To get all of us of all parties to get back our voice resetting one person one vote instead of one dollar ($) one vote

During this year alone, hundreds of thousands of Americans are expected to be too broke to file for bankruptcy. The average cost to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection, the most common form of consumer bankruptcy, is more than $1,500, according to the most recent research submitted to the National Bureau of Economic Research. Then there are the additional costs on top of this, including fees for mandatory pre-bankruptcy credit counseling and a pre-discharge debtor education course. According to a recent study sponsored by the American Bankruptcy Institute, these average about $85 altogether. As a result, there are anywhere between 200,000 and one million consumers, it is estimated, who will be unable to meet the steep cost of filing. What this means is that many Americans, who have seen their debt spin out of control because of things like job loss, foreclosure or a medical emergency, are now left without their last financial lifeline. Yes, Virginia, there really is a Santa Claus, and the the 2005 Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act, was a gift to make it Christmas morning, every morning, for the Bankruptcy Lawyers, Banks and Credit Card Companies.

My petition is in support of St. Charles Health System only using restraint on mentally ill patients as required in OAR 309-112-0000. There are Oregon Rules that St. Charles Health System has violated by restraining mentally patients in non emergency situations!

The petition is about liberal organizations sharing links (for free) that best express their goals, like www.TheTimesNot.com

In this dismal market economy, I feel that school loans should be forgiven, at least until the economy improves, as it will be even more difficult to get a job if the outstanding loans go on our credit reports.

Florida's stand your ground defense appears only to apply when you shoot someone dead. Marissa Alexander fired a warning shot at her abusive husband, once of the bullets went through the childrens room. The bullet did not hit anyone. She received a 20 year sentence from an unjust judge and prosecution team. Instead of us examining other countries laws, we should be examining our own, without delay and political red tape.

The American people are tired of the bickering and name-calling by our political candidates. We are overwhelmed and disheartened by the increase of violence in our neighborhoods, aggression in the workplace, and bullying in our schools. We have lost our way when it comes to common decency, tolerance, and respect. It is said that imitation is the highest form of flattery and you can bet that our children's behaviors are modeled after what they see and hear. Those who choose to seek the highest elected office in our land must show the American people they are worthy of being a world leader. We are asking our Presidential candidates to leave the worn-out rhetoric behind. Tell us what you are going to do to help our country move forward. Respect each other as human beings, agree to disagree, disengage from those who would use words on your behalf to hurt, vilify, and distort the truth. Show our youth that having ideas and opinions that represent a different point of view from one's own is not wrong, nor is it an excuse to become mean-spirited and aggressive. Using words to be clever is not an attribute Americans seek in choosing their President.

C.V.S. is listed as a member of ALEC. ALEC is the prime supporter of legislation to promote nuclear power in the U.S. ALEC is anti-worker. ALEC does support the 1%. Do you want your pharmaceutical dollars going to harmful legislation?

The Gulf of Maine is one of the only "great waters" in America to be ignored by Congress. Great Lakes, Chesapeake Bay, Long Island Sound and many others have federal restoration programs and a line item in the federal budget to provide additional $100's millions every year for clean water and fish and wildlife habitat. Gulf of Maine has an established $20 billion need--and we have a Plan, but we need our Senators to take the lead in creating a Gulf of Maine Restoration Program Office and appropriating funds accordingly.

Scott Davis was convicted of a "crime" which never even happened, in a series of Constitutional violations perpetrated at the behest of, and by, Attorney General Tom Corbett. The President DOES have the power to act on behalf of Scott Davis, as requested - and time is of the essence. Scott Davis is innocent, and should be exonerated and pardoned and compensated for damages by Executive orders of President Obama. This would benefit hundreds of individuals adversely affected by Corbett's hoax, and would be good for America.

Simplicity and clarification of credit card agreements. Remove the confusing, unnecessary and unclear terminology from legal documents. Force banks and lending agencies to adopt a simple, single page credit card agreement form that everyone can understand. The document should be similar to the Siegel & Gale simplified credit card agreement (http://www.siegelgale.com/pdf/Siegel+Gale_Introduces_a_Simple_One-Page_Credit%20Card%20Agreement%20That%20Anyone%20Can%20Understand.pdf)
