The Federal Reserve Bank takes money that the U.S. Treasury prints, and decides how much to put into circulation, who to loan it to, and at what interest rate to loan it at. Congress borrows money from the Federal Reserve to fund programs, which creates our national debt. Forty percent of our national debt is owed to the Federal Reserve Bank. Why wouldn't we abolish the Federal Reserve Bank, and regulate the money supply ourselves, so that we would not have to pay interest on the monies we print.

Yes,I've been affected by this new regulation as well as 1000's of other's.

Overtuning the Supreme Court "Citizens United" ruling

The Legislative and Executive branches of the US gov't. continually place legal burdens upon the American People (ObamaCare, OSHA regulations, gun control, et al) that they exempt themselves from. This needs to stop, and make our legislators and Executive Branch members just as accountable to the laws, rules, and regulations they promulgate as We the People are.

The Governor has proposed a budget that would increase the income tax by 1%, and decrease the sales tax by 1.75%. It would also increase the tax on cigarettes by $1 per pack, remove the sales tax exemption for soda and junk food, and add to the gas tax. The net result would be an expanded budget to improve transportation and education in the state, and a tax burden that is far more progressive than the high sales tax we currently have. A lower sales tax would also help businesses that border New Hampshire, which has no sales tax.

I am a 42-year-old female who has not had a job that pays a living wage in almost six years. I have a Bachelor's degree and fifteen years of administrative/clerical experience but I cannot find a job. Every day I sit at home out of work makes me feel very low and my skills are slowly ebbing away. There are many individuals like myself who through no fault of their own, find themselves considered used goods in the working world. We want to work, need to work and demand the right to work. We need more job training programs to help displaced workers like myself and others to make us more marketable in the job field.

Please do not create another tax on real estate sales of any sort.

The only way to have open, meaningful elections, and government responsive to the people, is to have publicly funded elections. This petition urges the Maine legislature to take a step in that direction.

Rhode Island can solve its budget crisis – Own a Bank! Restoring credit to the local economy must happen at the state level. The Fed is not the answer. Many states are taking the initiative with legislation aimed at establishing state-owned banks based on the successful model of the 93 year old Bank of North Dakota.

Park Elementary has a bat problem, to the point children and staff members are getting sick! Bat feces causes respiratory problems! My 4 year old child has had every respiratory illness (to include losing her finger and toenails) and ended up having to have surgery. Once my daughter became well enough to attend school again, 2 days into attending she has become ill. My child has missed over 45 days of school. And never had an illness until she started attending Park Elementary. I was told by a teacher (not releasing names) that they have actually seen the bats swoop down towards the children during the day. From my understanding (and I could be wrong) I thought bats only move from dusk to dawn Please correct me if I am wrong. I have been promised by the principal (and a letter from Rid A Critter) that the bats are removed. But where is the letter stating the FECES is cleaned up. I have been notified by the media that the school was shut down due to this problem in the past. I NEED a guarantee that this school is CLEAN!! It is only fair for the staff and children attending Park Elementary School in Hamilton, GA.
