Give Us Self-Serve as an Option at Gas Stations46 of the 48 continental states have allowed self-service to pump gas for decades now. Oregon should join them in the name of efficiency & lower prices. Self-serve gas is consistently cheaper and prevents us from wasting time waiting around for an attendant to a> notice a customer, b> realize the pump has stopped.13 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Glenn Leonard

Florida Governor Scott. Leave Florida's College Educational System AloneThe governor appoints people to the Borard of Governors for Florida's state universities who are hostile to the colleges. They are trying to irrationally cut university income rather than consider value and needs of the educational system. I believe that It is the president and the faculty who know what is best for the univesity. Someimes more money not less is needed. Skimping can destroy faculty and thus the value of the education itself. Right now I believe that the cost of Florida colleges compared to others in the are country are very inexpensive and good value..3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Rosemarie F. Myerson

Fix Congress: Change the law so they live like the rest of us.Warren Buffett has the right ideas regarding Congressional benefits and responsibilities - why should they NOT participate equally in the same laws for Social Security, health benefits, pensions, and equality under the law? Why should they be allowed to vote special and better benefits for themselves? The only reason laws can be passed quickly and deficits can be cut is because of consistent, clear public pressure. Demand that Congress change these inequalities OR BE VOTED OUT!17 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Sally Yearwood

Reporting of Non-Disclosure AgreementsGas drilling companies require lease holders to sign said agreements which force landowners to agree to silence where drilling errors are made. The penalty for breaking these agreements is a lawsuit initiated against the leaseholder by the gas company.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Glenn Williams

Grand fathered in benefitsCongress can not change benefits that people receive but they can change benefits for those not yet receiving them. Congress only can change benefits for new recipints. When a United States citizen works for his retirement it is unlawful for congress to change that civilians life as he has set up his retiring years.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by glenn kulich

Reduce student loan interest rates to 0%!Student loan debt is crushing students like never before and as a result, graduates are unable to afford a decent lifestyle of even just the basics. Given the fact that education is fundamental belief and value in this country as well as the bedrock to the success of the economy, if students are required shoulder the burden of debt, it should at least be an interest free loan.14 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Bryant Tillman-Kelly
