• Lower Taxes for income under $100,000 on a sliding scale
    Petition is about taxes & the ceiling on prices are much too high for income of $100,000 & under, especially during these times when prices on everything have been raised due to oil & gas price increases. People within this range of income should sign petition because the 1% isnt paying as much as they should be. For ex: republican candidate is paying same ount of taxes as his secretary whose income is no where near as high as his. Also corporations have raised their prices on everything the consumer "needs" to buy (including food) to compensate their consumption price increases. Ex: Cereal companies, etc. have raised their prices considerably since the countries financial deficit syemming from stock market issues, gas increases, heating homes, electricity, etc.

  • Tell PA Legislators- Quit ALEC or join the GOP
    There are at least two Democratic PA legislators who are members of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC). Those legislators are Rep. Joseph Petrarca (D, Armstrong, Westmoreland) and Rep. W. Curtis Thomas (D, Philadelphia). ALEC is not a lobby; it is not a front group. It is much more powerful than that. Through ALEC, behind closed doors, corporations hand state legislators the changes to the law they desire that directly benefit their bottom line. Corporations fund almost all of ALEC's operations. Participating legislators, overwhelmingly conservative Republicans, then bring those proposals home and introduce them in statehouses across the land as their own brilliant ideas and important public policy innovations—without disclosing that corporations crafted and voted on the bills. Our last petition worked- Rep. Kotik, Sen. Williams and Sen. Boscola have quit ALEC! New documents found that there are 2 more PA Dems in ALEC. Sign this petition and get the last two Dems to quit.

  • credit Card Interest Regulations
    Most, if not all, credit cards carry an exhorbitant interest rate, making it take literally YEARS to pay off the damn things. Interest rates on credit cards should be slashed at least in half, and you know what?? I bet the banks will still be making tons of money in profits for their limousines, mansions, and oh yeah, maybe to pay their fair share of TAXES too.

  • Freddie Mac: Help your underwater borrowers
    Recently the federal government and 49 state attorneys general concluded a settlement with the country’s five largest mortgage loan servicers that forces them to do more for their underwater borrowers. Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are not parties to this settlement despite the fact that they own billions of dollars of underwater mortgage loans. We are calling on President Obama to force these quasi-government agencies to follow the terms of the settlement.

  • Oil and gasoline prices need to be lowered by government control
    Gasoline and oil prices are double what they were a year ago. Even last year rich oil barrons were making billioms in profits and now they are quadrupling profits at the AMerican tax payers expense. Many American soldiers have sacrificed and died to protect oil american interests. We Americans have every right to control fuel prices. Many politcians, like Obama, receive lucrative donations from oil companies to ensure they control prices. It is time for American mass to control oil prices. Did you know Venesualians pay less than one dollar per gallon. For our country,s sake , please sign this petition to cut gasoline costs in half. We need 50 signatures by November 2012.

    Simplicity and clarification of credit card agreements. Remove the confusing, unnecessary and unclear terminology from legal documents.

  • JPMorgan and Friends Needs Regulation
    We missed the opportunity to regulate bank trading and JPMorgan the poster bank had a $2+ billion loss from a failed hedging strategy. The bank executives have not learned anything, and their company is too big for them to manage.
