MARC: Allow regular bicycles on trains, not just folding bikesMARC trains only allow folding bicycles, which are typically heavier and more expensive than regular bikes, and bikes are one of the best ways of making public transportation practical, by helping people make up for gaps and problems in that transportation system. Especially in this tough economy, allowing regular bicycles would enable more people to adapt to available public transportation, rather than waiting for transportation to adapt to them. In other words, this would allow Maryland to get the most bang for its transportation bucks.277 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Rino Sanchez

TAX WALLSTREETThe registered nurses of the NNOC (National Nurses Organizing Committee) have purposed a 1% tax on all Wallstreet transactions to generate revenue for needed programs that will benefit all Americans. Since Wallstreet greed caused the near- collapse of the global economy and since they have now been making out like bandits-it is way past time to hold them accountable for giving back a small, small portion of the obscene profits they make (often) to the detriment of Main Street.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Pamela J.

Social Security early out optionThe worst option for helping Social Security is cutting benefits . Raising the individual ceiling and a Robinhood tax are great but an added option is to allow voluntary early outers who accept a lower benefit to do so without an added 50% penalty for continuing to work and continue paying into the system.Ending the penalty would make the option more favored and save SS much money at the lower benefit level..3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Raymond OBrien

NC Legislature: Do not require drug testing to public assistance recipientsThe NC Legislature is about to pass laws that require drug tests for public assistance recipients. This is unconstitutional and will cost the state too much. If these laws pass, all public officials should be required to submit to annual random drug tests as well.170 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Joshua Bradley
