Pres. Obama: You have 100 days to fix what Wall Street brokeThe first 100 days of the second Obama Administration is moment when we begin to judge President Obama’s legacy. This as his last chance to ensure a legacy of justice for the millions of homeowners, taxpayers and retirees whose homes, savings, and pensions were stolen by Wall Street bankers. On Martin Luther King, Jr Day, when President Obama said, “Our country cannot succeed when a shrinking few do very well and a growing many barely make it”, we took him at his word. That’s why today, along with allies like the Campaign for a Fair Settlement, we are launching the “100 Days to Fix What Wall Street Broke” campaign. We cannot address the growing many barely able to make it if we do not address the mess Wall Street bankers have left us. While it’s always easy to beat up on Congress, the President and his Administration can take strong and effective actions to achieve these goals without any action at all by Congress. All it requires is the courage and determination to stand up to Wall Street. So that’s what we’re demanding: bold action. The Administration must use every available legal, enforcement, and market tool available to keep the President’s past promises and hold Wall Street accountable. President Obama’s legacy will rest on how future generations perceive his ability to deal with the core cause of the economic wreckage of the past four years: reckless practices by Wall Street bankers emboldened by lax regulation, poor oversight, and their outsized influence in the halls of Congress. Our 100 Days Campaign gives him the opportunity to live up to his best intentions and past pledges.142 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Nathan Henderson-James

Honor seating reservations for families traveling with young childrenA month ago I traveled with my family to visit my parents over the holidays. As we had done in the past, we traveled with American Airlines. We had a horrible experience with some of AA's employees, but during the experience found out that even though we work hard trying to find reservations where we can sit together with our young children (we have 3 year old twins), American Airlines does not guarantee seating reservation and will most likely separate parties (regardless of the age of the children). If that is the case, I do not understand why they continue with the farse of making you chose flights where you can find seats together. I wrote a letter to a number of officials in American and am still waiting for an explanation of what is driving this. In the meantime, I do believe that as a mother, I should have the right to get what I pay for and be allowed to sit with my children during a flight (regardless of the class I am traveling in)4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Marie Yunis
