At present all corporate charters are state charters. Example the Disney corporation is chartered in the state of Delaware. I am doubtful that disney has even 20 people living or working in the state of Delaware. however, they have tens of thousands in California and Florida. All multi-state and multi-national corporations should be required to have federal charters. Thereby regulation and oversite will be much easyer to administer.

My family and others live on Max Hampton Street and we are concerned about those who choose to speed down this narrow street at different times of the day. Moreover, we would like speed bumps installed to slow down these vehicles while adding safety.

This petition will have longer hours of running trains. This is an issue because we pay more than the citizens of new york whom trains run all day and night. We need less drunk driving accidents and more freedoms to get around. Not only I but many others agree that if the cost of train fare raise we also want more out of the system.

Make the Oil Companies stop gouging the public in their gas prices

Gasoline Companies are gouging us in their pricing. A few years ago oil was $140 a barrel. and we paid $4.50 a gallon. Now oil is below $100 a barrel and we still have to pay $.4.00 a gallon.The first quarter profits of all the Oil Companies were at record highs

Currently, the 529 student savings plan is only useable in the current school year. The expansion of the plan to include student (and parent) college loans would enable students and parents to pay off their loans faster. The student loan debt load is inhibiting the entire economy, including housing, by preventing young people and their parents from taking on additional debt to purchase homes.

it's at the root of most of our problems

My daughter, Holly Bobo, was abducted on 4-13-11. After two years the case is still unsolved. There are other families in West Tennessee that have experienced the same tragedy for longer. Now is the time to push for a new approach and fresh eyes to achieve resolution for all these families. Please sign this petition to support the creation of a special task force. The new team will be comprised of qualified professionals who can re-examine and investigate these open missing persons cases.

My sister was murdered by her boyfriend. It will be 10 years this August 16th, her birthdate. He had a record of abuse with at least one count of felony. If we had a roster of felony abusers to look up his name and warn my sister. She would still be here today

students with special challenges

Peggy Miller, mother, grandmother, small business owner and medical herbalist in Montana, once learned of major Government Service Contract building contract corruption and public fund theft when working in Washington, D.C. It was $5 billion at that time in late 1970's, and based on GSA's growth since, she now estimates it at $20 billion annually. She was a girl in her 20's who was dating a young man who's father was Government Service Administration director. That GSA director discovered this corruption. The next thing she knew that GSA director was being asked to resign, and the hearings were called off. She forgot about it, feeling powerless to do anything. But one day in the late 1990’s she wrote it down in a notebook that was soon stolen from her home along with many other work and personal files, and her harassment began. It took her awhile to figure out that the break-ins and indication of surveillance in her home, and theft of her files, was probably related to that GSA corruption knowledge she had, and so she went to the FBI in 2002 and reported what she knew. She told the FBI that she knew the General Services Administration had been colluding with the mafia in allowing ballooning of GSA building and maintenance contracts and the siphoning off of half those funds. She told the FBI that the amount she had been told was being stolen from contracts in 1979 was $5 billion and the corruption existed in most states. The New Hampshire FBI agent she reported it to checked and verified the accuracy of her report, said others had reported the same thing, and it was still on-going. That FBI agent said her report was sent to Washington,D.C. for investigation. Then there was silence. Peggy Miller continued to be subjected to house break-ins, electronic and personal surveillance via person, computers and phone, and in her house. There was some food and water contamination, but that improved. She continued to report to the FBI and finally went to the U.S. Attorney's office in 2007 who said they needed the FBI, but even they were ignored by the FBI when sending them the complete file. In 2009 Peggy began to report it directly to the President, U.S. Cabinet, and Congressmen and many national organizations. She went to lawyers who said that it was a job for the U.S. Attorney's office, who keeps saying they need the FBI on board. But the FBI does nothing. It is time for a petition to the U.S. Senate to investigate the whole matter, including why the FBI has done nothing. Attorney General Eric Holder has said that the FBI can't deal with the hugeness of Wall Street boondoggles and the size of multinational corporations. Is GSA too large too? We must get a handle on these massive leaks to the public Treasury, or our economy will never recover.
