President Obama: Allow the DREAMers from the Campaign for an American DREAM, who walked across Am...The Campaign for an American DREAM is a grassroots organization lead by undocumented youth. For seven and a half months, we have endured a journey from San Francisco to Washington D.C., creating dialogue around the passage of the Federal DREAM Act and immigration reform. In our long and strenuous journey for this cause, we have promoted the values of equality, unity, and diversity. We believe all people are equal, all those who are oppressed should be united, and that individuals should not be punished, but recompense for their hard work as individuals. We have united hundreds of communities across the nation by sharing our struggles as undocumented American's, allowing people to fully comprehed the obstacles of undocumented youth. Our journey commenced on March 10, 2012 and will come to an end on November 2, 2012. Throughout these past few months we have created productive dialogue around the plight of undocumented youth in both small towns and big cities across different states. We have educated communities and opened up spaces where communities came together and discussed the opportunity of creating a better society for undocumented youth via the passage of the Federal DREAM Act. But most importantly we have empowered other undocumented youth to not feel isolated in a nation we call home. We have walked nearly 3,000 miles in hope that we can overcome this obstacle and have also put a halt on our lives in order to shed light on this issue. Deferred Action is not enough, its a step in the right direction but will not solve the existent broken immigration system for undocumented youth in America. We ask that President Obama meet with us in The White House because he has stated that he would sign the DREAM Act if it was placed in front of him. Our walk across the country may be coming to an end, but the process to reintroduce a more comprehensive DREAM Act as a stand alone bill is just beginning.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jose Sandoval

Stop Tagg RomneyReading about Tagg Romney's ownership in electronic voting machines in several states is appalling. His father is a presidential candidate, and both have connections with Bain. This constitutes voter fraud. Trying to rig election results in one's favor smacks of treason!80 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jacqui Steinberg

Voting rights at risk in ArizonaI am disgusted with the document sent to Maricopa County residents in the state of Arizona with their voter registration cards listing the wrong date for the presidential election. Similar tactics were used by the Republicans in the 2008 election in an attempt to steal the election and are a disgrace to the United States government and democracy.706 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Pamela Ash

Help people who are in debt with Student loans, stop harrassment from creditors, dismantle Sallie...We are not asking for a free education, but rather help with student loans that are crippling the American economy. Many Americans have lost their good paying jobs and forced to take jobs just to make ends meet, with no extra money to pay off the student loans. Lives and families are being ruined by student loans, people are becoming homeless, many have been harrassed so bad that they have commited suicide. I left a job that I had worked at for 12 years making $35.000 a year, I attended a school, you would call a 'diploma mill'. I graduated with $69,000 in student loan debt. Both Federal and Private Student loans. The school had jobs offers extended to me from cmpanies that were offering $8/hr, these jobs needed no degree, just a high school diploma. I later became 100% disabled, the loans went into default. The Federal loans can be medically discharged...maybe. The private loans cannot. Sallie Mae and its affiliates harrass you to no end and use unethical and abusive methods to collect money...any money that they can. I had a call just last week. I told them that I had $50 left and I needed groceries, reply, "I will take that $50 and apply it to your account." No mention of the fact that my and my family would go hungry. I close with this. I now have over $100,000 dollars in Student Loans. I am ruined, all because I wanted a better future for me and my family. My story is just one of millions out there whose lives and families are ruined thanks to student loans. Lets work together. IMPORTANT: In close, the fees, high interest and the fact that we could not meet the demands that Sallie Mae and any other institutes that service student loans have tacked on mountains of extra debt that compounds the problem, this is reported to your credit report for the rest of your life and beyond. Many of us in this economy, because of the lack of good paying jobs will never make enough money to satisfy these debts. Do you have a story to tell?

Congress-STOP the cost of US Taxpayers paying their Replacement WorkersThe training of Chinese replacement workers in Freeport, IL at the Sensata Plant is wrong, and this has been happening nationwide. Under Chapter 11 of NAFTA, US taxpayers pay for all costs of training their replacement workers. That's all of us. We're now paying the cost of 170 Chinese workers out of our tax money5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Patricia Owens
