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

Shop LocalThe average person in the U.S. every year spends more than $500 on holiday gifts and almost $200 on cards, flowers and food. By spending at least half that at an independent business makes a huge impact in your local community. That's because money spent locally is more likely to stay local, which helps support local schools, local police, local roads.15 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ester Venouziou
