The banking industry should not be allowed to make huge profits from student loans that borrowers are not allowed to discharge through hardships or bancrunpcy. They are charging high interest rates and raking in the money from student loan borrowers, collecting in some cases 400% of the original loan taken out, knowing that it is practically guaranteed to be paid as student loans are next to impossible to be forgiven. If student loans remain that difficult to discharge, all student loan borrowers PAST and PRESENTshould be allowed to have a reduction in their student loan interest rates to something reflective of a savings account rate, in the realm of 1% to 3%. My loan rate is 9% on a loan taken out in the early 1990's, one of which I am still paying on dispite having paid back more than twice what I borrowed, and with a future of paying back another two times more before the loan is paid. Please help.

The GOP has blocked a number of legislative initiatives by merely threatening filibuster. That has been enough to get the Democrats to back away from their own proposals, and has led to gridlock in Congress. Why should the threat of filibuster be enough? The fallout from televised coverage and news coverage will be so negative, it will lead to them backing down. Make the GOP actually do it, Jimmy Stewart style. They will have to put up or shut up.

This year's embattled election may be over, but the bitter, vicious attack ads used by campaigns and politicians won't go away. Once election cycles start up again, so will the ads. Isn't it time we asked for more? Shouldn't we demand intelligent, thoughtful discourse from those seeking elected leadership? Wouldn't it be more beneficial to get answers, not attacks?

Petition the house and senate to take a vote on presidents jobs bill.

Recent legislations are working to curtail the freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution.

Now that the Supreme Court has subjected us all to unlimited campaign donations with its Citizens United vs FEC decision, we are bombarded with ridiculous levels of television advertising. The 2012 Presidential election saw over $800 million spent alone, this does not even include congressional elections at federal and state levels. Lets use this money for our country, not annoying political advertisements.

THE INVOLUNTARY SERVITUDE ENFORCED ON WOMEN TO CONTINUE A PREGNANCY SHE DOES NOT WISH TO CONTINUE IF THE PRESENT TREND ROWARD RESTRICTION OF ABORTION CONTINUES.

It's time to put an end to campaign lying. Let's get together on this now, so the next round of campaigning can be clean and clear of all BS. This petition puts forth a call for congress to pass a bill that requires all campaigns for house and senate congress positions as well as presidential position campaigns to run honest ads and debates. It invites a fine of sizeable amount (5% of gross amount in campaign account) be taken from the candidate who supports an ad that is false or gives false information during a debate. This money is then to be given to reduce the national debt or into a campaign finance reform fund for a committee to utilize for establishing a new campaign finance law.

The corruption of our Democracy by Money.....

The Citizens United ruling giving corporations personhood and allowing corporations to bribe their way into government must be repealed. California, Hawaii, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico, Rhode Island and Vermont have all passed resolutions through their legislatures, and majorities of legislators in Connecticut and Maryland sent letters to Congress calling for a constitutional amendment opposing the ruling; Colorado and Montana just passed the resolution as a result of the election on Tuesday. I want Pennsylvania voters to have their say.

We the people sent congress to Washington D.C., so they work for us. We want congress to work with the president in his second term.

This petition is about the problem in Congress and the Senate due to a pledge signed to Grover Norquist. By signing the pledge the majority of the party acted as obstructionists for four years and were not working for the good of the American people.
