Since President Obama entered public service, he’s been driven by a simple belief: in America, if you're willing to work hard and play by the rules, you should be able to get ahead and provide opportunities for your family. That means you should be able to thrive at work and at home -- and that you shouldn't have to dent your paycheck, or risk losing your job, to be a good mom or dad, or care for your aging parent. And if you’re willing to work full time, you definitely shouldn’t be forced to live in poverty. That's why the President has repeatedly called on Congress and leaders across our country in the public and private sectors to expand family-friendly workplace policies, such as paid family leave, paid sick days, equal pay for equal work, affordable child care, and a higher minimum wage. We're thrilled that today, New York State answered the call and took an important step forward for working families when Governor Cuomo signed a budget that included paid family leave and an increase in the minimum wage. With these measures, New York became the first state to create a paid family leave program since President Obama urged states to take action in 2014, as well as the 18th state to raise its minimum wage since he urged Congress to act in 2013. The President knows working families cannot wait for Congress to move our country forward. That's why he's made progress on his own by raising the minimum wage for employees of federal contractors, strengthening overtime protections, and protecting employees of federal contractors from being retaliated against by their bosses if they discuss their wages. Americans shouldn’t need to choose between their families and making ends meet. Thanks to Governor Cuomo’s and the state legislature’s leadership, New Yorkers will now move closer to never having to face that choice, by creating a culture that rewards hard work and empowers families. I hope you’ll join us in celebrating this accomplishment. Thanks for everything you do, Valerie Valerie Jarrett Senior Advisor The White House @vj44 This email was sent to human4us@bell.net.

Congratulations governor Cuomo for signing a great budget bill!

New York leads the way and the rest of the U.S. follows. What the U.S. and the rest of the world now need is better birth control information and to implement this information you have to go back to the schools with family planning education. Why? Because international population increase is beginning to create serious problems around the world and our farm systems are finding it difficult to provide and maintain food for the billions now in need. We cannot continue to close our eyes to this problem and we cannot close our eyes when over-crowding and drought lead to civil war and genocide in countries like Syria.

 There are local solutions to the food supply problem and now that the new and cleaner and also quieter Electric Cars are on the market, they will make living in the cities popular again. We can now think of cities filled with flower gardens and fruit  trees and we can think of creating Hydroponic Green house Garden buildings. Tall skyscraper buildings with the sole purpose of growing vegetables on dozens and dozens of floors and providing employment for those seeking work.

P.S. Skyscraper building windows now have the ability to provide heat in the winter and keep the buildings cool in the summer with fantastic new material!
