The home loan interest rate is the most important to families. Keeping it low and constant will provide afforability, comfort and future home owners able to make the payments. Keeping home interest rates below 3% will give families more cash to spend and improve the economy.

"If you continue to do what you've always done, you will always get what you've always gotten"...and in the case the HIV epidemic is rising in the South. The gaps in care, testing, linkage to care, and retention services must be addressed to reduce the rising new rates of infection.

This petition is about trying to protect my Family (immediate and global) from the most immediate threat to their security - namely, an uncontrolled nuclear chain reaction at the Fukushima reactor site in Japan. Whether it helps or not is up to all of us. It might make no difference at all but if we don't at least try to change course, we will most certainly get where we are heading and that is no place I want for my children or anybody else's. Thank you. Your sister in Hope, Joyce Katzberg (Rhode Island, USA)

I have personally experienced this due to having cancer and not being able to be sick and work. So I have had to pay larger deposits and except crappy places to live based upon my credit status all because cancer does not discriminate.

Elected officials neglect the job they were sent to do in order to run for some other office.

This weapon is projected from cellphone towers! The patent holder is Raytheon (#7629918), a military contractor. It's developed by Dr. Jamie Tyler, and Arizona State University! The weapon is used on a "targeted" bases. And it causes cognitive memory loss, induced heart symptoms that may lead to heart attacks, and artery hardening; obstructed breathing rhythm, muscle fatigue, visual problems, joint pains, headaches, impotence, unnatural agitation, and also induced sleepiness; and infused tumors, that may evolve into cancer! All at the active control of a central base ran by government agencies like the counter intelligence division in Tucson, Arizona. They also use agents in Dolce, New Mexico, that sometimes collaborate with the NSA, in computer tapping! The RFDE weapon also allows them to be audibly heard talking to you against your will through the use of sonic, microwave, and low wave radio technology. They often identify themselves as the government and then use racially derogatory, and sexually explicit language! Which gives the weapon a psychological, as well as physical torture aspect!

It's a historic victory that President Obama has agreed to seek congressional authorization for the use of military force in Syria. But despite the President's promise that he only intends to conduct "limited strikes," the AUMF (Authorization for Use of Military Force) he sent to the Hill is a blank check for war. It isn't geographically limited to Syria--this president or a future president could use it to strike Iran. It doesn't prohibit the use of U.S. ground troops. It isn't limited in duration. If this AUMF passes, it is likely to remain; the Iraq AUMF has never been repealed. If you oppose a U.S. military strike on Syria, sign the petition. And even if you support only limited strikes, sign the petition, because the Syria AUMF isn't a mandate for limited strikes--it's a blank check for war. [Update 9/4: the authorization introduced by Menendez last night partially addresses three issues: it is time-limited, it is limited to Syria, it speaks against ground troops. However, the time limit is 2-3 months, not 2-3 days as promised earlier, and it only prohibits ground troops in Syria "for the purpose of combat," We've seen in Iraq and Afghanistan that "training" includes U.S. troops embedded in foreign combat forces. The Menendez bill authorizes a longer and broader war - "degrading" Syrian military forces and arming and training Syrian rebels, thus intervening in Syria's civil war to try to change the balance of military forces, despite earlier claims - than the 2-3 days of cruise missile strikes that were marketed to the public.]

Justin Bieber is not a naturalized American Citizen and has abused the generosity of all Americans with his vulgar and most often times illegal behavior. Spitting at Americans, urinating in places other than designated facilities, multiple instances of assault on Americans resulting in injury to U.S. citizens. As citizens of the United States who love and respect out country, we ask our government to have this individual deported back to his own native Canada.

Without a U.N. Mandate, we would be wrong, in firing upon Syria. First, get the U.N. Mandate , secondly, Congressional approval, then proceed from that point. Be absolutely sure, that the Assad administration, used those chemical weapons and not the rebels . Some of those rebels, are not saints either. The Metamorphosis Project, strongly protest , going about it, any other way.

The reason why I am starting this petition is because my friend who was also the employee that was suspended by Valmont Newmark only because he was parking his motorcycle in the parking lot of that organization while he was working there. That memorial display is his genuine appreciation of all of the War-Fighters who are still fighting and for those who have given the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Walt already invited the management to check the display out by themselves so they could verify that there really was nothing dangerous about that display because it is only a plastic replica of an M-16. He and his finance go to Send-Offs, Welcome Homes, Funerals, and other Veteran events to show their genuine appreciation for the soldiers that make those sacrifices. It is Walt's right to display his Freedom of Speech on his motorcycle and it really honors all of the service members who have served and those that are still serving! If Walt's organization does not reinstate him back to work, then that could also be classified as a Discrimination towards an employee that is honoring his finance's disability. I am prepared as a friend of Walt and a Veteran brother of Cindy to inform the O'Reilly Factor and the CNN News about this because this is truly the wrong way for any organization to treat any worker. Just the negative publicity alone should get some kind of action started because all of this is really wrong! This is the Video URL of the news footage concerning this matter: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=nW-tIDhKA6Y&list=UUYJYd6vcWVWE7XXoQofJB7g If there is any worries about the company trying to be on the safe side concerning that bike, then why is there not any metal detectors that would indicate any metal items being brought into the workplace that could be real weapons? This is all completely wrong and I think that our Government Officials need to check into this matter and request that this organization will allow Walt to continue to drive his bike to that workplace and park it on company property because that bike would never be brought inside of the shop areas of the workplace.

We face an urgent situation where once again the US is about to attack a country that has not attacked us, but most assuredly will retaliate against any military action we take. Chemical weapons are an abomination, but it is far from clear that military action will have any positive effects to help the Syrian people. Attacking Syria to "maintain our credibility" in the words of one presidential candidate I remember in 2008 is a "dumb war".

The Sorina household are dear friends - very good people. People who chose to return and rebuild their home after Katrina. Their neighborhood was hard hit and they put in the hard work of returning to their city. Only to be taken from their home years later by a ban. http://outfront.blogs.cnn.com/2013/08/28/8-years-after-katrina-new-orleans-homeowners-forced-to-fight-for-homes/?sr=sharebar_facebook
