The last couple of years have had a great number of buzzards circling the Postal Service, trying to pick it apart and completely obliterate it. They are doing this for one reason and one reason only. That is so they can claim it for themselves and rip off the American public. Congress, under the Bush administration caused the Postal Service great problems by enacting a law requiring it to prefund future retiree health benefits through the year 2075 and doing it all within a 10 year period. That means that the Postal Service has to put 5.5 Billion dollars into the Treasury on Sept. 1 every year. It starts its fiscal year $5-1/2billion in the red or $55Billion by 2916, That is absurd and no other company or agency in America is mandated to do anything even close to that. The Postal Service has also overpaid into the Civil Service and Federal Employee Health funds over the past 49+ years due to an accounting error to the tune of around $75billion. This has absolutely been documented by the GAO and the OIG. Congress can fix the Postal Service by suspending the future payments and returning at least a portion of the money it is owed. Nothing else needs to be done, except maybe to get rid of about 60% of the management staff which is way overbloated with friends and relatives of higher ups. Congress needs to know America wants the same, only better, Postal Service it has come to expect for the last thousand years. SAVE AMERICA'S POSTAL SERVICE. Thank you.

In 1997 the fairness doctrine was abolished. Since then, things we used to call facts are now only viewed as opinions. No one can truly understand an issue if they are continually presented with only one side of an issue. Since 1997, the growth of hate radio has encouraged divisiveness and hatred instead of community and commonality of thought. We have become polarized and see only one side of every story. Those who wish to control the conversation use fear, anger, envy and prejudice to reinforce their ideas. Ignorance has made a few very shallow men very powerful. It's time we all heard the other side...of every issue.

Special interest money influencing government policy is killing government of the people. It's the most important issue facing the nation; we need to have publicly funded election campaigns and strong limits on lobbying!

Poverty guidelines do not match today’s cost of living. We want the government to set realistic poverty guidelines, so citizens can maintain a decent standard of living and save for their future. The income guidelines that the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) follows to determine eligibility is the current poverty guidelines which have not changed in many years. The poverty guidelines also do not take into factor the cost of living and where you live in the country which varies from state to state.

Unless repealed, this law signed by Gov. R Scott (R) will go into effect on July l. Many innocent, defenseless small animals will die, discarded down the toilet as they are overcome by the toxic dyeing process. Please take action on this issue!

A nationwide petition to amend the constitution that all members of congress both the senate and congress can not serve more than two consecutive terms, just like the president. That will go a long way to stopping the influence of big corporations from owning our government. Then our representatives will spend time doing their job instesd of constantly raising money.

The Supreme Court is supposed to be a non-biased, bi-partisan judiciary capable of dealing with the most critical issues facing Americans today. This court, possibly more than any other in history, has shown they are nothing more than an embarrassingly biased group of political infants. This is simply unacceptable.

Sign my petition and let's help limit all Denver Parking Bureau tickets to $15 or less. It's astounding the amount of money they suck out of hard-working people for nonsense, revenue gaining offenses. Let Denver mayor Michael B. Hancock know how absurd parking tickets in Denver have become.

We must stop Wall Street and Banks from taking our homes. Write down all Underwater mortgages to current market value, reduce the interest rate and provide us with fixed monthly payments. Families are being torn apart, children and seniors are suffering. People are dying and Banks are slow to respond if they respond at all.

that anybody or everybody could be held with suspicion and can be held captive by the goverment without fair trial. if this the case then this petition could help create a bill to prevent the USA from becoming a new age facism. to stop the destruction of our country from within. we need your help to make this petition possible.

Without a fair election system, our democracy will perish. Currently, corporations and wealthy individuals are able to donate unlimited funds, sometimes anonymously, to support the politicians that represent their interests. But the vast majority of Americans can't afford to fund candidates that represent their interests. We want unlimited, anonymous donations out of politics to create a level playing field for candidates who represent the 99%.

