Audit The Federal Reserve BankThe Federal Reserve is an independent bank that is run by the most wealthy banks in the world that determine our interest rates and money supply. It was created in 1913 in a lame duck session and has no government control and has never been audited. The value of the dollar has been continually losing value and inflation makes prices of everything go up and it's time for the government to do an audit to find out why our money in continually losing value and where the money is going to so we can prevent the collapse of our currency.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Nathan Straw

Remove Gluten from FDA GRAS ListWithin the last several years my son was diagnosed with celiac disease and I was diagnosed with gluten sensitivity. A decade ago gluten intolerance was at a rate was 1/2500 world wide. Now it is 1/133. In Finland gluten intolerance has doubled in the past thirty years with the elderly population rates growing faster than regular population. Celiac disease is under-diagnosed. Only 5% of an estimated 1/100 patients have been tested. Gluten sensitivity is in about 5% 1/20 of the population. It is time to question the safety of gluten and to require product manufacturers to list gluten as an ingredient.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jeanne Rosenbohm
