Reform Bankruptcy Code to Help ConsumersAs a former Consumer Law attorney, I have seen the travesty that the 2005 Bankruptcy Code amendments have caused to consumers. Businesses screw up and they get bailed out. Consumers make bad decisions, or worse, get harmed by businesses, and the laws penalize them. It is time to have a serious debate and restore bankruptcy protections.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mitchell Goldstein

Caribbean's/West Indian's CommunityThe Caribbean’s/West Indian’s Americans want to be identifying as who we are. We migrate from our country to the USA to make a better life for ourselves and our children. Our children as well as ourselves service this country in many composites and the country should know that the Caribbean’s or West Indian’s Americans are proud to be American and are willing to defend this country and do play an important role in this country.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Beatrice Sadler

legislation for zipline courses and inflatable outdoor playhousesGoApe is a zipline course renting municipal park space in Indianapolis and other states. There are no safety regulations requiring helmets or padding on the trees. On September 30, 2012, I sustained a traumatic brain injury, whiplash, concussion, neck and shoulder injuries while on their zipline course. Children participate and are at risk, similar to the unregulated inflatable domes rented to families, where thousands of children are injured each year.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Suzette Fox

Absolutely No Social Security or Medicare ReductionsObamacare has already slammed seniors that have been carrying Medicare Advantage Plans by almost doubling premiums, increasing co-pays and in some cases quadrupling deductibles up ward of $2,500 per year. Most seniors can barely pay their property taxes and are losing their homes and leaving themselves with no where to go. Social Security on the other hand has not kept pace with inflation for years as energy and food costs are totally ignored when calculating the yearly COLA. Just like everyone else's food and energy costs go up - seniors and the disabled are also paying $4.00 a gallon for gas and we're getting the smaller boxes and cans at the grocery store just like everyone else. Property taxes have been increasing by double digits since the financial crisis, last year alone took an extra 18% to cover the taxes which in York County are some of the highest in the state of PA. For a house worth $100,000 which isn't much you'll pay around $4,000 a year, about $335 a month. The average Social Security check is about $14,232 a year or $1,186 a month less the property taxes of $335 and about $170 a month for Medicare premiums leaving roughly $666 a month to pay all the other bills, food, doctors, medications, utilities, car insurance, homeowners insurance, etc. Figure $100+ for heating or cooling and $150 for communications (TV, phone, internet) forget the smart phone because there's only $416 left to live on for the month or $14 per day and we still haven't paid all the bills for the month. Does that sound survivable to anyone? And Obama has already indicated his desire to cut the social programs. We must say NO NOW and we must say it LOUD! Not only do we have huge increasing expenses for medical care but our monthly Social Security checks ARE NOT COVERING OUR EXPENSES. Does Obama want to create a new criminal? The Senior Swindler that has to go out and steal other people's money to save themselves? Is this really how we want our seniors to live?121 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Todd Clay
