In today's wireless high-tech society corporate greed for profit has overridden the concern for the health and welfare of the people. This petition is to demand the White House and Congress to require all corporations to be accountable for the new technologies that they implement. Three to four percent of the population are electrically/radio sensitive and have ill effects from high frequency devices. Doctors are finding more and more cases of cell phone related tumors. The World Health Organization has listed cell phones as a possible carcinogen and high frequency devices have been known to affect pacemakers, blood insulin devices and other medical devices.

Tuition increases are becoming one of the biggest obstacles for our highest achieving students from furthering their education. Affordability should not be a determinant when an individual is deciding to receive higher education. Our generation needs to commit to providing college opportunities for all students. California and its future generations will benefit from this investment.

Wanda Ramey - a retired businesswoman - broke her hip last winter. Because of Medicare, she was able to get the surgery and treatment she needed. If the Republican Billionaire Budget passes, Medicare will end as we know it. Senior citizens like Wanda Ramey are really concerned about this. Will they be able to afford essential healthcare once the Republican Millionaire Budget passes? Sign the petition if you believe that this federal budget - that punishes from the middle class and elderly - should be defeated in Congress! The Republican Budget -- a millionaire's dream come true and a nightmare for the middle class!

Shortly before her death, Irene Goodman was booked into a HELOC loan at Citibank. Citibank claims Mrs. Goodman was overdrawn on her checking account approximately $4,500, yet they cannot (or will not) produce documentation to prove it. Mrs. Goodman's personal banker, who signed her for the loan, was also the Notary Public on the loan. When Irene Goodman passed, her daughter, Debra, inherited the house, and the debt, as the loan was secured to the house, creating financial hardship on her. Debra has taken many routes to resolve this matter, all without success, due in large part to the dismissive attitude of Citibank employees. Now she is dealing with the negative aftermath of a loan whose origin was questionable, at best. Please sign the petition, and let Michael O'Neill know that misdeeds by Citibank and its employees will not go unnoticed, or unpunished.

On Saturday, March 17, 2012 PA Representative Brian Ellis, sponsor of Act 13, publicly announced that he had brokered a deal with Wal-Mart to donate 2,000 gallons of water to the families whose well water went bad since natural gas drilling began in their rural community. Although 2,000 gallons will not last long, the community struggles to make due on a daily basis and depends on each and every gallon. Despite repeated phone calls from community members they are yet to see a single gallon of what was promised them.

Vice President Biden's recent comments in support of marriage equality set off a storm of calls for President Obama to stop dancing around his own support for full rights for LGBT citizens. Obama's continuing reliance on his statement that he is "evolving" so he won't offend swing voters in key battleground states is unnecessary because 50% of Americans now support gay marriage.

At age 18 EVERY person living in USA serves 2-years of government sponsored service including but not limited to military training and advanced specialty education. Education training could cover unlimited subjects--how to build low cost housing, teacher's aides, hospital orderlies, police force adjuncts--wherever a need for help is required. Four million Americans turn 18 each year; a host of helping hands and eager minds addressing some of our most trying needs.

The Federal Government has just passed a new law and put a cap on the amount of time a person can receive the Pell Grant from FAFSA to six years of being a full-time student. The background on this cut is that the people that passed the law are punishing the students that are going to school and just taking the money and not using it to really get an education, but this hurts those who are truly seeking an education to better their futures. This is for all of the students and their supporters who know life happens at the same time as schooling does. Six years is a short time in education.

With only 1/2 of 1% of Americans serving in the military, it's only fair that those who fought for our freedom and way of life should be afforded an opportunity to buy a house at virtually no cost. And it should be paid for by raising taxes on the 1%. Send a proposal to congress to get this done as a stand-alone or attached to the transportation bill. They deserve this and more!

Nothing will make this nation stronger than a purposeful focus on developing the best character values in each citizen. We need our government to 'lead by example' and help establish a significant awareness of how good and strong character values can unite us and make us better. We are calling on the White House to 'Commit to Character' by officially identifying each month of the calendar year as being a different character trait. By instigating this 'movement' you will inspire individuals, families, communites, companies to talk, share, discuss and learn about each of the chosen character values.

This petition is to call for an end of politicians holding up formation of State Banks. Billions of dollars could be saved to help get the State out of red ink
