• Lower statute of limitations for suing on old debt
    After a terrifying few years of layoffs and foreclosures, many companies are now coming after those who have owed them money from several years ago. Just as people are getting back on their feet and employed, they are hit with their old debt and knocked back down again. We need to be allowed to get back on our feet. The banks have already gotten their money in the form of federal bailouts. It's time they leave us alone to rebuild our economy.

  • Allow the Unemployed Penalty-Free Access to Their Retirement Accounts
    I've been unemployed for over two years and had to make the painful decision to take regular distributions from my IRA in order to pay my mortgage, utilities and creditors. This was unavoidable and, I believe, an honorable, responsible action on my part. However the IRS has penalized me 10% on every distribution...because unemployment is not one of the exceptions allowed under the law.

  • Student loan forgiveness
    If the President and Congress really wanted to jumpstart our economy they would pass legislation to partially / fully forgive any/all outstanding college loans. With additional spendable income many of these college grads would either spend more on durable goods or save it for down payments on homes, cars or other large ticket items.

  • Cut Congress and Representatives pay
    Lowering the current deficite appears to be the focus of the current Congress and Senate. They are hell bent on cutting the programs that assist many during this economical downfall. If they are as serious as they claim they are they should start with their salary's. If they expect us all to make concessions then they should lead by example and start with their salary.

  • BOYCOTT BEST BUY STORES
    Best Buy has the worst return policy in America, PERIOD! I recently visited my local Best Buy store in Roseville, Michigan to return a gift that was paid for with cash and I was given the receipt. I thought this would be a quick in and out. However, I was told that because the item was more than 30 days I could not return the item. What is worse is that I was not able to exchange or get in-store credit for the item and was basically told to get lost. Now I am forced to sell my gift on ebay at a loss and Best Buy keeps the profit!

  • THE PEOPLES' PLEDGE
    Elected officials should not make commitments or promises to lobbyists or other politically motivated entities that obligate them to compromise thier duties to their constituents or to the nation. Many elected officials have done just that by signing the "Taxpayer Protection Pledge" which obligates them to oppose all efforts to raise taxes or eliminate deductions not matched by further tax reductions regardless of the needs of the nation. By signing this pledge we, as the electorate, tell them that abdicating their responsibilities is unacceptable.
