Clean Energy Victory Bonds would extend proven government programs that create clean energy and jobs, including the Investment Tax Credit and Production Tax Credit, for a decade. The funds raised from the bonds would also help homeowners make energy efficiency upgrades to their homes and purchase plug-in and electric cars. The bonds will help ensure American competitiveness in the growing clean energy and transportation industries and will help create over 1.7 million jobs throughout the Unites States.

When I inquired about terminating the electric service to my seasonal business for the winter, I was informed that I would still have to pay anyway. They base it on one half of your highest peak of use. How can you charge for a service you are not getting? If you terminate the service, they still charge you anyway. Incredible. Help me stop First Energy's practice of charging for no service.

I think everyone has been personally affected by this issue. All teenagers coming out of high school should have a basic understanding of personal finance, including credit cards, credit scores, interest rates, loans, saving for retirement, 401K's and basic saving strategies. They should also be given specific examples of strategies for success and, conversely, what not to do. It is all too easy for young kids to make mistakes that take them years, sometimes decades from which to recover, and it is imperative that we arm them with the knowledge to make the best decisions possible in their early lives, especially in regard to their finances.

Reducing the Federal Deficit with this act.

As a Cancer Survivor and a woman, I am concerned with negoations between Catholic Health Initiatives and UAMS. If UAMS is taken over by Catholic Health Initiatives it would mean that state employees jobs would be in jeopardy, it would mean lower pay, reduced or no pensions, longer hours, and less benefits including no contraceptives. It would mean that valuable stem cell research could be restricted or eliminated. It could mean that women's health could be negatively impact. This isn't competition in health care but attempt to create a monopoly by CHI.

The US Citizens demand the United States Honor the 1851 Treaty with the Sioux.

Please out the draft Pacific trade deal (TPP) as the unfree and secretly written stinker that it is - unless you're a corporate CEO. We don't want to grant new patent privileges and restrict internet freedom, and we don't want private citizens negotiating or writing our trade agreements.

I feel that individuals smoking in vehicles are just as distracted as cell phone users. They are also responsible for numerous fires alongs our nations highways by flicking cigarettes and ashes out of the vehicle. There are also health concerns involving children and other people that ride in the same vehicle as a smoker. I have have been rear ended by a driver who dropped her cigarette and was trying to retreive it and hit me.

To get 9/11 and religious tolerance day a federal hoilday.

When Clint Eastwood delivered his "Prime Time" speech, he made more news for "talking to an empty chair" than his "Racist Lynching gesture" to President Obama. The Producers of the GOP convention did a great job of editing out his "Racist Lynching Gesture" but my DVR caught it. http://youtu.be/XRnRN69LK-c?hd=1 I am asking you to watch this video and demand Clint Eastwood apologize to President Obama and for Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan to stand up against RACISM and not condone it like they have with their SILENCE!! Sign this petition so we can send a message to Clint, Paul, and Mitt. Racism is not acceptable in any form.

On Sunday, the Chicago Teachers Union announced the first Chicago teacher's strike in almost 25 years. They are fighting against school privatization, closures, and stagnant wages. Ninety-eight of our Chicago schools don't have playgrounds, and 160 schools don't have libraries at all. Forty percent of our schools do not have full time art and music programs, and the entire system is desperately lacking support staff, including counselors and school nurses. The lack of investment in schools is bad for teachers—but it's devastating for our children. As the parent of two children in the Chicago Public Schools, I stand with the Chicago public school teachers.

Amazon.com, the largest online retailer in the world, stopped selling dolphin and whale meat. Why can't Yahoo put the same policy in place for all its sites around the world--including Japan? The Humane Society International and Environmental Investigation Agency have not been able to convince Yahoo to change despite evidence of meat contaminated with high levels of mercury and sometimes from animals protected by the International Whaling Commission.
