When IndyMac Bank failed on July 11th 2008 I was one of the uninsured depositor's that lost $105, 000.00. But if it was not for Chris Dodd, Barney Frank, and President Obama signing the Wall Street Reform the FDIC is now holding $61,000.00 of my deposits..

The practices of Big business and the people they take advantage of, you, me, the everyday hard working customer

I am sick and tired of our financial systems robbing and cheating us while nothing gets done about it! Are we really powerless? Are the people of the United States of America truly voiceless in this matter? We cannot sit back and do nothing as our elected officials have done. We have to try to change this, or the majority of us will continue to suffer while the wealthiest continue to amass greater and greater fortunes at our expense. We WILL become the new serfs of this age if we fail to act! There is, believe it or not, a silver bullet that can solve this problem if we can just persevere. There is no choice but to publicly finance the campaigns of our elected officials. Let’s take the power the banks and corporations have over our government back! If you want to do one small - yet powerful - thing, sign this petition to change our Constitution, and pass it on to others who want to stop this downward spiral. Estoy harto de que nuestros sistemas financieros nos están robando y engañando mientras nada se está haciendo al respecto! ¿Somos realmente impotentes? ¿Las personas de los Estados Unidos realmente no tienen voz en este asunto? No podemos quedarnos con los brazos cruzados y no hacer nada como nuestros funcionarios electos han hecho. Tenemos que intentar cambiar esto, o la mayoría de nosotros seguirá sufriendo mientras los más ricos siguen acumulando fortunas más y más a nuestra costa. ¡Nos convertiremos en los nuevos siervos de esta época si no actuamos!

Monsanto needs to be stopped, their patents on seeds repealed, and all the top-ranking government officials with ties to the company must be investigated and persecuted accordingly for conspiracy to commit agricultural terrorism in the USA and abroad.

The current language in all six bills "HB-4858, 4859, 4860, SB-434, 435 and 436" fails to include those, the Vendors and/or Independent Contractors who own, operate and manage their private ATMs that would or will fall, slipping through the cracks, holes or gaps in legally mandating compliance with the law, justifies our request to amend said same.

Google's motto is "Don't Be Evil," but it is supporting one of the worst climate-denier organizations in the world: the Koch-funded Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI). The Washington Post just revealed that Google was the biggest single donor to CEI's annual dinner on Thursday, June 20, dropping $50,000 in support of this anti-science group. The dinner was headlined by radical global warming denier Sen. Rand Paul. CEI's other donors include a who's who of polluters: American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity, Altria (Phillip Morris), Koch Companies, and Koch's Americans For Prosperity. CEI is famed for its ad promoting carbon dioxide emissions: "They call it pollution. We call it life." "You can lie about the effects of climate change, but eventually you'll be seen as a liar," Google chairman Eric Schmidt has said. Google has been a corporate leader in fighting climate change pollution, and its support for CEI's liars is a glaring mistake.

A direct quote from Serena Williams about the Steubenville, Ohio events: "Do you think it was fair, what they got? They did something stupid, but I don’t know. I’m not blaming the girl, but if you’re a 16-year-old and you’re drunk like that, your parents should teach you: Don’t take drinks from other people. She’s 16 - why was she that drunk where she doesn’t remember? It could have been much worse. She’s lucky. Obviously, I don’t know - maybe she wasn’t a virgin. But she shouldn’t have put herself in that position, unless they slipped her something. Then that’s different."

The Portland Press Herald has recently revealed how former corporate lobbyists in positions of power in the LePage administration, including DEP Commissioner Patricia Aho, have systematically used staff intimidation, lack of enforcement and delayed implementation of environmental and public health initiatives to benefit multi-million dollar corporations including pharmaceutical, chemical, and energy companies that were recently their clients.

Now more than ever, the United States needs a policy for genetically engineered food labeling: there are genetically engineered ingredients in up to 70 percent of the foods on grocery store shelves, the USDA is considering approving a genetically engineered apple this spring, and the FDA is nearing its approval of a genetically engineered salmon. The labeling of genetically engineered foods should be mandatory. The public has the right to make an informed choice about the food they buy for their families. Without mandatory labeling of genetically engineered foods, consumers are left in the dark. Senator Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) and Representative Peter DeFazio (D-Ore.) have sponsored new federal labeling legislation, the Genetically Engineered Food Right to Know Act (S. 809 and H.R. 1699), in the Senate and House. Take action and tell your senators and representative to support the genetically engineered food labeling bill.

Thanks to thousands of Mainers speaking up, both the House and Senate voted to pass LD 718, which will label genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in Maine. The Maine House of Representatives voted 141– 4 in favor of the bill. The Maine Senate voted 35-0 in favor of the bill. The bipartisan support for this issue has been incredible! But we still need your help to make history. The success of this bill is now in the hands of our Governor. Please sign this petition and share widely. Ask Governor LePage to sign LD 718 into law to label GMOs. Thank you to everyone who has helped get us this far. Now, let’s make the final push to make GMO labeling the law of the land in Maine!

Since 2007, our nation has been in a recession. Prince George's County is still a targeted community struggling with the highest rate of foreclosures in the state of Maryland. Countless so-called "nonprofit" agencies have absorbed millions of dollars in the name of assisting homeowners, but the money never reaches the people of Prince George's County. Banks continue to behave fraudulently. Local judicial systems turn their heads, or perhaps they do not understand or know the laws of the courts. Elected officials won't address the issues of the people who voted them into office and built the Prince George's County community. Millions of dollars have been lost and are unaccounted for. Our leaders do not demonstrate accountability. We've seen ineffective modifications that eventually lead to foreclosure and predatory lending with exceedingly high interest rates. This petition is a call to action to keep our homes and the land we live on in Prince George's County. STOP foreclosures. Eliminate spectators coming into our community.

Tires Plus did not perform their duties and it caused by engine to seize and now I am paying $5,300 for a new engine and they will not accept responsibility for what happened. They cover up their mistakes by giving their stores 7 days to make things look perfect and it allows their claims department to deny claims.......
