Stop Oil Speculators from inflating gas pricesGas prices most places are pushing $4 a gallon - again. And news reports say it could be $5 or more by summertime. That’s outrageous – and unjustified. I think Congress should pass legislation that aims to drastically limit the ability of speculators to artificially drive up energy prices. If this bill passes, there would be the first-ever limits on how much of the oil market speculators can control. The chief cosponsor of my bill is Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-WV). Plain and simple: this legislation says no single investor could hold more than 5 percent of the oil futures market, thereby greatly reducing speculators ability to manipulate prices.

Tell the DOJ to investigate the highly questionable business practices of Yelp.comHow many stories do we have to hear about Yelp.com unfairly filtering good reviews and keeping up bad reviews when a merchant refuses to pay for advertising with them? Business are being deprived of not only due process, but good reputations are being permanently damaged with no recourse. Enough is enough.24 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Julie Mains

Mismanagement of Mortgage Modification by CitiMortgageWe requested CitiMortgage to modify our mortgage because our home was "underwater". We started the process in October, 2011. We have responded to each request for documents - now totaling 120 pages. The requests for documents continue to February 20, 2012, in which they requested ten additional documents (four of which have already been FAXED previously). Now then entire process has become capricious and arbitrary. We are appealing for your help and the help of the State Attorney General of Minnesota.13 of 100 SignaturesCreated by David and Judy Schuelke

Richard Cordray: Stop mortgage settlement funds from helping banks!Some cities are using mortgage settlement funds which should go to the poor and misplaced for housing, to help banks/lenders demolish 'underwater' houses! This is outrageous. Funds need to be directed to those who were/are foreclosure victims, to obtain housing they can afford!3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Will Osborn

Brain 'Taxing' ConsumerismAs a group, large Corporations spend billions of dollars on advertising on the premise that we will buy into their products/services simply by "hitting" us over the head until we become brainwashed by their message (think Coca-Cola). Usually, the products that we buy are inferior to their smaller competitors in the marketplace. These smaller companies have much smaller advertising budgets, so are "drowned out" in today's noisy, relentless struggle for the consumers attention and subsequent hard earned cash. It's time a level playing field was introduced based on creativity and ingenuity... Products should be judged by their stand-alone quality, not available advertising $$$, equally pitted against one another just as true Capitalism originally intended. This would ensure that inferior products would be marginalized and superior ones would serve their consumers. Survival of the fittest, not the diabolically sweetest (think Coca-Cola).2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mark Skelton

Limit business contributions to political campaignsIt was not the intention of American's founding fathers to encourage tyranny and manipulation of our political system by any entity, whether government, business, or religion. Rather, it was their intention that ordinary citizens be protected against such tyrannies, and to that end the Declaration of Independence was written and ratified. To the extent that corporations can outspend ordinary citizens in access to the politicians and lobbying for business interests, it creates a tyranny. The Supreme Court decision granting corporations unlimited right to contribute to politicians and policital causes should be overturned by a Federal constitutional amendment ratified in all 50 stattes.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by suzanne clemenz
