				<description>&lt;p&gt;Petition:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We, the undersigned, call and urge our leaders {State Senator} to take action to STOP! Floor Covering Installation Ads TV, Radio Ads, Posters: {$99.00 or Less} For a Full House to be installed. Self-employed {Floor covering} Sub-Contractors Are Having to Work more for less money, Because of these Ads and Posters that Lowes, Carpet One are advertising. Now Mom &amp;amp; Pop Stores are saying they're having to drop Labor Prices. This is All a Lie to the Public. No installer can Afford to work for this Price, {$99.00} For a Full House to be installed. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We Live in Oklahoma already the labor Pricing is 25-30% lower &amp;amp; Now we have to deal with the stores hiring Other Minority/ Nationalities &amp;#8211; Legal or Not. (I want to make this clear, I am not against any other nationality working in any field of their choice, as long as they agree to work for fair Labor Pricing, because if they are working for 3 times less&amp;#8230; than we are out of a job.) Wither or not the stores owners are paying the installers more money than the $99&amp;#8217;s &amp;#8230; This has caused a &amp;#8220;BIG&amp;#8221; impact on self-employed sub-contractors. The Store is the Beneficiaries. They put the &amp;#8220;Labor&amp;#8221; price on the merchandise and STILL charge and take the $99.00 Installers supply their own tools, gas, vehicle, insurance, supplies to do a job, work clothes, SHOULD NOT installers be able to set their Labor Prices The Stores already takes 10% from them right off the top of their Check. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These Ads and Posters Should Be Taken Off the Air Wave, It has Cause the Installers &amp;amp; their Family not to be able to make a Living. These Ads Are Starving Installers and Is A Lie To The Public!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sign the petition&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/save-installers-jobs.html"&gt;http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/save-installers-jobs.html&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;</description>
