Boycott Walmart in Pawleys IslandSince we already have two other Walmarts nearby, another big box store is not needed in Pawleys Island, SC. A 2005 Lowe's effort to locate in Pawleys Island was rejected. As we've stated previously, big box stores are incompatible with many aspects of our small community. We treasure our small businesses, many of which would be adversely affected. Traffic could increase dramatically, and big box stores offer little or nothing that is not already available to us. Please also log on to the Georgetown Times home page at www.gtowntimes.com and complete the one-question survey (on the right side of the home page) concerning a Walmart in Pawleys Island (answer only once - duplicates will be excluded).2,161 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Terry Munson

Bring back capitalism.The housing crisis started because investors were losing money from foreclosures not having enough equity to pay off the outstanding mortgages, capitalism. The capitalistic response was to modify homeowners with negative equity, but since there were and still are over 11 million homeowners with negative equity Wall Street with the governments blessing are limiting the volume of modifications being issued based on socialistic stipulations prolonging the housing crisis and violating the laws and principle of capitalism and business destroying Main Street's economy. The governments job is to protect Main Street from failing not the Banks, 99% vs.1%.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Susan Day-Minerly

Stop Manipulating Consumers Through NoiseOn July 28, 2012 The New York Times published an investigative article on noise, revealing that high decibel levels in restaurants and clothing stores, to name a few, make patrons consume more and consume faster. Noise has been linked to increased hypertension and heart disease. As a teacher of voice and ear training, I am seeing the day to day damage inflicted by corporate greed on youg eardrums and vocal folds. We are calling on corporate America to stop putting employees and patrons at risk in the name of greed. We are calling on them to reduce the decibel level intheir establishments.But repeated exposure to loud noise often damages hearing and has been linked to higher levels of stress, hypertension and heart disease.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Anita J Lenhart

Veterans Victimized by Schools and BankingMy son returned from Iraq in 2009 with 80 weeks of medical training that included Combat Medic School and Nursing School at Walter Reed for one year. He applied to Cal State Sacramento for admission to their school of nursing and was told that they do not give any credit for his military training an experiences. I followed the money to find out why. The money trail goes to the 90-10 loophole in the student loan law that gives for profit schools $145,000 in Federal student loans for non veterans. The loophole and the lack of transfer ability of military training keeps veterans in school longer and out of the employment market. HR 4055 will close the loophole but it has little chance of debate on the House floor since the Republican Leadership is blocking it using money that they received from veterans enrollment in their fro profit schools!!32 of 100 SignaturesCreated by The Dad

Stop stealing from the top, that is why you Rich people trying to tell us how to survive on pennies.Stop our Representatives from getting their hands on money that is originally for the people from cashing in on what is meant for the people. When a Representative find monies that is meant for all the people, they need to plan a budget around who are to receive the monies and give people a chance to apply for it before they tell people who are their friends and family. We have so many people stealing from the top that we don't have anything trickling down to the people that really need it.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Beverly J

Fix Unfare Fees of the Public Defender's OfficeIf a consumer comes to court without an attorney, he or she is directed to the public defenders' office by the courts as an option to be represented. However, what is not explain to the consumer by staff of the Public defenders' office that, If the consumer changes options to seeing a public defender than obtain an attorney. But has already singed in at the window, the consumer must pay a fifty dollar fee, for "only"signing the sheet to see a public defender. The Public Defenders' fee at the window is an unfair charge imposed on the consumer. I ask that fees are suspended, if the consumer's decision changes with regards to seeing a public defender.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Roshanda
