Total Forgivness of Student Loans for Americans Earning 250K Annually or Less.Yes: I'm faced with 25K to 30K in student loans which is like this huge avalanche waiting to come tumbling down upon me soon. The President can sign an Executive Order forgiving all outstanding student loan debt for all Americans earning 250K or less annually as an excellent stimulus for Poor and Middle-Class Americans.79 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mr. Imhotep Mustaqeem

Reform The Federal Reserve BankWe need to reform the Federal Reserve Bank to create new owners of future productive capital investment in businesses simultaneously with the growth of the economy. The solution to broadening private, individual ownership of America's future capital wealth requires that the Federal Reserve stop monetizing unproductive debt, including bailouts of banks "too big to fail" and Wall Street derivatives speculators, and begin creating an asset-backed currency that could enable every man, woman and child to establish a Capital Homestead Account or "CHA" (a super-IRA or asset tax-shelter for citizens) at their local bank to acquire a growing dividend-bearing stock portfolio to supplement their incomes from work and all other sources of income. Policies need to insert American citizens into the low or no-interest investment money loop to enable non- and undercapitalized Americans, including the working class and poor, to build wealth and become "customers with money." The proposed Capital Homestead Act would produce this result.221 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Gary Reber

Mr. President, please properly leverage the "fiscal cliff" law in order to fairly tax super wealt...I, as an American citizen, am concerned about the national deficit and ever-widening income gap. I am most concerned with unfunded tax cuts that help those that don't necessarily need it while also feeding income inequality between the rich and the middle class . By the deadline of midnight, December 31, 2012, please negotiate with Congress a fair and amicable solution that addresses both of these concerns, while properly leveraging the "fiscal cliff" in such negotiations.73 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Clint Reamer

North Tulsa DevelopmentOur community is falling apart. In the area of 36 to 46 street North in Tulsa, Oklahoma; the area known as “Northridge” needs renovation and development. As citizens, the people in North Tulsa have the right to have their neighborhood's urbanized and renovated to promote community development for all areas of Tulsa. Our duty as tax payers and citizens give us the right to fight for equal opportunities as a community and resident of Tulsa, Oklahoma. "The Northridge shopping center" needs to be called just that and the area needs retail outlets, grocery stores, political work stations, and more corporate activities designed to help the citizens in North Tulsa and Turley Oklahoma live more economical. Within these areas, the purpose of development and renovation is to aid in creating more jobs opportunities for North Tulsa and more economical ways to grow as a district by giving Northridge outlets to help those within the North side district take advantage of community based activities to promote health and wellness as citizens. Renovation in North Tulsa will bring our crime percentage down, help families to grow and get degrees, produce more revenues as tax payers, and create a new Tulsa with hope to focus on the low income communities. This will also help those on government assistant programs be a productive citizens by helping them get off of government programs and allowing them a opportunity in corporate america.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by marvin bizzell

Solve the Fiscal Cliff Now!We ask that the President of the United States of America, Barack Obama, immediately call an emergency session of Congress to solve the Fiscal Cliff before the New Year, and that he resolve to keep Congress in session through the holidays if necessary until the crisis is resolved. We also ask that the President also resolve not to punt the issue down the road. This fiscal cliff will result in a second recession and the loss of millions of American Jobs if it is not solved now. It will make deep cuts to Medicare and raise taxes on the Middle Class if it is not resolved now. We simply cannot afford another do-nothing Congress. We the American people who stand to lose our livelihoods if this issue is not resolved, demand that this issue be resolved now, and that Congress remain in an emergency session of congress until it is resolved.125 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Jonathan Fitch

Raising the age of dependents on TaxesDue to the lack of employment and the weak housing market people have begun to live with their relatives, causing them to be 50% to 100% dependent on their family. If laws would increase the age of dependents to 65 years of age, that will give those who are helping out their family some kind of tax relief.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Brewer
