Student Loan-ForgivenPresident Obama once said at the beginninjg of his presidency that a person who is faithfully paying a student loan, after 10years the student should be forgiven. A working citizen who is working and struggling to pay off a student loan should get some relief from paying after 10 years. Americans get loans to have a better career and better jobs that offers decent life styles. However, dream is somehow, impossible to have because, besides having to worry for mortgage, rent, bills , there is the worry of having to pay student loan. It seems that the loan amount never decreases but it accrues interest.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Grace Estrada

Make college affordableWe are proposing a petition that would haul government officials from making on-going budget cuts on colleges and universities in America. Our research has shown that the budget cuts have worsened the situation of saving money rather then making it better. By making classes bigger due to the high amount of professors being laid off, a lot of students have not received the best education that they deserve. We believe that the best investment a human-being can make is to invest in their education because this is a tool that has no replacement. Everyone should have the right to a strong education without having to worry about the monetary payments that come with it.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Humberto Ramos

Eliminate Student Loan DebtPeople who owe more than 20,000 on Student Loans, have not been able to pay them for over 10 years, and have been unable to pay them because they just don't make enough money, should have their loans forgiven. Currently, their is a limit on how many deferences due to economic hardship a graduate can get and forbearance just makes the loan worse because they capitalize the interest thus increasing the loan!13 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jamie Trammel

Save Old Torrence-Lytle High: The Only Former Black School In Northern Meck. CountyTorrence-Lytle High School in Huntersville, NC was build tin 1937, had only one principal, Isaac T. Graham and one librarian, Esther S. Johnson. In 1966, the only school for blacks in the northern end of Mecklenburg County was closed. Today it has the designation of a historic landmark but some buildings may be slated for demolition because refurbishing them will cost millions. Several companies have created plans to buy the site but none were successful. We're seeking individuals who believe that this site should be saved and brought back to its original character where individuals of all nationalities can walk the sacred halls of my Alma mater.134 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Betty Caldwell
