This petition calls on all congressional representatives to stand with and past the cost of living increase for all deceased veterans wives, children's, guardians and disabled veterans.

This is about not getting stuff done for the sake of the Country.

Measure Q disguises career politicians true intent to give themselves more hefty salary raises and other benefits while claiming permanent cap and transparency. Measure Q gives San Bernardino County politicians guaranteed perks at tax payers expese. 73 000 San Bernardino County tax payers approved a measure ( Measure R ) to reasonably compensate county politicians, so politicians responded by forcing deceptive Measure Q on the ballot to confuse voters claiming "more accountability - smaller government" on street signs

American public still wants to know more about Gov Romney's tax returns. He may be as much a criminal as our governor Rick Scott was---and he got elected.

Our tax code today says an Investor's income is so critical to the US Economic Engine that, after appropriate taxes, 85% should be left for the Investor. To do with as they please and which can be re-invested, saved or spent inside or outside our country; each of these with a completely different economic impact. But whatever they choose, through the tax code, we are saying that giving the Investor greater control of their $1 is a benefit to everyone and in the end becomes an economic "tide that will lift all boats". For Wage Income, since it has much less benefit to society, we only allow the Wage Earner to keep 64% of their income. This petition isn't necessarily about how I have been affected, more how our society unfairly treats Wage Income compared with Investment Income. I think it is time to take a stand against one of the most unequal aspects of our tax code. With this petition I hope to start a conversation that leads to a wider understanding and eventually to change. I submit this on behalf of anyone who's income comes from wages.

Most states have "usury" laws that limit the maximum interest rates that consumers can be charged for consumer transactions. However, due to a law originally passed in 1863, credit card companies can get around this law by simply incorporating in states such as Delaware- which have no limits on the interest rates that can be charged- and "exporting" whatever interest rate they wish to charge to anywhere in the country. This law should now be reprealed and local "usury" laws should set the maximum amount that consumers can be charged by the credit card companies.

Romney was a failure as governor because he increased the state's debt, made the state 47th in job creation, increased fees instead of taxes and ridiculed the state in speeches around the country while still governor.

Do you believe the Republicans are dissing the lower unemployment rate? They're saying it's manipulated. They don't want the economy to improve. That is UnAmerican! It proves they don't care about you and me. In my town, we are finally seeing home prices go up. Two of my friends got jobs last month after being out of work. That's progress no matter how you look at it!

What is Mitt hiding. If he is not hiding anything, He would be happy to let people know he is rich. Come clean Mitt.

On Oct. 3rd, Mitt Romney said, "I’m sorry, Jim, I’m going to stop the subsidy to PBS. I’m going to stop other things. I like PBS, I love Big Bird. Actually like you, too." Help save the Public Broadcasting Station funding by telling Romney and those who want to end Public Broadcasting and NPR by eliminating funding. Conservatives want to de-fund public television and radio on the back of Big Bird. Save Big Bird's job by signing this petition. We need 1 million signatures.

President Obama is prepping for his second debate against Mitt Romney. Romney has been citing the unemployment numbers all this time. Now he's downplaying latest number, 7.8%. It's not surprising that he was happy to talk about the figure when it was above 8%. Sure, the country could use more jobs, but the fact is that when the president took office, we were losing hundreds of thousands of jobs per month. The fact is that that during the Obama presidency, we've added jobs. Would we like to speed things up? Sure, but remember what Clinton said at the convention. The republicans feel we didn't clean up their mess quickly enough, so they want back in. Not going to happen. Let the president know that we need him to defend the progress we've made. Let him know that you want him to, "be clear" about how far we've really come since dems won the white house in 2008. We're almost there, lets not let Romney's false claims determine the winner of this election.

Why are coupon clippers subsidized with low capital gains tax rate, by income tax payers, who actually work for their income? If our society is committed to a productive citizen ethic, worker bees should be the ones subsidized by the coupon clippers, who, at most accept financial risk for their investments!
