Wall Street speculators are buying up neighborhoods across America. Their goal? Squeeze a profit out of struggling homeowners. Private equity firms and Hedge Funds have quietly amassed mortgage notes to 200,000 homes in communities around the USA -- and they're getting special treatment from the government to aid their conquests. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (overseen by the Federal Housing Finance Agency, or FHFA) have refused to offer principal reduction to struggling homeowners, then they turn around and sell these troubled mortgages to Wall Street speculators at a deep discount. Our government agencies are supposed to work for American families -- not for the biggest financial institutions. Tell Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to stop selling these troubled mortgages to Wall Street, and instead sell them to non-profits with a track record of offering loan modifications with principal reduction to help families stay in their homes!

I was born on Election Day and my Mother, an immigrant to the United States and naturalized citizen, insisted on going to vote before going to the hospital. I watched the two Republican debates and came away with more questions than answers. The issues facing our country are serious and our vote for the President is one of the most important responsibilities we have as citizens of this country. We, the people, deserve debates that address the issues and allow sufficient time to discuss and debate. We deserve debates where facts are presented and sound bites are discouraged. This is why I am proposing that those hosting the debates, the Chairs of the Republican and Democratic parties, and the candidates from both parties, embrace and accept my recommendation for debate rules / guideline. I hope, if you agree, you will sign the petition and ask that the above people respect the voting public by adopting these changes.

Many have called on the DNC and DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz for increasing the number Democratic debates but the DNC(supposedly the "people's" party) is not listening to us, the people! In order for Democrats to choose the best candidate possible, more debates are necessary. I choose to vote for more debates by withholding all donations from the DNC and I urge you all to do the same!

We want a Supernatural episode in which the two brothers meet Leonardo DaVinci. And the whole episode would be about DaVinci's obsession with Dean's face. Follow Him around making numerous sketches of him serious, happy, angry, sad because Sammy forgot the pie, AGAIN!

Chris Matthews is a top participant in the media blackout against Bernie Sanders and I feel that the media blackout against Bernie Sanders is unjust and goes against the American way of balance and fairness in American politics. His behavior is something I would expect from the FOX network, NOT MSNBC. It is a disgrace! We want balanced coverage of all the candidates including Bernie Sanders.

America hears the Republican candidates, but not our voices!

We need exposure to ALL candidates for the Democratic presidential nomination! I like @HillaryClinton very much but do not appreciate the corporate media choosing her as the inevitable candidate! @BernieSanders has excellent policies but is getting a fraction of media coverage that Secretary Clinton is! The same is true with Lawrence @Lessig @LincolnChafee @MartinOMalley @JimWebbUSA. The American people deserve a discussion about the truth and valid solutions from which to choose. We DEMAND equal media coverage!

The Pope preaches global tolerance and he's been fighting corruption from day one at the Vatican. Kutesa, President of the United Nations General Assembly and a senior official in a government that promoted an anti-LGBT law does not exemplify the values of Pope Francis or the ideals of the United Nations -- fighting corruption and ensuring human rights for all regardless of race, religion, national origin, and sexual orientation.

Spotify, Pandora's main competitor, pays out six times that amount - yet their payouts are also pitifully inadequate. Music streaming services assume that the competition for online music is priced at “free,” and their value added is in curation. No, the competition for streaming is “stolen” music. Streaming services are using stolen music as the comparative justification for pitiful compensation. In this environment, artists are forced to crowd-fund their creative work, making friends and fans of the artist subsidize the creation of content from which these services profit. It’s corrupt, unethical, exploitative, and unfair.

We are starting this petition to bring Kevin Roach to the attention of Warner Brothers and New Line Cinema for consideration for the role of Freddy Krueger in the Nightmare on Elm Street Remake/reboot.

To stop the proposed development of a 15,000 square foot regional attraction skateboard park at RPV City Hall that will only serves the needs of a small percentage of residents, yet will increase traffic and bring in crowds from all over southern California.

We need your help to convince the Lompoc City Council that Lompoc citizens want the new California Space Center to be created right here in our town. This new establishment will bring abundance of opportunities to the city and its citizens such as jobs, education, fun, and much much more.
