To permit Congress to spend more than tax revenue provides, the Fed now sells Treasury bonds on the open market and pays interest to the bond holders. This becomes a serious annual debt interest expense, adds to the national debt, and restricts spending on infrastructure necessary for national defense and competition in the world market. There is a solution to this problem. When faced with the need to finance World War II, the Federal Reserve System bought Treasury bonds "at any price and in any quantity". The interest rate was very low and the quantity was very high. With the Fed’s money, the Treasury paid the nations’ salaries. The post-war spending of consumer savings turned old farms into new suburbs, spawned the baby boom, and began our golden age. With the goal of repeating that wartime success, I have devised a petition to the Chairman of the Federal Reserve System, to the Congress, and to the President:

Early Voting in Ohio

The Ohio Secretary of State has been personally acting to restrict early voting in counties with large Democratic populations. Now he said he is considering limiting early voting hour across the state in the run-up to the November election and will "be listening to local boards of elections' concern on the issue." It is important for democracy that ALL Ohioans have full, equal, and unrestricted ability to vote.

State Representative Mike Turzai (R-Allegheny) told the Republican State Committee on June 23, 2012, that Pennsylvania's new Voter ID Law would "allow Governor Romney to win the state of Pennsylvania." He as much as admitted it will turn away eligible voters—mostly the poor, elderly and women—who traditionally vote Democratic. However, one thing it will not do—what supporters originally proposed at the law's inception—is prevent voter fraud. State attorneys defending the new Voter ID Law at a hearing presented no evidence that in-person electoral fraud is likely to occur this November without the law, according to a court document. The state and the parties challenging both agree in the court document that neither side knows of cases of in-person voter fraud in Pennsylvania. However, the new law could prevent up to 758,000 registered Pennsylvanians from voting! Our problem in this country is low voter turn out, not people voting multiple times! This is a violation of our civil rights and must be stopped.

If you don't personally own stock in a publicly-traded corporation, then your pension fund probably does. When corporate directors approve obscene salaries and bonuses for their higher echelons, they are therefore robbing the rest of us. If you own your own company outright, then okay, pay yourself any amount you please. But if your company is publicly traded, there should be a legal limit to your compensation.

For months, Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted has personally acted to restrict early voting in counties with large populations—casting tie-breaking votes to limit voting to weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. in urban areas like Franklin County,1 where in previous elections 82% of early voters did so on nights or weekends.2 Now, Secretary of State Husted said he is considering limiting early voting hours across the state in the run-up to the November election, and will "be listening to local boards of elections' concerns on this issue."3 We need to let the Licking County Board of Elections know that Ohioans support giving all registered voters equal opportunity to exercise their right to vote.

Boards of Elections across Ohio know that Ohioans support giving all registered voters equal opportunity to exercise their right to vote. Stark County Board of Elections needs to publicly support uniform, expanded early voting hours across Ohio.

I am a US Army veteran. I was hurt while in basic combat training. Because I enlisted as a Reservist, I do not qualify for ANY benefits. I propose that ANY and ALL veterans of the US Military who served any time regardless of enlistment status, reserve, national guard, or active, should qualify for veterans benefits, especially in the case of becoming injured while in training.

States that are using voter suppression should be held accountable. I say we need to march at the steps of each state's state house and protest this blatant racism. I'm not affected directly, but as a minority I am offended by this and it's time to do something. If they are trying to set us back then we need to do what our ancestors did, sit-ins, marches, and protest!! We need to do it now before November 6th!!!

Solar Run Homes, Auto & Solar Fueling Stations for Hawaii. We have a great resource called sunshine. Let's promote what we have the most of and stop the needless waste and destruction of our natural beauty which we all depend on for the tourist based economy on this small island chain. Our scenic beauty is what we have going for us and yet it is still being laid to waist needlessly with plans for more resorts that will require more power to operate and plans for more power plants to help HELCO, our electric company supply the ever increasing demands. There are already grants available for public solar systems and low interest rates for electric cars. Lets get this into the mainstream and make it really a way of life. A new Sun Powered life.

all registered voters in the state should have equal opportunity to exercise their right to participate in all elections

We want to uphold fair and consistent voting rules a Ross the state of Ohio. There should be no sign of favoritism or limits on any segment of the voting population.
