• Stop Ohio from Executing Abdul Awkwal a Seriously Mentally Ill Man
    Ask Republican Gov. Kasich to vote his faith -- granting a man on death row a chance to have his case heard before a court of law. Abdul Awkal believes that he directed the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, advised CIA Directors and Presidents, and warned the government about 9/11. In reality, Mr. Awkal is a seriously mentally ill individual on Ohio’s death row for the 1992 murders of his estranged wife Latife Awkal and Mahmoud Abdul-Aziz. No one sanctions murder - any murder - which is why the state should not put a mentally ill man to death. This afternoon, May 30, Governor John Kasich denied executive clemency. Without some type of intervention, the State of Ohio will execute Mr. on June 6, 2012. A psychiatrist recently determined that Mr. Awkal does not rationally understand the reason for his execution because he believes his execution is being directed by the CIA. It is unconstitutional to execute someone as mentally ill as Mr. Awkal. Mr. Awkal’s lawyers are back in court trying to get Mr. Awkal’s execution halted, but time is running out. Governor Kasich, we ask that you grant Mr. Awkal a reprieve so that this life or death issue can be put squarely before a court. What can you do? CALL the Governors Office: 614 466-3555 SHARE this petition with anyone who believes that the mentally ill should not be executed.

  • Take The Profit Out Of War
    If the President and Congress believes that the United States must go to war, then EVERYBODY, business and citizens, must contribute and do their share. Congress should pass a law whereby all businesses that have contracts providing for any goods or services that have anything to do with the military, must only charge the government the actual cost of the goods and service, and this policy will be in place for the duration of the war. Any business and CEO, or citizen that over charges the government will be prosecuted as a "War Profiteer" and subject to a fine of 25 times the worth of the company and a 25 year term in prison.

  • Government Officials: They Get Paid What We Get Paid
    The United States of America is a Democracy, and the people we vote for represent US. If they would truly like to represent the people, then they should, at most, receive a salary that averages what people in their districts earn. It would cut costs and reduce debt.

  • Congress Shall Not Receive A Salary Greater Than Any Service Memeber!
    Congress gets away with murder and a great pay check for it. While they murder our ecomony and don't do the job of the people they keep our troops begging for medicine, equipment and insurance for family and self. All congressional members should have no better than the people they represent and our troops in harms way. We are their employers, they are not ours.

  • Prosecute Big Banks--Enforce Riegle-Neal
    Section 101, Part 2 of The Riegle-Neal Act of 1994 states no bank merger or acquisition or new branch bank may be approved if a bank "would control, more than 10 percent of the total amount of deposits of insured depository instituions in the United States." Three banks have been in violation of this since the Bush Administration. Wells Fargo, J.P. Morgan and Bank of America--control close to 40% of the money in this country. The top five banks control 96% of the derivatives market. According to the New York Times the six largest banks now have assets amounting to 63 percent of GDP.

  • Pay the People
    Most medicine on the market is found though basic research and then developed to a certain level with part or all of public, tax payer funding in colleges and universities. Currently, when the final product is released no percent of the profit comes back to the people of the US that funded the research. Let's get a percent of the profit returned to the People.

  • Is there Double Write-down of Real Estate
    It appears that banks and insurance companies have been writing-down the same real estate securities without realizing it. What this means is that we don't have a real estate crisis, but just one big accounting mistake. It means that 50% to 100% of every home in the country has already been paid off without banks realizing it. Simply confirming this will send markets booming, housing crisis solved and 401k's rise.