Dear MoveOn Member; My name is Retina Dawson. I am a Georgia Homeowner who has and continues to be negatively affected by fraudulent foreclosure practices and predatory lending practices in Georgia. I am writing to request your support and attention to a matter that has affected me personally and continues to have a negative impact on Georgia Citizens such as myself, who are homeowners. In order to stop the disparity that has occurred in real estate as a result of the fraudulent foreclosure practices, and protect vulnerable Georgia Citizens there are two vital steps that need to be taken: 1. Ask your State Representative to VOTE NO to Bill HB 237 in its present state seen as "current version" on the General Assembly web site 2. Ask your State Representative to initiate a Bill that would end Non - Judicial Foreclosures and strike "Waiving of Grantors Rights" Mortgage Clauses in Georgia. HB 237 in it's present state does not offer the protection for Georgia citizens from banks that have the power ,money and privilege to issue foreclosure notices without proper due diligence and oversight of required administrative mortgage records. HB 237 should not be passed without proper amendments. HB 237 is weak in it's current state because it lacks the following: 1. No mention of foreclosure fraud, only mortgage fraud! 2. No mention of corporations, only individuals! 3. Sec. 2 will make it harder for citizens to sue banks(sters) for their illegal deeds. Banks will claim it all was an "error." 4. Section 3 (current revisions) removes the power of the Attorney General to conduct criminal investigations involving "fraudulent real estate transactions..." as was in the original bill. Note: in Section 2 of HB 237 "mistakes, inadvertent misstatements, or omissions contained in previously filed documents" must be removed. It is long standing practice that you can correct scrivener's errors, but 'mistakes, mis-statements, omissions? When these amount to breaking the law, they must not be excused. If "oops-errors" amount to fraud, if they hurt a citizen, then the citizen should in no way be hindered from filing suit. The language "An offense of residential mortgage fraud shall not be predicated solely upon..." "oops" information....." will hinder this. The bank(sters) can't be allowed to just say "oops let us do that again," any more than a citizen who takes a TV home that they didn't pay for can say "oops, I'll take it back." Banks have been given far too much power, privilege and leeway in Georgia to take the homes of hardworking citizens, they certainly should not receive another legal "pass" to trample on the rights and protections of Georgia homeowners who are the most vulnerable. This economic and housing crisis is not one of mortgage fraud, as much as it is one of foreclosure fraud. The original version of HB 237- while not saying "foreclosure fraud" directly - did allow for the AG to investigate "fraudulent real estate transactions.." It's bad enough that the state via the much inflated AG Settlement took the money from the banksters in exchange for an agreement not to prosecute or to turn a blind eye to the massive injustices on GA citizens and then our Government decided without any consideration of it's citizens to use some of the money for purposes other than the relief it was intended for; now, to introduce and pass (Senate) legislation that hampers individual citizens filing suit is just too much!. Non - Judicial Foreclosures violate every citizens right to due process. Currently mortgages in the state of Georgia are written with a "Waiver of Grantors Rights" clause that indicates the mortgagee waives their 5th and 14th amendment rights and if found to be in default they agree to Non-Judicial foreclosure. It is unconstitutional for citizens to have to waive their constitutional rights in order to purchase a home to reside in. If this "Waiver of Grantors Rights" notice and the Non- Judicial Foreclosures were to be eliminated as an option and stricken from the language in Georgia Mortgages, then Georgia Citizens would have stronger opportunities to be protected from fraudulent predatorial foreclosure practices that currently occur via U.S. mail and an announcement in the newspaper in the State of Georgia. I urge you to sign this petition and contact your State Representative to protect the vulnerable citizens of Georgia from ongoing predatory mortgage practices and fraudulent foreclosures. Please use your influence as a voter and a citizen, to stop this legislation and get it amended as well as introduce a Bill that would end Non-Judicial Foreclosures and Waiver of Grantors Rights Mortgage clauses. Time is of essence.. Sincerely, Retina Dawson
