Traffic Tickets: paying before proving not guiltyI would like to see a bill passed regarding, traffic tickets being paid upfront before proving a persons innocence. By paying the ticket upfront before a trial, the court only ASSUMES your guilt. Lawmen and women are only human and can easily make mistakes as well as the rest of us.9 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Rhonda

Public loan forgiveness sooner than laterIn order to qualify for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program, one must make 120 on-time, full, scheduled, monthly payments on your Direct Loans. Only payments made after October 1, 2007, qualify. You must also must be working full-time at a qualifying public service organization. Well considering the state of our economy and the fact that many of us with outstanding student loans will not be affected by the proposed changes made by President Obama, why not cut this time in half by say 60 payments? This can help our economy recover quicker and give students the incentive to move into the public service sector.33 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Brenda Almonte

END "DISTRACTED DRIVING" NOW!Pass a U.S. FEDERAL law immediately that would enforce the cut off of smart phone electronic communication (except 911 emergency calls) to motorists in moving vehicles. Otherwise the next casualty could be you or someone in your family. Think about that!8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Dermot McGrath

Properly Investigate the Crimes of 9/11Since there's extremely widespread doubt among the general population (from 40% to a majority in national polls) that the real story of 9/11 and who was responsible has been allowed to come out and is not covered up, we demand that a true, open-ended criminal investigation with full subpoena power and access to all evidence be conducted by a universally acceptable proper court or properly empaneled grand jury.203 of 300 SignaturesCreated by James Hufferd

Write in Bernie Sanders for PresidentI beleive citizens interested in really fixing the problems of this country should consider writing- in Bernie Sanders for President on an Independant ticket. We need a better choice of candidates for President. Obama has not been pushing Progressive enough policies and is too pro-war.Signing-in will make a difference because it will give citizens an alternative to the very corrupt 2-party system.Time is of the essence because Bernie has to have time to get his name more known to citizens who are unaware of how awesome are his platforms and the legislation he has been sponsoring.I beleive he is the only representative who will truly represent the best interests of the 99% so this country can turn around and start going in a direction that is more constructive and effective so our country can become productive,strong and respected again.242 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Caroline Schulz

Make the Federal Government Payback Social SecurityPetition the Federal government to pay back Social Security. It is illegal to use the Social Security money to fund anything else except Social Security. President GW Bush in alience with Alan Greenspan the money's used to 1. Fund the War in Iraq and 2. to keep the government solvent after giving the rich a tax break. There was not a provision to pay the money back. Now is the time to do that.15 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Joyce Moody

Bust the Filibuster!The filibuster is a parliamentary procedure that allows one person to delay and or eventually prevent a vote on an issue unless 60% of the Senate votes yea to end debate and vote. Its time has come and gone and it needs to be gone. It is evident that its use is more political than practical especially now since no Senator even filibusters on the floor of the senate and actually talks about a bill. Only a mention of filibuster stops all movement. Let's get rid of it. Vote here before that is gone too.29 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Vern Porter

Stop the freebiesWe need to quit making taxpayers pay for other people's loans, student or otherwise. It is unfair to create more debt by forgiving the debt of people who don't keep their committments and forcing the government to increase everybody's taxes to eventually pay for the losses. Or, worse yet, force the banks who gave the loans to lose their investments in the people to whom the loans were given.13 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mark B
