In the battle for the Debt Ceiling vote, President Obama is offering to put Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid on the table for cuts. He campaigned and received support from the American people for his stance to protect the Big 3 at all costs. If he waivers in this battle and sides with Republicans, then Democrats should find another nominee in 2012. We need a Democrat in the White House who acts like a Democrat. The poor and the vanishing middle class in America have taken the brunt of this bad economy started by George W. Bush while the top 2% enjoy their lowest tax rates in 50 years. Shared sacrifice means shared by all, not just a few. The poor, elderly and disabled can no longer afford any more cuts. It is time for President Obama to draw a line in the sand and stand firm.

Obama needs a challenge, should not run unopposed, why forfeit that debating opportunity?

The petition advocates 100 percent fulfillment of the terms of all the treaties the US signed with Indian nations, full funding of federal programs contracted by Indian tribes, and a return, as far as possible of treaty lands that were taken under the Dawes Act and by other legerdemain.

Cutting Military Spending

We petition news casters, pundits, guests on talk shows, politicians, all those in positions to shape the image of our countgry to stop referring to it as THIS country. It is OUR country and it might just have an underlying effect if just once ina while we viewers, listeners, and audience heard it called OURS rather than THIS~

The Nobel Peace prize was most likely awarded to Obama for two reasons. 1) based on his pre-election rhetoric/speeches 2) to encourage him to lead the world into a more peaceful existence. Obama did not follow his own rhetoric and he maintained 2 wars and launched a third. The whole world can/will sign this petition. It can't be hidden by the US media once it goes worldwide. Tweet Away!

My petition is for people to agree to limit the amount of money that every candidate for public office can use to run for office and limit the campaign time to one year, at most. People should sign this because money has corrupted the system and because of the recent Citizens United Supreme Corps decision, it is only getting more corrupt! We must get the money out!

With the early August deadline for raising the U.S. debt limit fast approaching, we must do something to forestall the looming catastrophe. Please demand that your congressperson negotiate in earnest to raise the U.S. debt limit, agreeing to both cuts and taxes. Our country is on the brink of ruin..

Please mail each of your Senators and Congressmen ONE PIECE OF BREAD. This is to explain that we, the middle class do not want to eat cake...and it is to help them see that all we are looking for is a fair slice of the American dream. It will signify that we favor taxing the rich as opposed to cutting Social Security and/or Medicare.

Joliet is the largest, most diverse community in Rep. Kinzinger's district. He has recently taken positions which strongly impact Joliet citizens, yet has not held a town hall there for six months. We call on him to announce one soon, giving at least five days public notice.
