Our daughter Brittani was killed in a tragic and brutal car accident three days before her twenty-third birthday—just a week before her college graduation. Brittani had dedicated her life to serving people and making people's lives better. She had her whole life ahead of her. When Brittani died, she still had student loans to pay off, and for more than three years Citibank demanded repayment from our family. While we grieved, Citibank continued to demand payment, and we struggled to pay these bills monthly. Our family is lucky. After more than three years of begging and pleading with Citibank, we started an online petition. With the help of our friends, MoveOn, and so many others, our petition spread fast. And once Citibank started to feel public pressure, they agreed to forgive Brittani's student debt. But we're not the only ones who have had this experience with Citibank and other big banks. Citibank received a taxpayer bailout, while most families get no help when they need it most. No one should have to go through think kind of ordeal. Citibank should institute a policy of student loan forgiveness when a student dies and stop going after family members.

IF MITT ROMNEY WINS THE KOCH BROTHERS WILL RUN THIS COUNTRY< THE BROTHERS ARE FOR THE RICH ONLY NOT FOR MIDDLE CLASS AND BELOW. VOTE FOR PRESIDENT OBAMA FOR EQUALITY.

My petition is supporting President Barack Obama in his re-election for President of the United States because his election brought about som much needed "Diversity." Diversity versus Racism: A Challenge to Mankind, my new book will tell you why and how destiny has intervened in the Life of "America." I know it may sound weird but I believe President Obama is destined to solve America's economic woes and financial crisis. So before you vote, give this serious consideration.

Corporate and super-pac campaign contributions are perverting what's left of our democracy. The Citizens United decision by the Supreme Court makes corporations equivalent to persons. If that is the case, can't we legally restrict each "citizen" to one vote? Let's limit all citizens to contributions of no more than $100 for any campaign. I can afford to put my $100 up against David Koch's $100 any day. This will level the playing field and will end the practice of the rich being more "people" than the rest of us.

This petition is about reversing the media consolidation by implementing limitations on the number of TV, radio, and print news mediums a person or corporation can control in a local media market.

A petition to the moderator of the presidential debate to ask each candidate to take a stand on the reinstatement of the Glass-Steagall Act, aka, the Banking Act of 1933 that limited commercial bank securities activities and affiliations between commercial banks and securities firms.

The American public needs to realize that they have the most power to change this country by controlling where they spend their money. If people would join forces and only buy from responsible (in every way) companies / corporations, the public could run corpoartions out of the country that didn't pay their fair share of taxes, control the government by purchasing them, weren't environmentally responsible and participated in off shoring our jobs.

The President has asked for them, the media have asked for them, and fellow Republicans have asked for them. Still, Mitt Romney has refused to fully release his tax returns like every other candidate has done for decades. Maybe he'll do it if the people ask. Help us get enough signatures that he can't ignore us.

To avoid disclosure, billionaires are laundering their campaign donations through so-called 'social welfare' nonprofits (in IRS language, 501c4's). These organizations are tax-exempt and don't have to disclose the names of donors, supposedly because they are charitable, but in reality many of them exist for the purpose of electioneering. That means we the taxpayers are giving a free ride to the wealthy corporations and individuals who are buying our government, while we can't even find out who they are. The IRS could stop this practice by applying strict rules, but they are dragging their feet, saying they 'plan to look at' the problem sometime. We need transparency NOW.

In Europe Monsanto has publicly stated that food labeling has Monsanto’s full backing and that Monsanto fully supports food manufacturers and retailers in their introduction of labels on genetically engineered food in Europe. We request that the Monsanto Company look carefully at its own principles, code of conduct, and previous statements, and reconsider its position on the labeling of genetically engineered food in California. We believe that the respectful and ethical choice is for Monsanto to publicly endorse California’s PROPOSITION 37 - the November, 2012 ballot initiative to require labeling of genetically modified foods sold in California. Monsanto pledges on its website to demonstrate integrity, respect, ethical behavior, perspective and honesty in everything its employees, contractors and management do. Monsanto also pledges to provide extensive educational programs, and to “ensure that information is available, accessible, and understandable.” In the U.S. Monsanto continues to oppose the labeling of genetically engineered foods, even though it would indicate they contain Monsanto’s own products. Monsanto currently complies with labeling regulations in the European Union. Why is the U.S. different? Why does Monsanto hide from us what they readily provide to the people of Europe? People have a right to know what ingredients are in their food. Millions of people are concerned about genetically engineered food for reasons related to environment, health, and/or social issues, and want genetically engineered food to be labeled. As a matter of integrity their concerns should be respected. Current regulations in California and the U.S. do not require labeling of genetically engineered food. California’s Proposition 37 would require that genetically engineered food sold at retail in California be labeled. 970,000 signatures were gathered in California to place Prop 37 on the ballot. Many more consumers in California, the U.S. and the world want to be told if their food contains genetically modified ingredients. We call upon the Monsanto Company to endorse Proposition 37, the California Right to Know Initiative, that would require genetically engineered food to be labeled in retail food products in California.

Truth and transparency in political bid for President demands that the citizens know their candidates integrity and character. Many of us have repeatedly asked for your tax returns to no avail. Please show us now!

Since Reagan repealed the Fairness Doctrine in the mid 1980's, our airwaves have been chocked full of lies, deliberate misrepresentations and slander. Presented in a format imitating real news, it suggest these misleading comments are true and unbiased. It has created a dangerous arena for balanced political equality. It is time to reinstate this law and get back to serving the public's interest.
