Forgive All Outstanding Student Debt$120 Billion worth of student loans are already in default. Total FEDERAL debt is at $956 billion. Even more is owed privately. The country and our young people are drowning in student debt. The government bailed out banks and Wall Street. It should bail out its citizens.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Sharalyn Bell

Ask the University of Delaware's Board of Trustees to DIVEST from Fossil Fuel Corporations!My name is Rick McCorkle, and I'm a University of Delaware Alumnus (M.S. in Applied Ocean Science, Class of 2001) and professional fish and wildlife biologist. With fossil fuel corporations banking on exploiting 5 times the amount of carbon considered safe to burn without exceeding a 2-degree C global temperature increase (see http://math.350.org/ ), universities should not be investing in their business plans for wrecking the planet! Please join me in asking the University of Delaware's Board of Trustees to DIVEST from Fossil Fuel Corporations.12 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Richard McCorkle

The recent purchase of Current TV by Qatar makes it possible for Americans to obtain international news that is currently missing from the airwaves in the US.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by George Veronis

Illinois Tollway: Stop Blindsiding Drivers with Tollway FinesDrivers failing to pay missed tolls within the seven day grace period can lead to high tollway fines. $5 in missed tolls can potentially create $500 in tollway fines over the course of a year. Failing to pay these fines can lead to a suspended license without notification to the driver. Please provide drivers with the ability to search and pay for outstanding fines using their license plate number to avoid their license from being suspended.76 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Janel

Congressman Garrett, stand with NJ: Don't block Sandy relief!If you can believe it, one Congressman from New Jersey has said he may vote against the bulk of federal aid to rebuild his own state next week. Scott Garrett said he may vote against the rest of the New Jersey delegation and try to block the majority of federal aid for disaster victims citing 'wasteful spending.' Rebuilding roads and bridges. Helping families get back in their homes to start putting their lives back together. That's hardly waste. If Garrett were alone, that would be bad enough. But he’s joined by a Tea Party caucus that would rather see families suffer than admit that we actually have obligations to each other. So every vote will count. The House will vote on the Sandy relief package on Tuesday, January 15. Sign our emergency petition to Rep. Garrett not to block relief for Hurricane Sandy victims.3,139 of 4,000 SignaturesCreated by NJ Working Families Alliance
