The use of the filibuster rule, as now being practiced in the US Senate is creating governmental paralysis at a time when The United States of America faces many challenges, the global Great Recession, rising oil/gas prices, environmental challenges, and educational decline. The American People MUST have a functioning government now more than ever and reforming the filibuster is one step towards fulfilling that need. The filibuster should not be eliminated as it protects the minority from a potentially oppressive majority, but it MUST be reformed.

Stop Obama from taking away our liberties and spending us into a catostrophic depression.

Why aren't all democrats helping in the Scot recall.

An officer of the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank, John Cruz, was fired, after reporting to numerous government agencies in 2008-2010, amassed in 1,000 pages of evidence, and 20 hours of taped conversations, that the bank was laundering massive amounts of drug money through fake, dummy accounts. This must be fully investiated by Congress instead of covered up

MoveOn is asking citizens to urge the DNC to help the WI Democratic party for $500,000 to help with the Recall Walker ground game. I proposed in a response that the DNC match, whatever others raise in the next five days, up to a limit the DNC sets. It is called "political cover." Arthur Berney

The DNC should support my request to move the convention out of North Carolina due to the recent anti gay marriage and civil rights violations.

We have been trying for years to pass a rent justification bill in the state of Delaware. This bill has just passed the Senate by a 11 to 9 vote and now is moving on to the House. This bill will give residents who live in manufactured homes on leased land the ability to pay a reasonable rent and still have the park operators be able to make a profit. Please help our seniors from having to walk away from their homes due to high rents.

Recently another shocking disclosure about the character of Mitt Romney has surfaced. Rather than directly and honestly explain his atrocious behavior bullying students in high school; he simply laughed it off! It is obvious from his statements during this campaign and his long history of supporting tax breaks for the rich and other such stands favoring an elitist agenda, that he is not capable of holding office as the Chief Executive of this Nation, representing all of the People. Bush has already permanently driven this Nation into debt and set a precedent for outrageous policies as President. Can we afford another incompetent elitist in the Presidency? Sign this petition to assert your abhorrence at the RNC position of supporting Romney's candidacy as the Chief Executive, and clearly registering your support for Barack Obama in his bid for a second term!

Financing the Wisconsin recall

Fourteen Pennsylvania legislators with ties to the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) have publicly stated that they are no longer affiliated with the controversial corporate front group. They join dozens of legislators across the country who are fleeing ALEC in response to public pressure from constituents. ALEC is behind the efforts to pass bills that strip away union rights, scale back child labor laws, attack the regulation power of environmental agencies, suppress voter rights with strict identification requirements, eliminate the social safety net, and privatize public services. ALEC is not just another public policy organization, it is a corporate front group supporting some of the most radical and dangerous legislation in the nation. Still, dozens of legislators, including more than 60 Democrats, have not publicly rejected ALEC. Two Democrats, Rep. Joseph Petrarca and Rep. W. Curtis Thomas, are members of ALEC and have not resigned. Sign this petition to get all PA Democratic legislators to publicly say NO to ALEC.

Please consider financial support for the Wisconsin recall effort.

I have been trying to do a modification for the past 3 yrs with my mortgage co. and I am getting the runaround since it is a private investor. I was told in April that they were working with the hamp program but found out that the co. was but my loan was owned by a private investor and they were not working with the hamp program. I filed for bankruptcy 13 in 2010 and now my lawyer is telling me I have 12 days to pay the month I owe them or else the house will be removed from the bankruptcy. I refinanced in the year of 2007 by a co. by the name of American brokers conduit, they appraised by house $750.00 which I questioned them about as the city had my house appraised at $450.00 I was told that the loan was to be capped at 12% and if the rates went down my rate would be reduced which never happen, they sold my loan to American home mortgage and they went into bankruptcy, American home mortgage finally sold the loan to a company by the name of Residential Credit Solutions. I found out American brokers conduit was not licensed to do business in Va. and they had gone out of business except that they are still sending me advertisement about refinancing.
