Add a Public Option to the Affordable Care ActThe government should organize a "Federal Health Insurance Corporation" along the lines of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (for banks) to provide health insurance. Premiums should be set just high enough to cover the costs of providing benefits and adjusted regularly. This would make the F.H.I.C. revenue neutral, yet would provide significant savings for those who elect to purchase health insurance through this public option.97 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Winston Apple

Stop the Repeal of the Property Tax Credit in MissouriThe tax credit allows low-income, elderly or those 100% disabled to claim a portion of their rent as a tax credit. In 2012,107,000 Missourians claimed the credit, totaling $57 million. The average person is able to receive $450 a year. The maximum credit is $750. Advocates of the credit point out that it leaves the money with the recipient to direct to their specific needs rather than have that money go to a fund to be distributed as lawmakers determine. Many who receive the credit say it is essential for them, as it is used to supplement their income for items including utility bills, non-covered health care procedures and more. The Circuit Breaker Tax Credit program was first established as an amendment to the Missouri Constitution in 1972 by a direct vote of Missouri citizens and has been upheld by each legislature.192 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Crystal Stephens

Child Protective Services: A Broken SystemChild Protective Services has a history of causing harm to families leaving children vulnerable to potential dangers. They fail to thoroughly investigate claims and provide assistance to families seeking help. CPS violated my Constitutional and Patental Rights after requesting services for my daughter's psychological welfare. This resulted with the supervisor granting my daughter permission to leave the state to reside with her father. Her father has had no relationship with her since the age of three. She is now seventeen years of age. This is another example of Their broken system. Please join me in taking a stand for parents that parent and do not abuse.71 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Karen Hargrow
