• Require that Freddie Mac allow refinancing of mortgages they hold resulting in lower interest cha...
    I have been personally affected;. I have been barred from refinancing my home since 2009 because I refinanced before May of 2009. Freddie Mac rules, with no explanation of why, will not allow me to refinance. If I and others were allowed to do so, we could reduce mortgage interest rates on existing loans and save thousands of dollars per year. In my case, I would save about $5000 per year. I have already done a petition you can view here by copying and pasting thiks link in your address bar: http://wh.gov/IjfU

  • Show your Support for Cascadia’s Classified Staff!
    In July, Washington State’s community college system imposed a year-long 3% salary reduction on all classified employees. Since then, WPEA – one of the unions representing classified state employees - has secured a commitment from several colleges to “mitigate” the salary reduction by offering overtime opportunities. To date, Cascadia has NOT agreed to mitigate, ignoring the financial hardship being imposed on the lowest paid employees in our community college system. Please sign this petition to show your support for Cascadia’s classified staff in seeking mitigation of the 3% salary reduction.

  • Allow The Bush Tax Cuts To Expire
    The Bush tax cuts were designed by the wealthy for the wealthy. When Bill Clinton was president everyone did just fine without these tax cuts. There were 23 million jobs created under Bill Clinton in an expanding economy with government budget surpluses becoming the new routine. It's time we return to those years by allowing the Bush tax cuts to just expire.

  • Tax rate Increase
    The person most responsible now to get a deal before the end of the year is Speaker John Boehner. He must be informed that the people of the United States have spoken clearly and we want him to compromise and raise the tax rates to 39% on people earning in excess of $250,000.00.

  • Cut the Military Perks
    Top military brass enjoy outlandish free services, entertainment, travel and other perks. No Secretary of Defense has proven powerful enough to cut them, including the officers' clubs. Unlike social and entitlement cuts, there is little recessionary impact from eliminating them.

  • Every one should have a driver license
    There is people who used to have a driver's license but now they are driving without because someone with racist ideas past this law in california. People need to drive to go to work, take their children to school and have to work at night time. It is not safe not to give a license to working people. There is no record of them if they don't have a license. I have been affected by this law. When people do not have a lincense they can be responsible when accident happen.

  • Taxing the Wealthy
    It is unfair that the poor and middle class pay more taxes then the wealthy corporations and all those who make over $250,000.00. Some of these people work in our Congress and Senate.
