• Banks and loaning companies putting customers ahead of shareholders
    Banks and finance industries have long forgotten that the little people keep then in buisness. Our government has allowed the special interest groups to make loansharking legal. The president has put in place walstreet insiders that protect the wealth of large banks and special interest group. They have been responsible for the current meltdown.

  • The wealthy who want equality in tax rates and no preferential treatment
    From Sandy, the originator of this petition. I am not in this income bracket, but I am really curious. I would like to know how many people who make over $500,000/year want equality in tax rates and NOT preferential treatment because they are wealthy and can afford to hire accountants and tax attorneys to find ways to pay less taxes. Income is income. AND, truly how many acknowledge they were not able to do it alone--that they benefited from public investments in infrastructure, research, public education, health care, etc? Please pass along this petition and let's see what happens. THANKS!

    I would like to know how many people in the top 1% or 5% want equality in tax rates and NOT preferential treatment because they are wealthy and can afford to hire accountants and tax attorneys to find ways to pay less taxes. Income is income.

  • US citizens answer phones
    There are many unemployed people in the United States. When you call a company these days a computer answers instead of a person. If you don't know who to contact it is very frustrating. Computer answering should be banned, all companies should be required to have a person answer the phone who is a resident of the United States and a citizen of the United States.

  • Motor Fuel Choice -- Break the Oil Oligopoly
    American's should be empowered to choose cleanest, safest, most affordable non-petroleum motor fuel that best serves their needs; today those fuels are electricity and natural gas. To make this happen auto & truck makers must be motivated to mass produce affordable natural gas and electric vehicles. Fuel developers must be motivated to deploy fuel stations in locations that meet consumer needs. This requires POLICY LEADERSHIP. I'm calling on President Obama and the Congress to enact policy that empowers the CONSUMER to CHOOSE the motor fuels and vehicles that best serve their needs.

  • Tell the President not to speak in Bank of America park
    President Obama should not accept his nomination for re-election as planned in Bank of America park in Charlotte, NC. This would send a signal to this major culprit of our financial crisis that we will not put up with their practices anymore.

  • Stimulous for seniors
    It is about helping seniors become more secure by being able to use their 401K's to pay off 1st mortgages at a much reduced capitol gains tax rate. It would free up much money to the banks and at the same time be veiwed as giving a break to seniors who have kept their mortgage contract agreement. Up until now the only ones given a break are the banks. Freeing up much money should spur more competition amongst lenders which should lower interest rates. This would also help seniors with medical expences.

  • Embargo Exports of Refined Petroleum Products
    For the last year, our largest export has been refined petroleum products. Unless exportation of gasoline and related products are ceased, gasoline prices will not decline regardless of levels of production of crude oil. The mainstream media have been ignoring the the US has been a net exporter of gasoline for over a year--at a time when Americans have been paying unnecessarily high prices at the pump.
