Eliminate unfair Denver parking ticketsSign 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.8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Casey Buckler

Stop Taking Our PropertyWe 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.8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Sue

Corporations Should Not Buy our ElectionsWithout 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%.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by stacie borrello

Stop the Banks from Hurting Georgia HomeownersDear 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 Dawson29 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Retina Dawson

Eliminate Capitalistic-Military RegimeThe United States has become a Capitalistic-Military controlled nation because the founding documents, Bill of Rights, Constitution (USC) and Declaration of Independence (DI), have been ignored by We The People. With the DI being the document which led to the revolt against England and United the colonies it also became the foundation for the constitution. With the DI being written to prohibit injustice, such as we have in the United States now, it's as much a law as is the constitution as the foundation, or cause, for it. With that being the facts, the DI is to be used as the plum line by which the Constitution's interpretations are measured. When the Supreme Court declared citizenship to corporations as a person, with no certificates revealing mothers, fathers, dates, times, delivering doctors or places of birth, it set the foundation for the Capitalistic-Military Regime we have in place to be implemented by the Patriot Act. Their saying money is "free speach" bought the leadership, Legislators, Administrator and Judiciary. The administration branch controls the military HOMELAND SECURITY, Militarizing Police Forces and the Patriot Act as the means to control The People. This was allowed because we the people, as provided by the Constitution's Preamble and Amendment 10, do not fulfill our requirement to overthrow the government, demanded by the USC and DI. Although not the intent when written, Amendment 12, with the surgery Amendment 24 amended into it, provides us the means of doing it from the poles. It reads with the surgery as the following. ""The Electors {amended to the people by Amendment 24 after the electors present them to the people who interview them ensuring they will work to acheive the Preamble and protect the constitution WITH THEIR LIVES before the primary} shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves; they shall name in their ballots the person voted for as President, and in distinct ballots the person voted for as Vice-President, and they shall make distinct lists of all persons voted for as President, and of all persons voted for as Vice-President and of the number of votes for each {This is the primary election, citizens of each state selects presidents and vices to vote on for their candidate to the national election in November eliminating 1) candidates naming themelves, 2) parties, 3) campaigning, 4) contributions and, 5) conventions}, which lists they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the seat of the government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate; The President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates and the votes shall then be counted; {and notify each household in the nation of all candidates, including if they are willing to work toward achieving the Constitution's Preamble and protect it WITH THEIR LIVES} {Without one state or DC (per Amendments 14 & 24) electing the incumbent president and vice neither will be in November's election; should all states and DC elect them there will not be a November Presidential election. The following takes place after the November election and prior to the congressional districts elect their electors, Amendment 24, who began their search for the next election year's candidates.} The person having the greatest Number of votes for President, shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed; and if no person have such majority, then from the persons having the highest numbers not exceeding three on the list of those voted for as President, the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the President. But in choosing the President, the votes shall be taken by states, the representation from each state having one vote; a quorum for this purpose shall consist of a member or members from two-thirds of the states, and a majority of all the states shall be necessary to a choice. And if the House of Representatives shall not choose a President whenever the right of choice shall devolve upon them, before the fourth day of March next following, then the Vice-President shall act as President, as in the case of the death or other constitutional disability of the President. The person having the greatest number of votes as Vice-President, shall be the Vice-President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed, and if no person have a majority, then from the two highest numbers on the list, the Senate shall choose the Vice-President; a quorum for the purpose shall consist of two-thirds of the whole number of Senators, and a majority of the whole number shall be necessary to a choice. But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States."" What that does is to require every state and DC to elect a presidential and a vice candidate for the national election, eliminating the parties. It causes the direct vote of the people to elect the presidents and vice. Yet, it will eliminate all of the money needed for campaigning and conventions. To see how a democracy is supposed to work see http://prop1.org/protest/elijah/democracy.htm By adding my signature to this petition I agree that ... 1) There's not to be parties with the presidents and vices elected on separate ballots for their elections to be constitutional. 2) The no parties aspect makes every congressman who are in a party, including independent party, be unconstitutional. 3) Those discrepancies alone give We The People the right to demand their resignation and, since the vice president is also unconstitutionally elected, per Amendment 25, upon resigning the president will choose someone to "execute the laws faithfully" (Art. 2, Sec. 3) to name as his ...39 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Elijah A.

Abolish the Electoral CollegeIn today's age, the need for the antiquated Electoral College system has been completely eliminated. The direct will of the people is easy to calculate and should not be interfered with. Ever since the 2000 Presidential election we have seen situations arise that are indicative of how close votes are and how easily their outcome can be swayed. There is no reason to continue to allow a few key swing states and the shadowy people who represent them determine the path of America's future.36 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Drew

Underfunded Federal & State MandatesAlll across America, local governments are struggling to pay for legislative mandates that have been imposed by the federal and state legislatures without providing for the funds to pay for these increased obligations. Towns and municipalities must comply, but property taxes were never intended to be a vehicle for funding the ever-increasing and costly municipal and educational mandates that are with us now. In Massachusetts, Proposition 2 1/2 means that mandates will eventually swallow up entire budgets unless the town votes for an operational override. Towns are not able to manage their own budgets and they have lost their fiscal autonomy and authority.38 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Alice Susan Lawson

Help Keep Your Yoga Teacher IndependentThe state of NY has proposed that all yoga teachers be classified as W-2 emplyees rather than Independent Contractors.

Help Keep Your Yoga Studio BalancedThere is a huge push against yoga studios as a source of taxation and funding at both the city and state level. An increasing number of studios are facing legal investigation for violating these new and poorly understood government regulations.This has meant burdensome lawyers fees, penalties, back-tax bills and other administrative costs which are threatening the vitality of many studios in our city. We are calling upon our local officials to not impose this service tax and to stop all audits demanding years of back taxes.1,340 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Nikki Vilella
