  • Require that Freddie Mac allow refinancing of mortgages they hold resulting in lower interest cha...
    I have been personally affected;. I have been barred from refinancing my home since 2009 because I refinanced before May of 2009. Freddie Mac rules, with no explanation of why, will not allow me to refinance. If I and others were allowed to do so, we could reduce mortgage interest rates on existing loans and save thousands of dollars per year. In my case, I would save about $5000 per year. I have already done a petition you can view here by copying and pasting thiks link in your address bar: http://wh.gov/IjfU

  • Show your Support for Cascadia’s Classified Staff!
    In July, Washington State’s community college system imposed a year-long 3% salary reduction on all classified employees. Since then, WPEA – one of the unions representing classified state employees - has secured a commitment from several colleges to “mitigate” the salary reduction by offering overtime opportunities. To date, Cascadia has NOT agreed to mitigate, ignoring the financial hardship being imposed on the lowest paid employees in our community college system. Please sign this petition to show your support for Cascadia’s classified staff in seeking mitigation of the 3% salary reduction.

  • Lee Terry excludes Bellevue to ensure victory
    The Nebraska Legislature removed Bellevue from Nebraska's Second Congressional District and put Nebraska's oldest community into the First Congressional District. The Republican majority in the state legislature did this to shore up the republicans' chances in the Second Congressional District. Bellevue, which is democratically heavy, was replaced in the Second District by western Sarpy County, which is very republican. This ensured a victory by Lee Terry.

  • Allow The Bush Tax Cuts To Expire
    The Bush tax cuts were designed by the wealthy for the wealthy. When Bill Clinton was president everyone did just fine without these tax cuts. There were 23 million jobs created under Bill Clinton in an expanding economy with government budget surpluses becoming the new routine. It's time we return to those years by allowing the Bush tax cuts to just expire.

  • Tax rate Increase
    The person most responsible now to get a deal before the end of the year is Speaker John Boehner. He must be informed that the people of the United States have spoken clearly and we want him to compromise and raise the tax rates to 39% on people earning in excess of $250,000.00.

  • CHANGE GUIDELINES FOR STATE/COUNTY SUBSIDIZED CHILDCARE PROGRAMS FOR WORKING AMERICANS
    Guidelines set by subsidized childcare does not support single parents employed with one source of income. With high cost childcare and home cost expenses (in which the state does not deduct from gross income), it is unfortunate that those whom need this assistance, most, can not obtain it. If something is not done about this, there will be plenty of single parents out of work and on welfare.

  • No Cuts to Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid
    Seniors living on fixed incomes are already financially stretched, unable to afford rising rent, food and healthcare costs. Many of the participants at Mosholu Montefiore Senior Center in the Bronx go without their medication or treatment to avoid co-payments. At the end of the month they rely on our lunch program as their sole source of food. They cannot exist on less; they are already subsisting at the current rates.
