For two decades now, automakers have pushed highly-profitable large SUVs and sharply reduced or eliminated wagon variations of popular small- and midsized cars. Due to a loophole in the decades-old EPA regulations, these SUVs are classified as "commercial" vehicles and are exempt from the "gas guzzler" tax that is imposed upon cars that get poor fuel economy. We are calling on Congress to level the playing field. Hold SUVs to the same standard as passenger cars, because they are used the same way. Consumers who choose to buy low fuel economy SUVs should be subject to the same tax a car buyer pays for choosing a car that uses excess fuel.

Currently 400 of the wealthiest individuals are deciding what legislation is going to be passed, based on their own interests. This has led to deregulation and tax breaks. Legislators are being bribed every day by lobbyists because people (and corporations apparently) can donate unlimited funds to campaigns. I am proposing a limit of $100 per person per candidate for campaign donations. We spoke about this at Fighting Bob Fest on September 15th in Madison, Wisconsin

They have a private interest. This is a direct conflict of interest. United Way is a nonprofit organization - “public benefit” corporations; the purpose of its existence is to benefit the public as opposed to the private interests of board members, directors, and staff or even of individual clients.

Michigan Representative to the US House, Rep. Dave Camp (Republican), is attacking President Obama because President Obama granted waivers to the Republican Governors of a handful of states to allow them to try out new approaches to moving people off welfare and into the workforce. President Obama specifically stated in the waivers that they will only be allowed if the result is the movement of more people from welfare to work. Rep. Dave Camp's political attacks are not just misleading, but they fly in the face of the outcome that he purports to be seeking.

When my child attended university took out Parent Plus Loan. I am now 70yrs old and I am still paying $500.00 / Month. When I quit working I will have no way to continue the payments. I will then be getting collection calls until I pass away. I also work for Civil Service for the past 30 + years and am a disabled Vet. Is there anyway that I can get relief on this loan?
