Save the Wisconsin Retirement SystemScott Walker wants to radically alter the public employee pension system in Wisconsin (WRS).

Relief for the innocent bystander victims of the subprime catastropheMillions of hard working American who played by the rules have ended up with their economic survival threatened by the subprime mortgage/mortgage backed securities (CDOs)catastrophe. Foreclosures have killed the huge real estate sector of our economy with ripple effects that continue to drag the US economy down. Yet no one has seriously addressed this at a national level. Many experts in the real estate economy call for national relief to innocent bystanders with fully qualified, non speculative mortgages who are being dragged under. Congress needs to act. The lending institutions need to be forced by presidential decree to negotiate in good faith with mortgage holders who have held on, paid their bills but are going to become part of the foreclosure statistics without immediate help. Simply mandating that everyone with a conservative, long term mortgage be afforded an immediate, expedited and simple option to allow for a refinance at low current rates. The lender should be mandated to do this without red tape and without involving third party vendors seeking mainly personal profit. This has the potential to save millions of honest Americans from financial failure and ultimately help eryone else in America, by slowing or stopping the slide of the real estate market toward ever more underwater properties and further economic chaos. The big banks and others who caused this debacle have been given free money from our tax payments. It is not much to ask that honest, hard working citizens holding conservative, traditional mortgages be granted a simple chance to survive by taking part in the low mortgage rates available today. There is no downside to this. It has been ignored by congress and the president and the people of the United States need to stand up and demand mortgage relief from Washington DC.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Michael Fangman

Restore Social SecurityIt appears President Obama is playing right into the hands of the Republicans and the Tea Party by trying to eliminate Social Security. They call it a reduction in taxes. Instead it is going to be a reduction to many peoples retirement funds. We all know or hear of people living on only Social Security or being homeless. We should be ashamed that something like this can happen in the richest country in the world. They take the average income for all Americans as $50,000. They should be taking the median of $36,000. Then they say this puts $1,000. in the average American pocket. That is $19.23 a week. Anyone I have asked never even noticed the difference in their weekly check. If you use the $36,000. the weekly amount is $13.84. According to the last Republican debate that is 1.2 BILLION DOLLARS that is not going into the the Social Security fund from the employees. Add to that the employors contribution and we have a total of 2.2 BILLION DOLLARS not going into the Social Security fund. Lets remove the cap and eliminate corruption in the system. Finally Let's restore Social Security so the poor and the middle class at least have something to live out their elderly years with.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by clarence scherer

Constitution Amendment: Campaign FinanceMoney is killing American politics because of campaign finance contributions by corporations and special interest groups. Congress passed campaign finance reform legislation, but the Supreme Court invalidated it. A Constitutional Amendment is needed to bypass the Supreme Court and enable reform.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Richard H. Lathrop

Sell ice cream by weightIn the USA, ice cream is sold by volumetric measures (pint, quart, half gallon) even though it is not a liquid. This gives manufacturers an incentive to pump the product full of air in order to fill a larger container with less product. In Italy, where gelato was invented, ice cream is sold be weight. This is fairer for the consumer and results in a higher quality product.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Andrew Laurence
