The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which was enacted on 11/12/1999 by than President Bill Clinton, is the genesis and cause for the banking corruption we are now experiencing in this country. This law removed key components from the Glass-Steagall Act which was enacted on 6/6/1933 as an effective and most enduring way to ensure the integrity of our banking system. After the enactment of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley-Act, there have been an onslaught of illicit and criminal acts perpetuated by the very banks that caused the Great Depression. These banks, with impunity, have manipulated our political leaders to do their bidding. Therefore, we are requesting the Gramm-Leach-Bliley-Act and the 74 CFTC Act are reenacted to ensure our banks are not allowed to become "too big to fail" and to enact laws to protect themselves from their crimes.

WPPPP - (War Profiteers need to Pay a Percentage of their Profits) www.wpppp.org Hello and thank you for viewing and hopefully signing my Petition. This Petition is the beginning of what will be a long process in getting a “bill” to Congress; Senate and the White House. This Petition is geared to require any company, corporation, private business, nonprofit and/or anyone profiting from any war that uses any US Military Personal, to pay a percentage of their profits to the Veterans Administration. These funds will go to help our Vets and their Families. These funds will help the Troopers and their families with medical and recovery. I would not limit these funds to Post war use; I would make sure that the families here at home get funds that they need while their loved ones are away fighting these wars. These War Profiteers have made their wealth off of the blood and tears of our Military personal and their families for too long. Not only have we lost lives but some if not most that return are in need of a lifetime medical care. We have lost more than most know we lost the wisdom and knowledge of our elders. What kind of Country would we be now if we had kept all that has been lost because of wars? Require anyone making a profit from war pay for using our Men and Women to line their pockets with the blood of our loved ones. On a personal note: I understand that at certain times a War might be necessary. As in WWII, we had to do what was necessary to stop Hitler and his killing of so many people. But I realize what we lost as a Nation and Family, we lost a big part of our heritage, generations of values our troopers took with them have been taken away from us forever. I feel we have lost our way in this world and I would like to see us have a chance to rebuild and give our lost values a chance to reestablish. We need to pull together as Americans, and this includes everyone, all races, and cultures, everyone who resides in America. Let’s help our own and make these Profiteers help pay for it.

Decades ago, income tax filers could elect to donate a dollar or not to donate a dollar to Political Groups in order to seek the most honest and qualified Presidential Candidate and provide support at a very reasonable financial level. Currently, lobbyists, paid by large corporations, outspend and control our Country's political appetite with greed as their ultimate goal. This is very wrong! Let's do something about this issue NOW!

Almost all of our food supply is contaminated with genetically modified corn and/or soybeans. It is time to stop subsidizing them.

In 2011 Verizon reported earnings that more than tripled as taxes decreased and the carrier attracted new customers after introducing Apple Inc.’s iPhone. Their net income rose to $1.44 billion. Not only is this huge profit increase a result of the iphone's popularity but it is also due to the ridiculously high fees for data plans required to use it as well as other smart phones. People want the service so they pay it as they feel they have no choice. We are calling for people to stand up for their right to have and use a smartphone without having to pay astronomical amounts of money. A single data package fee for all phones on one plan to have unlimited data access is not too much to ask.

Today I have found out that the Attended Bagel Station at our HQ cafeteria will not longer exist, starting Wednesday, January 25. The management has decided to save money by not paying wages to a dedicated employee and forcing us to prepare our own bagels. It is a very disappointing decision, since what Marcia has been doing for years, was more than prepare our bagels. With her we started our day, every morning. That personal touch is something irreplaceable. Please sign this petition to let the cafeteria management know that.

The school board isn't at negotiating in good faith with the Neshaminy AFT district union. The negotiations are in their fourth year without any resolution. The school board is refusing to move from the initial hard positions.

In order to confirm Obama's supposed devotion to the poor, working and middle classes. As far as insee he has 3 options; two short term and one long term. Option one and two are to call press conferences either 1. Asking that there be no super PACS endorsing him and 2. That if there are to be super PACS that are pro Obama they should disclose donors and the long term goal number 3. That he uses any and all of his executive ability to significantly dismantle or destroy citizens united

During the past four years of recession, American families have struggled to keep their heads above water. The tax payers have been straddled with the debt of “too big to fail” financial institution bail-outs. They have watched good jobs go off-shore due to corporate sponsored government programs like NAFTA. Wages, benefits and jobs are at a fraction of what they were a few short years ago while corporate earnings soar. Meanwhile collection agencies continue taking much needed money from the shrinking monthly budgets of its targets; those with the least to spare. I am writing this in support of my fellow countrymen who are experiencing financial hardship, largely caused by the greed and misconduct of bankers and corporations. It is time we stand up and let them know that we will not sit idly by being bullied and gouged. We need to discourage these companies and their collection agencies from filing law suits or writs of garnishment. Behaving with impunity they act without mercy toward our neighbors, who are in many instances, barley staying fed and sheltered. Please help me address predatory companies by signing this petition, asking them to cease and desist from filing law suits and writs of garnishment until a true recovery has begun.

A Lincoln, Nebraska family is about to lose their home because the wife and mother in the family has cancer, and they no longer have the ability to make the payments on their sub-prime adjustable rate mortgage. The mortgage company will not work with them to help them keep their home. This is a time to negotiate--not foreclose.

It is time for New Mexico to take its money out of Wells Fargo and deposit it with our local community banks and credit unions: the institutions that support our local economies statewide. We can make a big difference in our local economy by keeping our money in New Mexico for the benefit of New Mexico's small businesses. It is time to stop sending our state's money to Wall Street and overseas; keeping it in New Mexico is the right thing to do.
