MORATORIUM to prevent City Hall from ignoring the fact that San Franciscans actually never voted to destroy their world-famous Candlestick Park and strongly resisted the idea for twenty years. US-CA Oversight will ensure that relevant State and Federal laws may be quickly and properly adjusted in order to help eliminate such needless destruction. It will also encourage new efforts for addressing climate change, creating a new definition of “Progress” that fosters new green industry and restores some Faith in democracy and Integrity in government. Please step in to save Candlestick Park before it’s too late. City Hall wants to blow it up before people notice what is really happening here.
