The press and media spends most of its time talking about the Presidential race. That is fine in an election year, but I don't think enough emphasis is placed on focusing on the job that our congressmen and woman and our senators are doing. I think we need a petition to periodically give the American people a report card of how our elected officials are doing to further the course of this country.

Mitt Romney accuses a portion of the population of certain negative characteristics. He refuses to release his taxes, is it because he doesn't pay any either?

Apply a penalty tax to American companies that outsource work, services and product manufacturing, then market goods and services to the American people. Americans would prefer to purchase products, goods and services made, manufactured, produced, serviced, and supported in America by Americans. Quite often there are none of these products, produced, manufactured, serviced or supported here; where they do exist the goods, products and services are often overpriced beyond patriotism. (The 2012 Olympics was a good example, it was a slap in the face to American people and the USA competitors having to were uniforms made anywhere outside of the USA. Our government should apply penalty taxes that make it less lucrative to sell out Americans. Imports should be required to pay a penalty tax as well. Consumers in America, who purchase American made products, goods and services should have their purchases subsidized thereby making it more attractive economically and to also give fair, honest American companies a competitive edge. OOPT there it is!

D.C. rights, including the right to federal representation, control over our own budget, etc, is a huge issue missing from the Presidential debate and narrative of the elections. We need someone in the White House who represents ALL Americans, including those of us living in the Capital! The Presidential candidates should discuss this issue in a public forum.

The internship has become a way for corporations and businesses to take advantage of young middle class college grads. They have the same responsibilities as a job but for zero dollars. The only people who can do them are middle class college grads who are being subsidized by their parents' retirements. It's time to force businesses to stop taking advantage of these kids and create some entry level jobs.

This petition by we, the people of the United States, is to re-establish justice, provide for a better defense, promote the general welfare, reinstate domestic tranquility and trust in Government, and to assure to ourselves and our posterity the survival and the success of Liberty - and to guarantee the survival of every part of the Constitution, especially those parts establishing due process of law, civil rights and respectable courts.

As you work throughout your career, you pay into social security. When you retire, you are taxed for a part of that income. When you have to return to work for extra income, you are again taxed toward social security, even though being retired already, you will never again be able to increase your social security benefits. I believe that seniors who have already begun drawing on their benefits, but find themselves having to return to a job for any reason, should not be taxed again, nor should they have any part of their earnings in jeopardy if they earn "too much", (i.e.- having to pay back $1 for every $3 earned past the alloted annual amount). None of their annual benefit should be taxed again.

I am concerned that if Romney is elected president he will eliminate most of our gpovermnet as we know it today. I am on medicare and social security. I can take care of myself. We are calling on all members of the 47% to stand up and oppose this man outright!

A petition that demands the past 10 years of Romney's tax returns revealed, before the 1st presidential debate.

Every day that I come to campus I try to park in garage C (the garage by the Ted). And every day I see people on every floor circling like vultures to find that one person that's leaving. The same happens for garage D. Our other options are parking in the back of campus, right off the water, or parking over to the side of campus, which are very long walks. And when an event happens, we are all screwed; floors get closed off and we have nowhere to go. We were told that the increase in metered parking (garage B) was a result of demand, but every time I've gone in there it has been close to empty. The same goes for the faculty garage next to it (garage A). There are a lot of commuters at ODU, and we need more commuter parking NEAR CAMPUS.
