This petition is intended to help millions of homeowners who are asking for a loan modification. It is common knowledge that banks will not even look at a loan modification request of homeowners who are current on their payments. This is forcing many homeowners - often adviced "unofficially" by the banks themselves - to stop making payments, and therefore enter foreclosure proceedings, or the the banks will not consider their loan modification requests. During the foreclosure/loan modification evaluations, which all too often last years, foreclosure fees pile up, interests on the unpaid amount accumulate, a continuous hardship is imposed upon families by the ever impending (moved month to month) auction date and the repeated requests by banks for more and more - and in half the cases, duplicate - documents. We need to change the way banks look at the loan modification requests and increase the homeowners range of choices to reduce their own liability. You should sign and share this petition if you or someone you know has or is navigating through a loan modification. Then you'll identify with its requests!

The Congressional Progressive Caucus has an alternative budget plan that balances the budget sooner than the Republican/Obama compromise and does it in a way that all the polls say the majority of Americans want. Rather than reducing Medicare and Social Security benefits through privatization, it strengthens both. Google it.

Reform the election process so that the people and not big money influence elections.

Parents deserve an easy way to know that food is safe for their children.

It's about the GOP and the Tea Party scheming with corporate America not to hire workers to make Obama look bad in order for him to not be re-elected.

9/11 has served as the foundation for an open-ended war and other nefarious policies. Yet President Obama and all members of the U.S. Congress have refused to acknowledge the most self-evident contradiction of the official 9/11 narrative: "Building 7's destruction has all the attributes of a controlled demolition, but it is necessarily due to an office fire, since the official investigations so determined." It is time to challenge politicians of all stripes to face an enigma that the average 6th grader is capable of comprehending as they keep wasting military power and other resources into terribly misguided endeavors.

The House is requiring that all funding for the James Webb Space Telescope, Hubble’s successor, be cut entirely. In other words, they are canceling the JWST program. This is a killer blow to U.S. astronomical research and education. JWST is central to NASA's mission and employs thousands of people world-wide. Support the reinstatement of funding for JWST!

Let President Obama and Congress know that if they will stand up to those who would destroy our country in order to win back power....we will be behind them, we will support them and in the end ....we will win!

Governor Rick Scott and the Republican Legislature has attacked and will continue to attack Firefighters, Police, and public servants in the State of Florida. We accepted low salaries for the promise of a decent retirement but now they are reneging on their promise.

A call for people to stop yelling at each other and drawing lines in the sand. Start listening. I mean it! Listen. Deeply. Break down the rhetoric across the abyss, and address the fears we all experience. Focus on the stable, nurturing communities we can create when we actually listen and share on a deeper level.
