Headline: Stop Government Services Administration Building Contract Corruption, get the FBI to d...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.27 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Peggy M. Miller

Lift the limit on Pell GrantAfter High school like most 18 year old I went into college not knowing what I wanted out of life. As a result I left and joined the workforce. Now I am 29 and a single mother trying to pursue a degree in Nursing. UnfortunatelyI was told that because congress had change the rule and put a cap on the number of years you may use a pell grant I am forced to just not be able to finish college. I cannot afford to pay for it on my own so Im in a situation that seems there is no solution to. Please ask congress to lift this rule so that myself and many others like me can finish their degree.14 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Erin Barringer

Demand that the Congress release details of private Republican MeetingThe ecomony is recovering slowly. There are a lot of people suffering from unemployment, from no medical care. Republicans held a meeting the week Obama was elected in whch members vowed not to work with President Obama " make Obama a one term President" The decisions made in that meeting by Republicans have hurt the millions of unemployed middle class and poor people in this country. We need to know who attended that meeting and what was said. Republicans have been able to get away "just saying no" and blaming the slow ecomonic recovery on Obama because the main press has refused to hold them accountable for their actions.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by paula

Age and Term limits for congressI am tired of out of touch and completely corrupted politicians running this country. They run for office using the same tactics the advertising companies use to fool you into buying a worthless product. Then we are surprised that the elected official is worthless. After so many years in office, the "not for the people' influences have taken over any shred of decency they may have had.7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Joe

Stop Online Job ApplicationsI've talked to many unemployed individuals who talk about the difficulty getting a job, because of online applications. My son got a job after looking for months, only because he met someone whose husband worked for the company, and he pulled my son's application, and offered him the job. How are people supposed to get jobs when they can not get an interview? Applicants are also warned against calling to follow up on the status of their application. Personal interviews can reveal more about an individuals work ethic!1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Gwen Giorgis

Cut Congressional Pay for not workingI am angry to see that The least among us are being hurt the most by the sequester cuts. while my 80 year old mother gets her meals on wheels cut all Congress can do is waste money on needless debates, investigations, disrespecting the President, and take vacations from doing nothing. When you call them all you get is a machine. . The sequester cuts should stop. I work hard everyday and sometimes I get a vacation. Why does Congress paid so much while getting so much time off from doing nothing?1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mary Mayhew

Special Issue Treasury Note: America should borrow from Americans first.The US Treasury should refinance a portion of the existing national debt by issuing a Special Issue Note made available only to US citizens with a social security number. The note should carry a minimum coupon of 3% (the current cost of 30yr UST bonds) and should be redeemable any time at 100% of the face amount of the note thereby eliminating the duration and interest rate sensitivity risks of owning long term bonds. The special issue note should be administered through TreasuryDirect.gov., an existing on-line platform. The purpose of this Special Issue Note is to provide an investment safe haven for the middle class and elderly citizens who have been severely impacted by the disappearance of federally insured bank deposit products. The disappearance of these bank products has been a direct result of the Federal Reserve Quantitative Easing (QE) strategy. These classes of people have depleted savings and implemented household austerity programs for the past five years and can no longer withstand the drain on household wealth caused by the QE program. This Special Issue Note will reduce the financial impact of QE on the middle class and the elderly at very little cost to the US Government.19 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mark Brewer
